Honestly? It's pretty solid. The last episode felt like Trek to me ith the concept of the wish fulfilling planet. Nothing that's wowing me, but I'm not the target audience for it
No, that's a boring explanation. Remember that time Worf was crippled when a barrel fell on him? Those things weren't even secured, they were just neatly stacked on some high shelves. The Federation designs their ships around the assumption that the artificial gravity will never fail.
Worf’s back was like the life support systems on the Enterprise, though, always failing at the slightest impact.
I like the show so far. Just seen the first two episodes, But, even though it’s made for kids it’s still trek and follows the same rules. I like it. Two thumbs up.
The STNG tech manual, explains that the gravity plating can sustain artificial gravity for a while after power is lost to the gravity plating. I haven't read it in years, closer to decades, but the gravity plating generates gravity by spinning, and it keeps on spinning after power cuts out and takes a while to slow down. The DS9 technical manual explains that Cardassian gravity plates vibrate at a high speed.
I'm not a huge fan of the animation style (looks like something an amateur with too much time on their hands cooked up in Source Filmmaker, with weirdly unrealistic movements in a lot of places), but it's fun.
Finally watched the latest episode, it felt very much like a typical Star Trek episode, but mostly reminded me of TOS.
I mean...there's the Miles O'Brien version with pattern buffers, phase transition coils, imaging scanners, blah, blah, bah... Or the quickie version- "Touch the three bars, and swipe upward like they're switches".
Ahah! The magic triple-warp of the Protostar is actually powered by a protostar! ....and now we have to wait 'til January 6th for the next episode.
A belligerent faction led by an orange looking Tellarite tries to stop the election of the Federation president.
Not bad! First off, Dal was so much less annoying this week, and I sincerely hope this is the direction in which he continues to travel. Gwyn redeems herself nicely, and it's clear she has formed bonds with the crew. The betrayal by her father was the complete eye opener, which I expected, and in this case it works. Predictable isn't always bad, because I liked Gwyn. Something about her character from the start appealed to me, and it's good to see her pushing away from the influence of the figure she's held up for so long. Jakom-pog had the best lines this episode. Well, almost, because I think Larry's a fine name for a planet, Rok-Tahk. We get to see Janeway clean house, and by damn that felt good. I swear I could hear Kate Mulgrew smile as she said it, because that was *pure* unfiltered Janeway. Makes me want to go watch some of my favorite VOY episodes. So the Protostar isn't just the name of the ship, it's the actual protostar being contained in a warp chamber that apparently enables some kind of hyperwarp. That's metal AF, though I have to wonder, considering the history of containment breaches on Federation starships, just what might happen in a real battle. I'm sure we'll find out at some point. Let's see... any cons? Not really. Writing was good, visuals very good, characterizations feel natural, story kept me interested. The only slightly cringe moment was the constipation/constellation line. It doesn't bother me in itself, I mean hell, who doesn't get that every so often? It's more that I would not expect Gwyn, someone so exceptionally capable and intelligent, to mix up astronomical terminology for gastronomical terminology. They need to let me write for this show. I have so many more of these. Speaking of the show itself, it's growing on me! Yeah, it's primary aim is children, but like other shows I enjoy, it has enough meat on it for adults to get something good out of it, and to be entertained by it while not wishing for the sweet embrace of death. This episode gets a very good 8/10.
The scientist Captain Janeway would never have disabled something identified to her as "protostar containment" without a better understanding of the situation, and neither should a hologram modeled after her personality. I know it's a nit-pick of a kid show for which I am not the target audience, but that bothered me a bit.
I got partway into the last episode and was like, "This thing just seems like a bad retread of Galaxy Quest" and quit. You're gonna have to give me the hard sell if you want me to watch.
I gave up after the premiere, but trust me, this episode is worth it. No spoilers. I got spoiled just enough to bother to watch it, and I can only imagine how much I'd have enjoyed it going in completely ignorant.
Yeah, so given the fact that I can't stand "The Trouble With Tribbles" I'm not seeing a reason to watch. YMMV.
Are you FF's dual? Saying "Just watch the video" when I've explained that the references you've made don't exactly inspire me to want to do so are exactly as helpful as FF posting a video with no commentary when asked what he thinks about things. You said without any other information. Given that , that's not exactly helpful information. You want to get me to watch it, then post why, in raw, throbbing details, because I don't give a goddamn about spoilers. If a story is written well, then it doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, I'll have a reaction to it. I've watched TWoK hundreds of times, and no matter what, when I see Kirk spin around to look at the science station after Bones says, "Jim, you better get down here. Better hurry." I always respond with "Oh shit," because I've been so engrossed in the movie that I've forgotten that Spock's about to die.
