Thankfully, is it only a "spiritual successor" as they don't own the rights to the original show. That being said, I still can't wrap my head around this. I mean, look at this. Look at what they did to Teela. Not only is the redesign bad, she looks like the random punks Kenshiro would kill by the hundred in Fist of the North Star. With or without the hair and makeup. She looks out of place, bland and forgettable. On top of being given a terrible personality.

My assumption for why they made the show in the first place was that they invested in the IP and needed to show a profit. Weird. In terms of the Teela-gif. (Sorry Dragonborn...)

And, you know what, it's fine. They made Teela's face more angular, it's fine. Did you see where Skeletor goes "did you look at my face? I don't exactly get laid". Skeletor became evil, because he's an incel. That's now the origin of Skeletor. The character assassinations in that show had no end. King Randor was a dick, Man At Arms was spineless, Adam was a pushover, Teela was a bitch, Sorceress was a fake, Skeletor was an incel ... Evil Lyn is the only one to make it out of that train wreck and still be unscathed as a character, although she has the same face and body type as Teela. But at least her character made it out somewhat intact.
All around a very poor showing. Which is a shame, because the animation is amazing and the story could be going places. And even then, had this been a new show, without established characters and Teela gradually learned to be less self-centered and Prince Adam grew out of being a spoiled prince to capable fighter, in his own right and build the characters up, but it is instead a regression of established characters, that the show portrays as "positive" traits for them. No, Teela is actually right to be angry at the man who sacrificed himself to save the world. Then Castle Greyskull is fake, the Sorceress falls prey to a plot from the original show a second time and she is actually useless. In the original show, the Sorceress was the most powerful person in the world. And guess who was set up to succeed her? Not gonna spoil that. Watch the original show.
And, you know what, maybe He-Man was too male centric. Maybe it was time for the girls to take a crack at it. Then what the fuck is She-Ra? The entire point of She-Ra was to make a female centric He-Man show. And it was great, it was successful and boys loved She-Ra as well. I use to watch She-Ra as well, back in the day. Not the new shows, those were terrible. So not only was this story superfluous and didn't need to be made, for any reason whatsoever, Kevin Smith went and did it in the worst way possible.

I finished up The Good Place recently. Working on Elite but I can't watch more than a few episodes without being dragged down into the life of mostly rich teenagers who behave like adults.

For the second time in the last few months, tonight I watched the documentary on the Mattel Toy Co. and the inception of He-Man & The Masters Of The Universe toy line, comics, and FILMATION Cartoon series from the 80s (all of which I grew up with). I had quite a few of the 1st Gen. Toys including both Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain, Attack-Track, the Wind Raider, Battle Cat. I remember being so crushed as a kid when they abruptly ended the cartoon series after only two or three years. I had and still have so many fond memories of rushing home from school (that was less than 5 minutes walking distance from my house) to catch He-Man and She-Ra (yes, I watched She-Ra with my older sister...and even when she was "too old" for that stuff, I still watched it). I also watched shows like Fred Penner, The Friendly Giant, Mr. Dress-Up, Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood, Polka-Dot Door, Reading Rainbow, Today's Special, Fraggle Rock, Brave Star, Tom & Jerry, Sesame Street (which originally aired in August of 1969)....Even Mr Dressup/Rogers were late 50s shows.....But I grew up on so many great shows for kids. I feel bad for kids in this era, the shows just aren't the same.

All good things..., Finished my rewatch of TNG last night. Just watching Generations now. Was an interesting reconnect to the past for me. Watched it as a kid while the later seasons were airing. Rewatched it when I was around 20. Now I'm almost 40, so it's been a long while since I've watched it.
Not sure what I'm going to go onto next. I love DS9 but I've watched that fairly recently. Don't like Voyager enough to struggle with it without at least HD to prettify it. I actually like Enterprise but watched it enough I don't feel like another round. Maybe BSG... Anyways, I've taken some screenshots as I go of funny/interesting things. Here's a bit of a dump. In no particular order since the bulk file names randomized...

Have you seen Lower Decks yet? Could be worth watching soon as there are a lot of TNG references in it. I wasn't very enthusiastic about it at first but it turned out way better than I expected.

Yup, I liked it. The humour was hit'n'miss but the show is surprisingly acute at highlighting the tropes of Trek and poking fun at em. Episode 9 I think, the one that mimics the TNG movies, was really on-point. They had a lot of great cameos I wasn't expecting either.

<disgust> I moved on after the first JJ movie. I only watched TOS/TNG + their movies, and that's enough good entertainment. Picard's Grimdark Trek is poop. It would be fine if it wasn't in the Trek universe; another generic ME3like.

