Which is why I specified for Star Trek. Like DS9, though it had a lot of good, it chipped away at the Roddenberry’s vision of the future, which I think was more scifi than DS9 and ENT were, so those shows didn’t contribute to the ST universe, but instead gave us things like Section 31.
That’s not true, they don’t ignore canon.
They go through great pains to deconstruct it, erase it, and just generally shit all over it.
If anything, Kurtzman was incredibly focused on canon and his desire to destroy it, and supplant it with his own version.
They canceled The Recruit, but kept this.
inb4 some morons comment “how many have YOU been in”.. it’s probably fair to say “star” probably is the operating term for “actor”
“Will & Grace” fans may remember Corey for his recurring part as Josh – one of Grace’s boyfriends – in five episodes of the hit sitcom
Yeah, no. No idea. But I’m probably not a real fan.
Rebecca is awesome and the premise interesting and I like slow TV but the first season just didn’t capture. Surprised that it can stretch for so many seasons
I liked season 1 but thought season 2 was too. Too many high stakes storylines happening concurrently
Yea, the Orville was really one of my favorite spiritual successors to Star Trek. He dropped it to work on Ted and is now dropping ted.
I love sci-fi and wish he would go back to Orville, it’s always a shame when they spend a few seasons building out an interesting universe, get past the superficial stuff and have compelling and well developed characters and societies in which you can tell interesting stories and then go, “well this is getting pricey, fuck it”
Netflix would do well to look at it as an IP to purchase. It’d be it’s own alternative to Star Trek and build up it’s SciFi offering.
That’s why it is on my maybe watch in the future list rather than watch now. I don’t do multi season shows anymore, since they take too long between seasons.
Hazel Wassername is 30 Rock. Her character was so out of left field and didn’t fit with anything in the show. It made me not want to watch anything with Kristen Schaal in it for years.
I love The Office. That was the first “adult” comedy I ever watched, and I’ve probably seen it more than any other show. I adore it.
That said, the arc where Jim moves to Stamford is boring. None of the characters are good, and Jim’s relationship with Karen is just not gratifying after the arc they had just concluded.
The arc where Andy quits his job is far worse. He just loses the plot all of a sudden at the end of the show. Catherine Tate is amazing at playing Nellie, but the character is just simply infuriating after she takes over as manager. Which sucks because I loved the Sabre Store storyline, and I really think it may be one of the last compelling and funny arcs before the leadup to the finale.
Had you seen Flight of the Conchords before 30 Rock?
