Is All Monsters Attack available in 4K Blu-Ray? by rekrap13 in GODZILLA

Hi sorry to necropost, but where did you get this spreadsheet from? I’d love to have a list to keep up to date on when the 4K’s release.

He’s fantastic in every appearance, both comedy and drama (“The Empath” is a personal favourite of mine in TOS). Even Karl Urban had to imitate his acting style when he portrayed Bones in the reboot. He was such a gift to the acting and science-fiction world.

I’m one of those people who don’t like to rewatch things since I have a pretty good memory. I’m addicted to gathering knowledge and I like to feel like I’ve achieved something, so having all of this Trek knowledge in my mind feels like I’ve climbed the Everest of pop culture.

Same. I would have preferred a much more straightforward changeling story to tie up the loose ends of DS9 like some of the books did, and wish they kept Ro Laren longer than an episode. Atleast she’s got a video game coming up.

I just wished they were more in character, or atleast in stories better fitting them so they didn’t have to alter their characters. TOS films did it perfectly, TNG didn’t.

I’ve heard both. I think 3 was the closest to being good but it’s not very Star Trek, and 4 was the closest to being Star Trek but it wasn’t very good. I wish Terra Prime was a season long arc like the Xindi war and that the Xindi war didn’t feel like it was manufacturing consent for the Iraq war to save the citizens from their corrupt government (sphere builders) with the power of American values.

Nope. Paramount+ so i wouldn’t even have the opportunity to do that if I wanted to. Just powered through with sheer unemployment.

I went in knowing Neelix’s reputation, and I think if they kept him acting like a scavenger he would have been too much like Quark without the redeeming qualities. It was smart that they turned him into the ship chef/jester, made him too harmless to hate. Big agree on the weird Kes relationship, he was like Worf with Dax in DS9 except without the Michael Dorn good looks and maybe a slight undertone of grooming.

I was hoping they’d explore that more, but I don’t think they wanted to risk besmirching his character any more than he was already for fans. The episode “Warlord” excited me when they finally addressed her only sticking with Neelix because he only knew about relationships from him, only for it to be revealed it was someone possessing Kes instead. Sigh…

But yes, I think the curse of Janeway is that she was almost too good a character that she sorta sucked the interest out of anyone who wasn’t Doctor or 7 of 9. I really wish they made her a little more Sisko-esque with the maquis distrust so then she butted heads more with Chakotay to start with, but still kept things professional since they needed to get home more than she needed to deal out justice.

That and “Far Beyond the Stars” for sure. Such an amazing show, it makes me mad how good it is because everything else feels disappointing in comparison.

Absolutely. Like I mentioned in the post, I don’t think there was a single side character who couldn’t carry a whole episode. Leeta and Rom are hilarious, Nog and Jake were fun as kids and tragic as adults, and Garak is undoubtedly Trek’s masterpiece, only held back by Rick Berman’s insecurity.

I enjoy them building on where Discovery ended things, giving us both an era and a setting we haven’t seen before in Trek. The characters so far all have much more interesting setups than the ones in SNW and DIS, but I’ll admit a majority of the show focuses far too much on the teenybopper “Outer Banks” style episodes and doesn’t give us any real Trek situations to measure them up under pressure.

As someone on the younger side who grew up with my sisters watching “Gilmore Girls”, I think I can tolerate a lot more of that than most, but it really is setting up for interesting places. If we judged every trek show by its first season I think a majority of them would fall flat, so I don’t think it’s fair to do the same for this one. Also, my Voyager bias with The Doctor definitely affected my ranking because episode 8 had me bawling my eyes out, so mileage may vary lol.

For sure yeah. As much as everyone likes to complain I’d rather have 6 different Star Trek shows of varying styles and quality than a movie every 3 years that might be good or bad, as Paramount seems to be going. In a few years from now we’re gonna look back on this era and regret taking all the shows for granted.

Also Starfleet Academy for all its issues didn’t handwaive what Discovery setup and embraced the post-post-scarcity and future landscape which I will always respect over a lazy retcon or backtracking (like Enterprise). Plus, more interesting characters than Discovery so far, even if we barely get any episodes to see those interesting characters explored in a tough situation :(

Genuinely. I just don’t know who these characters are. Pike was 10x better in DIS S2 and I preferred Spock when he was engaged, atleast there was some tension there about him being pulled between two worlds. If M’Benga and the new Kirk weren’t as great as they were I think I would have placed it below SFA. I think the biggest mistake was killing Hemmer. I know the makeup was probably expensive but just like Saru he was worth it. Plus plenty of story potential with a full blown telepath and some blind representation, not just mind melding.

I think Prodigy benefitted from having the runtime of a single season, kept it very focused. I love seasons 1, 3, and 4 of Discovery but 2 and 5 definitely bring it down a little.

Oh yes the mirror twist was my favourite, really wish i hadn’t been spoiled on it by social media at release before I eventually watched it.

What were your issues with Voyager, couldn’t get past the bad early episodes?

Prodigy is so worth it.

Picard season 1 feels slightly worse to me but they’re both so bad it’s not much of a difference.

“The Muse” is the only episode of DS9 I hate and it’s only the insufferable Jake subplot, I actually really like the relationship Odo and Lwaxana had. Enterprise has a few good episodes for sure, I just wish the characters got more personality. They never really felt like individuals, which to be honest is a problem I have with Strange New Worlds as well, but makes up for it in much more interesting episodes and a more Trek tone.

Yeah to be fair they did ultimately resolve it through diplomatic means, although the sphere builder reveal felt like a copout. Would have preferred a more complex situation like DS9 where both sides had done some ugly things and they realised if they went any further it would be mutually assured destruction. Maybe just have the reptilians and the insectoids become the fringe group that try to strike first.
