How Star Trek Discovery Season 5 Connects to Next Generation! - Star Trek Discovery 5x01 + 5x02

[@handyatmusic]

A TV show like Star Trek Next Gen. obviously isn't going to have a huge budget for make-up and costumes, so viewers accept that most new alien species turn out to be, as the joke says, the forehead of the week. I remember when "The Chase" episode first aired and thinking it was a lame way to try to explain why many of the new species they encounter are, amazingly, bipeds 5 to 6 feet tall with two eyes, two ears, and mouth with shiny white teeth, in roughly the same places as ours. It would have been better not to touch that obvious limitation in the show's design rather than attribute it to some bizarre kind of galactic seeding. A moldy fragment of ancient DNA from our galactic mom can reconfigure a tricorder to play her message? What? And now, apparently the entire fifth season of Discovery is going to be built around that episode's premise which was lame to begin with? Hmm.

Only good when Lorka and Pike.

@@TheMoneypresident No no no. Those characters were good. They didn't make the show good, though. Then Pike drops the ball in SNW but I'm pretty sure that's not Anson Mount's fault because he's actually a pretty good actor.

Yeah they ripped off unification and the chase two of my Favorite episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation this is the reason why Star Trek Discovery is nothing more than utter garbage

[@MrMikellsof88]

"This is A reason..." There are many, MANY reasons.
