Star Trek Discovery

Sounds like the ingredients to a brilliant B or B- grade movie.

 

I"m rather enjoying it.

But I cant disagree with any of that.

If you forget its trying to be star trek, its some trippy full on sci fi tv, lots of action

And the cast is really growing on me

But yeah, they are just not bothering following the timeline are they

 

You're watching most of season 2 for the first time?

 

Sounds like it might be a worthwhile endeavor!

I'm concerned about paying extra for something (subscribing to anything - ever! lol), but I might buy in. Where do they store back-episodes, and where do I sign up?

 

Netflix dude. All Star trek series are on there!

 

Really? I have Netflix, but I thought it was a subscription through some other site. Ok, thanks!

 

I don't think it's on Netflix in America.

 

Damn, first thing i noticed we have on Netflix that americans don't have. Except local dutch stuff

 

Just been too much other stuff to watch

 

Yeah, it's on Netflix here too

CBS all access in the US, and produced by them, makes me wonder how much more generic the series would be if produced by Netflix, it wouldn't be this trippy.

Although the good news is if Netflix is paying for the rights outside US, don't have to worry about the shows US ratings alone to keep it going

 

Ok, Im a convert now

Episode 8, with the Talosians, was friggin awesome

 

Season 1 was topnotch as well So what are you converting from?

 

I think no. 1 is, Marten-Green isnt a lead actor, she just overacts. Season 1 was all over the place, too much tree hugger crap and it was too much the Michael Burnham show

No 2. Referencing Spock all the time I thought was lame, because I thought thats all they were going to do. Didnt think they would actually put the character in, that all makes a lot more sense now

No 3. On a personal note: Season 1: Having a gay couple on the show and then portraying them as having this perfect relationship where they just compliment each other all the time was really annoying. Oh please like they arent going to have a big bitch fight every second night. Season 2: They have a big bitch fight




Sure there is a bit of the die hard fans just complaining anyway/ Getting used to new characters / The shock of it not really being like any previous series.

But I dont think its just that, writers/ priducers did seem to bury the Klingon war thing quickly and make season 2 less about Burnham.

Anson Mount, the guy that plays Pike, BTW. Looks like his ancestry is from your neck of the woods, has this Dutch look /Jamie Lannister thing going on

 

Season 2, eps 13 and 14, season finale:

Fuck yeah!, now thats what I'm talking a-BOUT!!

 

Star Trek Discovery Season 3 premiers on October 15th
