Bro what a good boy. Imagine never having to deal with human bullshit like money again. You get to chill, eat food that you think is delicious, play sports, and just generally only ever have to worry about that shady mailman fella.
He even took away the one thing that could ruin all that. If a dog could speak they’d be a freak show.
The dog seemed pretty intelligent as soon as it could speak, and most dogs are pretty damn happy. Being human kinda sucks imo and how do you know your new dog taste buds won’t love that cardboard? Clearly there’s a physical component to taste since covid changed so many people’s taste perception.
Admittedly, the one thing that would drive me crazy would be missing my friends
Discovery lacked the DNA of other Star Trek in my opinion. Note that I did not finish the series so some of these things may have improved in the last season or 2.
It focused mainly around a few characters instead of fleshing out a great ensemble cast
The visual language of the show does not match Trek IMO. It’s too dark, too much blue, it looks like a Michael Bay thing
The characters did not feel like professional officers. Excess PDA, emotional outbursts, cowboy lone hero nonsense, snark, overt arguments, constantly raised voices, etc. In previous Trek, raised emotions were exceedingly notable, and meant something really important was happening
The klingons
I didn’t like many of the characters as people, including most of the main cast’s characters
There were things I did like
Great premise with the spore drive
I liked some of the characters, like Stamets and Saru
Great SFX
I’m sure I’m forgetting things, it’s been a while since I’ve thought about this show
I’m not the OP but I got a bone to pick with the way you wrote this comment.
actually think I read them, but such a long time, I doubt you were even born yet
Lmao what a weird thing to say. Congratulations on being older?
it’s too bad you can’t enjoy a production of this quality on this scale
True, I can’t enjoy a low quality show that focuses on meaningless drivel between poorly written and acted characters.
just keeps getting incrementally better with every passing episode. It’s really good televison, and the best show on tv right now
I wholeheartedly disagree on this. Even if it were good, which it really really really isn’t, shows like The Bear and Severance are on an entirely higher tier.
There are parts of this video I agree with, and parts I don’t agree with. “Real men” don’t have to be pseudo-militaristic officers to be “real men”. What Star Trek shows in older media isn’t necessarily something to aim for in your day to day life, but what they DO show is a degree of professionalism that is lacking in the newer shows. I do not agree that stoicism and self suppression are the hallmarks of manhood and adulthood, but I do feel that they are part of what a good officer might look like. Other parts also include a good sense of camaraderie and team spirit, and those are also things that feel somewhat missing from some modern media beyond big moments when the characters finally realize they must work together.
I’m partial to TNG so I will say that the crew of the Enterprise D felt like a team of trained officers who gradually became more familiar with each other and gradually developed friendships and familial relationships over time. The crew of the Discovery felt to me like a group of friends on an adventure, pretending to be officers. It also didn’t feel to me like they were real professionals. Professionalism to me implies a degree of decorum, and separation from private life. In TNG the intrusion of personal life in the work environment always felt like an intrusion (of various levels of importance and severity). In STD people openly show PDA while on the job and routinely make their personal problems everyone else’s problem too.
Of course, I recognize there are exceptions. Firstly, TNG had many flaws. Beverly Crusher did not need to fuck a ghost, but at least she was there to bury her grandmother. And at my workplace, there is some leeway in terms of mixing work and private life - but then again, we aren’t military.
I don’t think this post should be downvoted, let’s discuss it.
People have no real obligation to engage in any specific way with posts, and your post didn’t give any context beyond the video, so it became “dont like video, dont like post”. I replied because I wanted to, that’s all
