eugene 36 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 i actually do want this to be good. with the exception of farscape, firefly and maybe the more recent expanse if we're stretching it, existing tv space operas are either too dated, too corny, too shit or some kind of a mix of that. so there's enough room to do something cool within this genre and it looks like it's got the necessary budget at least. that lead actress is indeed pretty terrible and probably like 30% of the running time it'll be busy ticking all the start trek references boxes and staying "true to star trek roots" for reddit to wank over. but whatever, i thought it's scheduled for 2022 or something, but it's out in a few days so there's no point in preemptively shitting on it i guess. CANT WAIT TILL THEY REVEAL THE NAME OF THE BOOM OPERATOR FOR THE PILOT ANYWAY. Link to post Share on other sites

Lada Laika 938 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The boom operator looks promising, I'm also missing a space opera in my life atm. yeah the Expanse doesn't do it for me (though I keep watching it), Dark Matter is fun but a little too goofy to be invested in emotionally, and Killjoys is just terrible. Crossing my fingers that this is good otherwise it's back to rewatching Farscape, Babylon 5, DS9, and BSG in rotation forever. Link to post Share on other sites
mngosx 48 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm trying to be optimistic about this show, but what I've seen so far looks almost identical to the Abrams movies. I hope the writers don't waste the diverse cast that they have by using them as nothing more than action scene props Link to post Share on other sites
Nebraska 1812 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 rewatching Farscape really loved this show- especially zhann. i loved the episode where she gets nude in front of an alien and he's so embarrassed and offended at the same time. she just smiles and asks gently "is nudity a taboo in your culture?" i think i only managed to watch season 1 only.

Nebraska 1812 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 but doesn't zhann leave (or die) at some point? i stopped watching around then but i don't recall why (either work at the time got too much or did some traveling). i do remember being really impressed with the show despite some hesitation going into it. i even became fond of pilot and his connection with moya Link to post Share on other sites
eugene 36 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 it's actually better than that. the actress who played her was apparently really stupid and thought that paint is somehow damaging her health and skin and so she quit, they had to kill her off in the script.

auxien 2235 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Is that why she left the show? Wow. Never knew. Aeryn Sunn (or however you spell it) was always great. And always gorgeous. But I take issue with Season 1 being the worst, I liked it a lot. 2 was probably best, 3 went pretty over the top (a little too much imo) and 4 was about like 3 but seemed to drag. Oh and I still think Discovery is going to suck. I'm gonna be most curious to see how terrible their pirating problem is going to be, really. Link to post Share on other sites

Lada Laika 938 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I mean when I say season 1 was the worst, that just means compared to the rest of the show - it was still very good. IIRC the body paint was actually making Hey ill, which is why near the end of her tenure she was wearing less and less revealing outfits. I think she was also sick of shaving her head. Anyway top show all around Link to post Share on other sites
Kavinsky 6 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I´m sure we will never see scenes like that in the new star trek, reminds me even of Twin Peaks. Edited September 22, 2017 by Kavinsky Link to post Share on other sites
