I tried to watch ‘Discovery’, but did not like it after a few 1-season episodes.
Just make sure we are on same wave length, I was only saying there needs to be more non-humanoid shaped aliens. NOT just tough first or repeated encounters with humanoid shaped aliens. I will give season 4 a try.
I understand, but I feel like they go together as part of a realistic alien encounter. These aliens both look and act different. They don’t register “us” as life forms, there’s a full episode devoted to figuring out how they communicate, fun stuff like that.
Okay, I gotcha on what you mean, but on the parts beyond just appearance is that not what all ‘Star Trek’ have done at one-episode or another?
It’s not totally unique for sure, there are similar examples like TNG’s Home Soil. But all too often we have situations like Voyager being on the other side of the galaxy and the universal translator just working.
That is a great point, I never thought of. What huge logical hole. I just couple nights watched the original, where they explained how a device a NONHUMANOID ALIEN created it’s own translator.
