after the disaster of s2 they should take their time, correct their errors, fire 100 more producers

It is remarkable how many series Fuller has started on then promptly bounced from, but since everything he kept working on is great and everything he abandoned (or was forced out of) turned out to be a mess I'm choosing to see this as a condemnation of the medium
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Saturday, 25 April 2020 05:50 (four years ago) link
I enjoyed the hell out of S2 but between this and Picard I think the notion that someone can make a contemporary Trek series is kind of a false premise. The days of running 7 seasons of 25 eps per year is long over, and all these shows are so plot heavy that you can't afford to have duff character eps in a 10 episode season that is all in service of the narrative arc.
That said, Pike was a legitimate great addition to ST lore and the actor played him well. I'd happily see a Pike-led TOS style show.

I don't get the love for Disco Pike! Shakey bafflingly called Picard a nullity but I think that title is more applicable to Pike.
― Judd Apatowsaurus (Leee), Saturday, 25 April 2020 06:15 (four years ago) link
Totally agree that Pike brought some clear TOS energy (not to mention some proper mature hotness, instead of being another of these callow bearded younglings that the Trek casting teams seem so in love with these days). But season two of Discovery is a boring mess.
― trishyb, Saturday, 25 April 2020 10:25 (four years ago) link
Thought the second season was miles better and more fun, even if it missed Jason Isaacs’s weird whatever-it-was. The last ep was stupid, though.
― Chuck_Tatum, Saturday, 25 April 2020 15:54 (four years ago) link
Michael is the nullify for me, in the sense that Sonequa M-G always seems weirdly uncommitted - although she had a good chemistry w/Spock iirc. Also! Discovery Spock >>> Zachary Quinto
― Chuck_Tatum, Saturday, 25 April 2020 15:57 (four years ago) link
the uncommitted thing seems like a misfire on the attempt to seem culturally Vulcan

CBS All Access has given a series order to STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, starring Anson Mount as Captain Pike and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. pic.twitter.com/xPopnvw4Xy— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) May 15, 2020

Just for me, obviously.

me 10 years ago: with theyd make more star trek tv :(me 10 seconds ago: woha guys calm down i havent even finished picard yet
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Friday, 15 May 2020 18:35 (four years ago) link
some fans just can't be pleased i guess
i watched the first few Enterprise episodes recently. seems to be entirely
1. vulcan lady is right about everything > captain whines, insists on doing something stupid, manages to half-assedly at least survive > vulcan lady begrudgingly starts to appreciate human stupidity
2. engineer has a bad accent, and not even amusingly like scotty
3. will the vulcan lady get her kit off in this ep
also, would you take a beagle on a submarine? then why are you taking one into space?
― mookieproof, Friday, 15 May 2020 19:17 (four years ago) link
lol I read this 3 times thinking you were talking about Discovery and wondering what on earth you were on about.
Happy to hear that Pike's getting his own show. I know nothing about Anson Mount but he made a meal out of what could have been a nothing part, so if they write some proper Trek stories it could be good.

wait until u get 2 the therapeutic massage episodes

a whole therapeutic massage STORY ARC
so if they write some proper Trek stories it could be good
Big if imo.

lol i don't think i'm gonna continue. i kinda like the doctor, though -- he's chipper but not in a way that invites murder (unlike neelix)
i'm told the vulcan lady gets the pon farr, despite it being non-canon for females
just some extremely horny showrunning

Pretty excited about Pike Trek. Hope it's more optimistic and episodic, but not holding my breath.

Pretty sure that's her name, i.e. Lt. Commander Number One.

hello i am 10 episodes into season 2 and here are my thoughts1. Captain Pike forever2. Could watch Michael & Spock play go-fuck-yourself-space-chess forever3. Did it need to take EIGHT episodes to find Spock? Seriously, that drove me round the bend. But maybe I’m just impatient, the leadup episodes were decent.4. Can we make Michelle Yeoh fight more? I love her so much5. TALOS IV!!!!!!! So great. 6. Captain Pike forever. Also down with this Spock. Bring on the spinoff because I am so down with these two actors.

Disco 3 premiere is the sappiest thing I've seen in a while, and I loved it. Stoned Michael is a lot of fun.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this season in that it hopefully won't be as beholden to established canon as it's been in the first two seasons (and which Picard suggested from, too), which seemed like they were overcompensating (natch) for something and had to prove they were real Trek by throwing in as many references to previous series, instead of working on e.g. better world building. Interestingly, Lower Decks manages to drop a ton of references while both creating its own identity and training an undeniably Trek ethos.

One bit where she's hiding behind a pillar, pops out to take a shot, pops back and has this "....fuckin rite!?" look/grin that made me and B crack up.
It was a good episode! Wish they hadnt called that guy Book though, thats Firefly's thing!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 17 October 2020 23:00 (three years ago) link
I was a bit thrown because he played exactly the same character with his "strong Manchester accent" in Supergirl last season.
But much more Stoned Michael please.
― pedantly admonishment (aldo), Saturday, 17 October 2020 23:20 (three years ago) link
I kind of agree with the AV Club's complaint that Discovery is too focused on Michael. But I also very much enjoyed stoned Michael. I've never seen Sonequa Martin-Green smile so much.
― trishyb, Sunday, 18 October 2020 11:19 (three years ago) link
Hopefully they keep playing with that now that she’s far away from any Vulcans
― mh, Sunday, 18 October 2020 15:15 (three years ago) link
Good episode. My expectations for the season remain low, given how S2 and Picard S1 turned out.
― wasdnous (abanana), Sunday, 18 October 2020 20:48 (three years ago) link
S2 was good idk why everyone rags on it

Season 2 was great! Picard was naff but I enjoyed it regardless

yeah i didnt like Picard that much

They seemed to work well in the first episode
I got the impression the second episode guy just had the power cranked way low because he’s a sadist who likes microwaving people
