Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,482 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Come on, Trent. It showed some promise and kept us watching for Patrick Stewart and returning characters, but in the end, it's more or less disposable aside from the f-bomb memes. Major disappointment.

Trent B 325 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Only in YOUR opinion. While yes I still don't agree with the profanity that is used in the show but as I said I for one do not think the show failed and I like it as does my wife. Although I should have said that anyone who thinks the show failed is only OPINION not a statement of fact. There's a clear difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,041 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The finale is what cemented the themes in Star Trek. I love, love, love the moment when Soji explains their rationale for exterminating all organic life as aesult of having no choice, and Picard gives a classic Picard response: "To say you have no choice is a failure of imagination."

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,482 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The series has some good ideas and moments for sure, but it just doesn't all come together. The whole Borg thing with Seven of Nine, for instance. What was the point of her becoming the "Queen" and taking the cube to crash on the planet, only to leave and apparently join Picard's ragtag crew? Was she liberating them when they were (for some reason) already being freed from assimilation by the Romulans? I don't know. You don't know. I don't think the writers know. It was just a cool idea to them to have her take a Borg ship and arrive when Picard was in peril from space plants or whatever. There's a good idea in there. Seven of Nine liberating Borg from assimilation. Certainly better than her being a space ranger or whatever. It's not the way it played out, though!

Nick Parker 3,041 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 My introduction to Star Trek was relatively late compared to many of you. A friend introduced me to Next Generation in 2013, and my memories of starting the show as an adult are pretty fresh. I watched each episode with excitement and anticipation. Why? It wasn't because each episode was a masterwork of storytelling and philosophy...no, it was the opposite in many cases. I kept watching because I kept seeing potential in the characters and ideas; in other words, the show earnt my trust, propelling me until I got to the really good stuff that happened later. This show has earnt my trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,099 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I think Star Trek has hit its new 'Enterprise' moment where it has nothing new to say or offer, a relative dark patch, much like Doctor Who's late 80's-2005 period. The next show must embrace the future, show us a federation in the future of TNG, not this constant retrospective back into some nostalgic past.

As I commented in the other thread, I ended up getting LLL's lavish releases of TNG/DS9/Voyager/Enterprise music and not really getting much from them. But for Discovery and Picard I've yet to acquire them, despite having actually enjoyed the music while watching the shows themselves. My only issue with Russo's music is actually his main themes which are fine themes in themselves, but feel a bit underpowered in context. The Picard main theme is a great theme for the character, but against the drama implied by the imagery in the title sequence, is far too delicate. The Discovery one just takes too long to get going - it's still in the build-up stage halfway through the credits appearing on screen so the ebb and flow relative to the graphics feels all out of joint, plus the weird build-up to the Courage fanfare at the end doesn't work and isn't nearly as effective as the TMP/TNG hint at the end of the Picard titles. greenturnedblue and Thor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,396 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 It's my current favourite, I love its pitch perfect tone. I wasn't even big on the Karate Kid movie as a kid, but this show is ideal light entertainment for me. The school brawl at the end of the second season was as thrilling as anything I saw in Game of Thrones and tbh I think Cobra Kai is low key genius. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,774 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I love it.

I can get pleasure out of an unpretentious and straightforward show like COBRA KAI one day, and then heady material like Bela Tarr's SATANTANGO or Antonioni's IL DESERTO ROSSO the next. It all makes up the spice of life! (it obviously also helps that I have a huge nostalgic connection to the original KARATE KID). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
