[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15713951, member: 121775"] He took 21 minutes just to say he's butthurt that the show isn't overwhelmingly cast with white males. His rant about the Klingons was ridiculous. He apparently doesn't follow Star Trek canon closely enough to know that the only reason Klingons looked more human in the past was because the makeup technology didn't exist (or wasn't yet practical enough) to make them look like Gene Roddenberry's vision. He probably also doesn't realize that Vulcans are supposed to be green. Then again, maybe he does and gives it a pass because they've been made white. Anyway... That was less a review and more of a monologue of some douchebag voicing that he wants Hollywood to remain whitewashed. Diversity is evil, I guess. He goes on to complain about the acting without taking into consideration that the actors are still learning, creating, and becoming the characters. It takes time to build rhythm and momentum in a cast. I suppose he has forgotten how horrible the acting was in the first several episodes of pretty much ALL the Star Trek franchises. None of the TNG cast were even Trek fans. Jonathon Frakes (Cmdr Riker) had never even [i]seen[/i] an episode of Star Trek! That cast-wide ignorance is probably what made TNG such a great show. They weren't trying to emulate the Kirk crew. They paved their own path. The production crew of Discovery should do the same thing. If rightist snowflakes want to be mad and butthurt, so what? They're [i]still watching[/i], if for no reason other than to have something to complain about. They're still helping the shows view ratings, and their complaining brings [i]more[/i] attention to the show. So it's a lose-lose for them and a win-win for the show. -------- I caught the last half of last night's Orville episode. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be funny or serious. The cinematography and special effects are extremely reminiscent of TNG. The ship looks kind of weird. From the back, it looks like that Rolling Stones mouth symbol. I might try to catch up on the previous episodes on Hulu. [/QUOTE]
