I’ve read stories about how “hands off” Lucas is w his actors. Couple that w flat dialogue & it can be curtains.

Oh excellent Jeff @Hornacek, you are correct. Klyden was like Grayson, unhappy w the work/life balance.

CGI or reshoot, whatever’s cheaper

Like @Vader47000 said, could’ve been reshot to add the crib, etc

folks might be “in the pocket” of CBS and are trying to sway people towards ST:D (lol I just realized that just now hahaha) and CBS All-Access

Looks like a new flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

<i>it could have been a second pilot.</i>

it sounds like that whole seeing-starlight-for-the-first-time bit was inspired by the Asimov short story and novel Nightfall - where it does, indeed, go very, very badly

I hear you, everything you said about the trope is true...I still liked this retelling. I liked the Rocky Road/SOMusic. The forbidden door. The “roof” opening up like a giant stadium. I like the tenor of show, mostly. I’m also happy because this just ep4, & I think the humor will keep gelling. I’ve bought in.

Or a “scaled-up model”

More TOS than TNG

Disagree. Episode 4 was not flawless, but imaginative & a solid show. I’ve lately been rewatching TOS, too...so I WAS WORRIED when the pilot aired. Not worried now.

Star Trek was a 60s show. This is an update of Star Trek’s roots.

But they missed the point. This is Roddenberry’s heart freed from cold storage. It’s very much like TOS w a sense of humor. I am an original, childhood fan of TOS (which was also uneven) & this is what I want.

Well, I used that link & gave my feedback, for whatever that's worth

Seriously. This person not hanging out in comments will definitely not be generating clicks. Manipulative & dumbsh!t.

Houses on stilts are the only way to prevent damage from this much rain...and stilts a full story up. Sandy rebuilt this way. Prior, tho, it was just not done.

It came up on Google News for me, don’t remember which pub was linked, tho.

Aint life grand. That blows.

I'm cool w out looking like sh!t cause glossy usually indicates it's worthless. HULU is ridiculous now, too. Screw form over function.
