Yes. STD is far worse.

Come on now. VOY gave 7 seasons of suck. DISCO has one season.

Who on STD from the main cast has as little charisma as ensign Kim?

You cannot deny the quality of the stunts and fights is like 4 times better.

At least on DISCO no actor was phonning it in.

I could go on and on....

Only seen ST via Chuck's reviews so my opinion on it probably isn't worth much, but: Yes, it looks better (silly Klingon makeup aside). But beyond that Voyager was just bland too much of the time, Discovery sounds actively bad. The stories don't sound like anything to care about and the characters have not come across as people I want to know anything more about. It sounds like another piece of fiction that's fallen into the trap of "We need to be realistic and what's realistic is everything going wrong and everyone being miserable and unpleasant." Not even I'm that pessimistic.

Doesn't that tell you something though? That after only one season people hate it more than any show before it?

Who on the STD main cast has as little charisma as Ensign Kim? Going solely by Chuck's reviews, does the cyborg woman even have a character? And personally, I would take a wooden Kim over Hollywood autism Tilly any day. I find that whenever someone makes a character that I am meant to find endearing, they come off annoying as f-.

I find stunts and fight scenes to be of little importance compared to a decent story.

Who was phoning in their performance in any of the first seasons of the other shows either? Even Chakotay was visibly trying in season 1.

How did you quantify that hate?


If it was really hated it would cancleed. TNG and VIY would get cancelled in today's more competitive tv series market.

The Cyborg chick is not a main character.


Both have some serious story problems...

So stunts do matter.

What they said. It's trying to be realistic, in today's world, in which human beings are awful, shitty creatures, justice is a lie, love is dead, and soon there's gonna be more war that kills good people and leaves the disgusting people alive. Do we really wanna see that reflected in our entertainment?

Like Firefly? Or Farscape? Or Stargate Universe?

Humans are awful compared to what magical past?

Calm down neocons are almost radio silent now.

They overshot at the end with the darkness but it was mostly okay.

Like Firefly? Oh wait...
Good shows get cancelled, i was talking about this in the general state of the market. of course there will be some irrationality within the markets and weird market failures.

Even if Slash is right, it's an indication the market has changed for the worse from where it was twenty years ago. Because TNG > STD times a billion.

TV or TV in qoutation marks got more complex in terms of plots and it has a larger place in the pop culture than it had.

More tv shows get launched so there is a bigger chance that some creators will create something great.
