KingRocketman II Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 the reviews for the first few episodes are appearing and seems it is as good as the trailers suggests. So seemingly nothing learned from Enterprise in making the first two seasons absolute shite before bucking up ideas from Season 3. What a waste..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 One day to go, and I am unnaturally excited by this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squalor Vic Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I've never watched first two seasons but I have a soft spot for Trek (Undiscovered Country is class) and TNG I always watched when I was younger. Basically, could I watch this without watching the first 2 seasons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, could I watch this without watching the first 2 seasons? There are two characters called Laris and Raffi that are introduced in season 1. Apart from that I suspect you can get by without watching the previous two seasons. I watched episode 1 today. It's okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Enjoyed that a lot. And yes @Squalor Vic you can skip right to this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Season one was fine, season two was atrocious, and episode one of season three is one of the better episodes - very much one for the TNG fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Couldn't help but notice a load of wee nods to The Wrath of Khan throughout. Music, titles, shuttle approaching the ship in space dock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 TNG has had more farewells than Frank Sinatra, but none have ever felt quite right. Certainly not the abomination that was Star Trek nemesis. This feels a bit more like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Episode 2 was a bit slower, but more light shed on the storyline. Still a fair bit of mystery regarding the baddies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm absolutely positive they used the same sound effect for her appearing on the bridge screen that was used in Undiscovered Country.

A really nerd would point out that the Ferengi character has two vowels in his name when normally they only have one. Oh. Fun Fact. Ferengi is the Hindi word for Foreigner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a fair bit of mystery regarding the baddies. of course will all be linked together but if they could dispense with the Raffi character and story line, I would be v v happy with the season so far. I like Plummer as the villain but am a bit worried (and I don't think I am throwing in any spoilers here) with two other villains to follow that they over-crowd the space. One of the yet to be seen villains I am really looking forward to seeing; the other has been done to death and normally bores me shitless.... Fun fact when at it. Christopher Plummer and Shatner were two young and upcoming actors in Canada at one point with Shatner his under-study in a Shakespeare production in Montreal. Shared the screen memorably of course in Star Trek VI which contained Shakespeare vibes. Linking past to present, in TOS and particularly the TOS movies and then on to TNG, I really enjoy the Sherlock Holmes thread woven throughout..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give me more Picard etc. There's a good podcast on VI from the cine-files. Worth a listen, it's from a couple years back but they put it out again when David Warner passed away. That's where I've heard that Story about Shatner and Plummer I'm sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I've heard that Story about Shatner and Plummer I'm sure Episode 3 same pattern for me - old characters great and really light up the screen; new main characters in the form of Raffi and Jack - very annoying. The latter having real Scrappy Doo vibes as is often the case when a young, gutsy protagonist is introduced that we are all supposed to be rooting for. The opposite for me. Picard getting ordered off the bridge at the end for SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER seemed to be laid on quite thick in the build up to that. All in all, as a TNG series, it is still v good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Only seem the first two so far and it's a 6.5/10 for me. Not convinced by the villain, don't like Jack, don't mind the Raffi stuff but it's been done before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
