This person definitely has faith of the heart.
I’d argue you shouldn’t watch those till you’re done with the franchise for them to be at their maximum entertainment potential. A lot of the reason Trek fans love those 2 properties is because we have years of familiarity with what’s being parodying and being paid homage.
If you’re new to Trek, start with season 3 of TNG to get your proper Trek indoctrination. Then proceed on to DS9 and Voyager and onward to the current generation of shows. If you love it after watching that then go back to the campy TOS stuff and move forward from there until you circle back on TNG season 3.
I know it sounds weird to start on season 3 of a show but if you follow this order you’ll understand why. Trek didn’t become what most fans love until Roddenberry stopped being directly involved. He was a great dude for starting the universe but he’s also responsible for some of the worst decisions and episodes of the franchise. Before people get mad about me saying this please think about all the awful skippable episodes of season 2 and 3 of TOS and the low quality TOS scripts that were recycled in seasons 1 and 2 of TNG.
Also a pro tip for someone new, ignore anyone that says Trek ended after Voyager. Thats the neckbeard/anti-woke section of the fan base that is small but loud.
Been loving this game. All the folks complaining about it being too similar to Stellaris or that there’s similar mods for some of the functionality in it aren’t being fair IMO. Judge the game on its own merits. Feels like a 7 or 8 outta 10 game in my 10 hours of play so far.
God damn this is hilarious.
I don’t disagree on anime/children’s content or even Star Wars to an extent but since this is a Pokémon show with no actual Pokémon I think it falls under the corporate commercial category more than anything else.
That’s fine, still feels icky to me personally to watch movies glorifying real life corporations. Not really my idea of entertainment.
Check out BlackBerry.com, that brand name recognition definitely isn’t going to waste. They just serve the enterprise sector now.
BlackBerry still exists and is a pretty big publicly traded company, they just don’t do phones anymore.
Uncle Quarks Youth Casino, Mariner saying that Ferengenar looks like heaven if God were stupid, and the naked female Ferengi subtly hidden in the restaurant were all nice little touches. I also think the Cerritos is severely lacking in relationship representation so I hope Tendi and Rutherford actually get together, never been a fan of the will they, won’t they dynamic in any show - as Boimler said, its lowest common denominator entertainment.
Feels like another entry in the “full length, live action commercials” series. Joining Tetris, BlackBerry, Barbie, Jobs, GI Joe, Social Network, Transformers, and even Star Wars since licensing and derivative products make more money than their actual tv and movie content.
I really dislike this trend, even if some of the movies are sometimes good. Feels icky and insincere.
Smol data is kinda cute.
I watched this episode today and when Lal kisses Riker and Data walks in on them and asks “what are your intentions with my daughter” is probably the funniest gag in the whole franchise. Literally laugh out loud funny.
Google the Star Trek chronology project. That’s hands down the best viewing order IMO.
Would Picard be proud of you recycling the same comments over and over? We all know you’re OP’s alt lol
Oh look it’s a space Karen
I’m doing a chronological rewatch of the whole franchise and am at the episodes where DS9 and Voyager overlap. It is mind boggling how much better DS9 is. I find myself wanting to skip almost every Voyager episode so I can just get to the DS9 ones.
