/DIS/ general Star Trek Discovery

Ep4 was great

DIS

STD

It's STD, sweetie.

I'm ready to drop STD. Will I enjoy Orville?

deepest lore

>Orville
It's literally about a cuckold. It's got an entire episode on gender issues. It's like it was written by reddit.

I can't see shit

Perfect.

...

Who immediately dumped her ass.

Orville is surprisingly great. But honestly everything is better that some STD.

yeah but does it have mushroom powered wormhole drives navigated by giant killer microbe/animal hooked up to the ship's computer?
because if not, reddit got their shit together and made a better science fiction

Convince me to summon the will to watch this week's episode, /std/

I just, can't

It's basically Paul Blart: Starfleet Captain.

>this impresses the nu-male

Do it for the shitposting

So she's not a robot then. Kind of dumb not to name her species.

Reminder this isn't real trek shit

...

I can't. nothing of interest happens all episode and then they hook up the nipples of the fungoid to the warp drive

>Nu-Trek spends so much on CGI they forgot to hire writers

Be vewwy, vewwy quiet
I'm hunting tawdigwades

Orville is a lot more fun

Men have been cheated on since time immemorial. Time was they'd be stoned to death, or hung.

The fact he walked out and basically was like "fuck this" is alpha.

The tale is of her basically realising how bad she was, almost childishly fighting her own guilt by deflecting, but basically regretting her actions because of how fucking alpha he is.

Remember she cheated to get his attention, she wanted MORE of him, and went about it the wrong way, and lost him. Now she has him all the time, and STILL WANTS MORE.

She played the game and lost.

Seth is essentially ubermensch.

is this show even on television?

>STD

Reminder: if DIS wins it'll end up following ENT and VOY as trash, the patrician choice is the acronym STD, like TOS, TNG & DS9

if by great you mean dogshit then yes

The things people do for dorrar

What is DIS?
It's STD

Maybe we are just retarded and didn't get the newest science papers from Elon Munks about the revolutionary spore drives and the giant water bear super computers. Maybe Bill Ney should make an episode to explain this next gen tech to us imbeciles.

It's about Klingons again

and sassy black women defying everyone's racist expectations

and a sassy bug alien that has to deal w/racism

No sweetie, we don't like that

>spore drive ops officer
L M A O

I wonder if we'll get to see more of the new aliens.
They all seem to be one-offs that don't get any real development.
Saru is the only alien in the main cast, and his species seems to be written for plot purposes instead of being its own thing.

Seems a shame to cover her in all that stuff.

ive seen that show
its like a saturday morning live action show for preteens

its garbage

>great
It was fucking shit. Even if it hadn't been Star Trek branded it'd be a bad show. I should stop wasting my time with this garbage. The worst part is how they ruined the klingons. Klingons baiting each other with food instead of honor? Really?

I'd cover her in all sorts of stuff if you know what I'm saying.

>great

"who saved us temporarily?"

Thanks for cross-post sir, ensuring I get a reply.

Nice to see you in this comfy thread,

Frankly considering Bill Nye's pedigree, it wouldn't surprise me to see him join Science of Star Trek alumni like Krauss in writing "The science of STD"

kudos to however did this!

saved and send to all my friends

-literally this

>it's not gritty and dark enough
>for preteens
Enjoy your spore drive bullshit.

I hope they do that. I get not having an expensive CG crab monster as a main character, but one more Saru-tier prosthetic alien can't be too much. Just have less Klingons.

Technobabble is a staple of Star Trek. At least the spore drive is *somewhat* unique and not just another "reversing the polarity bullshitium particle when we bounce it off the main deflector dish"

>an entire episode on gender issues
You keep posting this every thread you sperg and everyone else continues not caring

ho fuck

hnnnggggggghhhhh

it's not GoT in space, it's literally for toddlers

this can't be happening. Cute female is dressed in clown costume to not steal the light from manly mulatto gril. Is this what they call torture porn?

>my only knowledge about trek comes from memes and youtube videos

it's kind of annoying that they use a drop shadow instead of an outline though

Both shows are godawful. Stick to watching TNG and DS9 reruns for eternity like the rest of us.

Anyone else from those, who were defending this show after the piloting two parter have changed their minds as well? I think it's not very much a Star Trek tv show. I think the target audience is supposed to be teenagers. It's not very smart. It's actually very cliché. Giant Tardigrade isn't a smart idea. Everything just relies on design, effects, etc. But the story is really really weak. And not very original.

Why should I bother with this anymore?

Yeah,with spore drive even a kid knows it's bullshit.

>"who's in the mood for Chinese"
fucking hell

With all the gore so far I'm surprised they didn't show this scene

it feels like discount Battlestar Galactica meets Mass Effect

They said multiple times the Klingons were starving since they ran out of food so I wonder if thats when they ate her.

So you're telling me it's a divorce drama with Starfleet LARPing?
NO THANKS

Isn't that the same armor as the blue man from Game of thrones?

Well it can't always be a green hand in Space

>Looks like sweet & sour's back on the menu, boys!

jesus, Voq.

I didn't like the pilot, episode three was good and made me excited for ep 4, episode 4 was a trainwreck.
I can stomach the spore drive, the bug storyline is nice but what the hell was up with everything else? The characters are made less and less likable by the minute, the klingons lost their honor, the broadcasted crying child seemed like cheap propaganda tv and how does the federation work with that kind of dynamic on the ships? And on top of that I'm still not used to the dark sets and weird camera angles.
Well, it was amusing anyway.

Would you prefer another "aliens who are basically Gods" story?

