Star Trek: High School Polycule…? Is that where we’re going?
I’m so confused
“High school polycule” would mean a never ending source of drama
What the fuck am I seeing?
My boy! Look at what they’ve done to you!
Good summary of my expectations, but let’s give it a fair chance first.
Even if it’s the best Trek ever made, the reaction to the poster will stand.
I can’t even tell if this is real any more.
We already had Star Trek Last of the Summer Wine with Picard, and a live action Lower Decks so anything is possible.
I’m really starting to believe.
Please don’t make it a generic US high school drama. There’s already enough US-defaultism in Star Trek.
Also, the image is glossy, it feels like AI generated
There’s no way those actors posed for that image at the same time.
They are real glowy but the Klingon has a near mirror sheen going.
I thought it was an AI head swap too…
Hopefully more of a community colleges vibe
So shiny that it’s uncanny
Never cared about Star Trek, but my god this is going to suck. Like ROP levels of suck if not more.
Smiling Klingons? He looks like he doesn’t even care about honor!
He doesn’t, he works for Paramount.
and a science cadet at that.
Maybe we will finally see some of the supposed non-warrior Kjngons
like Alexander?
is it me or did they change Klingon physiology yet again?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure they were incapable of smiling before now.
32century stuff. Everyone is a little bit of everything, so make-up gets to be whatever.
They are part Jem’Hadar.Wrong character.Omg I hope that’s not a thing. Canonically Jem’Hadar can’t reproduce
I mean, it has been like 800 years. It’s not a stretch for that limitation to be overcome.
After the dominion war, why would the founders not only continue making Jem’Hadar, let alone changing them to include the existence of a second gender and ability to reproduce sexually?
a) why would they stop? Just because you lost one war doesn’t mean you dissolve your entire military.
b) perhaps the Jem’Hadar at some point seized control of their own cloning facilities and made the necessary changes. Or the Founders eventually turn over a new leaf and grant them autonomy. 800 years allows for any number of explanations.
Even better, there’s a female Jem’hadar. We see her in the first trailer.
Wait wait, what? I missed that
Isn’t that character a Tellerite/Klingon hybrid or something?
Or rather multiple characters of varying hybrid-ness.
I guess we can call it tradition at this point…?
Paramount: We need to ensure this new show attracts as many people as possible while maintaining a strong identity of Star Trek. How can we hit those points with the Ad campaign?
Marketing: Well our focus groups are saying that a lot of Star Trek fans are still yearning for something closer to the aesthetic of 1990’s Star Trek
Paramount: I zoned out there for a bit but I did hear aesthetic of 1990’s. Make that the core of advertising!
It’s not even the aesthetic we want; it’s the writing style.
It’s not even that, it’s the feeling we had when it was the 90s/00s and the good Star Treks were new…ish
It’s not even that, it’s Avery Brooke’s powerful voice and Patrick Stewart’s piercing eyes as they confront one another for the first time, the briefing room filling with tension as Sisko’s barely contained rage breaks against Picard’s steely reserve, knowing both are just surface defences covering the hidden hurt they reach feel, both victims of the same implacable foe, both denying themselves the comfort of…
We’re all nostalgic for the same things here, right? Yes? No?
It’s really hard to beat Picard. He’s already seen everything
All I can imagine is “dumb as hell”
At this point I’m just accepting that we’ll have to sit through 3 bad shows to get 1 good one. I guess I’m okay with that as long as they keep cranking them out.
The more I see of this the more I realize that it’s probably not going to be for me. That’s fine, I’ll give it a try anyway.
I’m hopeful due to the presence of Tig Notaro, Paul Giamatti, Robert Picardo, Stephen Colbert, Oded Fehr, etc
Those are all the people and characters I want to see. Where is their poster?
As long as the Ellison’s control Star Trek it will never have a return to form. So this will be as bland as SNW S3 was when Fascism is taking hold all over the world. I feel classic Trek would have something to say about that.
I debated coming in here and saying I wasn’t going to watch this due to Paramount and Ellison, but I decided I wouldn’t. But now here I am, saying it.
Make Captain Pike kiss a trans woman damnit. Make a fucken statement! It matters that our media does this.
Not sure if this is real or just a piss-take.
Reminds me of this old meme:
