Just once I’d like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative

Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

    Nope. Not at all. I can’t wait for more.

    Discovery … I still can’t believe what they did to the Klingons and I have other issues but… goddamnit that show won me over in spite of itself. Will start season 3 in a while. And I liked the first two seasons of Picard I don’t care what anyone says.

    I might be alone in saying all that, idk lol

      Discovery got better as it got along, for sure. The Klingon thing is weird, but they don’t seem to acknowledge it in other Trek shows so I’m glad it’s contained at least.

      I think people were disappointed about Picard because it wasn’t what they were expecting. They were expecting S3 Picard, but instead found out that Picard became a bitter old man who abandoned Starfleet. It’s definitely the same Picard, but people were looking forward to a more friendly, happier TNG Picard.

      Then again, Discovery did to TNG Klingons what TNG did to TOS Klingons. Sure, it was explained away in a DS9 episode at some point, but it’s not the first time they decided to tape more rubber to Klingon faces and made the act weird.

        Discovery had soooo much for Klingon nerds: Hours upon hours of dialogue in Klingon, and (without actually knowing Klingon) with proper pronunciation, tons of warrior honour culture and its existential clash with federation ideals, and people are complaining about hair. Fucking hair.

        TNG didn’t redesign the Klingons, that was the The Motion Picture with subsequent small revisions through the TOS films.

      I enjoyed the first two seasons of Picard more than the third. It takes all sorts, I guess.
