looking at your name avatar can they make a star trek mini series that appeals to furries?
Yes.

You could have been talking about Kurtzman and I still would have agreed with you.

I'm not normally a violent person, but the clip of their interview where both were on screen...yeah, I got the face punching urge real bad.
Im trying to upload about 4 seconds of Wheaton from the video to archive his soy, but it won't let me. Says not a video as expected, but it's an mp4. Anyway it's gold cringe if I can find out what I'm doing wrong.
 
Rich Evans is looking fucking GOOD, goddamn.

Wonder if he got a "talk" from the doctor. The "if something doesn't change you're gonna die" talk.

Has he gotten married yet? He might be slimming down for the wedding. Either way, good for him.
 
like most people I have my own beloved media that has been raped by Modern Day
The secret is liking at least some stuff that is too old or too niche for soy fags and woke-tards to ruin. Every day I take solace in the fact that Columbo remains unraped.

I feel like he should have by now. He was talking about his impending nuptials in the Pre Rec days...

*looks over at Tolkiens works*

Riiiiiight
 
Tolkien ain't niche though none of them have read the books (hobbits don't sing about intersectional diversity, just trees and beer and roads). That's just a move they're making because LOTR routinely makes "best films to enjoy with your White bros while the world goes to shit around you" lists.

Wait until they do another Aubrey-Maturin adaptation and the crew is staffed entirely by negros and poos. At least Russell Crowe's too old to lend his skills to that abortion.
 
If an obscure '80s show like the Equalizer can get rebooted with Queen Latifiah taking the place of Edward Woodward then I don't think anything is too safe.
 
They hit the nail on the head about modern Trek. They segment it and mold it to reach every little demographic these days. Discovery is supposed to be the new flagship Trek, but Picard is just TNG 2 Electric Boogaloo. Season 1 of Picard was indeed stupid. Like really stupid. It was clear the writers sat down and said "we want to pander to the TNG guys but we can't just DO TNG again right" so we got Soji and the Romulans and Rios and all these new characters it's clear no one liked. They had the memberberries sprinkled in with MEMEBER DATA? But that was ultimately pointless.

So they completely gave in for season 2 and it's absolutely dripping with memberberries. It's embarrassing. Picard, Seven, the Borg, Q, member them?? That's why I'm a little surprised the guys are giving it a chance, it's so blatant it makes me uncomfortable. As soon as Q popped up I was done. I have almost no interest in this season whereas last season I was at least curious where it was going. Picard's mom being the borg queen would not surprise me at all.

Side note, I'm also watching Discovery season 4 and I don't blame the guys for giving up on that series. Season 1 was mildly interesting but every season since ends up being pointless. This seasons theme of emotions, grief, anger, humanity, and everyone is damaged and broken is getting old. We get it, everyone is damaged in some way, everyone is hurting, everyone needs therapy. It bangs this drum so hard. But we're in season 4 and still know almost nothing about the peripheral characters so why the fuck do I care if they suddently need to talk about their daddy issues? Simply because it's convenient to this seasons theme. I STILL struggle to remember the names of some of the bridge crew, it's that bad how paper thin these characters are. It's the Michael Burnam show with special guest star Saru. And Michael Burnam is such a terrible character to top it off. She's invincible, always right, and there are little to no repurcissions to her actions. The show keeps ominously dangling "you can't always save them all" in front of her but....she does. Every time. They never let her fail. It's getting old.

Lastly Anthony Rapp as Stamets...I can't. He can't shake the stage actor mannerisms. Too much over expression in his face, but he can only replicate like 2 emotions. Worried, and excited. Plus he always looks like he's covered in 1 inch of powder, it's gross.

It's also gay as fuck in a literal and pejorative sense. I gave it three seasons before occurring to me that I didn't enjoy any part of it. Here's a trick you can play with all the nuTrek garbage: count the times that the camera isn't fucking panning or zooming. The directors' know the show is retarded and are trying to trick you into thinking that what's on screen is thrilling because the camera is moving and there are a ton of cuts.
 
Seems like a minor nitpick compared to everything else wrong with this show, but Picard--and Stewart came from a generation--wouldn't just bring up a woman's age to her face. It's not classy nor is it faithful to the character either. So writing those lines are just terrible in every conceivable way.

Everything about Picard seems to not understand the original tone or even the world of Star Trek TNG so I'm not surprised faithful character writing is low on their list of priorities.
