They’d also upstage his and the casts shoddy acting.
“...I think people watch good drama shows and they completely suspend their disbelief, they feel like they’re looking through the keyhole at another world, if you do it well enough.”
I think only children can suspend their disbelief like that nowadays. The rest of us know we’re watching Liberals pretending to live in a future where liberalism actually works despite reality.
Does anyone actually watch this PC crapfest anyway?
Actually been enjoying “The Orville”. It has comedic elements, but entertaining sci-fi episodes and a good cast.
Oh! THAT guy. If he were an American I would assume a different motivation. Hes English so he might mean it. Some of them seem to think acting is actually serious work.
And by chance, I happen to be watching TOS shows right now as the turkey is cooking.
Since Star Trek: Discovery is set years before the original Star Trek, it wouldn’t make any sense for characters from Star Trek to show up on Discovery.
I’ve watched it (via a friend - I refuse to pay for it myself). The anti-Trump stuff was pure virtue signaling by the cast and the story hasn’t even gone there. Which doesn’t make it good by any stretch of the imagination. They’ve reworked the Klingons as religious zealots which is the least of this series’ problems. There’s several prominent gay relationships by several prominent flamers just so you KNOW they’re gay. The main character is a human raised by vulcans who’s so liberal that she performs a mutiny on a gut feel which could’ve easily been wrong, fails, gets court martialed but her guess was right so she’s praised by everyone for being a go-getter and gets put in charge of a super sekrit project for her individualistic thinking and that’s just the first 4 episodes.
It’s a sillly series which has nothing to do with science fiction (the spore drive is a stupid concept that only Timothy Leary could dream up) and even less to do with Star Trek.
My friend dropped his sucscription before the finale so I’m cut off too. It’s no loss.
He has a point. This show stand on its own right now. Best to just let it continue IMHO.
I had my doubts after the first two (back to back) episodes but it cleaned up nicely.
I saw a little bit of one of those after the show shows with the female Kingon (with the scarred face) actor being herself. She had one of those laughs no one likes but puts up with. Kinda like fingernails on the chalk board laughs.
Some actors seem to be better people in their character roles than in their own real life persona.
It is part of the Star Trek Canon!
If he doesn’t like the Milieu, he should not have taken the job.
The new Star Trek is a lousy show. The actors do not help by not wanting the other actors from earlier shows on. Plus they all took a knee to support the NFL players support of cop killing.
I have not watched Discovery.
I have no particular fondness for this guy.
In fact what little I know of him, his politics stink.
But as for a critical analysis of the theatrical dynamic and the relation between the actors and audience, I don't think he could be more correct.
And I think the thing he's describing here has ruined many good shows. This is the insight of a person who actually views himself as a professional actor and has done due diligence in developing his own professionalism.

aren’t the originals way AFTER this crew? Would they appear as children?
