He went into space without rejoining Starfleet to, well, it was to solve a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Maybe it's 'cause I've been in a funk for the last hour or so, and watched the trailer in this period, but... I don't know, watching this trailer reminded me how much I dislike most modern television aesthetics, and only upon watching this has the worry struck that this show will be molded in that, especially if they get a Jeff Russo type to score it. I hope there's more levity in how they handle the plot and all that than the trailer lets on, because if the plot is indeed the Chosen One With the Key to the Universe, I think it will need some whimsy and romance (think the more quiet and contemplative renditions of Ilia's Theme, tonally). In other words, while yes I want the show to capture the more meditative and introspective aspects of what the concept practically has by birth, and the franchise as a whole, I _do_ also want to see a twinkle in its eye, a feeling of adventure as it hints at when it shows Picard getting with a younger crew. Also, am I the only one who thinks Data looks _really_ weird? Also also, damn Jeri Ryan is fine. DarthDementous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I share your concerns, I've said a number of times I'm sure that CBS has me very skeptical given their typically milquetoast - at best - tendencies. I would be very surprised if there's much attempt made to respect the actual roots of these characters and the franchise as a whole, so I'm just hoping for something that isn't absolutely dreadful. My reaction to Seven showing up and my wife's reaction to my reaction was basically this meme brought to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 But neither Bilbo or Frodo were the prophesied ones, or the chosen. In fact Frodo volunteered, and he wasn't the obvious choice. His is the purest form of the hero's journey arc, I feel. And I never really thought of Luke Skywalker and Neo in the same terms either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Luke doesn't even affect the outcome after the first movie and only then after Han aids him.

The Hero's Journey doesn't require a prophecy I believe. Tolkien makes it pretty clear that Frodo is supposed to bear the Ring, and that things would have gone ill otherwise.
