What a brilliant premise that show’s spore drive used to be (and visually stunning to say the least), but man has Discovery ruined that opportunity with way too much haste, way too much emotion and way too much cultural relevance lecturing. Everyone besides Lorca is portrayed as either a fresh-off-the-academy-toddler with emotional outburst disorders, a know-it-all hotshot or as a completely inept quota hire. But hey, one day we might be able to feed that entire show into a benevolent AI that replaces all that garbage segments with timeless storytelling once again.
One thing that iffed me highly on Discovery, all the seasons is the weapons fire. Everyone using pulsed phasers like its Star Wars, like wtf. During pre-ToS pulsed phasers was phased out for the Phaser beam turrets after Ent so what are we watching? Like if we wanted laser pew pew we go watch Star wars man
I judged too harshly on the pretense of having watched the other shows. While it's certainly not a great show in my eyes, neither my cup of tea, I was too quick to judge it before watching. Truthfully, the show is interesting enough to hold attention, and the writing is average at best- nowhere near as bad as people claimed it to be. As an old DW fan, take it from me- in Star Trek's case, you haven't seen bad writing at all. Not even close.
I’m a LONG time trekkie and I liked Discovery because it was different! Why not a spore drive? We’ve had crystalline entities, borg, the Q, etc………and an engine is an issue? It was violent, gripping, that first season kept your head spinning! Was it perfect? Nope! But bravo for taking chances and trying something new! This is NOT your pappys shatner!
Any other drive, like the slipstream drive, transwarp drive etc would of been absolutely fine but the Spore drive literally teleports the ship to anywhere in the universe. Like they even make it so the spore drive can transport other ships with it. By this effect, it makes travelling from A to B seem pointless(which most plot of all star trek is derived from the travelling from A to B). Like last season of Disc that they get a massive head start but end up short anyway? Like what?
Star Trek communicators always crack me up, no matter what show. The characters rarely confirm the end of their own comms channels (like "Acknowledged. Riker, out." which he'd say sometimes). i say that because i love imagining Lorca and the rest of the bridge crew hearing Culber say, "I love you" and for a split second thinking it was for Lorca, like in Airplane.
Why did Discovery have to jump so many times after the Klingon vessel clocked? The Discovery clearly knew where the ship was so why didn't they just fire?
They had to jump around the Klingon ship to break the cloak. Besides that, there were still crew members of the Discovery on board the Klingon ship. And even if they knew where the ship was, they probably couldn’t lock on because it was cloaked.
could they not have made the sensors a little more...covert? instead of something the size of a bowling ball plastered with the Federation logo, and glowing like a christmas tree, maybe something a little more subtle?
You know the new Enterprise and that is kind of nice but I really love the old one like Enterprise D and the old Enterprise the first one ever made they were the best but I would like to Star Trek to have more battles to protect themselves no engine failures are my work speed this internet offline just attack and go for it and bait the aliens whatever the hell you're fighting cuz it makes you feel kind of boring when you have to oh my engine is offline my Force feels down to 60% oh my God make them the Top Guns of the Star Trek Enterprise no one destroys the Enterprise at all change the way of this thinking cuz the new the ones you have right now the new ones with a digital thing is not no good I don't like it it's not like back then when you used to when they had to push buttons and stuff like that and on screen and everything that's fine but the Enterprise D and the Enterprise the first one ever made I love those seasons don't make them too advanced because it's going to be kind of boring I like when they're going to battle the Enterprise always has to come up front and always succeed and be the winner always please respond to this thing and tell me what you think about it
What is it with the ADD generation, every goddamn show has to have shit spinning in circles and teleporting around everywhere and barrel rolling constantly for no reason, it's fucking cliche.
Scientists not navy Remember is is also Pre OS Star Trek. Discovery was even more a Science Vessel then the Constitution Classes were. It was a Armed Science Lab
@scotthartman8993 still no excuse, honestly. In any case, they operate within a military-type structure. In freaking space. Scientist, military, or lunch lady, their actions are awful.
I feel like it got worse once Lorca was written out, but it also makes me wish they had found Prime Lorca. It'd be funny if both the Prime and Mirror versions were equally just as strict on discipline.
@@chrismaguire3667 To me it's an effect meant to signify the interdimensional jump, not a literal spin. Like how TNG phaser fire can singe holes into a body without having it collapse or the organs falling out as it disintegrates. My guess is that it's meant to represent the ship as a poly-dimensional solid, kinda like how graphic renderings of a tesseract show 2 cubes "moving through" each other.
@@dividius8004 dude ... every iteration of star trek has been woke for when it was made, example TOS was made 1966-69 and Nyota Uhura was a black female the equal rights amendment didn't get ratified until 1973 and they got a crap ton of hate for making a "un-pure" show because she was able to intermingle with white crew members
The word you're looking for is "Progressive," not "Woke." There is a massive difference. Previous shows were progressive and egalitarian in their approach to things. The best of the best rose to the top without prejudice or favoritism. This show is woke. It simply checks boxes in an effort to virtue signal.
Discovery may not be the Star Trek we remember, but this is my favorite battle. I know I am going to be hated for liking Discovery, but that's ok. I can understand how people feel, and I respect their opinion. But then again, not every Star trek show is meant to be the same. Star trek is about change, and change is never easy.
Klingon ships are unbeatable in terms of maneuverability; that's one thing this film gets incorrect, they rely on maneuvering not so much on direct firepower... in fact, the Federation, and the Romulans as well will beat them every time in a face-to-face duke-out toe-to-toe slugging match, but none can beat the Klingons in a turning gunfight.
@@chissstardestroyer while yes the kningons like making maneuverable ships such as the klingon bird of prey, that is defenitely more maneuverable than most ships, you said any klingon ship, not certain classes of ships, and I really doubt that a negh'var can turn faster than a defiant class or any other small maneuverable ship. What I'm saying is that while yes klingon like and focus on making manoueverable ships, not all of their ships are really maneuverable such as the bird of prey, and other nations ships are definitely more manoueverable than some of the klingons' ships.
Ok in all fairness If this show was based in the future beyond anything that’s been covered (before Picard released of course) and the spore Drive was a new technology this would be so much cooler, just gotta fix all the mis continuities
Look in the reflection around 3:15 --> his hair looks different, assuming that's the mirror stamets? Or it's just coincedence and shot in different scenes
Imagine if you did the same with other Trek shows: Just dropped in for some clips... TNG: she's having sex with a ghost, what the hell? DS9: They're in a board game? What the hell? Voyager: So, somehow warp made them turn into lizards? What the hell? Enterprise: So the whole show took place on a holodeck? What the hell? TOS: So, there's a lot of space furballs? What the hell? Seriously? And all of those things actually happened throughout star trek. That's what happens when you base a show on random clips.
Two men telling each other I love you while in battle? A blue spinning light on a secret device on board an enemy ship. A ship that spins while navigated by a man connected to what appears to be an IV? Is this really what you consider excellence in script writing and story content America?
Okay crew turn on the strip bar lighting, power up our mushroom-fidget spinner drive and secure the connection to the closeted homosexual. Okay everyone yell on 3... "Diversity!!"
