Poll Which era of Star Trek would you rather see continue?

I got the feeling that the Kelvin universe/timeline will never be visited again.

Sad but I think it might be true.

Berman-era Trek is bland (Lower Decks is just having a field day skewering its conventions).

And some people will be sad because in 2041 Star Trek the special effects are too good and it makes them dizzy and everyone talks too fast and why is she crying all the time and that’s not a Klingon, that’s a Klingon, Bad writing, trash TV etc. X-producer must go…

Oh and WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CANON?

And it will all be just as tedious, plus way more invasive as by then I expect to have all this kind of online discussion stuff downloaded directly into my neural cortex rather than read it on a smartphone.

Hopefully, that means distant future Trek returns to its roots. lol

 

[The Wormhole]

Indeed. It's maybe 60% of my work day.

Even less of mine.

Action and adventure with social commentary. Sounds good.

 

[Commander Troi]

Indeed. It's maybe 60% of my work day.

That much? Lots less of mine.

I'm being generous.

I have decided to call it the Sybok division. It’s okay for Spock to have a previously unmentioned brother because that was then. However, it’s absolutely wrong for Spock to have a previously unmentioned sister because that’s now.

Yes... no one complained about Sybok....

I don't think TSFS feels very much like Blade Runner at all. The closest Star Trek gets to Blade Runner is actually Picard. Down to Dahj and Soji realizing they're Star Trek's equivalent of Replicants. When Dahj is wandering in the city in "Remembrance", searching for Picard, and he's on the 2399 version of a TV, that's the most Blade Runner-esque Star Trek has ever felt. I loved it. Mainly because Blade Runner is my favorite movie.

Bladerunner's awesome, but if I want Bladrunner I'll watch Bladerunner, not Star Trek.

Hey, and Babylon 5's awesome, but if I want to watch Babylon 5 I'll... no I don't want to finish that sentence! I can't do it.

I've got these two emoticons I'm stuck between .

 

[oldtrekkie]

The twist in Picard is that he's now a replicant as well.

 

[oldtrekkie]

You know in Picard they've basically swept under the rug that Jurati was to stand trial for murder. I wonder if they'll go the whole hog and next season forget that Picard is now an android as well. That would actually be funny. On a par with

Shaxs resurrection In LD.

Which, if true, could ironically make it fun territory for future novels and comics to explore.

Just like the novels got plenty of mileage out of the post-Nemesis universe back when the Prime Universe was no longer a going concern onscreen . . . .

Star Trek is a multipurpose storytelling platform. It can tell comedies, horror, political thrillers and action/adventure. At it's base it is a much larger canvas than Bladerunner by design.

Yes, Janeway in Macrocosm is practically ripping off Ripley in Aliens shooting those Xenomorphs coming at her.

Yeah, I watched "Stardust City Rag" the other day and... ugh... the problem isn't that they had Jurati commit the murder, the problem is that they should've either had consequences or made sure there wasn't any doubt she was completely under the influence of Oh or that the Conclave had driven her totally insane.

She doesn't seem totally insane, and they're glossing over the consequences, so they should've made it crystal clear that Oh did something to her. That still wouldn't be great, but this is Star Trek, and it's a Star Trek Reason that she'd be under the spell of a Vulcan Mind-Meld and I'd say, "Fair enough."

I have very thin hope for follow up.

Can you just go over my post again and tell me which part is 'that'?

It's clearly a reference to your suggestion that fans of present day Trek productions will be displeased with future Trek.

And some people will be sad because in 2041...

You followed this up with a meaningless laundry list simply to make the point that the show will always change. I was clearly making the joke that hopefully that hypothetical change that displeases fans of present day Trek productions will be a return to older themes of the show.

I got the feeling that the Kelvin universe/timeline will never be visited again.

If the will existed, they could do Kelvin TNG with Tom Hardy as Jean Luc Picard.
