When one of the actors laughs involuntarily, breaking character while delivering a particularly absurd science explanation, I believe the director must have left it in on purpose
@courtcan seconded. Wouldn't go near that first guy. 2nd guy ... well i wouldn't go near most guys BUT i can appreciate that yeah, so much better looking now. ;)
I haven’t seen a lot of #StarTrekDiscovery discussions on my home feed, despite the fact that I follow a good many #StarTrek hashtags and Trekkies. Is nobody watching the final season?
Great to hear on the replies that people seem to watch and enjoy the final season of #StarTrekDiscovery! It's just that I won't subscribe another US-centric streaming service. There's still all the old Trek available on Netflix here in Germany. I will pirate Disco once its finished. It was imo really a mistake from Paramount to go into streaming.
@jynersolives I have watched it, and I have found it entertaining. The subtle (and overt) connections to ST history have been fun. My issue with the series overall is sustaining the energy for a “galaxy threatening event” every year is exhausting. Can’t the holodeck just mess up one ep? SNW has become my favorite nuTrek (with LD close 2nd)
@usernamefactory@startrek I don't know if I agree with that premise. I've run into any number of people who became Trek fans in general by starting with Kelvin.
That said, I don't know that breaking the movies into more timelines is a great idea.
And I personally would be skeptical that anything from the proposed movies would ever turn into a TV series. They are really operating in separate spaces right now. And P+ is shedding series faster than they're adding them.
Now that I’ve thought about it some more, it’s unlikely the movies would be making any decisions based off of what’s best for the streaming shows. That would probably be seen as the tail wagging the dog.
That said, I’ve definitely encountered people who enjoyed the films but skipped the shows on account of not knowing where to start and finding the relationship too confusing. It would make sense to pair a successful “early days” movie with an “early days” spinoff series to lure some of that casual audience to streaming.
Interesting choice. I can think of a few other people who have some Trek experience that might be able to produce a Star Trek film, but ok.
I'm sure up at the top there's totally different chiefs in charge of TV versus film and they don't interact with each other at all and don't want to. It's a bummer.
@maleandroids Technically anything before Discovery is now a prequel, so I'm not concerned about that per se. I am concerned as a fan who's outside about honoring what's been established and not starting a whole new timeline, or at least making it clear if you're starting a whole new timeline.
