Star Trek: Discovery S3E12 “There Is A Tide…”
I haven’t actually watched the new show or anything (no untagged spoilers in this thread, please), but this is the general vibe that I get from reading comments from people who have.
Star Trek: Discovery S3E12 “There Is A Tide…”
I haven’t actually watched the new show or anything (no untagged spoilers in this thread, please), but this is the general vibe that I get from reading comments from people who have.
I feel there was a targeted campaign against this show before it even came out. So many videos appearing in my algorithm saying how bad it was and how it’s doomed and how it’s failed etc.
I’ve already found it better than Discovery. And it’s not as bad as I was expecting. It’s still fast paced and wish it would slow down a little, and if the camera could stay still for more than 1 second that would be great.
But besides that, is decent.
It’s fun and the chancellor is sweary Miss Frizzle with Elastigirl’s voice.
STD isn’t exactly a high bar. I’ve seen terrible series that were better than STD, so essentially what you’re telling me, this is still a terrible series.
There’s a targeted campaign against every new Trek series.
From the very beginning. People back in the day were complaining that not only was this Patrick Stewart some poncy theatre bloke instead of someone with real television experience, but he was bald, for goodness sakes.
Except that they were correct at being skeptical, and season 1 TNG was crap. Huge improvement came already in season 2, and people started liking it.
How many series has NuTrek had? How many total seasons? Yeah, it’s still complete garbage to this day.
Though it wasn’t bad because Patrick Stewart was a theatre actor, nor because he was bald. The issues tended to be more with Roddenberry’s rules against having interpersonal conflict amongst the crew, or scripts that weren’t very good/not written with the TNG crew in mind.
That is a matter of personal opinion, though. People clearly like it enough that we got multiple shows in the current run, rather than it being put away and forgotten about.
No, it’s a matter of standards.
LOL I didn’t mention NuTrek. Enterprise, for example, had a LOT of people screaming about how bad it was. It’s when I gave up on the Trek fandom - I was tired of the negativity. Like this.
Enterprise wasn’t good. That’s where a lot of problems started. However, in comparison to NuTrek, it’s significantly better still.
Those videos really exploded in my feed about a week before it came out, and none of them has seen it yet. I don’t know if it’s coordinated or if it’s just the inevitable response of the algorithm rewarding topical hate mongering, but it’s a painfully obvious grift either way.
People having standards = grifting. Right.
People with standards wait to see a show before they judge it.
Yeah I went to watch one as its title and thumb seemed definitive like they had watched the previews or something. Started watching and it was clear they had not seen anything besides stills.
