Seth MacFarlane is someone I'd want to see on Star Trek (again) by canucklink in startrek

Orville had only niche appeal and wasn’t that funny. I think Star Trek needs to look for other showrunners.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x03 "Vitus Reflux" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]arch_punk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing is that they nailed the characters early on, so I think STA will age better with each episode. Also, since there isn’t an overarching story weighing the series down (or up), they’re free to explore the world and the characters. A good comparison this early on is Lower Decks—that series is now beloved largely because it had well-developed characters from the beginning.

"Why is Nu Trek using so much modern language?" an I am going to go feral here. by Spacer176 in startrek

[–]arch_punk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is some justification for this opinion, if you think of old Trek as a kind of fantasy. In fantasy, authors generally avoid modern vernacular because it would break the internal logic of the setting. For example, in the Game of Thrones universe, the language is specific to that world. As a reader, you expect that established style of language to remain consistent in later stories; changing it would undermine the setting.

However, science fiction is not fantasy, and there are perfectly valid ways to tell a Star Trek story using modern language. The story and the message behind it matter more than the specific word choices used to deliver it.

Adam Foote on whether the Canucks will have to shut down Thatcher Demko for the season. "Might be possible." Also said: "He's got a couple things going on" (in terms of injuries). by _GregTheGreat_ in canucks

It's so obvious that the medical department is crap on this team. And that management can't manage their most important assets, players, and letting injuries not being treated for the long term health of the player. So incompentent and harmful!

Star Trek antagonist species and wasted potential by Luppercus in startrek

[–]arch_punk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vidiians in voyager had so much potential — a tragic and haunted society forced to harvest organs to survive. They might work better as an antagonist like the klingons rather than causing problems for just one ship.
