So essentially, Ridley Scott muscled Neill Blomkamp out of fixing the Alien series with Alien 5 and has pooped out another bad movie instead?

I’ve been following talk about Star Trek Discovery since it was first announced. I was excited, then became worried when I found it was to be streaming only, IMHO a bad decision. When I was at the 50th Anniversary in NYC Javits Center last year, I saw Nicholas Meyer talk on the Discovery panel, and he even seemed like…

We’re definitely in the minority, but I agree with you. Rogue One was a terrible movie, and I have fallen asleep every single time I have tried to watch it. I would literally rather watch Phantom Menace, because at least it has cool clothes and cool spaceships and the BBEG gracefully takes a backseat to the most…

Eh, it just did its own thing without having to announce it to the world with show producers patting themselves on the back. Subtlety is not the case here.

You and me both. I do not like prequels. I dislike having what I already know about a movie explained to me, usually in excruciating detail. And it ALWAYS conflicts with the story that was already told.

That’s just, like, your opinion man. I thought it was the perfect blend of camp sillyness and interesting character dynamics I love from TOS. All the characters were on point, and the story was lightweight but still well thought out. As for the Beastie Boys bit, that was pure genius if you ask me. It was the whole…

First, never name a new TV show so that the initials of the title spell STD.  NEVER DO THAT.

Cancel this production. Give it a year, Give Doug Drexler a shit ton on of money to design the Enterprise G and a shit ton of ships. 24 Episodes 12 episodes in the fall and 12 in the spring. Sell toys subscriptions and eat cellular peptide cake!

also with extra lens flare this chair now looks like a BLACK HOLE robot

If Discovery goes badly, there’s only one entity to blame: CBS.

Ummm... I wrote GENE is dead. As in Gene Roddenberry.

Forgive me for sounding pretentious but I started getting worried when I saw the ship and logo design. Then even more worried when I herd it was a prequel to TOS. The news that it’s in the prime universe felt bitter sweet when it started to sound like a repeat of Enterprise.

Just to see Rainn Wilson with the comb-over and handlebar mustache will make this quickly-becoming-a-trainwreck called Discovery worth watching!

This is what happens when you have people making decisions about something they don’t understand. They have no idea what it is or why it’s loved, let alone how to successfully execute and market it. The boss just said: “We have a valuable IP. Go do something with it that will earn money.”

No, what we need is The Misadventures of Harry Mudd: Swashbuckler of the Spaceways!

Cars 4: Dark Mater coming soon from Pixar.

It’s worth remembering that the original attempt to launch _Star Trek_ at all took a then-unheard-of two pilots; that the second live-action _Star Trek_ series, _Star Trek: Phase II_, in the mid-70s, churned through development hell and eventually wound up becoming the _Star Trek_ movie franchise; and that _Star…

That is profoundly cynical and profoundly accurate...sadly.

And CBS if I recall killed several fan shows because of this mess.

And they’ll say “See nobody watches Sci-fi.”
