I wish I was a fan and had Internet access back in 1989.
Just to see the real-time reactions to Sybok and Star Trek V. "Oh no! The franchise is dead! TNG sucks! And now the movies too! How dare they give Spock a brother!!!" Would've been fun to see.

I didn’t need the Internet for that. Heard in the lobby of the cinema as I left.
It was around in the 80's. Didn't you watch the show "Halt and Catch Fire!"
The question is whether or not we have anyone here old enough to have been using it! Is it wrong for my first instinct to look into the TOS forum for said person.

That was the exact reaction
I guess it's not too hard to predict trekkies. But things became more tolerable right after with TNG season 3 and BOBW.

Halt & Catch Fire is one of my favorite shows! Unfortunately, I did not have the Internet until 1996. Which brings us back to my previous post.
But this is my opening to say I love Haley's review of Star Trek: Generations and what Cameron thought of Picard. He is a jerk, sometimes.

I say go for it! And if T'Bonz or Digits asks, I never said that. Nope, not me...

If they are indeed going to explore the origins of General Order 7 on Discovery, then what happens on Talos 4 must be really horrific for the "enlightened" Federation to threaten the death penalty.
On further examination, whatever happens must be horrific to humans. The text of General Order 7: "The following officers have visited Talos IV and recommend that no human should ever visit it again".
Who's an expendable human character on the show? (Number One, you'd better go hide...) Does this mean an alien like Saru will survive whatever horror awaits on Talos IV?
EDIT: On second glance, the general order is inconsistent. It says no human may visit in one place, and no one may visit in another.
That is shockingly racist. "Half-Vulcan Science Officer Spock" but no "White Human Christopher Pike"?
I wish I could agree that racism in the future is shocking.
It was jarring, but no worse than how Sarek and Amanda were introduced out of the aether. Since we'd never met them before either. I was more annoyed at 78 decks on the ship.
Whereas if TNG had started retrospectively bolting-on weak connections it would have been obvious desperation. Data was built by Scotty! Picard is Spock's nephew! Riker shagged Saavik, his instructor at Academy! Guinan was Trelane's mother! Look how kewl and in-universe we are! Please keep watching!

I understand what you're saying but, at the same time:
21 seasons of 24th Century Star Trek versus what used to be 3 seasons of the 23rd. We got to explore the Hell out of the 24th Century until most people were sick of it. But taking a look back at the 23rd? Digging more into that? Oh no! We can't have that...
Luckily, soon it's not going to be a one-or-the-other type of deal anymore. With the Picard Series, now the 24th Century'ers will have their show and I'll have mine.

I'd be surprised if Riker DIDN'T shag Saavik.
The problem isn't that she is his adopted sister, the problem is that it (additional family members) has already been done across multiple media, and that it just hasn't been done very well so far.
The latter can change (hopefully), the former can't and it is just another strike against the originality of Discovery for me. YMMV.

But I didn't get my first 'puter till the Spring of 1995.
It was a Packard Bell, and had .75 Mb hard drive.
( I worked at Montgomery Ward and got it for about $350)
By the Fall I was IM'n like crazy on AOL and got my first "Internet Date" Xmas week.
There wasn't really a central place for Trek discussion for another couple of years after that though.
I chalk the turbolift numbers up to the fact that the ENTERPRISE-A was a slap-together job to have a ship quickly readied for Kirk, and they used extra bulkheads from a Starbase project but hadn't gotten around to painting over the correct nomenclature at that point.

The Enterprise-A was built at the Sanford & Son Fleet Yards.
Usenet wasn't pretty about it; and neither were local dial up BBSes with a Trek forum. (Of course at that time STIII:TSFS was considered very sub par too being an odd numbered Trek film.)

What about the other 202 people who were there? Are they listed on the next page? In backup?
"White Looking But Supposed To Be Hispanic Navigator Jose Tyler"

I'll buy that.
