For more fun recaps!!

I have started discovery. I didn't know Michelle Yeoh was in it!!

Biomecha · Posted 08-08-2022, 07:55 PM

I need to see if he does any other shows currently.

Yes, she is! Also did you notice any episodes written by Bryan Fuller in Voyager? I don't think he got to do much writing for Discovery, but he at least helped start it and pushed for it to be more inclusive.

mdom · Posted 08-08-2022, 08:26 PM

Yes! He also did some stuff for ds9.
I really dislike the fact that she's called Michael...

Biomecha · Posted 08-08-2022, 08:51 PM

Let my know if it's worth keeping up with Discovery. I think I got through most of the first season.

Yeah, at least she was cast though. It sounds like it almost didn't happen when they let go of Fuller.

mdom · Posted 08-08-2022, 08:59 PM

oh yeah an asian woman and a black woman with the most screen time in the two first episodes? No wonder there are complaints of 'being too woke' |D

Biomecha · Posted 08-08-2022, 10:12 PM

And it's weird when there are aliens from other planets.

Have you seen The Orville?

mdom · Posted 08-08-2022, 10:22 PM

No, I haven't!
Is it good?

Biomecha · Posted 08-08-2022, 10:37 PM

I liked the first couple of seasons well enough. Not that great though. Having a hard time getting into the 3rd season, so I only saw a couple so far. He did seem to be trying to make it more like Trek and less humorous than the first 2 seasons.

mdom · Posted 08-08-2022, 10:57 PM

oooh is it a comedy? That's interesting...

Biomecha · Posted 08-08-2022, 11:03 PM

Yeah, but it has serious moments. It does try to focus on moral dilemma the way Star Trek used to. But it's not over the top with the comedy, at least not what you would expect with MacFarlane.

I think I saw a comment about trans issues in orville? But that anti trans people thought it was anti trans, but trans advocates thought it was pro trans.

Biomecha · Posted 08-08-2022, 11:21 PM

There is a storyline involving trans aliens, it did seem pro trans at first but it got kind of complicated and probably could have been handled better. I don't remember enough details now. Also they originally aired the first episodes out of order.

mdom · Posted 08-08-2022, 11:25 PM

Oh that must've been pretty confusing then, to air it our of order @_@

Biomecha · Posted 08-08-2022, 11:44 PM

It wasn't too bad. The higher ups apparently though the other episodes would be better to start with. I don't know how anyone can think that's a good idea though.

mdom · Posted 08-09-2022, 06:43 PM

When it's totally episodic it's ok, but if you have even 2 episodes that depend on each other... it's... weird.
I already miss Michelle Yeoh...

Biomecha · Posted 08-09-2022, 09:00 PM

They might have re-edited so it would be less confusing, but I'm not sure.

I've already forgotten most of what happened.
