The Klingons know how to tie their own shoes.

Hollywood has one of the lowest all-time Box Offices this summer.

But that was because of Hurricane Harvey/AGW, from what little I've read on the subject.

I gave up on ST long ago, having watched TOS in grade school.

I eventually watched the reruns of Enterprise, but that’s about it, save for maybe a handful of all the others combined.

I do peruse usenet’s rec.arts.tv, and here’s a link from August:

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/star-trek-new-captain-not-care-trekkies-article-1.3404011

I remember early Summer comments about whatever ST reboots as “It’s worse than we feared...”

Do the sets seem as cheap remastered, as they are unremastered?

I watched a few epis on a LPUHF cable channel about 10 years ago, and I thought, “Boy, I never realized how fake the sets were watching the original broadcasts as a kid”. Any of “desert planet fight scenes”, and the “tribbles” epi in particular.

At least they used painted plywood. I watched some Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers serials on TCM, and those sets were made with cardboard and a minimum of tape to hold them down...

I thought all Trekkies knew that acronym!

I am so ashamed...
Not trekkie enough, obviously.

On the other hand, I am not a twit. Never twitted once my entire life.

Really?
I just realized I can't recall if Klingons even wear shoes... They're tough suckers.

I just like the originals. When they first came out I watched them in black and white. Then ten years later I watched them in color. Now I am watching them for old times sake.

Somehow, I missed that one. Not sure I get the joke, either. Oy.

All three: Kirk, Spock, and Pres Lincoln, yes, Pres Lincoln, are looking at what appears to be a strange sight before them. Meanwhile, the pic below is of the actor who played Sulu marrying his gay partner. It's as if that is the strange sight they are looking at.

It was those guys own personal cash on the line

Corporate Hollywood is same folks but not their own cash

Plus those Jews except Zanuck who wasn’t....were closer to the boat and loved America even if a few harbored leftist views somewhere deep in their souls corners and they didn’t see us as a crime against humanity like so many domtodau

The bunch today are doctrinaire and using stockholder cash and nobody is brace enough to reel them in

Especially in TV

But he’ll you can’t really blame liberal secular except for Yom Kippur Jews in Hollywood alone....

Rare is corporate America that is not just as progressive

Hollywood is an echo chamber bubble full of creative poorly informed folks

And i hate to say it but anti Christian resentment is a big chunk of it

Behind ever Christian conservative is a Nazi waiting to be unleashed on them yet again

This is exactly how they feel or fear

And most goy progressives share that same perspective

Racial minorities jump in too

Substitute klan for Nazis

At some point we have to learn to ignore being called either

The White Heterosexual Couple on the left and the White Homosexual Couple on the right are sharing their Plates with their Partners.

It’s all very romantic.

Cough, cough... LOL

Main reason: they writers ‘forget’ what happened in the previous episode and move on to something equally silly.

As a Trekkie, I will not watch it. Hollywood is ruining everything. What will be next? ‘Leave It To Beaver’ with a gay Beaver and Gus (the firefighter) as a pedophile? Sick people in Hollywood...
