I hate to be pessimistic but I’m dreading the hell out of this episode.
More than most episodes, I don’t think there’s much space between “home run” and “faceplant.”
Exactly! And this season to date has me tilted heavily toward “faceplant”.
I’m definitely enjoying the season more than you, but there’s a high degree of difficulty here nonetheless.
Yes, you clearly are then. If this episode is a dud I’ll have slid overall into Discovery levels (sorry DIS fans) of “I watch to be in my favorite universe for a hour and to keep up on the lore, but I have no expectation of being wowed by what I see” mode for the rest of the run, quite likely.
I think that I can almost enjoy how much people are getting bent out of shape by this on other social media. (I confess to scanning a few of the comments under that TrekMovie article.)
star trek is serious business
This episode better be at least on par with the musical episode, or I will be sad
If it manages that level I would consider it a minor miracle.
I like muppets, but the musical will be hard to beat. I’ll be happy if it’s as good as the fairy tale episode.
Ah yes, I remember that Angel episode. That was a creative idea, 22 years ago.
This isn’t even Star Trek’s first trip to the well.
Well, true. LDS played it well, though. Seeing how this is the second time that the SNW writers rip off old Joss Whedon episodes from the early aughts, I’m less forgiving.
My suscription is soon to end, I will not pay an entire month just to watch “31 minutos” or “The Muppets” in Star Trek.
I sound reasonable or sound like a hater?
