I’ve seen similar feelings from others and thought about it and damn, thinking back EVERY episode in the original seemed about “The Girl” lol (usually of a differing culture/species/race which could be seen pretty radical back then) and a good fight thrown in for good measure lol…..As well, I remember DATA and Tasha Yar getting pretty hot and heavy for a time so I’m not sure “tinman” is doing anything new, myself…this show’s just more campy so likely feels different….but these too are just my dumb-assed opinion, so I’ll leave it at that.
RoboPhone's comments
Thank you for sharing. Although no one is really talking about it, I feel the major issue with this show and ST Discovery stems form CBS. They own the rights for content and marketing of the Star Trek. Despite the fact that their recently defunct CEO was against Sci-Fi and Star Trek specifically. They entered into a contract with the old Viacom years ago and when Viacom changed ownership, a new Viacom emerged. Meanwhile Paramount had certain distribution rights for TOS and the Movies. CBS became so greedy, they went to court to ban any fan-based endeavor over 15 minutes in length. About the same time, The New Star trek movies were not allowed to use “canon” TOS, due to copyrighted concepts, so Abrams had to reinvent Gene Roddenberry’s universe with what they call the Kelvin Timeline. Fan-Based Star Trek Continues was already in post production, so was able to complete. But the ST alumni “Renegades” also had to remove any of the “Trek” from their Requiem Part 2. So much so, that it ruined the story and corrupted the franchise.
Meanwhile, CBS wanted to compete in the streaming platform market, as Netflix was so successful. That same now-defunct anti-Star Trek CEO, was the designated showrunner for CBS All Access. They boasted they could sell a new Star Trek and millions would gobble it up. Netflix was wooed and promised a huge return in their investment. Netflix reportedly financed the entire first season of Discovery.Then trouble behind the scenes began with writers being fired secretly and new ones being hired. The original concept was scraped, partially due to those copyright issues, while the rest was being changed constantly as the season went along. Mostly due to the viewers’ negative reactions. Secondly, due to the tremendous financial loss of Netflix capital, when CBS All-Access subscribers dropped like flies, cancelling their subscriptions. Millions of potential revenue losses, culminated in the firing of the CEO and new writing staff brought in.
So, that’s a little insight into why discovery was not received well. It’s simply not the Star Trek we all grew up with.
Meanwhile Seth McFarlane, a real Trecker, had the notion to create an alternate reality form of Star Trek. No copyright, merchandising, or distribution conflicts to deal with. So, he deftly melded the best of Star Trek TOS,TNG and others. Then sprinkled it with some of his wacky humor. And It worked! (imo)
What I think some folks want is that heavy-action melodrama like when The Borg attacked the Enterprise, Voyager, and even Picard himself. I enjoy those thrill rides. But that can burn you out if it’s the only course on the menu day after day. SO, I find it refreshing to watch Orville for some lighter Sci-Fi. I do enjoy Discovery for the potential apocalyptic consequences it offers as well.
I believe I am successful of doing so without conflict as I am also a Whovian. For those who aren’t, I refer to Doctor WHO, a British Sci-Fi show since the 50’s. It’s about a charismatic time traveler called the Doctor. He does not die. Instead, every so often, he must regenerate. When that happens, a new persona is revealed. In the real world, it’s a new actor. So, essentially, they reinvent the series each time, where it’s just a tad different than the previous. But it’s still the Doctor. That’s why it’s persevered so many years.
But that’s how I view the different incarnations of Star Trek. As long as they follow Gene Roddenberry’s philosophy, I can live with that.
Thanks for reading. I hope it was informative and helpful.
Live Long sad Prosper!

