I am too, well the old Treks I haven't seen anything of the new treks I wanted to like Star Trek Discovery because I like Michelle Yeo, I didn't even make it through the first episode before I turned off my tv in disgust.
I did that too…. Then I went back later and tried again. It’s as bad as you think in regards to pushing homosexuality, multiple genders, etc…. But so is everything on tv now. I don’t let my kids watch any of that but I’ve kind of learned to tune it out or often use FF to skip it so I can take in the larger story. Once I did that, I got hooked and binged through it. Every once in a while they throw you a bone and have a strong male character or include some male+female love. Treasure those moments 😜
I made it through S1 and Michelle Yeoh (and the captain who sort of replaced her) were the only good things about that show. She also comes back later in the mirror universe. Maybe you can find a clip that only shows her scenes.
Agreed, he seems to be reading a script. Love the gravitas of his voice though, something about the intensity in his voice.
It does raise the one element I disliked about TNG that I didn't quite recognize until semi-recently when I tried to convince my wife to give the show a chance. Especially in the first seasons, it's like they were performing a broadway play but as a TV show.
I find that to be the case with a lot of first seasons. I think Deep Space 9 sort of embraced the theatrical roles especially with Quark and Odo, although all the Ferengi were such good character actors that I didn't mind it. I just couldn't stand the actress that played Jadzia her acting was so horrible that I was actually happy when the character died lol.
Kate Mulgrew stepped into her role as captain fairly quickly so the rest of the actors did as well on Voyager, so the cast slipped into their roles fairly well. The Tom Paris actor though ugh, but the actress who played Bellana made up for his shitty acting.
I guess none of them can hold a candle to Shatner's overacting as Kirk lol. So I try to embrace the old Star Treks with their bad acting and just enjoy the shows.
I see what you are saying, but I really do think TNG was the worst offender in that sense. It was like when you go see a play, the people have to over-emphasize emotions so that even those in the back rows can get it.
If I were to guess is my general criticism of star trek vs Battlestar Galactica. Where Star Trek had roles that were far more robotic and like an idealization of what people in the future could be like, where Battlestar had a crew of people that are far more relatable.
Omg I love it! The orginal Q saying trust the plan.
I know he's probably just trolling but damn I love John De'lancy's Q
Sounds like he browses /pol/ too.
LOL
...or did someone from /pol/ pay him to read their script?
Imma go back and re read the Q drops in Q's voice / cadence just for fun.

Wait until you learn who has been talking to you here (, el capitan) Q (snap)
This made my week. AHAHAHA ...
Aww bummer that he was probably paid to read someone's script. For a brief moment, I thought a celebrity could actually be a closet Anon. Boo-Hoo...
Oh well. I still love it! At least he didn't refuse because he's an asshole.
Knowing Gilbert Gottfried, he wrote that one himself.
TGN?!..... /Doubt

What a fucked up timeline we are on right now.
What did it for me was the shiny Klingons, I just couldn't after that lol.
Yeah they've ruined and then killed it.
Long live Star Trek and STNG. And that's IT.
Star trek is for commies.
Who did Kirk replace?
A. Pike?
Kek

I will have to look for it.
Some of it I enjoyed.
Star Trek: Voyager is one of my favorite series though.
jIf they don't pull the same woke shit, I'd love to see a revival of Stargate... maybe even some feature films...
Stargate is my favorite sci-fy show of all time.
SG 1 and Atlantis I watched many times wasn't a big fan of Universe though
My namesake 😂🤣😂🤣😂❤❤❤❤❤

Yep I see what you mean. That's why I liked Farscape a lot because the characters were much more relatable.
Keep in mind they did a lot of their casting with stage actors.
Yes, I believe that's correct. This might be part of why so few Star Trek actors had any film success beyond the series.
