This is messy with 20 episodes dropping all at once, but option #1 is probably the best course of action.

Another idea: All 20 discussion threads, but posted two per day for ten days. Then after two-ish weeks, posting a season-long discussion thread.

Regardless, I like the idea of a new "So what did y'all think?" discussion thread posted a couple of weeks later for those of us who don't prefer to binge.

It bugs me that you're being downvoted because you're correct that modern descriptors don't apply.

Looks like a window sticker but I'll allow it this time.

Into Darkness actually had a pretty solid soundtrack but I would be embarrassed if I had company over and someone were to see this.

I was joking, but because it's Into Darkness. I will literally corner people at social gatherings to explain how Dukat is the greatest television villain of all time, so that ship has long sailed.

Lol had the same thought. We've already seen some pretty big swings??

Been very impressed by the quality of reporting by 404 Media and they seem to be making it work financially so feeling cautiously optimistic!

Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?

Hi all! Long time Star Trek fan here with my first post. I'm gonna start out by saying that I promise I'm not a hater of Discovery at all. It just has done nothing for me and from what I read, has not made any changes that would have solved my personal issues with it. I'm fine with others liking it and honestly wish that I did...

I really like Discovery seasons 4&5 but totally with you on Beyond. The fact that I enjoyed it more than '09 and Into Darkness isn't the same thing as being actually enjoyable...

Cloud Minders is one of my favs from TOS as well! Glad to see it getting a shout out.

Reddit has been trying hard for years to move beyond being a discussion forum to another mindless scroling app.

The reason is because in the time people read one discussion thread they only see one ad, but scrolling memes, etc they will see many more. It makes the ads much more valuable.

Got a link? I'd be curious to read that.

Got a “All Good Things…” tattoo for my birthday. ( startrek.website )

My birthday was last week (May 17). Decided to get my first tattoo, which I wanted to be Trek related. As a kid my family had a VHS tape with a recording of “All Good Things…” (and for unknown reasons, “Caretaker”). So I have seen the episode a dozen times. It is my favorite episode of the franchise. The image I’m...

Maybe they can quickly rewrite the finale to make room for another few seasons

Remember when every new episode came out the ragebait youtube channels would proclaim it has already been super secret tripled cancelled? And yet they kept producing more episodes post-cancellation for reasons I never quite could follow?

Attracting new subscribers with an expensive unpopular show! Brililant!

@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Oh my gosh yes. I was too young to see the original release but always wanted to see the destruction scene on the big screen.

EDIT: Also that poster is great.

DISCO S5 has been phenomenal

Two episodes to go. I'm gutted this is going to be the end, just as the show truly found its stride and grew the beard. Feels a lot like the end of Enterprise. Every season has been better than the last, and the earlier episodes were pretty good. I recently started rewatching S1 after getting an IRL friend into it and he's...

Corgana ,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Agreed on all counts! I was personally not a big fan of S1-S3 at all, but S4 really blew me away and this season is even better. It really sucks that they decided to stop it after it finally found it's flow. Like you said I am at least glad they experimented with something different.

I’m sorry so many of the fans are haters.

The motivation of the people that watch a show they don't even like, then write about it online just blows my mind.

I think season one did everything great except the plot which felt like they were trying to do 100 things at once. I was happy to see by time season 4 came around they calmed down and focused on one story much better.

Corgana ,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

So glad to see this opinion, I think season four is one of the best seasons of trek out there, and it's weird because I think 1-3 are not great at all. I feel the same way about Enterprise.

Corgana ,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Definitely. Zero complaints with the score, sets, uniforms, etc.

Sonequa gave possibly her best performance of the whole series in this episode. I know everyone makes fun of how much Burhnam cries, and like- it is a lot, but this time it really felt like she was being maximally vulnerable.

Also I really liked the Klingon(?) lady. Did not expect that to be her personality based on the promo pics.

Corgana ,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

WTF

Space Babies was very RTD but I actually thought it was charming and pretty fun. Ncuti has a lot of promise, too.
