Official title and distribution.

Welp, amazing. I should get new glasses because I swear to the goddess, I saw in that title, "Star Trek Retarded"...

A little mild necro-threadism but... http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/new-series.htm?fbclid=IwAR1Ou5qqw8EeFDTmuyBwRUbG5Z_4zO1gR72BEwDJfy6cDKIiDtKIUoJt7BQ#20190513
WTF? Now Amazon Prime?

LOL...what would you have the Rebels say and do at that point? Admit to everything, surrender and hand over the plans because Vader would grant them due process?
They would fight and die.

maybe it was those series of "OVA style" videos that are on YouTube that light the match?

maybe MtF isn't the thing any more. It might help if they were selling toys from it?

*eats popcorn* Please, continue the Otaku stuff. Personally, I blame the translators for any confusion caused. When it comes to noting what careers the macross military follow, I assume that everything is patterned after how the JSDF is organized. But just to make things either crystal clear or complete muddy of waters, I ask this:
1) Can a helicopter pilot that initially flies helicopters that are based aboard ships, transition to a helicopter that is based from what is considered a Japanese Air Force Base command? If so, then the Japanese kanji is used as is (F the translations). If not, then the distinction between Naval and Shore (or how ever you want to describe Army and AF) is important.
2) Is the JSDF organized where the chain-of-command for Naval forces and Ground Forces are distinct commands, tied together only at the flag level? or are they treated as elements of the same combined command structure? (another way to look at this is how are they funded? together or separate? A good example of the latter is the US Navy, where we have both Aviation centric funding, Surface centric funding (including Amphibious units), Sub Surface, See Bees, SEALs, etc...)
3) Why does it have to be Spacy? The term Cosmo Navy seems more... professional? It sounds better at least.

And now rumors JJ’s gonna alter the prequel trilogy with this one..
explain... how? he's going to reshot the prequals? in the same way IV-VI was done prior to the prequels?
-
well, certain things will be the same as previous: The fleet will be mostly disposable because the human population is implied to be not large enough to support a fully manned Cosmo Navy...
Spoilerpresumably with a very finite fleet amount because of the, again presumed, sacrifice of the Time Fault to rescue Kodai and Mori.

Nah, he wasn't really whiny... just really obnoxiously insistent. The plot armor is something every force user gets, until they don't. Y'know... destiny this, foreseen that, yadda yadda yadda.
He's really more Yoda's student than Obi-wan's... if he were following in Obi-wan's footsteps he'd have cut off three of Ben's limbs, set his ass on fire, and left him to live the rest of his life as a 7'2" asthmatic chunk of burnt, leathery bacon in a robotic gimp suit.
oh man, so wrong, soooo hilarious.

Well its finally over...
Spoilerand very different ending, compared to the original 2nd season or movie. More like NGE (with less stupid). and lots to ponder for a 3rd season...

ROFL Quidditch Troopers!!!!!!

It must be... but I suppose (as many have lamented already) its a thing for 2202 to slap that Green Skip Card right after the Red Skip Card...
SpoilerI'm kinda sad at how Zoldar offs himself, laughing like a mad man into the singularity. At least in the original 2nd season (and presumably the movie the season was based on), Teresa melds with Zoldar, taking him and his toy where ever (and Zoldar being in abject FEAR of this). The way he dies (presumably) in this fashion seems... pointless, just proving that he really was insane and incapably of being reasoned with, completely wasting Kodai's time in trying the damnedest to not come to blows...

I just watched Episode 25...
Spoilerwhen did the Sgt. (Saito?) get married to the girl Marine?
-
it'll be ^%$& if they can't sell merchandise... but what continuity will they follow? It's clear as bells that CBS/AA isn't CBS-TV (otherwise they would have not used JJ-Trek motive's)...Belay all that. My official POV is this: Who Cares Wins.
-
Well, Doomcock is very happy in this review... I did not put much thought into this thread when it first appeared. I honestly thought this was going to be a movie (and not a web series).
after listening to this review, I'm gonna fix that discrepancy.

After Covenant what next? You mean to say David was the cause of all of this?
it would explain why the company already seems to know about zenos and has employs so many skin-jobs to ensure they finally bag one (which they apparently did in Alien 4). Seriously, all the colony expansion crafted by W&Y? They are not trying to create the Inner Sphere or the Star league or the League of Non-Aligned Worlds: They are bait for David (perhaps the engineers as well, maybe even the Yuanti?).

