Anybody else watch the new Star Trek?

[Machdup1]

I saw an interview with one of the cast and it sounded like a social engineering project. I was not interested in giving it a shot after that.

You realize that the original ST and all that followed were social engineering projects, right?

I'd give my left nut for another season of Babylon 5 with modern effects.

To many white people to get green lighted these days.

 

[PhoenixM3]

Tough crowd here...where are you? still overseas?

Yep. Still in Italy.

Well, they had a token white Klingon, so the future looks bright.....

I wish the new Battlestar Galactica was still on the air. I never watched it when it was current. I binge watched it on Netflix and hated to see it end.

I loved it too, but it got a little dumb at the end....

Yep. Still in Italy.

Kinda figured you were, since you were able to watch it on Netflix. Was glad to see your cars survived the flooding here!

 

[RDJ]

Jeez, I watched it on Netflix here. I thought it was decent.

yeah it ain't on Netflix in the states

B5 was always meant to be a 5 seasons and done show. I would like to see a prequel dealing with the first shadow war with modern effects

As far as the new Star Trek goes I watched one show and it was just ok. I might have gotten a little more enthused if I didn't have to subscribe to a shitty streaming pay service for a single show in their line up. And the Klingons just sucked ass. their make up was shitty, their looks were shitty and their voices were shitty.

on a lighter note .. we had ST:TOS ST:TNG DS9 and now we have (drum roll please) STD! so it certainly lived up to it's acronym

^^^I liked me some DS9, wish they would re-master for HD 16:9 aspect ratio from the 35mm negatives. We are probably forever stuck with the shitty scanned down to video versions that aired.

I wonder if he has ever watched Star Trek.

 

[SID297]

DS9 is still my favorite.

 

[03Sssnake]

DS9 is still my favorite.

DS9 is mine too. That series seemed to have the most action and I loved the cast.

For me it was The Next Generation that I loved. I remember when Star Trek 4 came out and they were advertising for TNG. sir Patrick Stewart is just about as good as William Shatner as far as captains go.

I think Patrick Stewart is a much better actor and definitely a better captain!

They planned 5 to start. The story line could have run another 5 seasons easily.

Definetly a better actor all around. Shatner played the part so well though....and he was fly by the seat of his pants.

Who would you rather provide a security detail for on an away mission

 

[Weather Man]

I'm surprised Stewart hasn't done another star trek movie.

While it is probably true they could have, it was always 5 and done. JMS said it was a five year run with no option for additional seasons

I've tried terrible to like Star Trek but it's never been able to stick.

Star Wars, GOTG, and all of the other galactic adventures just grab my attention too much I guess.

Don't hate me

 

[Sinister04L]

Honestly it wasn't bad fellas, great action, the effects are spectacular for a TV show, like cinema quality. Think CBS is making a mistake with the streaming part though, after the premier its going to be exclusive to CBS access|app. International customers can view via Netflix, but not US customers which is real shitty of CBS. There are of course other less legal means to get it.


EDIT: I think they threw out comments like social engineering etc.. to placate the SJW crowd. I was a little worried it was going to suck, but it did not, they at least have not mucked up the premier.

Indeed.
