What did it do that ds9 didn’t?Frustration wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 7:59 pm I'm still amazed that shows don't work out at least the outline of story arcs after Babylon 5. At the time, I thought the show would revolutionize TV science fiction forever.
It didn't.
Yeah, it would have been an alright start, I'm sure we would have gotten some dumb stuff, but at least it would have been an OK start for a new Trek series.clearspira wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 7:10 pmI will say this. If we had had PIC season 3 instead of DISCO season 1 then the Fandom Menace wouldn't have had a leg to stand on. SNW season 1, same notation.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 1:41 am Maybe so but I’m glad we got a good quality season to watch.
This is what we wanted. A follow on that seems as if it respects fans and isnt trying to be a whole new show. Star Trek "We love Micheal" did so much harm to this franchise. If STD was a TV show this franchise would have died a second time I firmly believe that. Only streaming money kept that going.
Notably my least favorite of the films. They reversed all of the things that made MCU Spider-Man distinct from "classic" Spiderman.
Its like Chuck's description of ENT season 4: it was OK. But that is a 100% improvement on what we had before.CharlesPhipps wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 1:48 am I mean, I think Season 3 of Picard wasn't very good.
It's nothing but fanservice. A gigantic Coca Cola of empty calories and fun.
But it doesn't have a candle to Season 1 that at least tried to DO something.
Have a long-term arc and contingency plans if that arc became impossible due to actor changes and so forth.
