I thought I posted a trailer the other day in this thread but whatever.
Here's a new trailer for "Short Treks". This one is for the first episode. As you can see, it's very original…

I swear, I hate Discovery for so many reasons.
The characters are one-dimensional and it seems to me that these companies are only using this whole feminism/social justice thing to try to catch that fabled "New Demographic" to sell crap to. Not to mention also using it as a excuse to write badly written stories and using nepotism to hire bad writers that haven't even written any sci-fi or even know about Star Trek.
I also have a feeling that CBS and many of the directors and CEOs don't want to admit that Discovery is a failure, because if they did, they would be out of a job. This has everything to do with ego and narcissism.
And I myself am a left-winger, a more old-school labor left-winger. So that is really saying something about nuTrek.
This is why Copyright needs to be reformed or completely torn up and everything put in the public domain.
If only Gene had the foresight to put in a clause to have Star Trek released into in the Public Domain 10 years after his death, we wouldn't even have Discovery to worry about.
Hell, I could have written a better Star Trek show, even like a Klingon Mini-Series dealing with the politics of the High Council and the Houses.

Gene being a commie is a meme. The guy added a chorus over the TOS main theme so he would earn the same rights as the composer.

The first season of STD was a huge failure but since it's the main appeal of the streaming service they couldn't cancel it after the first season, not because of narcissism but because it would've been a bad PR decision. That's also why they refuse to reveal the numbers of subscribers.

This is why I said that Copyright had become such a bloated Mess, that it needs to be reformed back to it's original 27 years. And Many works to be grandfathered into the public domain.
Not to mention that I have always felt that SJWs are nothing but the unwitting useful idiots of corporations and the SJWs simply haven't gotten the clue that many of their fights and identities and ideas have essentially become co-opted and commodified by big corporations.
They simply got turned into yet another gullible demographic to sell crap to and they don't realize that are simply being used by corporations and once their time in the sun is over these companies will just toss them aside like yesterday's news.

it seems like CBS is trying to make old Trek forgotten and make everyone pay attention to their new badly-written Trek.
This has everything to do with corporations simply driving something into the ground as a chance to try to make more profits with shoehorning in identity politics and other "hip with the kids" crap at the expense of things like good writing, good characterization and fun adventures.

Here's a secret: So are you. The largest corporations will benefit the most from increased regulations, even moreso when they're the ones writing them. There's a reason so many CEOs become "corporate liberals," and they're only too happy that you're fighting their battles for them.

Nah, fuck that shit. Copyright and patents, need to be four years, non-transferrable, registered to whoever did the actual work. Trademarks last only as long as they're in actual use, after which it's fair game. Anything more than that is corporate protectionism.

Not a surprise, seeing how most of them are a bunch of bourgeoisie trust-fund kids.
Getting back to trek,
I really think that these big corporations are only using identity politics as a way to excuse bad writing and lazy creativity.

Why did they not get half-way decent actors for this show? This is fucking pathetic. It's making the worst of Terry Farrell look good. And there's nothing in that scene aside from a mention of dilithium crystals that make me even suspect it is in some way related to the Trek franchise. From TOS through ENT, you still had a certain style that they managed to uphold. And I know Berman wasn't the best writer or got along with several of his main actors, but at least he got that style.
And why the fuck is everything so fucking BLUE? It looks like shit, it makes your actors look like garbage and it reeks of nu-sci-fi.

I forgot to add that the alien girl's planet is rich on dilithium, that they've recently discovered the warp technology but she has invented the tech to re-grow the crystals because she doesn't want her people to use the planet resources (even Rian Johnson wouldn't write that shit).
A few minutes before the end of the episode, she tells Tilly that she is a princess and the reason she ran away from her homeworld is because she's supposed to be the new queen.
This is [current year] Trek.

>bitches about them having suddenly having easy access to universal translators
What? Does he want them to go back to the god awful first season shit where the actors are too busy trying to remember the made up gibberish they're suppose to spit out to actually try to act out their characters worth a shit?
STD made the attempt at realism by having the aliens almost exclusively talk in their own language, and Beyond tried having a more realistic universal translator that actually talked over a person's actual speech. Those both turned out to suck balls and dragged scenes down. Just accept that you need bullshit magic translators that everyone can carry for the show to work even if it breaks some fragile patchwork canon and move on. STD has enough problems to bitch about without complaining about long standing story contrivances that necessary for a trek to even function.

It's not an unreasonable expectation for an autist and fan. The problem with the Klingorcs were multifold, but one of the only things they actually did right were using the Klingon language extensively. Unfortunately, the utter retards snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by doing the hard-coded subtitles in an all-caps stylized serif font, making it tedious to read. Not sure if they ever fixed it. I gave up on the show during the mid-season break. Would seem like a trivial thing to remedy, though. Beyond that, the problem with the acting was the makeup which hinders emotional expression, not the dialogue. Acting is emotionally-rooted. Many of them see selling bad dialogue as a fun challenge. Some don't even know what the hell the backstory is or what they're characters are doing there. They're just given the script and some direction and just go from there without really understanding anything more broadly.
Universal translators are a lampshade on what really just boils down to suspension of disbelief… which everyone does and is not a big deal. The problem is when they shift back and forth. Then it tends to register and you risk breaking suspension. They should have had them do the authentic Klingon one scene and then have them switch over for most of their lines like Trek traditionally has done, or just had them stick with Klingon completely unless they were speaking English to a human, going for a more realistic approach and dropping the universal translator with the Klingons.

i don't mind this guy's persona when he's doing videos, which i assume are scripted, but he's gotta drop the act when he's doing unscripted shit like roundtable discussions and skype shit with other people. He's not that good at improv. Is he in the witness protection program or something? It's cringe as fuck.

This 'red angel' nonsense is going to be some kind of massive temporal anomaly, or since this season is supposedly about faith vs science, some unknowable higher cosmic power that the show will pretend is a progressive and ballsy inclusion. Starfleet wants to study it, Section 31 wants to steal it. It's also going to be their vehicle to shoehorn this god awful travesty into the prime timeline with some hand-wavey bullshit.
Also along the way, hobo Spock will have his fractured male mind saved by his extra-special half-sister that he never talked about in over 50 years of Trek. Hopefully she'll sacrifice herself to restore proper order to the timeline, erasing herself from existence in the process.

Admittedly, I only watched the first half of season 1, but off the top of my head there's only one bitch on that show I could be bothered to celebrate Victory Over Women day this weekend by sexually assaulting, and it'd be that blonde sloot on the bridge.
Figures they would force her spend nearly all of the show maimed, with an undercut and weird ass borg implants on her face (presumably because she got half her head destroyed off-screen in the pilot). My theory is that having a pretty caucasian girl that's maimed on the show is some weird symbolic shit meant to microaggress against whitey.
7.5/10 would be her rapist.