>disables force field
>shoots on the alient that killed an entire crew
>gets killed
Could be a comedy.

Finally, a smart show for smart people

I've not been defending it but I tried to stay positive since I love Star Trek.

I've not enjoyed a single episode so far. Only my anger is growing so I can't see myself sticking with it much longer.

That's right. The tardigrade is cylon hybrid. But I've seen all this already. Everything is just a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy...

Yes, I prefer something slightly cliched over completely moronic nonsense.

no it's just a cheap Scalebearer cosplay.

>would you prefer another good episode?
Yes

airiam a cute

>we want the anime audience

casting's good, the main cast anyway. apart from the obvious tumblr bait in that ginger girl. the effects are alright and the ship's actually grown on me. just a shame the story's a complete mess, it's like the writers have never even watched star trek beside the reboot films.

You just described the first two seasons of TNG.

>it's like the writers have never even watched star trek beside the reboot films
Then explain the specific references to TOS episodes littered everywhere.

Can we talk about how Jews ruin everything, even what they themselves create? I'm not even kidding, look at the entirety of Pedowood, the media, the financial sector, the zionist occupied governments of the West, they're all complete and uter fucking garbage from bottom to top. The Jews are the most incompetent fucking bunch of hegemons ever that can't create any form of lasting value or meaning if their lives depended on it.

Keep ruining shit, Jews. Your downfall is hilarious, and STD is all the evidence we ever needed.

I laughed at that. Next I was shocked they killed her off, it looked as if they could have told some good stories with her character and Lorca.

Just watched this week episode.

>Trying to understand the alien instead of beating it into submission
>Figuring out how to utilize it to rescue a group of people in mortal danger
>Realizing that you're hurting the creature for the greater good and coming to a personal realization from it
>Klingon intrigue and drama
>Preview showing the captain being captured by the series' hostile alien race

It hit a lot of the same beats as many classic episodes. This episode was the first one that felt like, overall, it could happen in any of the series.

I'm enjoying the show. It's not great, but it's good. Definitely better than Voyager and waaaaay better than Enterprise.

The ten-years-before-TOS thing is still a bad idea tho

I think someone needs a little shalom in their life.

What? I have never seen a giant wishing space squid being held as an hostage masked as an entire city being rescued by another giant space squid before the tng two parter pilot. Thats literally one of the most original non-cliche things in the first episode. It was so original, people disliked it at first. Your argument is retarded.

It feels like one of those badly written space magic TOS episodes where you had to take the bullshit plot elements as granted and find enjoyment in character interactions. Luckily the combat shares more elements with TOS as well than it does with other trek

We need a copypasta of all the asinine, indefensible shit in this shitshow, I'll start:

>Starfleet captain uses technology he knows will put his crew in extreme danger
>Starfleet captain magically knows that a giant spacemite contains the solution to all his problems
>Starfleet uses obviously insecure security system
>How did the captain leave Michael her telescope when it was on the ship in the graveyard and no one had been there in six months?
>Why did the security officer open a cage with a space tiger in it for no reason?
>Why didn't Michael Sue beam the spores in to test her theory?
>Why didnt any Klingons bring the albino a part to fix his cloaking ship in six months after many of them swore loyalty to him?
>Why did the federation leave a mining operation that supplied 40% of their dilithium almost completely undefended?
>How did the crew know after jumping away from the battle that the enemy had even been destroyed?
>Shall we provide medical assistance to the decimated colony captain? >fuck it, I want to try out my new warp toy more
>Michael (wow m8, tranny name, unique!) "Smartest officer in Starfleet," Apparently an expert in every subject, Expert combat skills, Lectures veteran Captains about how they're wrong, raised on Vulcan but never acts Vulcan in any way or form whatsoever

There's been like a hundred other bullet points in the prior threads of how fucking stupid this show is, please keep posting them and we'll compile them all to shut down the shills. KEEP CONTRIBUTING.

>the captain's got a tribble on his desk so that makes everything ok
references are easy to shoehorn in, without context there's not much point.

Boring.

please hold me Sup Forums TT

>not killing her off
Not enough shock effect, obviously.

>comparing Encounter at Farpoint with STD

STD is worse than the worst episodes from any other Trek by orders of magnitude. Your argument is fucking retarded and not really an argument at all.

>cuck
>guy that dumped her the second he found out she was cheating and moved onto bigger better things while simultaneously guilt tripping her into busting her ass for his benefit
Someone has been drinking the Sup Forumsaid way too hard

That was so retarded I couldnt believe it has actually happened. Is that really Federation? What am I watching what the fuck this isnt Star Trek RRREEEEEEEE

>klingons bait each other with food and never fight for honor
The fucking cringe. The klingons are basically somalians.

>while simultaneously guilt tripping her into busting her ass for his benefit
Sounds beta as fuck and is insufferable to watch.

>klingons ate the captain
>just hanging around a debris field for 6 months
>elon musk
>this whole sporedrive garbage

STD is such a heap of shit. Fucking hell.

>ching chong captain desecrates a Klingon corpse by putting a bomb inside it
>they eat her corpse in revenge
based Klangons

You said I have described first two seasons of TNG by this post I have explained, how wrong you are and now I am the one comparing it to TNG? Enough of using keyboard for you today.

the only way they could make Trek good was to turn it into star wars

I'm new to Trek and even I think these characters are dumb as fuck. Who is this supposed to appeal to?

>Sounds beta as fuck
I'm sorry you have brain problems. That is hardly my problem though.

the klingons are based on trump supporters, the writers have even said this.
>make america great again
>remain klingon
