Star Trek: Discovery A new era has been pioneered for Gene Roddenberry’s famous series, which continues Picard and A strange new world. However, this jam era has been criticized by fans for many reasons, including that it is too violent and often relies on wonder rather than substance.
In this year’s Star Trek Las Vegas, legendary franchise producer Brannon Braga diagnoses Nutrek’s main problem: the new show has such short seasons and a long shooting schedule that it’s impossible for fans to build a close relationship with these stories and characters.
Brush on Captain Parker?
Braga tells a crowded room full of fans, most of whom are there “because you have with Traveler“a show “26 episodes per year.” He believes that this gives fans time to learn about the show, and Nutrek’s “Eight Episodes per Two Years” has never been fun.
As a fan of Golden Age Trek The next generation,,,,, Travelerand enterprise)I have always taken Braga’s view of franchise very seriously. However, I’m still surprised by his opinion on his basic issues with Nutrek. While this requires more money and more budget-friendly plot, longer seasons can almost solve everything Modern trek performances are wrong.
For example, many fans (I included) hate the fact that Nutrek relies so heavily on the “mysterious arc” of the season, a storytelling device that makes it harder for writers to do independent stories. Independent adventure is part of making both Lower deck and A strange new world Great, but the creator of the show Discover and Picard The series hurts by laying the entire season on top of the huge mystery that audiences will like or hate. With the 26 episode season, however, Nutrek can scratch the writer’s mysterious itch with two occasional snacks while still offering a lot of independent plots.
Star Trek figures
by the time A strange new world By the end, it will only air 45 episodes. If the show has 26 episodes a year, this favorite trek will end with an episode 130. It’s enough time to provide enough stories to satisfy everyone in the fanatic.
Other fans are exceptions Discover Because it makes Michael Burnham the lead role. Aside from arguing about Burnham being awakened or becoming Mary Sue, the real problem with her character is that Star Trek’s performance focuses on any one character Othersfor anyone who likes to perform ensembles, this is bad news. Almost half of the bridge Discover It doesn’t matter in Season 1, but if that show had 26 episodes a year, the writer would be able to flesh out everyone’s story and give each character a chance to shine.
This makes me an uncomfortable fact: Historically, Star Trek had to play at least one or two seasons before it could really be great. The next generation There was an extremely difficult start and many horrible plots (such as the “Code of Honor”) and season 2 had little improvement. By season 3, TNG Considered a must-see TV. it took TNG 48 mostly mediocre episodes get great, but jam performance A strange new world and Starfleet Academy It will end before any performance to complete 48 episodes.
Boldly go to the places Paramount has been to
Actually, I know this will require Some Miracle will trek back to the era of 26 episodes a year. This requires a lot of investment in a single series that requires the most important thing, and also requires a more moderate plot budget (A strange new world It costs at least $8 million per episode). Most importantly, when there are many different places to watch elsewhere, this will require listeners to be willing to adjust their new adventures every week.
But Hope Quan Yongheng, as an older fan, I Long To return to the golden age of Star Trek. Longer seasons lead to more stories, more character development and more gig opportunities to win new fans over time. After the Skydance merger, Paramount seems to really want to prove its dedication to Star Trek.
Is there any better way to invest in a brand new show than investing in Nutrek? Signed, a guy who can’t stop watching the cozy replay of his favorite Star Trek show on Pluto TV.