I'm still going to watch most of them. I do have a bit of hope for Strange New Worlds honestly. I don't think you're there in Discovery yet (Season2) but Anson Mount nails his role. AFAIK it was an unexpected one-off so the script might be less monitored than Picard's. That could very well be a good thing if the people helming it are free of certain irritating influences to make some fun exploratory trek. *** Picard's Grimdark Trek is poop. There are parts I like. Plenty I don't, but there is some gold in that series. Riker and Troi were done well. Troi chewing out Picard for not caring about the girl's mental state was perfect, and a natural progression for her character. They acted closer to equals than underlings. Riker being savvy enough to figure out what troubles Picard was in before Picard even told him was similarly well done.
Also, Troi just looking at Picard then seeing the realization that he's dying appear over her, that was a good moment.
***
Hue showing up hit a soft spot. After Picard has taken a slammed door in the face from virtually everyone he meets Hue just going "I'll do whatever I can to help" was touching. A good re-entrance for him into the series. His character, where he's been and where he's at, felt like a good progression as well. This might be bias though as I just flat out liked Hue from the first time I saw him as a kid.
Unfortunately of course they fucking off him. Knew it was coming too. Felt that "cameo-heartfelt gets knocked off" trope coming. Thought that was shortsighted; I was invested in the story of how they'd rehabilitate Borg. I think that plot-line has merit and current real-world relevance. His viewpoint would've been unique. Aside from Troi he was the most compassionate and empathetic character in, as you say, grimdark trek.
***
That said, don't get me wrong in that I think the series is great or anything. That fucking chihuahua-eyed smarmy fuck of a romulan and his incestuous sister, and the girl android whose name I don't remember, that whole (sadly central) plot can die in a fire.

That fucking chihuahua-eyed smarmy fuck of a romulan and his incestuous sister, and the girl android whose name I don't remember, that whole (sadly central) plot can die in a fire. I am also not as hostile to all the new Trek stuff as e.g. SirSourpuss and many others.
Take Picard for example. Yes, the series makes a lot of mistakes (and I mean A LOT of them). Some are in the details (that still matter) some are rather huge things. Still, I didn't completely hate it. First of all, ti did capture me a die hard TNG fan (and a fan of Picard's character in particular, he was my major fictional role model as I grew up). It does hit a tone that I can relate to. As much as I hate some of the actual plot points that are in there, the underlying tone of the series was pretty much perfect IMO. The focus on fairly complex moral problems (like how the federation was to deal with the romulan situation and the android situation and so on and so forth) and Picard as a principally good man in a tough spot, that was well conceived (if not so well executed). Also I did like that it was series about an old man and it was not afraid to make concessions to that fact. It tried something a little different in that regard, which was rather brave and at times it did pay off IMO.
I also loved how in the end they set up this huge space battle but the climax here is that the space battle is avoided because Picard finds the way out of it. That was in best TNG tradition. Of course, all the bullshit that happened around it dragged it down but still, there were some really nice ideas there. Picard's non-death was really the stupidest thing ever, I have to admit. Well, at least we got that beautiful goodbye scene with Data out of it.
As for the other series: I absolutely hated Discovery when it started but at the end of the first season I at least gave them some credits for their guts. I did appreciate that they committed to deceiving the fans for half a season and take a lot of flack for the un-Starfleet like tone of the series, all in service to the Lorka plot twist. That was kind cool IMO. Then, in season 2, Discovery becomes way more Star Trek like IMO. It still has a lot of flaws (season 3 certainly had a lot of dumb stuff in it again as well) and what I hate most about it is the overdone pathos and the ridiculously emotional, almost hysteric nature of most of the characters but hey, I still like it better than having nothing at all. (What a compliment. )
Lower Decks, which I had no expectations for whatsoever turned out to be the best new Trek around ironically. What a fun little show.
Now they are coming up with Protegy. The trailer actually looks like very decent animation work. Sure, it's not geared towards the old fans or anything but I think it's an interesting concept to make series for younger kids. For sure, there is worse things we could show our kids these days than a dose of Star Trek.
And yeah, with the new Pike being one of the highlights of Discovery, I am also curious about New Worlds.
So all in all, Star Trek is not what it was in the 90s, that's for sure but still, I think sometimes you also have to accept change. Could they have done better? Sure, absolutely. But I think they could also have done worse or they could have done nothing and so I am not entirely displeased with what we are getting these days.
Hmmmm, maybe this should have gone in the Star Trek thread?

I understand what you mean, but the show isn't getting better. Any of Kurtzman's shows aren't getting any better and I am not going to continue watching Kurtzman Trek after these news.

Dune the mini series series on YT. I've the DVD but this saves me the trouble of loading the discs. Besides, I've not seen this for quite a while. Between this and the 80s Dune movie, it's the closest screen portrayal of the books. It has its flaws of course. Nevertheless both 80s movie and mini series have their charms. I like both. I'm on the fence about the new movie since there're some lore changes. I've viewed the latest trailer. I like the ornithopter best since it matches the description in the book.

Watched the first episode of Lisey's Story (Apple TV) and Katla (Netflix).
The former had a good trailer and while the track record of Stephen King adaptations is a mixed bag for me and I never even read King, it's looking promising. Haven't seen Julianne Moore in a looong time. Aged gracefully. I was expecting this to be one of these stories where nothing happens for half of the season but already weird shit is happening and the art style looks really good. Will watch more.
Katla is supposed to be similar to Fortitude, the whackiest show with THE best crazy character ever. So I had to check it out. So far it looks decent. Hard to say how it will play out. Need to watch more.
That's it for new shows. Bit of a TV draught right now for me. Nothing too exciting has come out lately.
I did watch S4 of Atypical which was a bit of a letdown. The daughter's drama really annoyed me big time this season. The ending was nice, however. Good series finale, if that's what it was.

This game was revolutionary for its time.....I remember this series: WING COMMANDER. Such a great series, and this game in particular was really quite good. Such a stellar cast, and live-action movie cutscenes.
