I agree on the cliffhangers, sometimes unnecessary ones, but I find its plot to be one of the most consistent I watched (especially over 200+ episodes in 10 years), both compared to its contemporary shows and to modern ones.
Sure, many aspects are conveniently hidden behind unrevealed misteries and mistic rules, but it was done in a way that is still enjoyable and that didn’t feel overly forced.
I think that even the best writer in the world cannot find a satisfying reveal of 10 years worth of secrets build-up.
I think the final was the perfect balance between tying all the loose ends and not fully explaining what the island is. (Or rather, they did in some way, they just left some bits to the imagination).
And to everyone thinking that the finale makes it so the entire previous seasons did not happen, sorry but you just didn’t get it.
The Reepublic of San Marino has been independent for a very long time, possibly since 301 ce, that would make it a 1700 years old country that never changed its form of government.
You probably get trasported in the middle of the Bell riots or just before the bombs start dropping
Didn’t know about that formula. Is it used behind the scene but never mentioned, or just used retroactively to explain the difference between the different series?
In Voyager and TNG it has been established that warp 10 is infinite velocity, that means the warp scale is not linear (the differencr between warp 9 and 8 must be higher than the difference between 8 and 7). After all, Voyager’s max speed of 9.975 is faster than Enterprise D’s 9.6.
Then again, warp speed has always been quite inconsistent, so who knows which scale they are using…
That’s pretty good you get disability for sleep dosorder. Not good that you can’t sleep of course, it’s good that your problem is getting a recognition.
I think the most “pirated” software ever would be WinRar. EVERYONE broke the terms of service by using it more than 30 days, and then simply closing the popup when it opened (and even if you found it annoying, there’s a simple licence file floating around that you can effortly use to get rid of the nag). Milions used it without paying the licence they should have, but WinRar didn’t care, because they are (were) ubiquitous and companies probably happily paid those licences for a software eveybody knew how to use.
Lucky he didn’t get a leaf transported in his brain
If there’s families and non-independent kids involved, a paternity test is just a way to set tje record straight, depending on how it’s handled, there could be no judgement. Remember that you know the truth, but others don’t, and you can always be sure of who is the mother, but not the father, and this is biological.
This is just weird. Why make these changes? Customers don’t want it, the company doesn’t profit and they actually lost money and reputation by doing this and not backtracking. Who is benefiting from this? It looks like a perfect lose-lose situation
You can have all the free time in the world, if you spend it all trying to have more, you don’t get to enjoy it.
I mean, it’s a gigantic million years old fossil, what can some touching do? It probably won’t even tip over
Everyone feels emotions. Emotional intelligence means being capable of recognizing your own emotions (or other people’s) and not let them rule you, but to let you rule them, so they can help you when necessary and not damage you.
About Pike’s hair, am I wrong or is vulcanian Pike’s hair even more erected than human Pike?
You are right, with 20+ episodes it’s easier to have a common theme while still being episodic enough to have episodes that don’t advance the plot but are either funny or explore some unrelated theme. 10 episodes season work for a serialized series (like discovery), but an episodic 10 episodes series is a hybrid of the two and more difficult to pull throught.
However, I still think they did a good job, the season was fun and enjoyable, and I don’t really care there’s no “big picture plot”. After all, this is not telling the voyage of a ship lost in the galaxy or a multi-year war with a foreign dominion, it’s a character build-up story that will eventually become the original series, it’s a prequel and doesn’t try to be anything else. Surely I enjoyed it more than galaxy-destroying-threat-of-the-year discovery.
Also, even if some more “experimental” episodes may be a little failed, I can surely appreciate the attempt and, even if more boring or over the top, at least they are memorable, si they have value.
Never seen boomer humor referencing furries, grindr and trans people. Usually it’s about bosses, mondays and taxes
The entire episode, while enjoyable, was prettt rushed, if it was split in a two-parts season finale they would probably fit in more explaination scenes, like at least an aknowledgement from Batel and some more explaining/exploration of what she was.
The villain is “evil itself”, I don’t really see a way to not make it one-dimensional, he is literally one thing only.
Since some extensions are “mozilla-approved”, I guess they test it regularly, it wouldn’t be hard to verify if one is really sending anything despite their disclosure.
