Not going to watch. It's all women and expecting a chick show focusing on angsty relationship drama, bitchy backstabbing, soapie dialogue and "the ship's shield is not working because you're feeling angsty, keptin!" because in chick shows muh feelings somehow directly affects the physical universe like clark's ability to fly or supergirl's ability to stop a ship from falling.

You might be right

>Star Trek: Discovery is shedding a creative restriction that's long frustrated top writers on previous shows in the franchise.
>Showrunners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg working from a creative roadmap laid out by executive producer Bryan Fuller are delivering a Trek saga that gets rid of one the franchise's decades-old limitations in an effort to evolve the series.
>As part of Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's utopian vision of the future (and one that Trek franchise executive producer Rick Berman carried on after Roddenberry's death in 1991), writers on Trek shows were urged to avoid having Starfleet crew members in significant conflict with one another (unless a crew member is, say, possessed by an alien force), or from being shown in any seriously negative way.
>This guideline wasn't strictly followed across all 700 previous franchise episodes, of course (there are especially some notable exceptions in The Original Series). But in an aspirational effort to make the future more idyllic, Starfleet crew members typically weren't supposed to demonstrate baser human flaws. For writers on Trek shows, the restriction has been a point of behind-the-scenes contention (one TNG and Voyager writer, Michael Piller, famously dubbed it Roddenberry's Box). Drama is conflict, after all, and if all the conflict stems from non-Starfleet members on a show whose regular cast consists almost entirely of Starfleet officers, it hugely limits the types of stories that can be told.

So Trek writing teams in the 90s/00s were able to churn out 600+ stories for television out of pure luck?
These faggot hacks should just stay away from science fiction.
>>
>>84242125
conflict in fiction writing is more than just people being ennemies or being cunts to each other

>The basic types of conflict in fiction have been commonly codified as "man against man", "man against nature", and "man against self."

Even man against man can be done without having the characters at each other's throat.
Ethical conflicts, cultural conflicts, etc. You know, just like TNG and DS9 had. The worst season of DS9 (season 1) was because "muh conflicts finally". Once they got rid of that shit it and made the crew a (disfunctional) family it became great.
>>
>>84242240
and yet deep space 9 was the worst series in the franchise.
>>
>>84242125

Exactly. Gay writers want devil-wears-prada-bitch style dialogue and soapie intrigues.

Discovery will not be about meeting new life and new civilizations. It will be bawwww-my-best-friend-slept-with-my-wife-i-want-revenge for 10 episodes and bawwwww-captain-does-not-know-i'm-in-love-with-her-i-hate-whoever-looks-at-her for the rest of the season.

>>84242051

What's DBZ?

When did an engine fail in TNG because the captain is in love and she won't say i love you to him? When in TNG did the ship's shield become stronger because the ex-o looked at captain and whispered "I believe in you"?
>>
>>84242240
Bashir and O'Brien didn't become friends until season 2's Armageddon Game, and there is nothing wrong with season 1 of DS9.

>>84242336

>>
>>84242125
>it hugely limits the types of stories that can be told

it's their lack of talent that limits their ability to write sci-fi stories. what they want is that they're not limited/prevented from writing soap-opera stories.

>>84242157
>>84242206
>>84242240

totally correct. they should get sci-fi writers and not wannabe writers who want to copy scripts from daytime soaps.
>>
>>84242370
DBZ is Dragonball Z.

I remember particularly in TNG when they went to the edge of the universe where it was still being formed and thought could become matter/energy. The traveller character was pretty much all about muh feels cun duh anytang.

>>84242420
Sorry, I confused ds9 with voyager. Now that was terrible.
>>
>>84242515
Daytime soaps used to be pretty good not so long ago. They were like Twin Peaks on crack. Slasher killers, witches, vampires, evil dummies, spy shit. superhero shit, evil twin that is a serial masked killer and dating a witch who is sister to a slayer of vampire, etc.
>>
>>84242515
Let's not get too full of ourselves. Much of sci-fi writing has been window dressing to push political/social agendas independent of science or technology.
>>
>>84242604
It's almost as if it was the original theme of Star Trek. Weird, right?
>>
>>84242593
I remember Talk Soup maybe making fun of that one with the lisping midget who played a magical doll quite often. I never watched it outside of that.
>>
>>84242593

Whoa. It's as if daytime and primetime switched. Primetime shows now are mostly relationship drama that girls love like "what did she say to him" and "how did he react to what she said" and "did he say i love you back" and stuff like that.

>>84242604

Pol/Soc topics are not soapie topics. They're topics found in all genres. Soapie writing refers to relationship drama like one whole ep in SGU dedicated to guy chasing after bestie who slept with his wife.

>>
>>84242752
The point was science fiction has many times not been about its namesake, but anything else to appeal to the lowest common denominator since the writers are only capable of writing for people like themselves.
>>
>>84242604
>assumes anons talking about soap operas are talking about political/social agendas themes

You see political/social agenda pushing even when no one is talking about it because you're perpetually triggered due to the fact that you support a political/social agenda that you are incapable of defending and which you know deep down is wrong.
>>
>>84243022

That's the point everyone's been making. Many so-called sci-fi shows are not sci-fi but are actually chick shows for women and gays.
>>
>>84243022

You think that because you're one of the teengirls who grew up thinking the young adult novels like Divergent and Hunger Games are sci-fi. Expand your reading list, little girl.
>>
>>84243134
Like someone else indicated Star Trek the original and TNG both were more about political and social agenda pushing than hard sci-fi, but they weren't chick flicks or whatever it is called in tvland.

