Star Trek: Discovery

So this has been getting great reviews (the first 2 episodes that is). Including from Sam Witwer who I trust.

I'm really sceptical, but obviously I'm gonna watch it.

“Star Trek: Discovery” creators: Our Klingons are secretly Trumpsters

Sigh, this is gonna suck.

I'd heard about this, but hadn't actually read any details on it. TBH, if they had set it after Voyager, put it in the Alpha Quadrant and came up with a new species to do all this with, I wouldn't mind one bit. The universe is made up of all kinds.

But the ****ing Klingons? No. **** that.

So thanks politics, you most likely destroyed something else.

If the show fails we know why. Oh well, a shame though.

This show is airing exclusively on the CBS streaming service right? Only the first episode is airing on the actual network?

Yep. You gotta pay to get your Trump Klingons.

Do I, though? Do I?

I'm not planning on watching this either way. Hell I've never even watched TNG or the other ST iterations.

That's good, you don't know what the show might have been then until the SJW bullshit got in the way. So even if you do watch it you will be fortunate, you won't have anything to compare it to. After all, someone who has never eaten a single thing in their life probably thinks a piece of stale bread tastes like filet mignon.

The only Star Trek I've watched is the first season of the original show. I did enjoy it, but I never finished. I've attempted to start TNG a few times but always have trouble getting into it. Also the immense number of episodes kind of intimidates me from really trying to watch it as it would be a pretty big and long term endeavor. One day, though.

you're dead to me now.

🙁

Huh Trumpster Klingons sounds strange to me given I always saw Klingons more like some of the extreme Muslims sects- as in can have a sense of honour but can also be a bit too violent.

Trump would be more of a Gul Dukat in my eyes.

Well they are warrior conquerors. They have something of a class system, but by and large it's a meritocracy, and of course their own lore is that they killed their own gods. So it's more philosophers instead of priests that guide them.

Oh, Dukat is straight-up Hitler.

this better be good on sunday

Yeah I'll give this a look. Hopefully they knock it out of the park

I will too, but I am not holding my breath they will knock it out of the park.

Starts tonight. Got it on record

Good Idea. Then if it sucks You can have the pleasure of Deleting it.

15 minutes in, and not impressed.

The space suit into an asteroid field with a 20 minute time limit 'till radiation poisoning is all kinds of stupid.

And I don't like the Klingon designs.. They look like they're covered in baby oil or something..
