I want to like this show but the characters are just so lame.
I grew up with Star Trek New Generation and captain Picard was just great. But these guys all feel like really bad actors.
I found myself wanting them to stop talking or get killed in the show. They are so triggering bad. Nobody else feels like that?
Anyone in particular? I don't feel taken out of the story by the acting.
I sometimes think the writing is a bit too obvious, but I guess its hard to come up with something original in a universe with this much content. The actors seem believable to me. I enjoy it because Captain pike feels like the captain, a captain Riker would be.
I think it's hard to describe why we don't like something. I think part of it is because of the annoying personalities. But they won't be annoying to you, or you would have picked up on it by now.
I think most people seem to like the show. It's doing better than Picard I think, which was also crap in my opinion.
I did like the Orville though, because it did have some actually funny scenes and decent stories.
The choice to make spock a "Big Bang Theory" Sheldon comic relief was very bad, for example.
I'm only on the end of season 1 but it's so super cheesy. He basically went "let anger into my heart", then proceeded to hit the wall a few times, and now he can't control his emotions anymore.
It's so teenage level, all of this. They could have created something great here but they clearly didn't care, and just put C level actors everywhere and hoped the audience wouldn't notice how bad it is.
The previous episode was about how the entire ship became like in the book the doctor was reading, followed by some horrible acting from the entire crew.
Yeah I guess I don't know why I am watching anymore. I shouldn't.
I watch it with my kids. They love it, the cheese doesn't bother me through their eyes.
Yes makes sense. Then its a different thing and you can just be happy that they are happy.
Honestly, I thought the first season of TNG was crap. IMHO, they didn't hit their stride until into the second season, and even nostalgia can't suppress the overwhelming cringe and bad direction of S1. The acting is wooden, the scripts awkward... and it wasn't the actors' fault. I don't think DS9 had that many treething problems, and while I never learned to like Voyager, at least out came out of the gate polished.
Anyhoo, maybe it's just finding its legs?
aha!
