Kids ruin everything but Stranger Things.

So true. I mean what the fuck are they trying to do? Jerk off a ghost?

Trailer looks awesome!  Am I reading the show overview correctly that the main character will be the first officer and not the Captain?  I'm just happy we get a new series.  Hopefully it will be great!

I never connected Melakon with Sevrin. However, looking back the voice makes it pretty obvious.

It's really been so long since I've seen either episode that I can't remember a great deal about them. I need to do a TOS marathon sometime in the near future.

It's a damn shame they didn't get Martin Sheen to play Sloan. Sadler does a great job and he's a great character, but every word out of his mouth you can hear in Sheen's voice and it sounds wonderful.

"The Federation needs men like you, doctor. Men of conscience. Men of principle. Men who can sleep at night... You're also the reason Section Thirty-One exists -- someone has to protect men like you from a universe that doesn't share your sense of right and wrong."

Even reading it you can hear it in that voice.

New trailer for STD-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWnYtyNKPsA

Oh boy. So it's been revealed the main girl was raised by Sarek and Amanda. Harry Mudd is looking like the JJ universe equivalent of Harry Mudd, ie. unrecognizable in any way. The USS Shenzou looks like it's from First Contact (it's basically the Akira). They appear to have Star Wars air lock shields in their hangar bays. The Klingons are also unrecognizable in any way.

STD is a fitting acronym for this show, because it looks like full blown AIDS.

You're mad!

What gave it away?

Dammit Blob! You're supposed to say "I'm Mudd"

[BlobVanDam]

I'm sorry, I ruined the whole setup.



Just like this awful, awful series has.

[abydos]

After the abysmal "trailer" for the new Stargate "show" we get this? Jesus, are they deliberately trying to shit on all things good about scifi tvshows?

[BlobVanDam]

Come on, let's not be too hard on the intern who got asked to put that Stargate trailer together the night before SDCC with only a single napkin drawing of a concept done on the plane ride over.

But I predicted this years ago! They're just following the pattern of the TNG era Trek shows. SG-1 is like TNG, regular show exploring other planets. Then you had the next spinoff that ran alongside about a group taking over another race's base near an important wormhole (DS9/Atlantis). Then after that they both had a series about a mismatched group of people who become stranded an impossibly long distance from home (VOY/SGU). So I predicted long ago that Stargate's next show would have to be a prequel that would shit all over established canon to line up with ENT. Which I guess means after this, they'll have to finally go ahead with those planned reboots.

MGM gives even less of a shit about the franchise and fanbase than CBS does, sadly.

[Adami]

THERE'S A NEW STARGATE SHOW?!??!!

How did I miss this? Any info? I'm a huge SG fan.

[BlobVanDam]

There's not really much info at the moment. Here's the trailer. It's probably going to entirely disregard the series, given that MGM was planning to reboot the franchise anyway.

I was a big fan of the series, and didn't know anything about this, either. The trailer doesn't give us much to go on. Hopefully they don't shit on the shows too bad.

[abydos]

The new SG show will be a 10 episode mini web series, each 10 or so minutes long - a prequel to the original movie. It's just... to quote POTUS "SAD!".

I just don't get it. They had an amazing SG show and ended it on a cliff hanger, and also introduced some of the most fascinating questions that the SG world had ever faced (possible creator aliens) and this is what they do instead? A show that takes place in the 20's or whatever when they had to manually dial the gate by hand and had no clue what to do ever? Eh.

I've heard that they're going to finish SGU's story line in graphic novels. I have no idea if that's true, or not.

[abydos]

TBH, Universe had potential but it was a giant teen-drama in space. It only got interesting few episodes before it ended.

[Progmetty]

I'm looking forward to the amount of happiness I'll feel when STD gets canceled heh

Christ. After that I doubt I'll watch it at all. And I thought it was supposed to be in the prime universe? Everything about it is from JJ's. The difference is that while JJ's wasn't even close to ST, it had humor and a wee bit of charm. The nature of what CBS is trying to do precludes either of those. This'll be completely worthless.

And didn't they have the same hangar bay force fields in TNG on? While it's anachronistic as hell (but, new timeline!) it still seems to be STish.

[Adami]

I feel like with the new STs, be they the movies or this new show, they said to themselves "What's popular right now? Let's do that". Which ST has not really done before. They usually try to capture aspects of the cultural zeitgeist, but looking forward, not trying to catch up with everyone else.

[King Postwhore]

Any of you checking our Orville in September?

I only saw the first trailer, but wasn't terribly impressed. The one funny moment was when he was asking the guy to stand more center cause of all the dead space. That was really clever. The rest was just standard FG stuff. I dunno. I'll check it out though.

[King Postwhore]

Second trailer was just released.

[Adami]

Second trailer was just released.

I looked for it. I found the first trailer and then another like 1 minute trailer that was mostly stuff from the first. Link me maybe?

A lot of the jokes just seem really lazy. It's unfortunate since the production value looks great and it had the potential to be the next Galaxy Quest. The difference is, the humans on Galaxy Quest weren't supposed to be there, and the actual crew cared a lot. On this one it looks like the actual crew are just a bunch of lazy idiots, which isn't funny to me.

[King Postwhore]

That's what it was.  I'll wait until a see 4 or 5 episodes.   I think you k ow how bad promotion is for shows showing mostly the same crap over and over.

Totally. I usually give things a chance if I like something about it. I really didn't care for Wonder Woman's trailers but loved the movie. Even though Family Guy and American Dad's quality as basically disappeared in recent years, for some reason I actually like Seth McFarlane, so I'll give his stuff a chance just because of that.

Just like I'll give the new ST show a chance, and the new Inhumans show, besides all of them looking mediocre at best.

[King Postwhore]

It reminds me of Star Trek Beyond.  What a terrible multiple trailers but I really liked the movie.

[BlobVanDam]

The second half of the second season was great, unfortunately it was too little too late. I think with another season it would have hit the mark.

Any of you checking our Orville in September?

Hell yeah! At least we're getting one decent Trek series this year. And it has a lot more Trek cred than Discovery does, looking at the people involved so far.

At least there are some other decent spacey shows around, because it looks like both of my favourite big franchises have gone completely to shit.

[PowerSlave]

Yet, you continue to hang out with us in the DTF forum?

I wouldn't use the words lazy idiots to describe DTF. At least not both of them.

[ReaperKK]

Watched Plato's Children and Wink of an Eye. Both were fairly decent, watching Kirk slap himself was a good highlight. The Kirk/Uhura was not was what I was expecting. The sort of bumped lips together
