I can understand that about Dune. It is hard to stay interested in that one. AFAGOT is concerned, I could only suffer through 100 pages before giving up and reading the new Gibson at the time.

It’s ok to worship assholes in fantasy but not sci-fi? That makes no sense.

That’s a very limited definition of kitsch. There is plenty of kitsch work that has a pov. Kitsch povs are just easily digestable and unchallenging.

Yeah I know. I rewatched it yesterday and I could have sworn I replied to my comment last night admitting my error.

Having just rewatched this, I was totally wrong. They do say one gender and that the gender is male.

If you haven’t watched the last 3 seasons of DS9, you really can’t even comment. Except for the final season those are the best seasons. My god you haven’t even gotten to the greatest Trek episode ever yet, In the Pale Moonlight.

“The music also sounded like it came from a royalty-free Star Trek soundalike collection.”

“and Bortus (Peter Macon), who we’re told is a member of an all-male alien species. (Call it the soft bigotry of low expectations, but it was a relief that Mercer opted instead for a lame gag about leaving toilet seats up, rather than the gay-panic joke mandatory to any of MacFarlane’s other shows.)”

I think the aesthetic is like ST:TNG but I would argue that the campiness is more like ST:TOS if ST:TOS was self aware.

TNG’s second season had a writer’s strike. So there’s that.

Well his XO is his ex-wife so not all conflicts are external.

The first season of TNG is rough especially Farpoint.

Considering he is a huge Trek fan, him getting bored seems unlikely.

And the jello guy and weird botanist were playing off the, everyone is bipedal trope, without making it a big deal.

The final season of ST:ENT had some decent episodes but it was mostly drek.

Because Bojack is unwatchable tripe.

ST Discovery comes out on the 23rd

Farscape was basically just an advertising vehicle for Jim Henson Creature Shop. It didn’t make the full 5 seasons because it was too expensive and the Creature Shop didn’t get the business out of it they thought they would.

Oh you mean making fun of sci fi tropes like everyone being a bipedal humanoid by having a blob creature that gets run through in the hallway?

Lol a new Star trek series supposedly set in the Prime timeline that looks like the Kelvin timeline and is all about war doesn’t sound like an actual Star trek series. Nevermind that no one is getting CBS all access to watch it.
