LD s3e6 “Hear All, Trust Nothing”
After I thought I couldn’t care less about Star Wars anymore, I was recommended Maul - Shadow Lord and I only can forward this recommendation so far. It’s a well crafted crime show made in the gorgeous Star Wars animated series art style with an impressive titular character during the transitional period from Republic to Empire.
I second this. We just finished it and it was spectacular. I’m already looking forward to watching it again but with headphones so I can enjoy the sound effects 100%.
Thanks for the tip. I do enjoy that style and I’m assuming he’s still voiced by Sam Witwer?
Your assumption is correct.
Soon I’ll be 2 seasons behind on For All Mankind and I’m thinking about a rewatch of some or all of DS9 instead.
Or Farscape, I think I’m overdue for a Farscape run.
I think I’ll rewatch lower decks.
How many rewatch the original btw? I kinda consider myself a trekkie, but I still haven’t even watched the original show and movies.
Also I’m putting off Outlander, Daredevil Reborn, From and others for now. Just rewatching DS9 and other 80’s-90’s trek.
Did a full runthrough of TOS last year, as there were a handful I’d not seen. Definitely a product of its time, in both budget and sensibility (progressive though it was). View them like a stage play or podcast series. It helps.
The first film is pretty, but dull. The others are more fun.
Thanks. I’ve been mostly listening to the 80’s 90’s Trek as well, because I’ve seen it so many times. Maybe I’ll try that with the original as well, even though I haven’t seen it.
After getting access to my dad’s P+ account I finally decided to try out this nuTrek stuff. Before that, I was able to watch the first couple seasons of Discovery, a couple episodes of Lower Decks and some SNW.
I watched the final season of Disco…it was straight trash.
I watched most, if not all of SNW…it’s pretty serviceable but I found it very try-hard sometimes and can’t really balance quips and humor. It’s def the best of the bunch.
I tried watching 3 full episodes of Lower Decks back-to-back-to-back…the most it got was 1 smirk. The humor fell flat, it felt very forced and borderlined on slapstick. I knew this going in but even with an open mind I genuinely could not enjoy it.
Season 1 of Lower Decks missed the mark and tried too hard to be bog standard “Adult Animated Comedy” but it really improved in the following seasons. And not even so much because it became much funnier, but because they actually toned down the comedy a bit and pivoted into making it a decent Star Trek show on its own. Most of the comedy after that sorta centered around teasing about Star Trek tropes and poking fun at some of Old Trek’s more goofy episodes.
I think it was S2 where I started with the LD marathon.
