The irony. You never really see how dark this show can be, until you see these moments in succession. Now I'm even more scared, going into season 3 because it's supposed to be even more daring and dark
Oh hey! You having fun? Having a good time? Good good, I’m glad! *Sucker punches you with a fist made of dark subject material* Fun times over chucklefuck. Time to get Serious.
I remember hearing Tarantino wanted to make an R-Rated Star Trek movie, and I feel like some instances in this video give a hint towards what that could have been.
Was it the part about watching a man consumed by a spider the size of a hatchback? Or the part where a child is forcibly taken away from their mother who was left to rot in what I can only guess is some form of concentration camp. (Haven’t seen the episode yet) For me it was the cave system filled with about a metric shit ton of bones. 😅
One of these was a great episode of a great series that was the intellectual sequel of another, without technically or officially being that. The other was a bad episode of a worse series that was the official sequel while disregarding most of the show’s point. Long story short, fuck Chris Chibnall and new Star Trek. Ugh.
I don’t consider it a comedy show at all. Even from the start, it was balanced with drama and comedic moments. It was never just a straight laugh fest.
I was always a little bothered by the fact that, due to the show's low budget, all these other planets have Fords and Earth business suits and so on, but these are also some of the best episodes in the show. I think about that episode where you can die based on public opinion every once in a while.
I recently just finished watching all of this show and man, as funny as this show is in some genuine and outrageous moments, it’s pretty heavy on certain subjects. The Season 3 premiere is all about a suicide and how the crew reacts to it. And don’t even get me started on Topa bro 😳👀
What's why it hooked us Star Trek fans. Not the aliens and the spaceships, but the exploration of complex issues, including ones that are uncomfortable to think about.
@@PenneySounds It’s not just all about tiny budgets, it’s the emphasis on story and character building rather than special effects and flashy sets. As a child I watched early Doctor Who and Star TOS.( When finally TOS got to the UK on the BBC that is.) It was the story and the characters that got me hooked. But, as a child of the 60s watching TV on a black and white mono set, only viewing on a colour mono set in the very late 60s, I knew no different. Mind you, the first Doctor Who film in the mid 60s in colour and on the big screen was a bit of an eye opener.😄
But why did the scientist age so much? Wasn’t the machine set to just a month? Also, that’s a gruesome way to go, to us she died in a few seconds but to her she was probably stuck there for decades, he brain not being able to send signals to her body to get her to move and such.
If you really think about it, that first scene where the (Doctor Lee I think her name was?) was killed, that time suspended bubble was 100 years on the inside and a few seconds on the outside… and if her brain was on the inside, that meant that to her, it took her 100 years to die… and that messes with me a little
The problem with that is it means she screams for 100 years. In reality, her face should have become a blur as 100 years of facial expressions happened in a matter of seconds. In the blink of an eye she would go from screaming and scared, to bored, and then to panicked, then sleeping, and eventually just a long fluctuation between absolute madness and sleep, since having your head locked in place for 100 years as a room full of frozen people stare at you would make you go insane. So maybe the fact that she didn't experience that is a small mercy that proves it was actually a quick death.
@@PenneySounds I truly hope that is the case. Because I did think of that after my comment, I realized she wouldn’t have just screamed and screamed lol. What a horrid way to die
@@PenneySounds What would really happen is her head would die almost instantly from lack of oxygen and then rot leaving an exposed skull and neck bones
Well, except for Strange New Worlds, which is trumping it quite soundly. The Orville's is straight 90's Trek start to finish. SNW has the storytelling of TOS/TNG (episodic), but overreaching story arcs, amazing visuals, great CGI, and every single character and actor is doing an amazing job. It's 90's Trek with modern effects, cinematography, and sensibilities.
It is. It's the same dreary hateful garbage as Discovery and Picard. Still going completely against the values of Star Trek. They recently did an episode about the Gorn (Who the Federation canonically shouldn't yet know about at the time they claim the show takes place), and the message of the story was that the Gorn are irredeemably evil violent monsters. Completely the opposite message of the TOS episode featuring the Gorn in which Kirk sees the Gorn as people he wished to make peace with. Same as how the Orville showed Captain Mercer making peace with the Krill. Star Trek and The Orville promote peace and understanding. Strange New Worlds promotes race-hatred.
Everybody loves the "don't take my baby" gag. Classic comedy. Almost as good as the old "strapped to a chair and tortured" routine. An absolute laugh riot.
@@PenneySounds Yes, self appointed moral guardian, Mary Whitehouse and her National Viewers And Listeners Association used to get very agitated about certain scenes in Doctor Who. But, the show’s producers used to wish for a rant from Mary Whitehouse because each rant brought more viewers to the series.🤷🏻♀️
I think it's only on Disney+ in regions that don't have Hulu, like here in Canada. Basically, if the first two seasons aren't already on D+ where you live, the new season won't be either.
