David Cronenberg looks fucking bored and probably wishes he was on a real Star Trek series.

For a second I thought that was Admiral Perry.

Remember when Doug Jones was acting in movies? It's been a rough couple of years.

To me it feels like Cronenberg is only there because Kurtzman saw that Favreau got Herzog to guest star

Hearing about Star Trek: Space Nigger Jesus Woman is fucking depressing. Gods how I wish we could return to the days when Trek was actually good and insightful instead of this tepid shit.

The blue filter hurts my eyes. It's supposed to represent species from all four quadrants, but I don't see any Vorta, Changelings, or Borg. Just the same Lurian, Andorians, and people with halos copied over and over.

Edit: More than likely they just took a picture, then told everyone to switch places, then took another picture.... ad infinitum.

They have this obscene budget they could use to depict some of the weirder non-humanoid aliens like the sheliak of tzenkethy and yet we get this ensemble of generic similarly built people with masks on, at least old trek had an excuse for all the "guy with forehead lumps" aliens.
It's so fascinating how Discovery manages to be so consistently creatively bankrupt in a pre-established universe with years of lore to work off and almost limitless potential for expansion.

It makes sense if you frame their behavior in a different manner. I got into a binge of Ross's Game Dungeon lately, and something he said in his Deus Ex: Human Revolution video stuck out to me. Paraphrasing, he speculated that Eidos Montreal didn't actually want to make a Deus Ex game, they wanted to make something more along the lines of Ghost in the Shell or Akira. But they had the Deus Ex license and not the others, so they made what they wanted to make and then slapped the Deus Ex label on it.

I get the same feeling from nu-Trek. These idiots don't want to make an optimistic vision of the future where we do our best to solve our problems with words and not violence; if anything, they view Star Trek as hopelessly naive and detached from reality. No, they want to make mature games TV shows for hardcore gamers TV watchers such as themselves, with all the blood, sex, violence, and swears they can handle. But, as above, they don't have the license to an existing property that would fit their refined sensibilities, but they do have Star Trek, so they make the generic sci-fi they want to make and call it Trek. And no, creating an original property is out of the question because that doesn't have the in-built audience that will guarantee their show doesn't immediately flop out of the gate.

So basically, remove the Trek branding and imagine STD or STP or anything else they plan on shitting out as Generic Edgy Sci-Fi Show, because that's all that they are. They don't know anything about Star Trek, nor do they care. All that matters is that it has a name that people recognize, which they'll apply to literally any show they want to, resemblance to anything that came before it be damned.

It does feel like the Deus Ex prequels are GitS: Standalone Complex games. Which is good because the GitS: Standalone Complex game for the PSP is absolute ass. An FPS on a PSP?!

The cinematography is really bad in this show, the overuse of the blue color (lights, color correction, etc.) makes everything soulless, sterile.
I was watching Nitpicking Nerd's review of this episode and he was talking about how weird the Cardassian woman/representative looked, like if she was part Cardassian and part Jem'Hadar, which of course doesn't make sense since the Jem'Hadar can't reproduce. I was just another shitty redesign, like the Andorians and the Ferengis.
Also it's funny that every leading position is occupied by either a woman or a gay POC.

Another interesting aspect I found was that from the long shot of all the delegates, they were all bipedal. Even the Orville had a blob alien(RIP Norm). I mean if you're going to CGI a scene, why not add some variety. Apparently everyone in the galaxy is bipedal, POC and LGB(T).
 
OK, I watched *one* ep of season 4 of STD just because I was curious on how fat Tilly is now. She's so fat that you can notice when the stuntdouble is taking over. It's hilarious.

Why don't they just admit she's fat? Aren't lefties always defending obesity

You'll regret your fatphobic rhetoric in the next episode where Tilly uses the gravitational force of her massive body to pull a dark matter super missile off its collision course with the galactic core, stopping it from destroying all sentient life in the galaxy (and every other galaxy in the multiverse)
