Trek Thread

tbh as a stand alone movie, instead of an episode of star trek, i don't really hate tpm

it's elf indulgent shit but so was 2001, y'know?

[Zod]

not enough action for some people i guess

[Aaron]

It's certainly closer to the premise of the show then most episodes.

[starku]

not enough action for some people i guess

but some people like st3

st3 is like st2.1 so mayeb it's the episodic thing

i mean people who always want novels to fill in gaps in a franchise - st3 must be paradise to them

[Zod]

i don't actually remember st3 very well so eh

[Nietzslime]

i think st3 is my least favourite of the tos trek movies - and since i don't really have any investment in the tng movies since none of them were particularly good or conceptually interesting, it's my least favourite of the trek movies in general

it seems to write off a lot of the best symbols of st2 for no good reason

it kills kirk's son, makes genesis into a fraud, and brings back spock

it's kind of like a 2-hour retcon

and it doesn't have the depth to it that would justify that

i don't re-watch the trek movies unless someone else put them on

but i think that just may be a personality thing

some people love to re-watch shit they've already seen, either to alleviate boredom when they're too lazy to go buy something new or as background noise or whatever

i generally have no interest in that, unless i expect that watching it a second time will give me enough new insights and opinions that it will be as satisfying as watching something for the first time (eg, fight club, which is a very different movie when you know the twist at the end, or the wire season 2, which i liked much more the second time around when i understood the show as a whole better)

[starku]

i'm just confused by people who watch the same shit over and over

and then make threads like 'where is the scifi oh noes it died'

but then i'm confused by people who watch literally anything just because it's on

in short i'm a confused person

[Zod]

i pretty much don't watch any tv anymore

most of it's ass and who wants to deal with the commercials? even shit like youtube has commercials these days, fuck that

[Nietzslime]

a man may be confronted with the Absurd anywhere

[starku]

luckily for confused starku i know enough people with broad tastes to hear about lots of stuff that's worth watching

i admit sometimes i have some pretty serious resistance :V

[Veef]

strak are you confused like confused matthews :>

[adr-admin]

stark just hates everything ignore what he says

but he's right that the star trek movies aren't good

they're fucking GREAT

[adr-admin]

tbh i don't understand why people watch new shit

old stuff is a sure bet for being worth it cuz you know its good

new shit is always a gamble and the odds are stacked against you

[Aaron]

Don't want to end up with a heap of shit, like nBSG.

[starku]

ADR troll attitude logically leads to suicide lol

Shit am I allowed to say bad things about at here

It's not sdn so I dunno

[adr-admin]

meh

[Aaron]

We don't have our heads far enough up our own asses that we can't poke fun at ourselves.

[starku]

fuuu stupid thing auto-corrected st to at wtf

hey adr what you should do right

is follow up your st is tops stuff by talking shit about a bunch of scifi that eveyrone knows is terrible

like earht final conflict

that way you can save osf from being overwhelmed by a wave of useless broomstick trheads

[Zod]

i kind of liked earth final conflict

but it started getting stupid around the point they killed off the talons

[starku]

all i know about it was the horrible ads they used to show on fox 8

bald dude in purple outfit = oh dear

hey what about roswell :V

[Zod]

efc was great for like the first three or four seasons

never really watched roswell so i couldn't say

[adr-admin]

fuuu stupid thing auto-corrected st to at wtf

u can say bad things about whatever you like

and i can ban whomever i like




seriously though i'm just a troll

is follow up your st is tops stuff by talking shit about a bunch of scifi that eveyrone knows is terrible

i've watched so little outside my precious comfort zone that i wouldn't even know what to bitch about

i haven't even seen all the star trek episodes

[starku]

you've watched st

you've watched sw

what qualifications do you lack in order to sya 'this would be better with picard'

[adr-admin]

i could do that

tho something i've been wanting to do for a while is troll people on space fighters

i had a post written up for that on apr 1 but i accidentally closed the browser tab and lost all that shit.. haven't felt like writing it back up since

[starku]

Aren't browsers that lose shit like that inherently evil
