Persepolis, the tragic animated story of how Iran transformes from a modern and rich country to a religious dictatorship
The speed of sound is the velocity a force can propagate in a medium, so yes even assuming such a mega structure is theoretically possible (it’s not) it would close its mouth at the speed of sound.
If you want a galaxy-doom monster, either pick a super massive black hole, a super massime white hole, a super massive black hole coming out of a bigger white hole, or a super massive quasar pulsating high energy X-ray bursts with enough power to kill all life of an entire galaxy
I can’t tell you much about acting, because I see the shows subbed. However, the writing is terrible, in any language. Not only their choice don’t make sense and there are constant plot holes, they are supposed to be seasoned Starfleet veterans, yet they act to dramatically, so emotionally, illogically and scared all the time.
And it’s not a smart “logic vulcans vs illogic humans” confrontation, it’s not a quirk of well defined characters with balance in their emotions; they are simply badly written for dramatic and sitting-on-the-edge type of narrative, which is fine I guess, but it’s a cheap way to get traction in the narrative, which doesn’t hold well for fans of the series that enjoyed the professionalism of Starfleet captains, supposedly the best of the best, capable of facing every menace.
Again, you want to do such a series, do it. But brand it as Star Trek, and you will get this kind of criticism.
That’s not true. Enterprise was new when released and I find it quite ok. Might not be the best of the shows, but it tried a different narration perspective and decent writinf. SNW is very new and very solid, despite a similar context to DIS, with a more modern narration, relevant morality and even a less serious tone at times. It’s just a better show, comparable to the “classic” ones, despite being a few years old
I mean, if human and terrans are identical, expect for the dim light thing, you can expect any terran to have ptsd. If you put a human brain with its psicology and needs, every single person will have ptsd from the traumatic life of violence, betrayal and torture they must endure.
It’s pretty terrible, not terrible enough to not see. The main problem is they made it very very difficult to care at all about anyone. Burnam is the most intollerable captain ever, they barely develop any character at all, and if they do, it’s only to kill them immediately after and try and squeeze some easy feelings from us. Well developed characters are instead falsely killed, but ultimately protected by plot armor. As you mentioned, Stamets and Saru are the only really decent guys.
I don’t really think that’s the same thing. The enterprise D was the flagship of the federation. It was THE ship and was given important mission, but it didn’t save the entire literal galaxy in it’s own. It had whacky adventure, did a lot of first contacts, fought important battles. But discovery single handedly solved galaxy level menaces and fought against entire alien fleets, all without very little help. That just doesn’t make any sense
