Yes, we can talk about STD. First, let's lay down one ground rule: You must always refer to it by the pejorative "STD" and not DISCO, DIS, DSC or even Star Trek: Discovery.
Now, let's define the typical individuals who want to eliminate discussion of STD on Yea Forums
>Primary: Butthurt /pol/ posters foaming that liberal actors are liberals.
>Secondary: Typical Trekkie contrarians who always hate what's new (until someone thing newer comes along to hate)
>Tertiary: Subset of primary, fans who were children when ENT aired and refuse to admit the two shows are incredibly similar

Both STD and Orville were fucking terrible this week. Had to re-watch "The Visitor" to cleanse my palate.

every scene with doctor binary is painful to watch.

When was LARPville not terrible?

Captain, did I ever tell you about my adopted sister Michael Burnham? When she first greeted me I retreated into my room and slammed the door in a fit of rage. In retrospect that reaction was most illogical. In time however I soon became what she affectionately referred to as her little shadow. She was the very first human to ever attend the Vulcan Learning Center, which regrettably was bombed by logic extremists. They did it to keep Vulcan human-free, you see, since fascism is the most logical form of government, as we ourselves witnessed during the time we visited the Nazi planet. She then ran away from home, into the dense forest of the barren desert of Vulcan's Forge, and got herself killed. Or at least, she would have died, had a being called the Red Angel not appeared to me. It told me her location, assuring that the timeline is forever vandalized, but we tracked her down and saved her. The Red Angel later showed me an apocalyptic vision of complete galactic destruction, but I digress.
Subsequently and out of concern for my own safety, she called me a half-breed, which devastated me to such a degree that I retreated away from her and the danger posed by the logic extremists. Yes, captain, I am aware that I have been called a half-breed on multiple occasions afterward, including by you, to no great offense, but I was sent reeling by that one instance. Most illogical that was, in retrospect. It became something of a cornerstone of my personality, which I later relayed to her, during our visit to Talos IV, which carries the penalty of death for anyone visiting it, while I was on the run from breaking out of a psychiatric ward. Despite her regret over the insult, I assured her that she was still perfect and always made the right decisions, even by accident. Michael Burnham made me the Vulcan I am today, captain. She was an amicable relative.

Netflix and CBS care, obviously. It's a big part of the reason why the show was renewed so early in the season.

A bad episode of TNG is better than a good episode of Discovery in my opinion so I might check it out. Thanks.

still needs a bit of work to be pasta.

Is it DISCO or DIS or DSC or what?

Not a tantrum. Look around. You see people wanting to discuss this show? Making memes, jokes? Speculating about new episodes?

No, of course not, that would be an Orville thread

STD ruined Star Trek for me.

Never watched but considered trying it when I heard Anson Mount was Pike, but apparently that was just for one season so now I don't care anymore.

Funny that a white actor starts getting praised and the first thing they do is get rid of him.

And neglecting to mention the visiting Vulcan ambassador isn't his father.

The Orville is Star Trek

He was fired because SMG was getting upset at his positive fan reception and demanded it.

>posting the only good character from your show who didn't even make it through season 1
embarrassing

>Funny that a white actor starts getting praised and the first thing they do is get rid of him.

The entire premise of the show is that the protagonist in the first officer and not the captain so they can write each season arc around getting a new captain you fucking retard

Is it actually much better now or is it all marketing?
I have watched since episode 3 of season 1

It’s even worse

Some is a lot better but some is worse. Instead of being mediocre it now has high highs and low lows.

so I just watched episode 10 of STD
>tilly still being cringe inducing with her "personality" and quips
>the random LGBT discussion in the spore lab
>burnham getting all emotional all the time
why can't we get something like ep2 again? That one gave me hope the season was actually going in a more classic star trek direction but it degenerated immediately again after

>I like to invent shit

Because it’s not Star Trek. It’s legally mandated 25% different

>We have a 100% match, the Red Angel is Michael Burnham

>Michael flips out and starts punching the dude in righteuous fury
>ignoring the fact that her bad call started the Klingon War and killed millions

If everyone who lost family in the Klingon War wanted to punch Michael in the face the resulting queue would span two starsystems

It's better but it is more shot like a movie. You'll see people ranting about it who never saw it. Watch

Why did Burnham start the war?

Pike in "The Cage/The Menagerie"
>Captain, there's a broken down space craft that might have survivors. Clear to go check?

I wanna see Detmer eat out Olatudine

STD IS CANCELLED, THIS TIME FOR REAL GUYS I SWEAR!

to be fair, section 31 mans call wasn't really bad as it was sacrificing people for selfish gain, burnhams call was more for the good of starfleet

>I like to invent shit

How did she cause the Klingon War? I watched season 1 and I can't remember a single thing about it

>I like to invent shit

It doesnt matter. Shes always gonna win and teach everyone the value of friendship and what it means to be in starfleet.

