TNG Progenitors vs STD Progenitors in Star Trek Discovery

[Zhortac]

TNG had 4 races present to see the message and learn. STD had just mary sue herself...kinda defeats the entire message there...

[MPMeterman]

We need to all thank Major Grin for his service for going through all the pain and suffering for 5 seasons of this.

[jorgekde]

I'm still laughing with the IQ test from Idiocracy, well done.

‘MEMBER “THE CHASE”?? ‘MEMBER THE PROGENITORS?? ‘MEMBER TNG?? I ‘member.

- Burnham was raised by Vulcans and is a complete emotional wet mop.
- "Agent Daniels, USS Enterprise." In other words, they made a reference that time agents could have gone back to stop the Burn, but meh....who cares. Mass death and warp core explosions are cool!
- The Progenitors have Progenitors. Why not have one when you can have more?
- The terrifying Breen in DS9 are reduced to lame villains.
- 32nd-century technology is reduced to haphazard space magic and 23rd-century mix mash.

The progenitors awesome technology is incapable of creating a clone of a person that has the same memories, yet a simple transporter accident created Thomas Riker

[jeffos]

TNG cast reacts like intelligent, mature adults. DEIscovery cast reacts like a bunch of 15 yr old girls. …No offense intended toward all the 15 yr old girls out there.

Star Trek should never have a main protagonist. No matter what their sex is.

[Tarotb]

I love how discovery takes yet another star trek idea (different species working together to find the answer) and completely misunderstands it ('We've got to get the super weapons before the breeen!)

[shorney]

Why wouldn’t the human race/ federation not be ready for advanced alien technology? 800+ years of peaceful exploration surely proves something? Not to mention everything is so technologically advanced, surely can’t be many centuries behind them?

[AethelredTheReady]

"You're the progentior..."

Modern writers have never heard of "show, dont tell"

[jmcenanly]

I noticed that while Picard and Crushed were scanning the Progenitor hologram with Tricoders, the Romulan had his disruptor trained on it.

[Snwar]

the sheer intellectual incompetence and reliance on better works is depressing

[scepteredisle]

*looks as STD's "progenitor"*

Why of course. Of course.

[Scripture-Man]

Brilliant! I was just thinking: "Why is everyone whispering" and then IMMEDIATELY Whoopi appeared and said "Why are you whispering!?"

[Thermool]

Seriously?! I missed nothing not watching this. This destroyer of worlds

[sargon]

And of course the Breen will keep their mouth shut and not tell anyone in the Galaxy when it comes to this incident, because Starfleet decided to make it a secret, and clearly the Breen will too.

[stopgeorge]

I really noticed the whispering of Burnham in these clips. It's like she thinks that everything she says if profound or something.

[braveintofuture]

I still don't get what the progenitor technology is.
The ability to travel to other worlds and spread DNA?
Kirk already did that back in his days!

[stopgeorge]

The writers never properly explained why this portal technology is so dangerous. All we heard is that they could clone people from Burnham. But the Federation can already do this. The Federation already had far more powerful technology 900+ years ago with the Genesis Device -- which brought Spock and other lifeforms back to life from death. Furthermore, the Federation can now make golems (Hello! Picard and Gray!). Why didn't they mention this to Moll and La'ak?!! Again, what was the point of this effing season?!
