Let me make it simple, any Star Trek made before 2009 is real Star Trek which is every one of those you mentioned.
If you're into young teen melodrama like Dawson's Creek or Vampire Diaries then all Star Trek made from 2009 to the present is for you but that is not real Star Trek.
Though to be fair I did enjoy the second movie made in 2013, mostly because Benedict Cumberbatch gave such a compelling performance as Khan. It was perhaps the closest I have seen modern Star Trek come to being true to form. It still had a lot of melodramatic nonsense like Uhura and Spock's little lover's spat which was done very poorly for something in the Star Trek universe.
I can appreciate "J.J. Trek" films as their own thing, a sort of kaleidoscopic look at the original series spun out in a different way. There is a lot that bothered me about their altered take on it all but also a lot to enjoy. I view them as something between "Galaxy Quest" and actual "Star Trek."
Yea this is pretty much my take on the films. They are not that bad but certainly not what I'd call true Star Trek.Quote:

One of the brilliant things about classic Star Trek shows is that it often challenged the viewers to think about the things we take for granted in new and interesting ways. Everyday things like love, hate ,conflict, family, religion, duty, responsibility and morality. Modern writers lack the sophistication to produce works that tackle these topics in interesting ways. The writers for The Orville are the sole exception.
I see Dave Cullen is backtracking a little now on "Picard" S3. Waffling pretty hard actually. So as I said I'll probably watch it if made available this side of the paywall, at least the first few episodes.
I guess we still have the Picardroid but "er, they were stuck with it, just live with that now." Cullen does more tap dancing than that as well: weird Worf behavior ("ignore that"), swearing ("not as much"), angry women ("not quite as angry now"), etc.
Poor Dave. He doesn't enjoy being caught with his hand in the till.
The Orville's are holy.
Are there any Orvilles that aren't kind of weird?
Maybe not, though some are more drug-fueled nightmares than others:Quote:

Yup, you got it right...Quote:

Code:var i_set_layout = function () {
var strName = "";
var wesRM = $('#acs-reader-message');
$(g_objGMaker[gmOffset].gmProperties.strSelectFilter).show();
$(g_objGMaker[gmOffset].gmProperties.strFilterPanel).show();
$(g_objGMaker[gmOffset].gmProperties.strWindow).hide();
strName = i_get_name(gmOffset); //g_GMWorker.get_name()
wesRM.html(strName);
};
var i_set_sum = function () {
var x = 1;
x += 1;
};
var i_clear_sort = function (i1) {
i_set_reader_info(i1, "", true);
g_objGMaker[i1].gmProperties.settingsObj.selectedcols.length = 0;
};
var i_set_columns = function (ggmOff) {
var wesId = $(g_objGMaker[ggmOff].parentInfo.parent);
var blnOriginal = (g_objGMaker[ggmOff].parentInfo.original || false);
var blnReader = (g_objGMaker[ggmOff].parentInfo.reader || false);
var blnNonOriginalReader = !blnOriginal && blnReader;
var intGO = (!blnNonOriginalReader ? g_objGMaker[ggmOff].parentInfo.baseGO : g_objGMaker[ggmOff].parentInfo.GO);
var allColumns = g_objGMaker[ggmOff].gmProperties.settingsObj.columns; //g_objGrid[intGO].getColumns();
var newColumns = [];
var blnUse = false;
if (!(g_objGMaker[ggmOff].gmProperties.hideCols || false)) {
g_objGrid[intGO].setColumns(allColumns);
} else {
for (var i = 0; i < g_objGMaker[ggmOff].gmProperties.settingsObj.colsel.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < allColumns.length; j++) {
if (allColumns[j].field == g_objGMaker[ggmOff].gmProperties.settingsObj.colsel[i].field) {
blnUse = true;
break;
}
}
if (blnUse) {
newColumns.push(allColumns[j]);
}
}
g_objGrid[intGO].setColumns(newColumns);
}
};
That's a bit serious for the Post Race.
I was thinking of the Orvilles that I have heard of. There's Wright, Redenbacher...and that's about it.
This is a shame...too bad. This was such nice site for so long. Maybe Chit Chat needs shut down? But...I guess the other forums are susceptible to this kind of mischief. Sigh:(
Are you objecting to the Orvilles? The other forums aren't susceptible to Orvilles.
Do people want to bet on the Super Bowl? I'll be willing to place a bet by sometime this evening. By then, I expect to have made up my mind as to who will win.
At this time, I'm willing to bet that it won't be Dallas, or Cleveland, but that's about it.
Also, have people heard that Philadelphia is greasing their lamp posts? I hadn't heard about that until this year, but apparently it's a real thing.
Seems like it might be self defeating. After all, doesn't that just make it a challenge?
Fans in Philadelphia seem to go wild regardless of win or loss, day or night. I've heard of the lamp post trick before. Us frustrated Giants fans simply do not understand this behavior...
