This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

It was so boring and WTF was with that robot on the bridge? The Klingons looked like they were wearing plastic masks. The captain was monotone and none of the crew other than Saru were memorable. Obviously, Number One was memorable for her actions and being annoying, but other than that... The opening music, credits, etc. were far from inspiring. This show doesn't know what it wants to be.

Quote from: Biscuitician;995724You're welcome to disagree, you just haven't actually watched the show in order to do so.

Like I said, stupid, I'm not going to pay $ to watch an hour of TV that should be free when the long-ass previews looked like utter shit. You'd have to be a moron to do so. Then again, you are.

Then why are you posting in a discussion about a tv show you haven't watched?

If you two can't get along then I suggest you block each other.
Click username, then view profile, then add to ignore list.

CBS has it! S new ''GIMME' GIMME! GIMME! '' channel where you pay to view AND get barraged by commercials.  Disney is taking everything from Netflix and movie it to it's own ''GIMME! GIMME! GIMME! '' channel.  Everybody is starting their own little ''GIMME! GIMME! GIMME! '' channels to squeeze a few more nickls out of the American public's ever more strapped hands.

Corporations love to figure out ways to give people less and less money, and how to stop people getting money by suing them when they wrong people.  Meanwhile they are always working on a new scam to get more and more money out of people. Fees,  penalties,  hidden charges,  new 'services' that you used to already get but now hage a new 'fee'. Adding advertising to every fucking thing in sight.

Fuck capitalism. I'm sick of it.  After seeing the real problems of capitaliam I no lo get fear socialism.

Guys don't make these posts in the regular forums. You can do this in the Pundit forum until your heart is content or until he closes the thread down, but don't bring it here, the general forum, etc.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;995747I really am hearing good things about this show from people whose opinions on these things I trust. But that paywall is kind of annoying. I may just wait for the first season to come out on DVD or Bluray, that way, I at least have something physical if I am putting down money to watch.

It is good, just keep in mind it is own thing in using the Star Trek Mythology. It not as good as the Expanse and I am glad that the Orville is available as an alternative. But it was worth my time watching and I am planning to see what happens next. The third and fourth episode will be crucial as the end of the 2nd changed things up for the main character.

I will say it is definitely something new and different for Star Trek.

As for the subscription service, I don't have cable and for the last couple of years I bought the season pass  off of Amazon Video including the Big Bang Theory. So by subscribing to CBS-All Access I save a little in the budge I allocate for streaming. But this may not be true for everybody.
