Star Trek Discovery SUCKS.

[Overmind One]

Star Trek has become just some project in folders in the "Creative" department at CBS. Every morning, somebody named Azshlei-Bruce Brown-Steinmann (non-binary) brings in hir Pumpkin Kale soy latte with cinnamon, and goes over the dialogue, crossing out things with a Hello Kitty marker, scribbling in new lines (using hearts for the dots over the letter "i"). Then ze carries it over to the Production department who goes out and orders more Starbucks, and gets to calling up that fancy Star Trek fabric maker company, then orders more of those AWFUL shoes they wear on the show.


Then, somebody in the Social Media department tweets out more shill swill, while the Facebook Manager posts some pictures and dumb quotes.

Then, somewhere, somebody watches the end result on TV and turns the channel after 30 seconds.

Where is CBS getting the MONEY for these shows. That's what I like to know.

They got the first money from Netflix. I guarantee you that CBS will not be nearly as generous with Season 2.

Watch the trailer of trek I posted above. They've tried to tone down the darkness and made it bit dorky but made it more cringe than the edgy darkness they had.

My beloved star trek is being destroyed .

Oh, we are way past that, my friend. It is long gone and destroyed and pulverized into space dust.

 

[Atlantis]

This is something that the writers could take notes and the way that it is being acted as well. This is art!

 

[PussyGalore]

They've turned it into jj abrams trek.

That trailer is very telling. It shows that they knew season 1 was a turd and they tried to hurriedly shift the entire tone and focus to get back on track. I actually liked seeing Pike take charge with Michael shoved into the background. But then later in the trailer they show Michael blathering some nonsense about her "foster brother Spock" and how he needs her help.

Why don't the writers get that Michael needs to shut up and go away? She is a huge Debbie Downer. No one cares about her fake relationship to Spock. No one cares about anything she has to say on any subject in the universe, ever.

 

[Lord Ba'al]

Yeah seriously, there's 7 bright red dots spread out across the galaxy and those are obviously a Spock distress signal meant for his sister, what the fuck, omfg.

Connect the dots, Michael. Connect the dots!

It's hard watching this. Star trek carries with it a legacy. It's not perfect but it was damn good, but this is just making season 1 of TNG look great. This series feels like a churn and burn intended to binge watch from audience who have a very low attention span. There is no proper story arc. I just wish this shit would stop though.

They've made it worse by trying to make it more star trek, but they've used the WRONG star trek here. This is JJ Abrams Star Trek. It's not the real star trek. Totally the wrong direction
Season 2 is on netflix, so again, I got to ask, who is paying for this shit? Netflix is in red and there is no way this is going to be here for very long.
As far as I can tell there is no regulation 19 section C.

 

[Atlantis]

The cinematography looks amazing but, the storyline and dialogue are terrible

I am watching this instead.

The two year deal:

Netflix pays right to exclusive license in streaming (outside of US) for two years. That paid for ALL of Seson 1, and possibly part of Season 2 if they had money left over. Season 2 is not costing Netflix anything, as they have already paid. CBS is producing Season 2 and Netflix gets to ride free now. This show was NOT "renewed", it was a two year deal to begin with.

I finished Star Trek The Animated Series, and even though the animation is horrendous (by today's standards), the stories are engaging and worth watching. And better than Discovery!

It should tell you that everything is falling apart .

In the case of Star Trek Discovery, we WANT it to fall apart. We should want Kurtzman gone, and all of Discovery canceled. Save NOTHING from it. Not the ships, uniforms, the characters or anything at all. None of my Trekkie friends consider Discovery to be canon or even Star Trek. I think it is fitting that Discovery decided to break from canon, because watching any of the other Trek shows there is no mention of it or any of the characters, and no Michael Burnham is ever mentioned. In fact none of the events in Discovery really exist in the prime timeline. And the "Enterprise" they are showing for Season 2 is just not the USS Enterprise of the original series. It looks like they are using Discovery interiors instead of the real interior which makes it a completely different ship.
