Personally, I am not liking Discovery anymore. The dialogue.... wow rough, and they pander to the Left, so hardcore, that I feel like they aren't really trying to be far-reaching or revolutionary in commentary on human nature in any meaningful sense. In this political climate anyways, I was hoping for a series that would bridge gaps, instead of straddling the devides. Don't get me wrong I am on the left and I enjoy progressive storylines but I also don't like to feel like people are spoon feeding me like a baby. It seems really fluffy trying to disguise itself as something dark and original. They want you to feel for the characters but they don't give the characters any time to develop, either in friendships or as individuals. They are just bonded and you gotta except that within 1 or 2 episodes.
There was one episode that was like a "Groundhog day" style 30 minute time loop and there were so many plot holes I wanted to smack the writers.
You're better off just getting into Dark Matter or The Expanse
Dark Matter, a Canadian made show with a lot of Canadian actors they actually do a lot of french Canadian jokes within the show... it's nice. Brings out my nationalism lol. This shows scripting can really fall short at times. But they gave you enough character development that even real cheesy lines don't matter so much after a while. I have a love/hate relationship with this show too sometimes.
The Expanse not my faverite scifi but far better than what I think Discovery is doing. If I had my way the next Star Trek would have been these two shows and a bit of Firefly thrown in. You have seen Firefly right? Please tell me you have seen Firefly?
Did you hear that Quentin Tarantino might be developing the next Star Trek Movie?
I would watch that shit.
That all being said I am watching Discovery to its conclusion wether I like it or not.... They could always pick up different writers on different seasons and that can drastically change a Star Trek series. Some ST series I didn't fall in love with until I was deep into the 3rd season. I am willing to give it a chance.
I've watched and loved both Dark Matter or The Expanse. I cannot believe they cancelled DM... fuck..
I mean it was super cheese, but it gave you everything you wanted to a T in a sci fi show.
Expanse first few eps were hard to handle, such bad acting at first oh man... they really got there shit together halfway through season 1 and then it fucking rocked after!
No i did not hear about Quentin's movie, super excited tho for that to happen!
Oh and in terms of Discovery, the only reason I'm watching it is bc DM is cancelled and waiting for the Expanse lol...
I'd say The Orville is way better and more hilarious. Seen that? Seth Macfarlane!
And yes, that groundhog day ep...i mean classic sci fi ep there but jeez...
They... they canceled Dark Matter?....
Just read an article about it... I am so sad now. But that last season ...it was a little rough.
The Orville, someone was talking my ear off about that show just last night. Haven't seen it but I am interested... I got a few adult cartoon series I have been meaning to binge watch.
ya, it was getting pretty crazy with the whole black ooze (kinda x-files), still I would have watched it lol. It was a guilty pleasure. I'd put it on and just write music or Steemit while it was on lol.
Orville is awesome, if you are a Star Trek fan you'll laugh a lot.
MONKEY DUST!!!
I know! I know! I have been meaning to get to it like almost every other week since you mentioned it. It is the next in prioritized order of viewing - don't worry. Calm yourself.
