A few more of these series and the bad will outnumber the good Star Trek.

the orville is the real star teak now.

They should add Boimler the transporter clone as a main character to the show. Maybe then it will be worth to watch it.

Wtf did i just watch? I was never the biggest Star Trek fan, but this just seemed silly. Just like with the Dune series, it seems as if the makers have never seen Star Trek.

 

[Melon Husk]

Oh look, it's another grimdark bloody turd from Alex Kurtzman. The man's unhealthily obsessed with Shin Bet Tal Shiar, Section 31 and other secret intelligence agencies.

 

[RavageX]

Yeah I'm gonna have to pass. I only saw maybe two hints of this being star trek. Maybe they should just call it something else? Some generic name like they do with tv shows and movies now.

WTF is going on these days? This looks just like the Star Wars stuff now

Star Trek: The next tax write off

I hope everyone realizes that these shows are all losses or have some kind of money laundering financial loophole by now...all the disney stuff...all this garbage thats been shoveled in our faces over the last 10 or so years

The SNW crossover kinda does, at least in an "animated alternate dimension" sorta way. But I'm not sure anything in LD directly contradicts anything that could/would happen in whatever "main timeline" folks might consider to be canon.

I just think the TNG visual aesthetic, well demonstrated in LD, as well as the level of tech and the general state of the galaxy (no massive wars, lots of races have reasons to mingle or squabble, there is a place for Starfleet to be both diplomatic and explorers) in the late TNG era is a great one for another traditional style show and I'm not sure why 'they' are so damned reluctant to just give us one!

IMHO the worst things about SNW are the bits they try to hammer into making it a TOS 'prequel'.

 

[Trilobit]

I haven't liked any Nu-Trek after the Star Trek movie (2009). I gave up on Discovery very fast as it didn't feel like Star Trek. SNW was a bit better, but it also lacked what made the original and Next Generation so incredibly good.

This is just another step away from fans like me.

 

[Ovek]

I will watch it but I already know is going to be shit.

If it is just a movie then it's an easy watch. Hopefully we get some good ship fights that are not as crazy hectic as the Abrams ones.

That could've made it a relevant, evident Trek movie and watchable.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

This has to be parody or just plain mean-spiritedness at this point, they know how shit this is.

How in the world does Michelle Yeoh not age.. Jesus she still looks great.

The trailer made no sense to me. It literally can be any random sci fi show.

She looks positively ancient in this trailer. A fucking 80 year old grandma kicking ass, in heels, in Star Trek! They have completely lost the plot.

OMG Rose is so fucking hot, god I still wanna paint her like one of my French girls!

I’ve been watching TNG lately.
Boy do I miss real Star Trek.
This show is a pass.

I see they're a lot of TNG fans in here. To me personally the real Star Trek is TOS, I prefer the optimistic tone and the chemistry the old crew had with Kirk, Spock and Bones. So I do prefer Star Trek shows with a bit more action and adventure. My only issue with the new shows is that the writing is terrible.

TOS was a bit too random and low budget for me. A planet straight outta 30's chicago? For all their bangers there were some reaaaalllll stinkers in there as well. I think the films are what cement TOS as quality for me, especially the II-IV run and then VI. Absolute asskicking storytelling in those films and great character work. Sadly TNG never really got a great film and even their best, the Borg one, was accomplished at the expense of neutering their greatest foe. TNG and then DS9 hit the right balance between quality visuals, strong ensemble casts, compelling sci-fi allegories, and a legit narrative of future humanity.
