The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

The Orville has some good jokes among the turds.
But worse yet, it has no soul. To be really funny,
it would be better if it could be taken seriously.

I only saw part of the opener. Since then, it's never on when I think of it (seems to have changed nights, idk). And I can't DVR it because I apparently set up an unauthorized recording of something else I wanted to watch, causing the DVR to not record stepson's favorite, The Walking Dead...

why do I not remember the Kirk one?

I remember the scene, but not which episode it was.
Maybe the one with the telekinetic gods who made
the officers perform for them?

 

[Revoltingest]

The last episode was almost 100% joke free. I take it seriously (and ignore the occasional lame humor with only a groan and a wince, quickly forgotten.

None of the characters are interesting or compelling.

ah, that sounds right...when Kirk got to kiss Uhuru...

Oh! How I wish I were still teaching...maybe if my brain comes back...

The contrivances get even stupider as the series develops.
The special effects & characters are good, but they jumped the shark almost immediately.

Spoiler: How the shark was jumped

The ship can instantly transport anywhere in the galaxy cuz
it's powered by trans-dimensional mushrooms & spores.
A giant tardigrade (water bear) showed them the way.
But it suffered, so an engineer became part tardigrade
with DNA therapy. I kid you not.

And this is supposed to be the prequel to STTOS?

Surely you describe not Star Trek but some other science fiction?
And here I thought Jar Jar Abrams ruined the series.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I think I'm going to cry myself to sleep over how blasphemed Star Trek has been over these sacrilegious spin offs that should never have come into existence, and just how dumb it is this "discovery" is not at all matching up with TOS.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

QI'yaH! I condemn "discovery" to naDHa'ghach!

P'tahk!

Thursday - is its current time. But you can watch on various streaming sites if you're a member.

It's 5:53am and its foggy and I have to drive 15 miles soon. I bet that made your day.

It's 11:32pm and I'll be going to bed soon.

I watched in absolute amazement.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I wonder when and why we started doing that "*tt*tt*tt*" thingy with the tips of our tongue for animals?

 

[sun rise]

I feel so much better now that I read this:

If our father Abraham had leaned on the understanding of anyone at all there would be no Jesus.

[beenherebeforeagain]

The JJ version at least has some good special effects, good impersonations of the original characters, and occasional hat-tips to the original series...

 

[savagewind]

It seems much later than 5:38 pm.
