Star Trek Discovery vs Sphere 1998 Similarities

[AnnoyingCritic-isrp]

I still can't get over Burnham's pathological smile when she says "You wait".

[generyan]

Really going off that old adage “steal from the best”

[MediocrMrFox]

It's never NOT going to bother me that they fuck over an AI lifeform by ABANDONING her for A THOUSAND YEARS for NO FUCKING REASON
And SOMEHOW the AI doesn't turn against humanity for it
I sure would've wanted revenge

[Blutteufel]

Watching Sonequa Martin-Green and Anthony Rapp trying to pretend that they can act is _painful..._

[ChrisStarKiller]

They probably also stole from Flight of the Navigator 1986.

I used to watch Sphere over and over. Back in the day before streaming it was one of my first DVDs back in the 90’s. Sphere, Alien 3 and eventually the Phantom Menace. I still haven’t seen Star Trek discovery.

It’s not a perfect sphere! It’s got all those ripples! We can _see_ the ripples!

[Ebilcake]

You know the writers hate Star Trek when instead of building on existing lore, they just steel from other Sci Fi shows. This isn't the first time STD had done this, SNW is doing the same.

[juappdev]

Should have made Samuel Jackson the captain.

I know people say the book is better, and a remake is probably due that is more accurate, but I liked Sphere. lol
It was an interesting sci-fi film to me as a kid.

That musical scene is rip-off from Close enounters of third kind !

[radfordmcawesome]

"different pitches ellicit different responses"

was followed by the "i mean come on 🌈🌟" jingle from arrested development season 4

[generyan]

Liev had a similar voice to Q in Sphere

[gbonkers]

Ideas in the first season including character design and the living warp drive were literally stolen from a video game....

[ranchoth]

That’s just not fair.

STD wasn’t adapted from a reasonably decent potboiler techno-thriller you bought at the airport.

[johnm]

Does star trek discovery suck as much as it looks like it does.

[SierraSierraFoxtrot]

Random comment:
The book is much better than the movie.

[NoMoneyG]

Do the Kurtzman regime VS "Idiocracy" movie! Oh wait, Idiocracy was pretty good. Great video!

[Daimo]

I would have to actually watch Discovery to judge this, but seems legit