How did I invent that? I just watched both.

>hasn't actually watched an episode
>just reads recaps

Why did she start the war?

Beamed over to the Klingon ship with Georgiou, got mad when Georgiou got shanked, set her phaser to kill during what was supposed to be a capture mission and plasted the Klingon Prophet guy, turning him into a martyr.

She steps on a sacred empty husk storage unit.

Because she hates Klingons.

What the FUCK are you talking about?

No dumbass, that's part of the show, but it's not why she started the war. It's explained in the very first episode, but you have TO ACTUALLY WATCH THE SHOW.

It's not going to be any any half assed recaps or wikipedia pages.

Orvillecucks literally cannot stop seething

Why else would they fire the best thing about their show

>111876619
She didn’t. She killed the Klingon torchbearer, but this wasn’t really provocation to the Klingons since they were gunning for a fight anyway. She tried to do a mutiny to fire first, but was unsuccessful so she didn’t start the war that way. She did kill T’Kuvma but the war was happening with or without him.

It’s just a plot detail that wasn’t thought through like every other one.

Pike was angry that he and the Enterprise were ordered to stay away during the war. The two situations are totally different. Plus, having the admiral tell him he was told to stay away because if the Federation lost, the best of us would still be alive to carry on our ideas.

It might not be perfect, I certainly don't think it is, but at least it's trying a new take on Star Trek.

This place is gonna be so much fun when FOX finally pulls the plug on that LARP shit

Yeah I dropped the entire show at that point

Boom someone watched the show.

>It's not going to be any any half assed recaps or wikipedia pages
Why? This outta be rich.

Fact is, CBS is scared of the power ME, Nerdrotic, Doomcock, Egotastic and channels within their group. Not only is their excellent reporting exposing their corporate lies but they’re helping fans who’ve been fucked over by their shitty shenanigans, like Anas Abdin who is winning his lawsuit against STD ripping off his indie game, and helping Axanar’s Alec Peters produce a feature that will be better than anything STD related

How did episode 2 even happen considering the rest of the season

>man racist misogynists on the internet are saying in a mocking way that Michael is probably the Red Angel, but we've written that Michael IS the Red Angel! How can we get around this so that we don't prove the manbabies right but we still have the Red Angel be a strong fierce smart woman of colour directly related to Michael Burnham?!
And so, we find ourselves, where we currently are
Owosekun would have been a better choice, unironically

Who the fuck is Owesekun

read
She didn't start the war. The name of the first episode is "the vulcan hello". It's because the klingons kept warring with the vulcans and it wasn't until the vulcans fired back was there peace.

So all your dumbshit ranting for weeks, is just embarrassing. The title of the first fucking episode proves your a jackass. lol

That really doesn't change anything, especially when that was not explained at all as the reason in the episode. It literally comes off as "Pike gets mad, Michael talks down to him and has a solution." Honestly, you writing that gave more thought into that interaction then the actual episode did.

Besides, ordered to stay away or not, it goes against Pike's nature from what's been established.

Black lady who works on the bridge
I don't think she's had any lines in the show but Pike refers to her a lot

Doesn't answer my question and in fact by being a recap of the episode proves your own point as false. Simply brilliant strategy you got there.

You mean Michael?

What if you're none of those and just recognie STD as being another shitty modern reboot created by an increasingly inept Hollwyood featuring boring politically cast characters in lame stories that shit on the original series in spite of the fact the only reason they have jobs is because of said series?

Perhaps it has not occured that this thread is not just you arguing with one other person? & are my only posts to /trek/ in days. Tripfaggots wore out my patience.
So, instead of shifting the goalposts left and right, how about you you address my actual points? Or is moving on to non sequitors your next tactic?

I'm not sure you really understand the spirit of the obi-wan maymay

Because one is a bad fan fiction that pretends to be Star Trek, and the other is a bad fan fiction that IS Star Trek.

And yet The Orville has 10x the viewership easily

>People will defend this

So why the fuck would they want to capture the Red Angel? It's only doing good, don't these retards realize that by doing that then she won't be able to save their asses anymore?

That's my point.

They mention it in a one-off line in the current ep. Something about punching the holes int time allowing CONTROL to sneak through one and thus get to the future where it can get the tech to wipe out everything (yes, its stupid as shit on multiple levels and opens up far more issues than it solves).

Because nobody writing this show has any forethought or planning more advanced than "this will be a twist". There are no ideas for clever concepts or interesting dilemmas. The Trekkian dialogues of the past about important issues are gone. Instead it's been replaced by a hollow mystery that nobody cares about

Season 2 has almost entirely focused on Section 31, to the point where they are now the main antagonist as their AI is going to be the baddy.

