/strek/ - Star Trek

Go to your containment thread, faggot.

Much more pressingly: is that a diaper he's wearing, is it a jockstrap, or is his chode just that massive??

>>9091

He's just happy to see you.

>>9105

Nah, hes a try hard at best. You'll recognize this type in the army.

>Given command far far away from anyone else on a project that will at best bring him no glory or most likely a court-martial while being fed lines about being the choosen one to … whatever.

Hes a little smarter then the average bear (or at least smarter then michael) so he could turn it around but odds are slim.

I suppose STD will struggle portraying Section 31 well, or even in an interesting way. We should probably be ready for them to declare that S31 is an organisation responsible for ensuring the oppression of stronk black wimmins.

I wasn't keen on the first two episodes, and the season promo made this look like Orange Is The New Black IN SPACE. Is this series at all Trek oriented here on out?

>>9202

It's not Orange is the New Black in space, thankfully. But it's definitely not like any previous Trek series. The Orville has more of a 'classic Trek' feel, tbh.

>Lieutenant Michael, I'm Section 31

>>9202

The first two episodes are … not terrible. But then again this was their chance to get viewers hooked and all they could manage was a 'meh' heard throughout the alpha quadrant.

>>9233

I’ve only watched clips and it looks like absolute shit. It’s just whiny, horrible liberals bickering with each other.

>>9234

After watching the first four episodes now I can see what you're getting at there. The storyline is kinda meh at best (as well as throwing a massive, antimatter, spanner into the continuity - hey, we invented a propulsion system that allows us to cross the galaxy in a matter of hours, should we ever use this again?). The characters are pretty uniformly meh, although I am developing a bit of a soft spot for the nervous redhead ensign. The dialogue is shit tier beyond shit tier. The effects make no sense considering that this is supposed to happen before TOS.

All in all it's not *quite* as terrible as the run up made it look, and it can be alright if you're just looking for flashy sci fi and have no idea how humans talk to each other. I'd be amazed if this got a second series though.

Section 31 are the Intergalactic CIA

We will never have Garak putting on a mask and crashing them with no survivors.

>>9278

it's ok to run over space aliens.

>>9320

Metokur will burn in hell for mocking God's prophet.

>>9172

My impression was that he's "a hot-shit unit… like a three-star general at an army base, and he's already looking for a four."

Kind of interesting for a Trek series, where normally the captain is more the contemplative/ philosophical type (yes, even the post-Picard captains), always exercising restraint and trying to win over the enemy using moral arguments wherever possible. This is the first time we've had a captain who's like, "Not only are we gonna fuck up the Klingons real good, but we'll do it in a way that will really scare the shit out of them from now on! What's that, we're transporting an insane negress who thinks she's a Vulcan and death-pinched that annoying chink captain? She's crew now!" Previously, this type of captain would have appeared temporarily as a foil to the regular captain. It's like if you took Jellico and made him the main show captain.

You were right, it was better than expected.
