TV/Movies Megathread

Ugh, those Klingons. 

They should have gone with an anthology format.  I think it would have been fantastic with the ST universe, and they could then bounce around all over the timeline, and far more opportunities for different ships/crews/characters/stories.  Save the expense on a popular actor/cast clinging on for multiple seasons, while still being able to bring popular ones back on occasion as appropriate.

But Abrams' fucking with the universe blew that all to hell and gone anyway.

Nah - anthologies, like prequels, suck.  YOu don't get a chance to get invested in the characters.

True Detectives.

If you aren't already invested in your characters after 10 hours of stories then you aren't losing much by switching them.

ugh Voyager. Even Enterprise I could kind of get into in a "there's nothing else on" sort of way, but Voyager was the worst.

I'm not sure I ever watched a full episode of either.

[celedhring]

I watched the pilot of Voyager when it came out in Spain and never came back to it. Now that I think of it, that's actually the last Trek TV I ever watched.

EDIT: I lie, now that I remember I caught a couple of episodes later on.

What an original conversation.

What an original conversation.

Like a holodeck episode.

I actually thought the premise of Voyager was really good/cool, but the execution was bad.

The execution was beyond bad.

What an original conversation.

Not our fault you like a bad show

And it isn't my fault we're having this infinite loop of moaning about Voyager.

We were talking about a pontential (and likely) bad new Star Trek show, it's only natural to talk about a past one.

Saw that Ice Pirates was on TCM this morning. Since I had never seen it, decided to try it. After 15 minutes, I felt ill and turned that stupid shit off.

Christ.

Yeah, welcome to The 1980s: The Reality

Bring back Hardcastle & McCormack.

Ocean Pacific corduroy shorts.  Ooh, is that Van Halen's new album?

MAH VANS.

Rogue One.

It was OK, could have been a good film for me, but the Lucas inspired leaden dialogue dragged it down.

Also what was with the heavily telegraphed VietnamWar-like scenes?
