Ugh, those Klingons.  :yucky:

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.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

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.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

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.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

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.

Not our fault you like a bad show
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

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.

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?
