I’m hating the villain’s reveal. Whoa, she smokes a cigar, mocks every person she sees, and she laughs maniacally. And her spaceship has ridiculous capabilities and looks like scissors (again!). Oh, man, so much cringe. No idea if she’s from Earth, but she’s definitely written by Earth people.

LOL! Agreed.

Indeed. Find a great story and then adapt it into the Trek Universe. It worked for The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country.

I would refrain from using the word “excellent”. I’m enjoying Strange New Worlds (plus Lower Decks and Prodigy) a lot, and on the Star Wars side, Andor was good, but not worthy of the word excellent, not the best thing since sliced bread as most online commenters have been overpraising. I’d say watchable and likable…

Star Trek Beyond was crap. The use of another Beastie Boys song, this time as a weapon, casting a star like Idris Elba and then burying him under tons of prosthethics and makeup, and the appearance of a vintage 20th century motorcycle as part of the story. Oh, come on... It has no main title sequence, and the main…

That’s exactly the problem. So many writers, each demanding credit, none of them real fans of the material/franchise. The strange thing is Nicholas Meyer, who directed Wrath of Khan, wasn’t a fan, yet he delivered the best Trek feature ever.

The Power better have a scene or two of pervy rapists fried to ashes by their young victims.

It looks very breakable.

Especially those that sell antiques.

It’s capitalism.

Hey... who’s chopping onions...?

They better ensure it’s a limited series, just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the info. Wouldn’t mind trying one of these.

I like this idea a lot.

The Arrowverse shows quickly adopted the formula: season opener introduces new villain, filler episodes, one crossover episode for the fans, and season ender has the new villain finally dispatched. Rinse, repeat. That became tired very very quickly.

No disrespect to Michael Dorn, but if Worf were a badass killer like John Wick, millions of TNG Trekkies would shit their pants collectively, because Starfleet isn’t about senseless violence and mindless action.

Wait... the oil stays on top, no matter what, yes?

If it’s good, it’s a UFO. If it’s evil, it came from China.

Two years? Wow. One would expect they had a solid plan, and that they were writing and prepping season 2 while the first season aired. I don’t think audiences are that patient. All shows that have had long breaks between seasons have suffered and have lost viewers.

I stopped caring about many of these characters. And the newer ones too.
