Star Trek: Discovery - Season 4 - (*** Spoilers***)

CW shows were pretty good for a while but they went on too long like the Arrowverse shows.
The 100, Nikita, Veronica Mars and iZombie are some examples of shows I really liked.

CW caters for a demographic for sure and as you point out when they strike, they're good shows worth watching. The 100 is a funny example because it started out achingly YA, but pivoted into Mad Max apocalyptic violence pretty quickly.

Yeah 100 went to the dark side very quickly.

The flash has gone on too long, just lost interest few seasons ago, same with Supergirl and Legends, or whatever they're called.

Yeah I was keeping count while watching and it was quickly going down from 100.

I used to.like Arrow and it started out great but they really should have finished it and 5 seasons because it has gone on far to long now and hot stupid. I hot bored of it ages ago. The same with Legends of Tomorrow as soon ad that all started to be about magic and religion I got bored of it.
I still watch Supergirl do and like the Flash still too even do it cam be very silly at times

The 100 had the problem of building a reputation, like Game of Thrones, of killing off characters. But also like Game of Thrones, once they got to a core set of characters, everyone was pretty safe with maybe the occasional big death.
Murphy was my favourite though.

Anyway, Star Trek Discovery. Another show where none of the main characters are likely to be killed off. Though that's more due to the fact there is only one main character and all her supporting characters.

On another note, was there ever any word about the Section 31 spinoff, or if it involves Michelle Yeoh?

Having a look online it seems sites are reporting it won't be seen until an existing series finishes.

Though I'd say they mean Discovery, Picard or Strange New Worlds rather than either of the animated series.

Seems strange they wrote Georgiou out without the planned series.
I guess they had other reasons.

Likely budget since she's a high-profile actress who was likely commanding a higher salary. CBS have been bleeding cash lately and may not have been able to continue paying for a character that was kind of supplemental to the series at this stage.

The mess room scene with Tilly referring to Georgeio has a "bad ass" seemed especially tone deaf to the relationship that character actually had with Space Hitler. Tilly should have been relieved that she was gone and would have been drinking in celebration to her departure. Tilly's speech felt like a bit of projection from the production who may have been hoping that audiences where actually fans of evil Geogeio, which may have also been one of the reasons for the 2-parter farewell (the other reason being an excuse to draw out a budget-saving bottle episode).

Oh.. more than I spotted with the "part human, part cardassian" .. actually Cardassian-Bajoran-Human and also:

Checked the wiki page for season 4 and it says this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Discovery_(season_4)

I'm just after finishing my first ever run through of S3 of Enterprise, the Xindi crisis, and to be honest I slightly prefer Discovery. But only slightly. I'll give my full thoughts on Enterprise on the relevant thread.

In the interest of balance and fairness I'll present to you the opinions of Trek Culture's Seán Ferrick who seems pretty optimistic about Discovery and for what it is. Comments on the video don't seem to be trolling much on Discovery either.

It really reminds me of some sort of orc or..... Just cannot put my finger on it.... But it's very very familiar looking.

Looks like something from Labyrinth or Dark Crystal to me but same as you it is really reminding me of something I just can't put my finger on

It's not much different to Grand Nagus or Moogie to be honest. What you also have to remember is the make up has to stand up to 4K TV scrutiny whereas DS9 hasn't been upscaled to 720 or 1080 yet.

They haven't announced he is like they did with the Cardassian/Bajoran/Human.

Ive tried being honest about the show and calling out it's good and bad equally but that season 4 trailer is a horrible montage of everything Discovery does wrong.

Yes it could be a mixed race Ferengi or a deformed one or some ethnicity of Ferengi we have not seen before but we won't know that unless Disco shows him with other Ferengi and Disco does not have a good reputation for this.

As stated in a post above I get some of the changes over the years especially to the aliens that were nothing more than blue paint or funny mustaches but this doesn't bring the Ferengi look forward one bit. It's just Fking with someone's work for the sake of it and for some reason keeps reminding me of when the took David Prowse out of the end or RotJ

Not far off with Farscape or one of those Sci-fi channel shows. I keep thinking Magog from Andromeda
