FairWeatherFan Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 It'd be easy enough to have him do a cameo. He hosts the after show after all. Maybe he doesn't want to shave again. As Wesley with a beard is weird and adult Wil Wheaton without one is weird to me now as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Decent episode but am now very tired of Brent Spiner playing various Soongs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Yon Borg Quiney is awfy devious. (I mis-read something about the Borg Queen and I've been giggling like a bairn at the thought of the Borg being teuchters. "We are the Borg. Fit like?") 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Worst one of the season so far - trips inside the mind tend to be. Got better in the final 15 minutes. Still think q is ill. Great guests - James Callis was excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I'd recently binged Voyager. So when old man Dutch from the Shield wandered in, I did wonder what's going on. Why not make things more complicated with the time police on top of everything else going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it’s not uncommon for Star Trek to use the same actors for multiple roles But I did find it interesting his name was Spoiler Agent Wells 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRocketman II Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 This exchange perfectly encapsulates where were are with Star Trek. I assume 2009 is the Abrams/Kelvin timeline launch and therefore the cut-off point for which many have stopped liking Trek. The argument appears to be that if you trash the new shows and make the argument that the theme/message take priority over plot and story-telling, it is considered that you are anti whatever that theme is and are therefore racist, homophobic, anti-trans etc. Criticism of the show-runners and writers signify the same. It is crazy. I must admit I have struggled with the new shows and stopped watching Picard a couple of episodes back. The story line with Seven and Raffi stealing the police car to get to Rios did it for me - it was pointless, boring, and so cliche led that I got angry with it (sad I know - ha). And in reading through threads on the latest episode with the exploration of Picard's mind - Jesus, am glad I gave up. For what it is worth, despite the plot holes, I have enjoyed the three movies and have great hopes for Strange New Worlds despite the shit show that has gone on up till now. I just hope SNW is a clean break from those involved in Discovery and Picard and return to the old fashioned premise where plot and story-line take priority over character story-arc/development and message. I have no problem with message driven episodes, and as many have said, TOS and TNG is renown for it. But the difference there was that they had good writers and for their time, the message was subtly inverted and not crow-barred into the narrative (though when revisted now the message is less subtle). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep inside his mind we discover he had a childhood trauma that has affected the person he is today. Oh my. And his mother was involved - indeed yes. Can they snap him out of it? Let's hope so. Yes. They do. Hooray. On with the story. The last 15 minutes was the only bit worth watching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) The idea of Star Trek characters taking a trip to the present day sounds exciting but it's always a huge let down. The woman who lost her toy boy is an annoying moron. Edited April 22, 2022 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I'm convinced they must have decided to announce series 3 being the next gen cast reunion early because they realised the next 2-3 episodes were so bad they may struggle to keep people interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It had been a bit of fun. Much needed after the last series of Discovery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you be talking about fun when the whole galaxy is in danger once again? The crew of the Discovery have a lot of responsibilities on their shoulders but nobody seems to appreciate that. Thank goodness they travelled into the future to save everyone again and again and again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
