Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative

Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

Yeah.

During the Klingon scenes, I just want someone to rush down the corridor with silly string and water balloons filled with neon shades of paint.

I get it, their Klingon society is feudal, and on the brink of even more war. But they could still try letting some natural light in. If nothing else, their plants will live longer.

Oh gosh, I just got the joke in The Orville about the Klingon-equivalent race being extremely light sensitive. I don't know how I missed that before.

I really liked how they displayed the Klingons, went a bit away from the old humans with a bad rash on the forehead trope. Also that they spoke Klingons when no non-Klingons is around.

But yeah, the lighting was atrocious, but that was a flaw on the whole show. It all waas so unnecessary dark.

Yeah!

The actual additions to Klingon lore, and cultrue, I loved.

I just wished I could have seen more of it with better lighting.

(As opposed to the the Kelvin universe, which I wish I could have sen more of with less lens flare. Haha. I'm realizing I might be a lighting snob.)

Well that also undid the lore that says all the humanoid races have a common ancestor which I thought was one of the few good pieces of ST lore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

That bit of lore is completely silly. Humans share a common ancestor with bananas if we go back far enough, and "The Chase" proposes to go back even further than that. Still a good episode, though.

However, nothing in Disco's Klingon's undoes that. We saw Klingon precursors when Worf was devolved into one in "Genesis" -- another episode that has a Hollywood writer's understanding of evolution -- and he had an exoskeleton, mandibles, and spit acid.

Does it? It is just more pronounced, which I like. I thought the common ancestors thing isn't really canon