The new klingons look like darker bald Klingons with smoother ridges ans the death sensing guy looks like Lorien from Babylon 5. Where does these two look more alien then the usual Westmore stuff?

Leaked plot details:

Episode 1 - The Captain has to deal with a male member of her crew who mansplains to her during a briefing

Episode 2 - The Captain must court marshall a crew member who manspreads during a training exercise

Episode 3 - The Captain is sent on a mission to a planet run by a bigoted government who do not want to accept 10 million peaceful Klingon refugees

Episode 4 - The Captain must intercede when a security officer phasers an unarmed black man

They have had 1 revamp (TOS to TNG) and a period attempting to explain why the change happens. Worf brings it up on DS9 but doesn't explain it, ENT explains why Worf didn't want to explain it.

AIDStartrek just does them wrong. I don't care if its evoking a sketch from the 70's, its just the wrong look now and they went for that look for objectively wrong reasons (politics).

So a space alien called the Scarab, looking 100% like a scarab, and from space, and fights in space against other aliens isn't a space alien scarab because its in a cape comic, even though all his stories are about his space adventures?

>ENT explains why Worf didn't want to explain it.

You act like that did Klingons any favors. It didn't, it completely fucked them over because now all the Klingons Kirk met were some kind of genetic human hybrid mutants. I'm honestly shocked you think that's okay but Discovery's interpretation is somehow the most blasphemous treatment ever. And not only does it not explain why Worf didn't want to explain it, it begs the question why it's not general knowledge among Starfleet. It's by far the stupidest thing ever to happen to Klingons.
>>
>>84246194
Not scarabs.
>>
>>84246214
The fact that you had to dig through capeshit to find ONE example of a space scarab basically made my point. You couldn't find a mainstream sci-fi Scarab species. Deal with it.

It was basically a throwaway joke by the writers, not something they were hoping would be explained in a followup series. The best way to go about that episode would've been for Worf to suddenly lose the ridges and look like a TOS-era Klingon and for none of the DS9 crew to notice.

You can tell it became a plot point in Enterprise because B&B were starved for ideas and decided to turn a throwaway joke into a full-blown fucking retcon.
>>
>>84246247
I didn't say it was "good" just that it was consistent. Remember that in TOS Kirk meets maybe 10 Klingons total. Worf doesn't want to talk about it because its a clearly shameful time for the proud klingon race, it makes perfect sense. They had a typically less than perfect period in their history, just like humans with the eugenics wars (which the klingon thing segues into nicely thematically and plotwise)

It was less than stellar but it was fine. You forget this is a series where all aliens and humans were seeded by a single precursor race millions of years ago, and multiple races on the Q level of fuckery. Klingons falling for the eugenics meme is small time to complain about.

Remember when starfleet command was infested with parasites that had affected all levels of its powerstructure all the way to the top?

No you don't.
You don't understand.

B&B had nothing to do with this. The showrunner was Many Coto at this point. I think you just want to fuel your hatred for BermanBraga here.

Pushing some sort of agenda is a pretty integral part of Trek's identity as a show and cultural phenomenon. Discussing the show without discussing the various agendas it's endorsed over the years, and speculating which social trends that new iterations of the show will attach itself to, is to severely limit discussion about the very soul of the franchise.
>>
>>84246420
>I think you just want to fuel your hatred for BermanBraga here.

You act like they need fuel. They're the reason Star Trek died for 4 years. Everything wrong with Enterprise is the result - direct or indirect - of the retarded premise they started.

Trek used to present the idea and have it be pretty well formed so the viewer could make a choice and have discussion, a la the transgendered aliens wanting to be the sex they feel they are and leaving it at an emotional message at the end.

New trek is about browbeating the viewer into feeling how the writers want them to feel out of guilt. All new tv is, its not a trek thing.

TV as a whole doesn't respce the viewer as it once did.

Bro, scarab klingons are already a thing. In the ep when Crusher de-evolves everyone Worf becomes a lobster man. Those lobster things would end up scarab aliens when they move to land. You don't know your trek lore (or general scifi lore) to be arguing on the platform you are.

And they were the reason Star Trek prospered for many years with TNG.
The one big problem Enterpeise had wasn't the premise, it was the fact that they didn't follow it through. They wanted to show humans first steps into deep space but chickened out to really portrait it any different than Voyager. No phasers, no transporters, more prmitive tech.
Also the becoming of the Federation should have been a major plotpoint right from the start, not when the show was almost over.

This is my biggest issue with sci if that goes the crew drama route. This is a MILITARY vessel. There are rules, regulations, rank. What is with the bitching, moaning, arguing, crying, lovydovy emotional bs.
>>
>>84248222
You seem to forget that your favorite show (Enterprise) had nothing but that kind of drama. Everyone was constantly arguing and Archer himself was bouncing off the walls and acting like an asshole. BSG also did this but they did it right. And that was far more militarized.

>This is a MILITARY vessel
Wrong. It's been stated in several series (notably by Picard) that Starfleet is not military.

It really is tho. Perhaps more UN blue hats than US Navy, but still a military.
