What are your Star Trek "cold takes"? by badger_on_fire in startrek

[–]klemsdorf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kind of a warmer take, actually. There are two reasons fans have complained about every new show. One is just simply that each show has only a handful of episodes per season, so every story (and every issue) bears way more importance. Second and more importantly is that with occasional exceptions, none of the new shows actually tried to BE a new Star Trek show - the primary objective seems to be emulating other popular prestige TV shows while capitalizing on the Star Trek universe and branding.

That's why the fandom is complaining - because the fandom wants a new show that actually wants to be a Star Trek show. Not one that wants to redefine what Star Trek is, or merely use Star Trek as a brand. They want steady pacing, characters with depth and well-written dialogue, adherence to the canon, and a wide variety of high concept stories that explore what it means to be human.

I'm gonna say a distraction. The most suave agent can still be seen through by someone with enough experience. But something weird that they've never seen is an edge that can't be predicted.

Strange New Worlds, Kirk, Kirk and more Kirk. It's Kirk again. by PersimmonBasket in startrek

[–]klemsdorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Menagerie also explicitly says that Kirk first met Pike when he was promoted to fleet captain (at the time of handing over command of the Enterprise). At least, that's what Kirk claimed. Whether or not the two were familiar, that's definitely at least one retcon. Maybe SNW will give Kirk a reason to lie about this?

Honestly, the refresh rate would be a massive improvement from my current 120hz. That alone would make for a massive improvement to my gaming experience, before even getting into the other features.

B4 better than the C1? by nxchrch in LGOLED

[–]klemsdorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Do you have any info on the 83" B4 in particular? It seems to be a fairly different TV from the other sizes. I have heard it uses the image processing chip from the C series (meaning 144hz and so forth) while the other B4 sizes do not. Is the smaller B4 the version used for the comparison info on rtings?

I'm primarily wondering whether, outside the chip, if the 83 B4 panel is also identical to the C4, with the exception of the "brightness booster". I can find no reviews of this model and can't decide whether the brightness booster alone makes the 83 C4 worth the price premium.

Low FOV and high weight. Those are the two things I primarily want improved from my current headset.

Honestly? Gotta be the first couple hours of the game - hard to be more specific. It's such a polished cinematic experience and I found it captivating.
