Nah, it does suck though.

Other than Lower Decks of course

Yeah, I've heard that all the new stuff other than lower decks has been terrible. I gave Picard a shot during season 1 and I tried really hard to like it. Hard to do when something is a hot pile of garbage.

I'd rather just go rewatch some TNG/DS9/VOY thank you very much.

Picard 3 was good. Strange New Worlds is decent.

Lower Decks needs to go on your watch list immediately.

Rest is pretty much hot garbage.

I've watched them all, and liked them (didn't watch lower decks). But that's me.

"THE PITT" Season 2 is woke garbage.

Isn’t Mel Herbert a big consultant for this? It doesn’t surprise me because EMRAP seemed to be having less and less actual medical content so I quit subscribing but that’s been 5+ years.

We said this about season 1 as well; went thru the "EMRAP is woke garbage now" bit.

I don't watch Trek. Just watched the original movies (1-4). They were good. I'll get to 5 and 6 here soon.

What I remember of the early Star Trek movies was that they alternated being good and bad…1 was great, 2 wasn’t, etc etc…this continued on to 5/6 (as previously mentioned, 5 sucked but 6 was good). Even the ones in the 90s/2000s followed this pattern (Generations was pretty “mid” as the kids say, First Contact was awesome, Insurrection wasn’t that great, etc).

I haven’t seen the newer ones like Into Darkness etc.

You're not missing much, IMO.

2, 4, 6 were good. 1,3, 5 were the duds. This continued into the movies, as First Contact turned or to be an even numbered one.

I don't think TMP was bad, just a bit dull. It does have some of the most spectular special effects shots ever filmed. Watch the Enterprise flyby on a big screen with the music blaring, and nothing else is as good. 2 is amazing, especially consider the slashed budget. ILM did some truly amazing stuff before CGI.

I hated 4, very dated, and preachy "save the whales". Although the comedy is good, it overall has not aged well. 5 is total garbage due to a bad script, low budget, and special effects that were not done by ILM (they had other obligations). 6 is a great movie, but the themes haven't aged well. ST:FC is the only good one post old Trek.

Of the new stuff on SNW is worth watching, along with Lower Decks, and Picard Season 3 only for nostalgia purposes. I do give a shout-out to Prodigy which wasn't bad at all.

Four? FOUR?
"Save the whales thru a time-warp?"

Bro. I love you, but BRO.

Coming from a guy who JUST watched these movies this year for the first time, and has ZERO Star Trek knowledge outside of "I have watched a few episodes of TNG when it was on FOX before the X-Files" - Movies one and two were AWESOME. You can look "past" the limitations of the special effects of the day and still see how it was rad. Three was cool because there was the redemption arc. Four? I turned it off and called my boy @CajunMedic and said: "Bro, can I skip this one and not miss out on critical plot items and lore?" He said: "Yes."

I've yet to get to Five and Six because baseball season is in full swing, and there are at least 3 games that I want to watch every night.

5 for me is generally the worse of the series. The special effects were apallingly bad (worse than TNG which was as on TV at the time). It's fun to watch though for how cringey it is. Uhura doing a fan dance was probably a low for Star Trek. 6 was excellent, but the same director as Star Trek II, and using ILM again.

Goddam y'all are a bunch of nerds

Apparently the EmRap gang are consulting.

Id rather them interview regular pit docs instead of midlevel pandering sellouts but, here we are.

is that why a lotof EM docs these days dont like this podcast?

 

[RustedFox]

Jesus. I don't want to watch 5 and 6 now.
I'll keep 1 and 3 in my head as peak.

6 is, in my opinion, the best of the TOS movies.

Because it’s getting harder and harder to find the real medicine in it.

I’m a left-leaning millennial community attending and I find 1/4 of EMRAP to be social justice nonsense (I’m here for the medicine, not your social justice opinions!) and another 1/2 to be ivory tower nonsense that would never fly at a busy community shop (one glaring example was the lecture on peds appys. I’m not transferring a kid to a peds hospital to be seen by a peds surgeon in person for rule out appy to avoid a CT scan when I have a scanner at my shop. I’m either ordering it or not and sending home. A plan only an academic would think is what parents/patients/the system want. I have to talk parents OUT of CT scans for their 6 year olds at about a 10:1 ratio to talking them IN to one. Parents WANT the scan if you think their kid has an appy. Wouldn’t you??)

It’s getting harder and harder to find the real medicine. Their journal summaries are the highest yield.

You have to watch 5 just to see Trek at a low point. Then 6 is my second favorite overall.

My daughter is pre-med. She’s been watching The Pitt. She loves it.

She read my book and liked it. Still wants to be a doc. That scares me.
