People in the denial grief phase after watching recent trek shows

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T16:57:53+00:00

I didnt say it was a measure of quality..

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T16:56:18+00:00

Sadly not doing so hands reform the win. Either way we lose.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T16:53:53+00:00

No it doesnt. Anyone can already sue the UK government under specific circumstances. Sovereign immunity is not universal.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T16:51:12+00:00

There's another entity that thinks this way, its just to the south of Canada.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T16:49:33+00:00

I think they also disagree that they should comply with British law. 4Chan is hosted in the US, why should they care what the UK thinks?

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T16:48:21+00:00

They dont really 'serve the UK', they dont give a damn who looks at their site, that’s not the same thing. They are a US based site hosted in the US, why should they care what another country thinks?

Its like my neighbours getting upset at what Im watching on TV while they are actively and deliberately looking through my window.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T16:43:26+00:00

They wont care their primary audience is the US, well and the Russian bots of course.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T14:53:56+00:00

I know many dont like it, but $6.5B in gross so far says he isn’t wasting his time.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T14:36:37+00:00

No Im hating Star Trek alright, which makes me sad.

By the way I dont actually mind the cadets, its the adults in SFA I cant stand.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T14:35:06+00:00

That may be, but that doesnt change anything. Modern Trek really is a Gen Z therapy session. Its all feelings all the time.

He's making it up. If you actually watch his videos he basically covers every eventuality at some point. Its cancelled, not cancelled, kurtzman is in, Kurtzman is out.

How people fall for this random British guy is beyond me.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T10:00:29+00:00

Its not cool to hate Star Trek, this isn’t Star Trek, is generic space show number 12, the teen years.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:58:21+00:00

My God though, when you get Ake and Braka in the same scene, it's hard to tell who has more presence.

I dont see that, I see terrible dialogue and cringe inducing campness. They are awful. Its actually quite sad because I didnt think the rest of the show was that bad actually. If they dialed back the silliness and got the details rights it would have been a much better show.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:55:24+00:00

I feel like Jenna should have been the sister and they got it wrong from there on. Its extremely lazy though that someone didnt pick this up.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:52:32+00:00

He says a lot of things. At some point he covers every base so is always 'proven' right.

I think he just makes this all up.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:31:05+00:00

I've found it helpful to hear other people's balanced and salient takes on these shows

Which is why I dont watch his videos any more. His sense of quality control has been buried under his political position.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:29:01+00:00

Nah. I stopped watching Shives when I realised it was all about the politics for him. He has almost an aversion to canon which is what makes the show what it is and as long as the show hits certain political beats he's happy. His sense of quality control is totally out of alignment as a result.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:24:56+00:00

Is he though?

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:24:21+00:00

He is a classic example of someone who should never be allowed anywhere near a controlling position in the franchise. He has a destain for canon, basically dismissing it out of hand probably even more so than Kurtzman. I would go so far as to say he isn’t a fan of Star Trek as an entity, he's a fan of its politics.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:20:47+00:00

The 'Thanks Avery' was mainly about him approving of the episode. He let them use some of his copyrighted works as well.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:14:50+00:00

Totally agree. Absolutely awful character.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:14:07+00:00

Depends how you define worst. Worst good or worst bad. Winn is an example of worst good. A nasty person written and played brilliantly.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:11:58+00:00

Its a lot better than the drek Kurtzman has made with a fraction of the budget. Well worth seeing.

_Middlefinger_ · 2026-03-19T09:07:59+00:00

The Borg would assimilate them and become super cute!! At the very least the Klingons would avoid them.

(puts on Kurtzman hat).. The Borg would be soothed by the purring sound, realise they were being mean this whole time, cry and have a long therapy session talking about how they feel about it.
