TNG had the strong implication that holodeck technology was pretty new, in the first season, at least at that level of sophistication. The early holodeck appearances are practically gushing about how realistic and “real” they feel, in a way they really wouldn’t be doing if they’d had that sophisticated stuff all their lives. If it was really only around at this level for a few years, it’s understandable that they wouldn’t be prepared for all the implications right away. Look how long it took for us to adjust to the printing press, and we’re struggling with the internet right now.
I know you meant the original. I just feel that, if that was the way people felt about originals after re-makes are made, we wouldn’t have so many re-makes. I think people feel more like, if they bothered to do a re-make, the original must be pretty good.
why go watch something that Paramount obviously thought was so terrible they had to redo it?
Sorry, that point-of-view just doesn’t jibe with the immense amount of re-makes and sequels we’ve got out there now. If it was common to think a re-make means the whole thing sucks and shouldn’t be watched, re-makes wouldn’t be as successful as they are.
Fascination would probably be fun. Or Dramatis Personae.
edit: oooh, how about Repression?? Pagh t’em far, B’tanay!
Star Trek has always talked about Starfleet and the Federation as organizations that are worthy of trust. But practically every series has had examples of badmirals and evil bureaucracy, typically with ‘our’ heroes being the ones to fight against it. From stealing the Enterprise in TSFS to The Drumhead to Section 31 to petty theft Archer to Control and the Zhat Vash to the Illyrians, being and/or fighting against a compromised or infiltrated or just simply bad Starfleet has been a long recurring theme. That’s why I loved when they turned that theme on its head in Lower Decks, with an entire episode based around fighting the evil Starfleet ended up superfluous because Starfleet was actually a fundamentally good organization and, as it turned out, the system actually works. I feel like the writers of Lower Decks are the only ones who really believe that…everybody else seems to want to scratch at the surface to see what they feel really lies beneath. Although, having said that, they ended the same season with a badmiral, so idk.
It just means Annorax wasn’t as crazy as he came off to be. Which stands to reason, considering all he accomplished. Perhaps anthropomorphizing time is legitimate in this universe.
I wonder if we trained an AI on the entire corpus of articles about how Google is gonna kill adblocking, if we could keep these articles going after most people switch uneventfully over to Lite.
