Star Trek: The Universal Thread

Does anyone else hate Tilly on STD? I cannot stand her. I always thought Star Treks biggest flaw was boring characters but she is so annoying its worse.

I am taking a look at Enterprise before I move on to the three that take place in the 24th century. Mostly the highlights. I understand that series didn't do as well.

Red Angels. Mystery signals.

Discovery is hitting its stride. Good.

...Does anyone have a liking of the Star Trek TOS comic books and strips? There've been a lot - from the Gold Key title during tbe time of the NBC run, to today's IDW comics ! There was a newspaper comic strip, too !

I just saw Discovery 2x02 New Eden which I give a 5/10. It's the most Star-Treky episode of Discovery so far. One nit-pick though: The Prime Directive is applied however in TNG 5x13 The Masterpiece Society @43:40 it's mentioned that the prime directive doesn't apply to humans. It could have been altered between the two time periods I guess.

I haven't watched any ST episodes in a while, but I watch clips fairly often.

Favorite lines:

"Where are you going to look for Spock's brain?"

"Get the cheese to sickbay"

^ I certainly hope it won't be cancelled. First seasons are often rocky -- the first season of TNG wasn't very good at all. It takes a while for them to figure out who the characters are.

It can't be easy to make money on any series in this day and age, however, when people expect everything to be free online (which is what TV always was, too).

So I watched this week's ST: Discovery. I like it and I hope it stays on. But the storylines are too complex. And now in the ST universe as a whole we've had three different Spocks, three different Amandas, and three different Captain Pikes. They need more originality.
