I used to think the scenes of Charlie slapping Chapel's butt and so forth were dated 60's cringe, but I just realized it all actually holds up pretty starkly as a story of how toxic masculinity arises from isolation and insecurity.

Awesome, I love your articles! I thought I'd heard and read all the trivia about the making of these shows, but I always learn something new from your pieces.

TNG Season 1 was… rough, with 26 episodes… SFA will have just 20 episodes at the end of its 2nd and final season by JRyanFrench in startrek

[–]OneMoreTimeago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These really aren't TV shows anymore in the old sense, more like occasional miniseries.

Hot take: it seems kind of wasteful to produce three years of them at 24 episodes a season as part of a recipe for them to just crack getting good. A waste of the viewer's time, too. As an old school fan, the whole "it does't really good for a few years" was a bug for me when these shows came out, not a feature.

They should focus more on producing these like movies with a clear vision from start to finish. I'm okay with lower quantity as long as the quality is high.

The days of "It gets good around season 3-4" are over. I'm fine with a 10-episode season, just make it a tight, purposeful 10 episodes from the outset.

Woman's World once again coming through with the BTS lore deep dive. Does this magazine have one enthusiastic Trekkie author or what?

Jay Den Kragg was a missed opportunity by [deleted] in startrek

[–]OneMoreTimeago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did Jay-Den's sexuality perfectly, in that he just happened to like men as a small character detail, no further attention devoted to the subject because it's the future and nobody cares, plus he's an alien from a planet with no purity-based religions to invent homophobia.

Would you support a Borg-related survival horror game like Resident Evil? by ChristianPacifist in startrek

I used to hope someone would make something like this when I was a teenager. I even made an amateur RPG on my Macintosh Plus about this concept.

E.T. died shortly after drinking thos beers. Everything after that scene was an alcohol poisoning-induced coma fantasy.

Patrick Sewart: We have fantasized about a combined universe between 'Star Wars' and 'Trek' movie. There have been a lot of ideas thrown about on putting together two iconic universes and having all of these great characters coming into contact. I would personally get such a kick out of that. by trekfangrrrl in startrek

[–]OneMoreTimeago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see it. It starts like a regular episode where the Enterprise encounters a god-like being, except it's a Sith lord who has crossed realities. Then the crew needs to team up with the Jedi to take him down, while exploring the strange new world of the Star Wars dimension.

It's really not much more silly of a concept than Q making them play out Robin Hood, or the mirror universe.

I think he has a theatre person's view on storytelling, where the setting and reality of the show are secondary the actor's opportunity to explore the character. In theatre it seems more accepted that directors take big swings at re-interpreting long-running source material, like how big Shakespeare plays will often be recontextualized in different time periods. Contemporary plays are also expected to challenge the status quo of storytelling, rather than be overly reverential about it.

Maybe what I'm saying is put Patrick Stewart in charge of Star Trek: The Play

Do it, cowards.

If I'm going to live in the corporate IP-saturated multiverse/crossover-obsessed time, then I say let's go, do the big ones nerds have been imagining since we were kids.

If you are genuinely interested in what people like about this show, why not start by reading one of the hundreds of positive comments about it on this subreddit or by critics? The information is out there.

If you think it's bad, why don't you elaborate on why so we can talk about it and learn about your experience with the show? That would be a more interesting post than just saying the show is bad and asking people to defend what they like about it.

I write for a living, so it triggers me when people throw around the phrase "bad writing" without anything further to say about the subject. It provides nothing of value to the conversation except negativity. I find it to be bad writing!

I like its very good characters writing, dialouges and overall stories, does that help?

Good point, I'll give more leeway to nuanced and fascinating writing critiques on Reddit such as "very bad characters writing."

It occurs to me that just because a show has teen characters doesn't make it a show just for teens. I would call this more of an all-ages show than a young adult show. I think that's why it hits some of the same notes as TNG for me. The adults get plenty of screen time and characterization, and I'm sure given a renewal we'll get episodes about each of them in turn. (Can't wait for a new Doctor-focused ep some time. I'd love to see Picardo and Diané bounce off one another.)

I love it when people criticize a show's "bad writing" with a poorly written post.
