Fuck, I wish this actually would be Nemesis: The Show

You can't compare it, really.
While nemesis might have derped on the art direction a little but it still was trek.
It was made as a pretty generic action movie and the script was just stupid enough. But it's fun to watch if you do it only once.

This turd not only constantly insults canon by denying the federation's utopic vison it's also boring as fuck because the meat of the show is nostalgia milking along with some padding to explain said milking to the casual viewer.
That's not even enough because of they felt it necessary to include some sort of "backstory" sequences to graft the "generic crapsack cyberpunk dystopia" setting Kurtzman wants onto canon.
This leaves only something like 5% of the time to show an actual story and why it's so boring.

Everything I heard about this show sounds like it fucking sucks, which is too bad. I was looking forward to it.

Not to doompost but OG Star Trek is really fucking dead, I get that no one is optimistic for anything anymore and kind of rightly so but this still fucking sucks.

also goddamn I haven't been here in a long time and I honestly missed you guys.

There was definitely a lot of comedy in S1 and a fair bit in S2 but he did more or less claim he really turned up the generic sitcom humour in the first few episodes just to get it funded. I found the later S1 humour to be pretty enjoyable.
>>69773
American Dad was plenty funny from about S2 to S9. Then again apparently he had less influence on the writing and mostly just did voice acting.

>religion is totally 100% bad and irreemable with no redeeming charachterstics of any kind what so ever.
>There is no discussion fo the possible sociological benefits of religion
In terms of organised religion he's not wrong, assuming you have a population that's good enough at critical thinking to not simply adopt something else as a pseudo-religion (see: how people treat certain brands of extreme politics nowadays). The sociological benefits you gain from it can be replicated by having a population able to come up with its own morality which, assuming Trek levels of education, is pretty easily achievable.
>Not just DS9 with all the Bajoran mumbojumbo, but TOS and Voy managed it, and even TNG did it.
DS9 is too sympathetic to religion, and TNG has the episode where Picard accidentally becomes a god and he outright says that not having a religion is a cultural achievement. I'm not sure what TOS episode I'd say was nuanced in that regard though there are enjoyable episodes like the Greek gods turning out to be aliens which does explore the idea of religion having a basis in fact.

>Like, the episode where Kelly inadvertently starts being worshipped as a god and religion is portrayed simply as some Gibbonsesque interpretation of Medieval Catholicism, Borgia Popes, Inquisition and all. And then at the end of the episode they just say religion is a temporary hinderance every society goes through.
We still have religious violence and oppression in almost every country developed or otherwise. It's pretty fair to say organised religion has been and continues to be a hindrance.

Organised religion is generally a negative. Non-organised religion is mostly just a curiosity or personal indulgence.

Everytime I look at dissident right threads there’s Star Trek discussion going in. There’s the usual Dukat Did Nothing Wrong memes, but there’s also genuine analysis apolitical of stuff. So what makes Star Trek so appealing to the extreme right, despite being a communist utopia?

I liked it a lot, but I was going into it looking for Space Dallas so when it was full-on prime time soap I was cool with it.
came real close to buying some props after it was over, they had the prescription bottles for that one gal pretty affordable for a screen-used shelf-sized knick knack

That's a pretty understandable way to approach both it and BSG really. Don't treat them as SF but as drama with spaceships.

TNG/Early DS9 Gowron > Late DS9 Gowron. Granted there were hints he was playing the political game towards the end of TNG as well. In any case I prefer the way his character was portrayed originally.

>Paramount surprised Star Trek fans when they announced Noah Hawley would write and direct a new movie set in the iconic science fiction universe. This came after plans for a fourth Star Trek with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto to be directed by S.J. Clarkson fell through. Quentin Tarantino also expressed interest in making a Star Trek movie, but Hawley has the gig for now.
>Hawley was on a Television Critics Association panel for the fourth season of Fargo, coming to FX April 19. After the panel, he spoke with reporters further and addressed his Star Trek movie.
>Noah Hawley doesn’t want to make Star Trek an action movie
>When J.J. Abrams rebooted Star Trek in 2009, it opened with a massive space battle and kept the pace up throughout. His sequel and Justin Lin’s Star Trek Beyond continued Star Trek as summer tentpole movies full of action and special effects. Hawley says he intends to get back to the original essence of Gene Roddenberry’s show.
>“Star Trek is such a special story about exploration and empathy and diversity and humanity at its best and creative problem solving,” Hawley said. “It was never designed in its origins as an action series. It was always about humanity having to fit into the universe and solve problems through diplomacy and outsmarting their opponents. So I’m excited to get back to that.”

>Quark is about to make an extraordinary deal, when he finds himself in the middle of a diplomatic crisis. Grand Nagus Zek is refusing to sell one of the lost Orbs of the Prophets back to Bajor. In response, the Bajoran government cuts off all diplomatic ties with the Ferengi and outlaws all Ferengi businesses within its borders. Quark first loses his bar, and then is subsequently imprisoned. But he finds himself to be the only one who can prevent a war between his people and Bajor.
Sounds like this would have made a good episode.. much like the one that goes into Garaks backstory. Any others in the same vein, written by the actor and all that?

there's a bunch of books that have been "cowritten" by the actor and somebody who really writes it, but the iirc the Garak one was fairly unique in that it was basically a massaging of the notes the actor had put together about all the character's old experiences and stuff as opposed to just random stuff they brainstormed, so in theory that story in Stitch in Time is really what the actor was pulling from for emotional memory when Garak made an allusion to his stint as a gardener for the Romulan whoeverguy or when his claustrophobia acts up