Live long and prosper my friends! Thanks again for these great uploads!
Well Put. As the Ferengi say when greeting someone to their home, “My house is my house. And so are it’s contents.”
Can we get some links please, Matt King from Peep Show is a crack-up..
Randall, I am not sure if anyone else told you this during the last 8 months that you’ve been complaining about NO links in Comments, but the Content Team does NOT Monitor Comments for Link Requests.
However, you can easily visit them HERE instead.
Please use that method going forward.
It will increase your chances immensely.
Thanks!
VIEWER’S NOTES:
(1) Stay Tuned after the credits (1:06) for a Behind The Scenes Look at the Story so far.
(2) This Episode merely marks the mid-season finale, in which the season consists of 12 episodes.
At the moment, HBO has yet to confirm an official return date of the remaining six-episodes.
More updates will be forthcoming.
Why the hell did cbs cancel deep space nine
Jesus Christ this show is absolutely shit
DS9 ended and completed the story arc for Ben Cisco. So did Voyager. Shame about Enterprise, but at least they wrapped it up to some sort of conclusion. TNG got to extend their story in the movies. As to Discovery, it’s extremely complex power struggle between CBS, Viacom and Paramount. You can get in depth details on YouTube videos by Midnight’s Edge.
Or read my explanation on the Orville Comment Page. Hopefully it will shed light on some of the reasons for this Star Trek version.
Fear not fans, for not only has The Boys already been confirmed for Season 3, but there will also be a New “Super” hero joining the cast as Solider Boy!”
Wondering if there’s a way to tell if some links have the subtitles or not? I don’t speak Klingon, unfortunately.
Thanks for the great links, though! Loving this one already.
Get ready for a One-Two Punch!
Season 3 of Cobra Kai premiered at its new
streaming home on Netflix, Friday, Jan. 1, 2021.
If that didn’t knock your socks off, this will.
Cobra Kai has already been renewed for a Fourth Season!
Ka-Pow!
Brilliant, atmospherically creepy TV Series that went over the producers head enough to cancel it before a second season could continue this eerily devilish gothic tale of supernatural evil.
“Someone’s at the door.”
Great show!!!! No links.

Thank You for your cooperation!
This sleeper series is actually a wonderful continuation of the Karate Kid movie franchise of the ‘80s. From the reunion of the original cast members and production values to the depth of the storyline, this series quickly immerses us back into their lives.
Thank you for thinking of me Robo, very thoughtful of you. However, I’m gonna wait for the DVD version. But, if you happen to remember to notify me then too, I’d be grateful for it.
Will Do. No concurrent streaming service release is scheduled for this feature. We should expect to see a worthy HD version w/o Asian Subtitles within 4 months.
Awesome predecessor of the Supernatural Criminal Investigator TV Series Genre!
The Theme song alone, inspired Chris Carter’s X-Files!
This series was the culmination of two previous Made-For TV Movies:
The Night Stalker, which introduces us to Carl Kolchak, and
The Night Strangler, where his obsession for the macabre really gets a tight grip on him. In all, these are Must See Cult Classics!
Thanks uploaders for restoring these Links for all to enjoy!
4/5 . (edit) did we ever get a Banderas movie without the accent ? Hugginn Robo - why did you leave ?
Agreed, Nox! Another sleeper in this Blade Runner style of future technology evolving faster than human advancement can adapt to.
Very subtle and nuanced performance by Antonio Banderas, whose character gets caught in the middle of something unexpected, causing him to reevaluate his own morals and values.
I wish they would have made a part-2 to this movie! A TV series would be nice too!
for what this is supose to be .. its a bit to Drama to slow
Just be patient, pal! This season is an origin story, where we see the individuals before they became a team. Good Character build up. Same as with Titans. I will admit, I too want to sem some action, but know it will eventually be epic.
Must see cult classic sci-fi film noir. It’s moody. It’s oddly erotic at times It’s got David Bowie! Pass the popcorn, please!
5/5 Excellent dark and gritty Crime Drama and sadly, final performance from screen legend Patrick Swayze, who was battling cancer during production.
RIP Patrick. You are missed.
Brilliantly dark and intense Doctor WHO spin-off finds Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and his team secretly battling alien forces bent on Earth’s destruction.
Exciting Holmesian adventure starring Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things fame as the titular character.
Catch a Sneak Peek HERE!
An instant cult classic, and the follow up movie serenity finalizes everything.A must watch to me.
You’re absolutely correct, Fin! The party’s not over until you watch the epic final movie SERENITY

Long anticipated update to the 1994 Stephen King Classic, The Stand miniseries.
This is the event of the year for anyone who went to school with a copy of Stephen King’s 800-page novel weighing down their backpack. There’s plenty of thinkpieces on the themes of weaponized viruses and opposing forces of good and evil.
