I've always complained about TNG feeling like corporate sensitivity training vidoes.

Just a few minutes in, and they already got the Prime Directive wrong.  :sleep:

It was...okay.   Definitely some serialized television, which is a good thing.  Not sure why they needed to re-imagine the Klingons yet again, but I'll give them some rope.  Some very nice production values, which is also nice.

All I can say is I am eager to see what happens next, which is about all you can say for a TV show.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Walking Dead (Fear The)

The thing I hate the most in this franchise is the inconsistencies.

So horde of zombies attacking fortified town.

1. Why not take one of those RVs and make a lot of noise in another direction

OR

2. After you kill the first two why not cover yourself in zombie blood and guts, and zombies will go away.

I had completely failed to remember that the new star trek was coming so soon. I can't wait to get home.

I watched first episode of The Orville the other day. I liked it. I don't see it continuing beyond a single series, like every American attempt at a Sci fi comedy. Especially considering how flashy it looks. But it's nice.

What American attempts at a sci fi comedy TV show are you thinking of?  None come to mind.

Movies yes, some brilliant, some lame, but no TV shows.

There was this but it was given 2 undeserved seasons.

So all shows with many seasons?

Yeah. I've no idea what Tyr was thinking of either.

Seemed fine to my limited knowledge.
