Yes, the Klingons from the TOS look different then the series afterwards, BUT all the post TOS series worked to keep some continuity with each other once a history was fleshed out. Even took the time to explain the difference to maintain continuity.

Smooth Antaak

A lot has gone into the history of Klingons, seems weird to just up and change all that for creative purposes. More corporate "stomping" it looks like to me. "Stomping" where you take something great and popular, to just grind it up, pulp it up and then add a whole lot of extra stuff, fluff n' fillers, reshape it over and over again until it doesn't even resemble it's great and popular original.


Nope still haven't watched DSC, even have the blu-ray, still haven't heard anything that makes it so great and entertaining outside Jonathan Frakes is directing some series and a whole lot of money was spent. That's nice. I hear there's another series coming with Patrick Stewart in it, still not excited but I guess folks do need their paychecks, I know I need mine so I wish them luck with collecting the "rain".

Just saw The Orville for the first time--S2 E7 Deflectors; I like it. I'll be tuning in next week and watching the episodes I missed...

Keyali and Bortus

As a big sci-fi geek, I am ashamed to admit that I haven't seen Discovery yet.


I won't comment on it until I do.

HOWEVER, I am having a REALLY hard time really getting into The Orville.

Is it a tribute? Is it a knock-off? Is it poking fun at STTNG? Maybe all of the above (but not really great)?

I really, really enjoyed the movie "Galaxyquest". It was to me, what I thought The Orville would be.

I dunno. I have seen 3 episodes. I'll finish out the season and see.

It seems to me that the people that don't like The Orville are disappointed that it's not more comedic, or more like Seth's other shows, while, the people that do like it are happy that it's not too comedic and not like Seth's other shows.

Or so it seems...

I think there is less humor in season 2 than season 1. I think some of it has to do with LaMarr being in engineering because he is talking more hi-tech dialogue instead of one-liners. Also sucks that actress Halston Sage left. Wonder if it is because she and Seth went out a few times

Well the finally went to Issac's planet. I knew those reports was not a good thing. kinda reminded of that Voyager episode where the robots killed their creators.

Spoilers!! I'll be watching tonight.

Finally picked up Discovery on Blu this week. Got tired of waiting for a good sale price and just bit the bullet. Murphy's Law says that means it'll be on sale next week.

Discovery needs to hire Jeffrey Combs to play a new Alien on the series

You said it, kp! The wife and I were just saying that last week. Jeffrey Combs rules! Love him in Trek and Reanimator and From Beyond and as The Question on Justice League. One of my top 10 favs for sure.

Don't forget the 4400. And yes he was great as the question. They really need to bring back justice league unlimited

Do you watch Young Justice? If so, have you seen Season 3?

Ooops, sorry. But a very good episode. Felt like a season cliff hanger

Naw, it's on me. I haven't watched last night's Discovery yet either. I shouldn't have opened this thread today.

[/quote No because it's on the DC channel and I'm not paying for it

I'm not paying for it either... until they release it on DVD. That said, we watched it, and it was a big letdown from the first two seasons.

Don't you think it felt more like a season cliff hanger? Orville still has like 5 episodes left for the season

Yeah... but I am GLAD it's not. I'd hate to wait till December for part 2.

It's always better to wait... I've bought box sets for series that I was a fan of at great discounts by waiting...

Orville great episode but if you were the Captain wouldn't you question the robots about killing ALL the living beings on the planet when you are from a safe distance??

Shoot! Saw the first part but haven't seen the second! Thanks for the reminder so I can see the second epidsode. I think the second season of Orville is a great inmprovement over the first; I had similar feelings about ST: Next Generation. I thought it took them a good two seasons to turn the series into a compelling show. Kudos to Fox for letting this show develop...

R.I.P Morgan Woodward passed away today at the age of 93. Appeared in 2 episodes of the original series.

Discovery has been picked up for a third season. It was looking iffy, so, this is good news indeed.
