Happy I found this thread haha
Got to the end of the game a few weeks ago, I haven’t beaten it bc I don’t want it to truly end! Such a good game.
What game is this?
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. A wonderful JRPG (FRPG? It was made by a French studio).
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
She is the best captain to me. Close second is Janeway though. I absolutely love everything about her.
I’m currently watching Discovery for the first time, after finishing SFA and wondering how Discovery went from Pre-TOS to the far future. I’m half-way through the third season, and I’m still waiting on it to get better. At least the episodes directed by Frakes are enjoyable. But zomg, they’re all so melodramatic. I know rousing speeches about the Federation ethos are in every Trek, but I really don’t need one every other scene.
I have watched discovery almost twice now, i really enjoy it. Yes, it is melodramatic, and Martin-Green appears to have gone to the keifer Sutherland acting school where you whisper or tell, and nothing in between.
It is a fun show.
I, too, thoroughly enjoy it.
The fact that it started in the past, but not quite “enterprise” levels of “in the past” and ended up in the far future was one of the things that really kept mw interested. The fact that the federation can even still BE the federation 800-ish years on (albeit partially due to interference from the past) is fascinating stuff.
Starfleet academy did some amazing stuff with the klingon diaspora and with the federation in general as well, to say nothing of the great sci-fi themes throughout it.
I’m honestly really loving everything we’re getting for new trek television.
The crying space baby ruined the overall story arc for me. I know it’s sci-fi, I know it requires suspension of disbelief. I just could not suspend enough disbelief. That the universe could be that fragile and so many well understood laws of physics could be broken simultaneously without any understanding for decades…but the millennium out-of-date-ship could solve the mystery in weeks was just too much for me
I have been trying to make my way up to them getting tossed into the future, but had no plans on continuing to watch past that, primarily for one reason: the clips I have seen don’t show enough progress for being so far into the future.
Sure, things stagnate a bit because space baby cried too hard, but look how far we have come in the last 300 years, see how far we get in Trek in the next 300 years… And you’re telling me things just look a little fancier? The complex tech should be completely unrecognizable to anyone in the 2400s, let alone 2200s.
The scale of the ship also has just kept bugging me. So much empty space. So much complex tech that made no sense in the timeline. Even if you consider it’s in an alternate timeline from the one I grew up with, it still makes no sense.
I think if they firmly established it’s in an alternate timeline, maybe by referencing a historic event that we know went a different way in the prime timeline or something, they set it in the 2400s, and the time skip forward were a few hundred years closer, it would make things a lot more watchable.
<season 1 or 2 spoilers>
Also entirely fuck them for killing half my favorite character combo. I know he comes back later, but it’s not the same.
I’ve tried to watch Discovery multiple times, because everyone tells me that it gets better, but I can’t even make it through the pilot. It’s just so extra.
Discovery does the opposite of getting better. Season 1 is the most grounded and coherent it ever is.
Discovery is absolute shit science-FICTION with a Trek coat of paint instead of SCIENCE-fiction set in the ST universe.
It never gets better, and the goons who say it does cannot understand how much the world needs SCIENCE-fiction over science-FICTION.
She’s just a hobbit who stole the ring.
A lady Bilbo.
Here’s my feet!
Feels like a scene Rick Berman would have added in
Almost, I think the outfit isn’t tight enough for that fuck.