It funny when you realize that the dog is actually barking at the skinjob Telephone Operator.

From a Facebook commenter that posted on a group I follow: All can be explained easily. It is US scriptwriting for mass market performance. Fast food. Superficial instead of tight research, eye candy mass cgi instead of believable battle etc and way too many crew soap opera instead of logical plot developent. GREAT to watch but little to please the intellect. Be it Discovery or Elementary, in the end they will be cancelled. Quality is a dish served way too rately
I had to borrow this. Does this comment seem accurate?

For my money, Discovery has already seized the top (bottom?) spot as "worst Star Trek".
Star Trek: Discovery is bad, but it's bad in a way that's very different from the weak spots of previous generations of Star Trek shows. It's most similar to TNG's first season, where you had the Enterprise crew journeying to worlds near and far and sitting in judgement of their cultures and values even though that was explicitly the opposite of their mission. Burnham ended up being a lot like Wesley, a wunderkind who can do no wrong and for whom other characters exist simply to facilitate her displaying how awesome she is. Even when she is clearly in the wrong, the writers bend over backwards so that she is still right. Unlike TNG, which quickly realized Wesley was annoying as f*ck, STD doubled down on Burnham to the point that it's hard to argue that she isn't a Mary Sue. She's also got a touch of Janeway syndrome, where the writers can't decide if she's a tough as nails action girl or a delicate and emotional wilting violet, so she whipsaws back and forth between the two extremes with nary a stop in the middle.
Anson Mount did say he was open to the idea, but in the interview where he said so he made it pretty clear both in explicit terms and by implication that he found working for the CBS showrunners in charge of Star Trek to be a frustrating, exhausting, and unpleasant ordeal and not something he's really interested in doing again... which may be connected to the HR complaint that leaked into the news in which there was reportedly a physical altercation between Mount and a director working on the series. If he does come back, he's made it very clear it'll only be on his terms.
seems pretty apt.

Ahhh, the Cheerio of Time.
It's been a long time, but I think I do remember reading Imzadi. I think I shuffled through the Riker/Troi material, but the temporal murder mystery angle was pretty interesting. That, and I remember getting a few good laughs over Barclay having a series of aneurisms over seeing multiple copies of Data running around, while carrying the head of one of them and conversing with it about temporal mechanics. Or something. Like I said, it was a long time ago.
One thing that still bothers me to this day however.. When they ripped Gillian Taylor, the whale specialist, out of the 80s, did anyone consider that they were wiping out any future descendants she would have had? Granted, small price to pay for saving the planet in the grand scheme of things, but would have been interesting to return to the future and discover that a whole bunch of people they used to know suddenly never existed.
There's always this

a failed planet bomb? Kinda cool (and probably another reminder that most of us ignore that the big one is still out there to smite us back into past era without Netflix...)

Abrams expected the next directors to answer his stupid mystery box. He's done the same thing with his shows. "Here's my idea, now you flesh it out." WTF arshole???? Why doesn't he follow it through? He wasn't even planning on coming back to Episode 9 until Episode 8 got flak.
I'm kinda agreeing with the talking head-&-torso video guy. Having Palpatine come back feels like a bad idea. But he came back as a clone in the EU. But he was a clone. I don't remember the story on that but the clone had to be taught that he was a evil prick. The Jedi learned to let go and die, but retain their consciousness. They became immortal. Being a clone means Palpatine couldn't retain his consciousness. But anyways, bringing back Palpatine now just ruins the last 2 movies. Snoak had no reason to be there then. And it cheapens his death in Episode 6.
JJ said there was always plan to bring him back but they couldn’t find a story to do it. BS. If Rian hadn’t killed off Snoak, Palpatine would stay dead. And so, here we are. While we’re at it, let’s bring back Yoda, Luke, and Obi-wan to make sure Palpatine stays dead this time.
Did he get his effort's worth in merchandising (the main reason he jumped ship from Star Trek, once he realized Paramount lied to him)?

ROFLCOPters………+1,000,000.00 As for the video...
yet another reason I cry when I think about my brother. He LOVED Ghibi films. He would be weeping after this. As for Macross?
They could either update the time to reflect modern concerns (in stead of some unknown war in the M1990's, how about a post 9/11 global civil war/Jihad when the ASS-1 visits now or soon-ish?) or stay the course and make the timeline changes AT 1999...
