Da> Everyone brought up some great points. First, I do hate cliff
Da> hangers at the end of a season. That goes for any show, not just Star Trek.
Da> I hate waiting months or even up to a year to know what happened.
Da> It just happened tonight with the Loki show on Disney+. It annoys me.
Cliffhangers suck. This is why I don't watch many shows these days. If you
watched Breaking Bad, like I did, they'd always have a hanging chad at the end
of each episode. Mini-cliffhangers and three to four subplots left unresolved
for a few episodes. Never were episodes ended cleanly. Drove me nuts. I just
wanted, one time, to see a clean ending.
Even the finale ended with a cliffhanger. Yeah Walt was dead but, what about
Jesse? Years had to pass before they decided to give him a movie to resolve that
bit. Anyhoo, that's my mini-rant.
Da> Someone brought up Wesley and hinting that he was annoying. He was
Da> an OK character at best. One thing that i thought was just dumb was kids
Da> and families living on the Enterprise in TNG. I know what was a popular
Da> thing in the first 2 seasons (i think) but it is a dumb decision. How often
Da> are Starfleet ships going into danger. To me, it is like families living on
Da> battleships during World War 2!!! hahahahaha
Wesley was annoying to me because the guy couldn't act and I hated his overalls.
My high school girlfriend thought I resembled him so she had
posters of him on her bedroom wall. Eyeroll haven.
The family concept, on the enterprise, didn't sound like a bad idea for me at
the time. But, now that I'm in my late forties, it does now. It seemed, at least
in TNG, the galaxy class was the only type to have families onboard.
Da> It is great to know that there are others with the love of Trek like
Da> me. I saw that someone was from Germany. Where is everyone from? I live
Da> in Southwest Florida near Sarasota but originally from Philadelphia.
I'm in California - Sacramento region.
Da> I heard rumors that Star Trek Discovery may be cancelled after this
Da> season. I do hope not. I think they are in a position to move Star Trek
Da> to new areas!!. I also heard about another JJ movie. Not sure how i feel
Da> about that though. I like them but i share the same opinion as everyone
Da> that it just does not feel like Trek to me.
Discovery is a really, really lame show - lamer than Picard, but that's my
opinion. Anything conceived today seems to be really really bad. There are
moments that are star trek-like but, overall, you get my drift. I am enjoying
one of the canon novels though.
Da> I have been on vacation over the last week so that is why i have not
Da> posted in a while. :)
Where did you go?
Da> LATER TREKKIES!!!!
