New Star Trek series - 2017

Some girls are call Alex (Alexandra), may be she is Michaela.

Or just a name, Michael.

Her actual name is Michael, its not a nickname or abbreviation. I thought she was being addressed by her surname at first, but her characters name is Michael Burnham.
 
Maybe her parents named her before they knew the baby would be a girl. :p


They probably had a cot engraved with the name Michael after an ultrasound told them it was going to be a boy, it turned out to be a girl and the parents said "**** that" to having to pay to get the name re-engraved. :p
 
Half watched this doing some bits on the laptop. Missus liked it but seemed lions share of the dialogue in Klingon (must have been nerd overtime to generate that much of a fictional language) with the tiniest sub-titles I have ever seen. I can forgive the shinier look to the tech but the capabilities should be no more than in the original. And why wasn't it possible to beam human remains when the transporter was routinely used to move inert cargo?

One of the alien crew members, looked a dead ringer for either a Narn or Drazi from B5!

James Doohan (scotty) came up with the basis of the Klingon language, far as i'm aware there is an actual language you can learn if you're as nerdy to be inclined :p
 
Already seen it, in previous treks they're usually addressed by their surnames so i naturally assumed it was her surname.

Or they scripted the character without a sex in mind, just a name, then cast someone that can pull it off, name regardless.
 
Stuck at 1080p, is that as good as it gets or is Netflix super busy? Isn't HDR on there usually 2160p?

Blimey, the ship looks more high tech than next gen by a mile!

Decent so far though...

Action - fantastic. Klingons - fantastic. CGI - fantastic. Michael - awful.

Just seems to be sort of "I'm special, I went to Vulcan school, I can break rules because daddy told me." She's so unlikable.

Awesome opener(s) aside from that. Maybe she gets better I dunno, but attacking the captain just to try and prove a point was dumb and wipes away all credibility.

She was right though.

LOL

According to Wiki, Fuller decided to give the character a male name, because he did that with female leads if his previous series. Other shows that aren't Trek, I assume; don't think Voyager or DS9 had female leads with male names. Either way.. odd.
 
1 thing that bugged me about the battle they take a hit in the first few seconds and get a hull rupture, yet the tactical guy says moments later that shields are at maximum and holding. Always been an issue in trek battles on the series though that shields rarely seem to do much.

Sounds were well done, on the bridge you can hear sounds from both TOS and TNG and they don't sound dated or out of place.

Yeah they got the sounds spot on for me. Always loved the next gen computer sounds and it was a pleasant surprise to hear them.
 
Enjoyable so far but I hope they can borrow some cameras from someone other than JJ Abrams as his are stuck in lens flare mode.
