The writers are self inserting themselves. All those quirky, awkward, super secretly special characters are them.

quote:Paramount has been doing it for years, especially with the Star Trek shows.
A lot of shows give the first episode free.
It's not a case of "it's so bad we have to give it away on YouTube." It's Paramount thinking that the first episode is good enough to draw in subscribers. They did the same with the Strange New Worlds premiere, then followed up by putting the first season on YouTube to get people to subscribe for the second and third seasons.

quote:This is such an odd take. In no universe was Liv Tyler ever an A List star. If Ian McKellen is B List, Tyler would be a C at best. Though she did have that one title role in Jersey Girl.
It was an ensemble cast and the actor/actress closest to a “star” at the time was Liv Tyler. She got a couple million, but none of the other main actors were anything other than B and C list character actors, if that.

quote:I prefer the tech of SNW's era. There's so much shite* going on with the shows set in Academy's timeline that it's a huge distraction. The Giamatti hologram conversation on board the Athena was a bit much. You miss one note of dialogue and you're wondering why the episode's villain is suddenly on the bridge.
I still prefer the style of SNW.
*flying robots, holographic touch screens, etc.
The more that I think about it, as much as SNW's writers bend the original series bible, the restraints of technology from that era keep it from going into the absurd.

We'll stay for a second episode. Didn't have time to watch it with the first.
The Doctor and his protégé are probably the best things going on this series. Expanding his role so that he's the Data of this series was a wise choice.
Giamatti as Khan/Mudd/Beetlejuice is gold.
Hunter is passable as the Captain, but her curling up in the Captain's chair like Jiminy Glick is extremely annoying.
Other than the painfully slow opening storyline, my main beefs are with the relentless subverting of expectations and so many main characters being unique. The first this, the only that, the sensitive and scientific Klingon and the Klingon/Jem'Hadar with the wry sense of humor. Seems like the writers are padding their choices in case they get more than one season.
I'd complain about the cadets having to save the ship on the first trip out, but that was a given from the start.
And I should probably hate the main cadet character but he's the most traditional Star Trek personality on the ship. Stands up for his friends, cuts corners, a young Kirk.

A reminder that Victor murdered Zira and brought about the death of Cornelius, causing the rise of the apes and the demise of the human race.

We'll give it a try. We stuck with Discovery too long and ended up coming back to Picard for the famous third season after passing on season two.

quote:• Steve
Seems to like with the belief that there will be four separate teams. One led by Steve, one led by Thor, the X Men, and Namor, Shuri, M'Baku, and Ben.
• Thor
• Xavier/Magneto
• Reed Richards
Namor made his Silver Age return in FF, Black Panther and Wakanda were introduced in the FF.
If they are going with teams, I'd guess:
• Steve: Avengers
• Thor: Guardians, Captain Marvel, assorted aliens
• Xavier/Magneto: Mutants
• Reed: FF/Wakanda/Atlanteans
Not sure where the mystics like Strange and Wanda will fit in.

re: Documentaries / Docuseries

My list of suggested comic book related documentaries:
Comic Book Confidential: A time capsule of comic history as of the late 80's, with interviews of now deceased masters and the indie artists who created underground comics.
Crumb: Award winning insight on Robert Crumb and his bizarre brothers. A deep dive in a self-proclaimed weirdo genius artist.
Dave Stevens: Drawn to Perfection: Deep dive into the perfectionist artist who created The Rocketeer and brought Bettie Page back into pop culture.
Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters: A refreshing doc about a non-tortured artist who brought the tortured Hellboy to life. A well done documentary with no added fluff.
Selling Superman: An obsessed collector leaves his hoarder filled home full of comics to his wife and sons, the eldest brother sets out to sort and sell a massive collection that includes millions of dollars in comics, including Batman #1 and Superman #1. A lot of emotion as he deals with this massive gift from a neglectful father.
Drew Friedman: Vermeer of the Borscht Belt: Celebrity favorite Drew Friedman discusses his art, his obsession with old Jewish comedians, and his life as the son of a famous writer. His good friend Gilbert Godfried steals the show.
