That was just plain terrible. The first one was offensive, and this one was lame. The next I expect to be both.
On brand for me to like this when everyone doesn't, I guess. Everyones complaints are valid though. These are rough. However this dry/brutal type of humor is closer to my personal brand of humor than anything else. Last weeks was awful but this I at least laughed a few times. SNW Enterprise looks beautiful in TAS animation style. The Discovery clip just confused me. It's from the second episode of Season 1 but Saru is wearing his uniform from Season 4 of Discovery. I just... don't get it. That seems like such an insanely weird decision to make.
Totally see why people don't like this. I did. However it does feel like a fanmade shock humor video. The fact this is official is a little odd.
It’s from the second episode of Season 1 but Saru is wearing his uniform from Season 4 of Discovery.
I'm pretty sure it's a nod to TAS and other cartoons of the era having inexplicable errors when it comes to character models and animation.
I mean yes, it's dumb, but I didn't really go into these expecting they'd be particularly clever or ground-breaking. This one was silly and I had fun, I look forward to the rest of them.
Well, that's oh for two. I don't think this instalment was quite as rough as the first, but it also didn't have Pete Holmes, so it gets points for that alone.
For whatever reason I assumed each of the VSTs would be done by different studios, but this is the same team that worked on the first. I don't have high hopes for the rest.
I understood that the EP/Showrunner is the same for all, and the writer of the first one. So, he set the tone. Sigh.
A am still hopeful for ‘Holograms all the way down’ as it has Aaron Waltke as the writer credited.
I think this one is better than the last one, but that's a very low bar to clear. The animation is done well in TAS style. This episode is like a Saturday Night Live skit that falls flat. Not innovative, just tepid. I've now learned to temper my expectations for the rest of the Very Short Treks.
I suspect each episode will have different styles of humor as a form of experimentation to see what sticks to the wall.
One might therefore hope that there might be one in the set that I don’t find so unbearably cringey that I might want to watch it more than once.