Also Section 31 are getting their own spinoff show with Michelle Yeoh, because everyone loved them so much (they didn't) on a show everyone watched (nobody did)

Jesus christ this could be potentially the worst show ever produced.

>ME, Nerdrotic, Doomcock, Egotastic
CBS is afraid of three YouTube channels with a combined subscriber base of less than 200K and a porn site?

Who is the Red Herring?

Is it wrong that I like star trek (outside of nutrek flicks) watched a bit of STD and then just got bored/disgusted and just stopped caring? Like I'm not even interested in it to see how bad it gets (or potentially good). I give the Orville that chance but my patience wears thin.

I will not be watching that absolute shite. I’ll watch everything Star Trek but a section 31 show is the absolute in canon antithesis of Trek.

>catching up on the last two episodes of std
>robot lady is being taken over by the flashing dots
>"what's this augment do, let you breath?"

Why couldn't they have just teleported her onto the ship with the entire security team waiting for her and subdued her? Did they forget about teleporters? Why is the writing so SHIT?

They've influenced the online conversation to an insane degree. If you go on twitter, their reporting about STD not legally being Star Trek but 25% different is pervasive. Their memes and reviews attract a lot of attention. Mecharandom42 also helps, but she's a literal screeching harpy from hell, so she's not quite as effective.

No but it's fun, see, because Michelle Yeoh is playing the main character, a genocidal empress of an alternate universe where she would wipe out races out of existence for saying her eyeshadow was poorly considered.

Mad props to this show, they got a lot of fucking balls

So it's a entire show about the terran empire?

Fun

this is why I just make my own threads when I want to talk about star trek
generals are cancer

They were scared enough of a low budget crowdfunded fan film and other projects surrounding it.

No, she's just in control of Section 31 in the Trek universe, so it'll just be canon breaking and terrible.

Exactly. They were scared of Axanar, that its quality would be so good that nobody would want to watch normal Star Trek movies.

It wasn't because Alec Peters took millions of dollars in Kickstarter money to make a film for an IP he didn't have the rights to, and didn't even have the decency to make it a not-for-profit enterprise. He used that money to make a film studio to turn around commercial projects, while also selling his own Trek merch (including coffee for some reason).

Prelude to Axanar was dope, but Peters is a fool and brought the lawsuit on himself.

just as bad as any other mass replier

Anyone else notice that ME has been radio silent for almost a week and hasn't come out with anything ST related in over 2 weeks?

Paramount shut down Axanar, not CBS.

They literally just posted a review shitting on The Red Angel.

As much as Alec Peters actions in the marketing realm were indefensible, they knew very well that fans wanted something within or close to the style of The Original Series that Axanar portrayed. Bringing some of the stories or settings from FASA onto a larger screen would also be a popular decision.

Having them endorse these projects would not be good business for them either because it would show to the public that 'amateurs' can do it better at home or in a warehouse better than multi billion dollar corporations with all the funding in the world from their peers. And as such they canned all these possible projects with these draconian guidelines for fan media.

They thought they could make it without the core audience that has stuck around for 50 years, but Star Trek Beyond proved them wrong.

It was a joint lawsuit.

Alec Peters DID endorse STD, though. Read his blog.

link?

>pretends to be too stupid to google "midnight's edge"

Shilling only works when it's less obvious, breh

Why would an eye scanner thing even be capable of doing something like that?

At the same time though, if you don't defend your IP when situations like Peters arise, then you'll lose your ability to defend it at all. If a dude is openly raising millions for a production based on an IP you own, and you do nothing, then that opens the gates for someone else to take even greater advantage next time and get away with it (because the courts will ask why you did nothing last time).

Paramount/CBS were happy to allow productions like Star Trek Continues and New Voyages to carry forward as long as they made it clear they were fan productions and were made available for no cost to the audience, and did not profit off the IP. Axanar forced their hand and fucked things up for everyone.

I think Paramount and CBS have good reasons for thinking they don't need their core audience. That core audience made Nemesis a bomb and barely tuned into Enterprise. Star Trek hadn't been 'cool' for a while, mostly because of the nerdy perception of its fans. Making it appeal to a broader audience made sense, even if it didn't result in a good product.

I'm literally looking at their yt page and the last upload was 6 days ago. I would have uploade a pic initially but Yea Forums is shit and I'm not paying for a pass.

The dev who is suing Star Trek gave an update, seems like CBS is fucked and doesn't know what it's doing:

>First, they argued that they did nothing wrong and that my complaint (the lawsuit) is frivolous (which the court later ruled in my favor for this part)
>Then they partially admitted access and copying but that they copied the "de minimis" (the allowable amount) and "Scènes à faire" (common scenes in a specific genre or theme).
>Then they argued (and I can't believe I'm saying this...) that what they copied has no similarities.
>And finally, they are now saying that they did not copy because we came with our ideas independently.
