Time loop?! How not original. There's nothing they aren't copying from TNG? Oh wait, maybe it'll guest star ground hogs and Bill Murray as a new kind of Klingon?
Time loop episode! Come on!
Ride space spores! Come on!
Holo decks! Come on!
Mind melds by humans! Across space mind melds! Double triple come on!!!!
How many Star Trek series have you watched? Just TNG? Every ST series has episodes messing with time. It's one of the things I've always liked about the franchise. And TNG didn't invent the idea of the time loop.
shareI've seen everything. And if you can't see what the issue is, your not s fan anywsy.
shareHow about we put the pointless no true Scotsman fallacy aside and try to be specific. Once again, why should TNG have a permanent lock on time loops that no present or future ST franchise can supposedly ever touch? Time loop storylines rock. I've tried out every variation of time loop story I could since the late 80s/early 90s. Explain exactly where the problem lies. If you need to watch the ep first, I'll wait.
shareYou are missing the point. The issue isn't a specific over done copied plot. It's that this show has absolutely no continuity with any other Star Trek show. This is a prequel before Kirk but has a holo deck introduced on Picard's ship in TNG. Basically this show is just a online stream service launch commercial. Orville is better and more Star Trek then Discovery.
shareWhat point? I have yet to make sense of your complaint, or why you gave this thread a title that implies your biggest problem is time loops. You list some stuff you don't like, and then don't elaborate on any of it. There are definitely technologies in the series that we haven't seen an explanation for yet. That might be a deal breaker for you, but it doesn't affect the plot and characters, which is what most viewers care the most about. If you can't suspend your concern over this until you get more information like the rest of us have, then there's no point obsessing over it.
shareBlah blah blah
