I see the trailer, I don't think is the best serie in the world, but I think can be something fun to watch, to nowdays standards that is enough to me really.
I need to watch it to have an opinion, I have the feeling people need to give a chance at least, I did with Voyager despite all the negative critics I saw.
What you think about this?
It's the internet. There's going to be "backlash" regardless.
Though to be honest, people seem pretty high on SFA, both here an in other online spaces I visit.
I think there's a lot of potential in the concept, and the trailer looked great.
Either way, I'd much rather talk about the show than the people talking about the show.
i can't wait to watch it but also fuck paramount so i'm torrenting it
We've seen basically nothing of it other than a short trailer, so it's way too early for anyone to be deciding whether it'll be good or not! I'm planning to give it a try, just like I have with every other Trek show so far. If I like it, I'll continue watching. If I don't, I won't!
The first Star Trek that doesn't receive any backlash is the first Star Trek I'm not interested in.
I'm tired of cameos and fanservice.
Spend less time trying to get us to like it because 'memba' and spend the effort on more interesting plotlines.
All I can say about the trailer is that it took me less than five seconds to recognize Holly Hunter once she began to speak. Such a distinctive voice. Even if it sucks, I'm giving it a shot because of her.
I certainly wasn't expecting it to take place after Discovery, I thought it would be around the same time as Prodigy. I guess restarting the academy after The Burn could be more interesting, either way, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
there's ALWAYS backlash today. we live in a hate-filled world driven by a rage-fueled economy.
only a tiny portion of the critique is legitimate. the rest is overblown, disingenuous nonsense.
OHHH wait I remember this conversation from Disco, lemme see if I can still do the spiel.
I think it's good if it brings more fans to series and in a way I envy the idea of them wanting more Star Trek and finding out about TNG, DS9 and VOY.
I haven’t noticed much backlash, though I’m sure you can find some in the usual discontented corners of the internet. Personally I’m optimistic, but we really don’t have all that much information yet. The trailer mostly sold the tone, but it seemed like the right tone.
I'm so out of touch now. I used to watch a lot of Star Trek when everything was broadcast television. I just can't bring myself to get a subscription just for Star Trek though.
Ok, I’ll bite. From the trailer, it just looks like another season of Discovery. Same look and feel, same era, many of the same cast members. And since I didn’t care for Discovery, I doubt I will care for this either.
I really wish SkyDance would bring in a new showrunner after this round of Star Trek programs is over.
It's the same dumb cycle that's happened with every new Trek show since TNG (and probably TAS). It's tiresome, but at least it's predicable, I guess? Just ignore the obligatory backlash and see how it turns out.
I think part of it is people are so annoyed with entertainment companies in general that it's hard to know if you're worried about something real about the show or you're just fatigued.
Also, personally, I feel like people have actually been relatively quiet about STA, although maybe it's just the community I'm in. Personally, with headlines about Robert Picardo's character being "deeper", I'm almost certain he'll be 100% comic relief, and the show may be unexpectedly good, if Star Trek: Prodigy is anything to judge by.
Mostly, I just hope they don't do the most basic Klingon plot they can think of - I think it would be great if the Qo'nos Klingons were relatively well off post-burn due to a philosophical shift, but they'll probably have something like they were devastated by civil war after possibly being a Federation member.
EDIT: I mean, almost all of the better newer series have been forays into a genre - LD adult animated comedy and PRO children's drama. If STA's trying to aim towards a tween/teen niche, maybe it will also follow that. The only one to break the pattern is S31 somewhat, in the sense it was an action movie attempt, but still within the general sci-fi drama standard of Trek.
They have been talking about making a show about the academy since the mid 90s. I'm optimistic about it.
