First they're too slow, then at the end they start trilling a bit? It's like they crossed them with the aliens from Enemy Mine. The followed that up with a heavily accented English, then a not at all accented English. Very strange!<br /><br />Having a two episode intro, then changing everything up again is foolish, because the next part will have to be yet another intro, and will also change up the feel of the show. It's a lot like the first 4 episodes of the anime Outlaw Star, in fact, they both killed the awesome female captain!<br /><br />The Klingons were too weak, too. It was immensely foolish for a Klingon warrior in space battle armor to accidentally stab himself with his own weapon. Come on! Batleths are completely foolish as it is, they really need to sell its dangerousness, and this doesn't help! <br /><br />Bronkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037864167096222349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-17068096729491006342017-09-27T09:07:15.838+00:002017-09-27T09:07:15.838+00:00Absolutely loved it myself, it felt like Star Trek...Absolutely loved it myself, it felt like Star Trek has finally been brought into the modern age. The tech update is not only a sensible choice, it was essential. Great characters (Saru in particuarly, excellent) and a compelling story line. It FELT like Star Trek, too, which was the most important thing to me.<br /><br />I agree that the new Klingons are an issue. The look is certainly off putting, but having them always speaking in Klingon becomes very tiresome due to how slowly they do it. That said, I do quite like the effort to make them a far more interesting species than the drunken "honourable" warriors that '90s Trek reduced them down to.LeftHanded Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356100685489177887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-33314456839737566632017-09-26T15:03:05.214+00:002017-09-26T15:03:05.214+00:00Why did they beam their captain and first officer ...Why did they beam their captain and first officer onto a Klingon war vessel? Was the plan seriously to have two 120lb women gun down an entire ship of Klingons?<br /><br />To further add insult to injury, I'm pretty sure they had six transporters and a room full of gun-toting grunts available for the raid one scene earlier.<br /><br />I was fairly pleased with the rest of ST:D (hopefully it takes some time to slow down and explore), but that one decision was so mind-bogglingly stupid it completely broke immersion.<br /><br />Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314718042663866972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-53285406203365594252017-09-26T00:59:03.501+00:002017-09-26T00:59:03.501+00:00So the first episode, the only one not behind a pa...So the first episode, the only one not behind a paywall, was actually the first half of a long episode? I'm so happy I didn't watch it; I would have been extremely upset! That's a pretty underhanded trick and the chance that I pay to watch the series just went to zero.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
