I think it is really great. Not since Babylon 5 + Battlestar Galactica (2003) has there been such a great scifi. Babylon 5 politics + Battlestar Galactica action. Has books to follow the story so it is already all structured well. I assume you're caught up to the end of season 5? I havn't read books. Gob mentioned it in the picard series thread I think.

Reddit was hoping/speculating more C&C remaster (or whatever they did with red alert). Did they make red alert 2+3 or different company?

First link worked for me. Maybe it will work for you now that I've approved your post?

Please only create 1 thread when asking a question.

I allowed it because we don't get many posts, and it seemed relevant (not a bot).

Lower decks is better than picard and discovery. Decent comedy to watch while eating or whatever. 10 episodes, 25 minutes each, not much time needed.

Episode 7: classic trek courtroom/speech episode Episode 8: back to space battles and action. It really made me think of star wars. Also seems like they will resolve the big mystery and have a big cgi space battle at the end of this season. So I guess my hopes of it being a multi season arc and not being rushed are gone.

spoilers from season 3 if not caught up, this was from episode 1.

Yes I am watching season 3. I guess it is better. Since it has nothing to do with normal trek timeline they can do whatever they want and I don't have to roll my eyes at something being ridiculous. Final fight in season 2 was stupid. Like it took how many seasons (24 eps per season?) in DS9 to build up to the big dominion war battle, and discovery battle built up in seemingly couple episodes and then turned it into a CGI mess. Or how in TNG with first borg battle (wolf 359) they did not even show (probably due to cgi limitations, and yes they showed it in DS9 later), but it made borg looks scarier to see aftermath. Or the most important battle in TNG that never happened (enterprise+2 klingon vs 2 romulan episode). Don't need CGI battle mess to create tension or whatever. It's almost like they have a CGI budget and have to spend it on CGI mess or else they lose the budget lol. I'm sure Discovery story will find a way to screw season 3 though. With the current season 3 arc and 15 eps per season they could easily do 3 seasons worth on just this arc. Take it slow and drag it out since there is limitless stuff they can do. But I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a 1 season arc like the previous 2 seasons have 1 main arc that they have to resolve in 1 season. I'm also hoping discovery is just going through the classic 1st season of trek being 'bad' and then they figure stuff out (like tng/ds9/voy). Except discovery took 2 seasons. Maybe the 1st 2 seasons was setting up season 3+ which they originally had planned from start. I have set my expectations low, but at least it's way better than Picard.

Dune delayed until October 2021 https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/j5piw0/denis_villeneuves_dune_movie_delayed_until/

Are the things on their hands the personal shields that make things look weird? I got worried a bit that they brought back weirding modules but then remembered about shields.

Who is George Herbert?

Welcome back! I played more WC3 than Emperor. I've moved on to Dota2.

That is great news. I've been using OpenRA for years when I need my Red Alert play through. Hope the source code helps them.
