Every time I'm trying to decide what new show I should check out in c/risa@startrek.website

I’m doing a chronological rewatch of the whole franchise and am at the episodes where DS9 and Voyager overlap. It is mind boggling how much better DS9 is. I find myself wanting to skip almost every Voyager episode so I can just get to the DS9 ones.

I’ve watched Picard and discovery twice now and can safely say they’re very pew pew. The third season of Picard rocks, regardless. I still consider discovery to be the worst of all Star Trek shows. At the end of the day, I love all trek, but those two are not the highlights of the franchise.

For one Star Trek isn’t fantasy in space which is honestly a lot more appealing to those of the nerdy persuasion.

Like, Star Wars has ships that can travel anywhere and basically instantly whereas there are actually in universe explanations for how that might work in Trek and you can’t just zoom home whenever you want - Star Trek Voyager is a whole show about a ship that can’t return home. There are also just way better characters in trek and enough variety that everyone has different favorites.

It’s also nice that many of the conflicts in trek are solved through logic, diplomacy, and smarts. Only in Star Trek Discovery and the Picard show does the franchise venture too far into “pew pew” territory.

At the end of the day Star Wars is like 10 movies and a handful of shows that don’t do much and Trek has that many movies plus like 700 episodes of content.

One last tidbit, most of trek actually flows really well into each other and I think is way more cohesive than Star Wars where each era of movies feels like a different universe.

Honestly one of my favorite things about Star Trek are all my favorite “that guy’s” that show up. Was rewatching DS9 the other night and was like ITS BEN HORNE FROM TWIN PEAKS! Leland being a crazy religious proto-Vulcan in TNG was also a fun appearance.

I fully support this. Also the Hornblower movies.

How many folks here are interested in a Nerdgeist discord server? (lemmy.world)
 

This is something I want to do with the channel but am considering waiting till we get at least 1000 subscribers so theres enough people to make the server viable. Before making that decision, Id like to get your feedback!

I am flabbergasted that this actually got made! I loved this game series as a kid and am morbidly curious about a tv adapation.

100 vfx artists and it still looked bad (variety.com)
 

I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan and finally saw Dial of Destiny last night. Sadly, I didn’t really enjoy it. The deaging was distracting and didn’t add anything to the story and Harrison Ford is honestly too old to be playing Indy anymore. His performance reminded me of Patrick Stewart in Picard - trying so hard to reach the quality of his former iconic character but not having the ability anymore to do it successfully. I also expected more from Mangold. Logan was such a high quality movie that I assumed everything Mangold would do after would be top tier but this movie kinda proves that Disney’s army of producers can ruin any talented directors work and there’s no reason to get excited about a specific director if Disney is involved.

What did y’all think of Dial of Destiny? Do you feel similar or are my opinions off base?

Diablo 4 Season 1 Announcement (www.polygon.com)
 

Seems like a solid first season! I’m most excited for the story - it’s described as a stand-alone tale instead of a direct continuation of the campaign. It will deal somewhat with the fallout of Inarius’ death and what’s going on with the Cathedral of Light now. This will certainly be a treat for us lore-nerds.

Anyone else gonna be starting the season day 1?

What did folks think of the latest Strange New Worlds? (S2E4) (lemmy.world)
 

Felt like a neat add on to TOS but probably my least favorite of the season so far even tho I did like it.

I’m still pretty lukewarm on the Pike/Batel relationship. The reunion at the end didn’t feel very earned. Would be nice to get some more time with those two so I can get why I’m supposed to like them as a couple.

What’s the consensus with the His Dark Materials tv show? (lemmy.world)
 

My partner and I just started it and are about 6 episodes in and it’s honestly pretty interesting. It has some YA novel feeling issues but it overall seems like a well done show.

I like how the showrunners are able to have all the characters talk to and treat younger people in the show like they’re normal adults/people. There’s no talking down or disregarding them because of their age. The one time where someone tried that (when the aeronaut met Lyra) the notion got shot down immediately. Is that an aspect in the books as well? Seems like a refreshing choice.
