  1. It looks good-ish. I dislike the stylized/super show-ey reloading sequence, but unfortunately that what Hollywood thinks the people want. I may see this, depending on what other book readers say. If I had no idea what The Dark Tower was, or had read any of the connected books, i'd probably give this a pass.

    See, while I think the stories and assorted JJ-isms of the new movies are pretty terrible, I do think they've at least got a core cast of good actors for the roles.  They just need some decent writers.  Seriously, everything since Nemesis has played out like some kind of terrible fanfic adaptation.

    I agree. I would even go further and say that everything after First Contact was bad. It was a chore watching Voyager, and while I would rank Enterprise higher than Voyager, it too fell victim to poor writing. I doubt that we would see anything as near as awesome as DS9 was. It's too bad that it's rated as low as it is by the fans. Thankfully they have that DS9 documentary coming out.

     

    As you said, they DID nail the characters for the rebooted ST. 

  3. This poor, poor franchise. I used to love ST, but some of the decisions that are currently being made are ruining decades of work. The rebooted movies were terrible, and this new show doesn't seem to be a step in the right direction. Even if Discovery is fantastic, I wont be watching watching it due to their blatant money grab from the fans. Not that Discovery will last very long, of course.
