I would advise you to start getting more creative and engage in more genuine discussion before you turn into yet another *Hangs out in episode thread screaming at clouds" account.

We get it, you think it's crap.

I would advise you to not tell other people what to type on the internet. I don't care about your opinion.
 
But more Terry-Trek would not mean more Trek that is just a send-off to classic Trek. PIC S3 is a special case. Not all Terry-Tek would be the same as S3. I am sure Terry Matalas could do new Trek that appeals to new fans.
Openly advocating the title "Star Trek: Legacy" is surely a bit of a red flag?
 
I've been kind of wondering about this myself.

Yeah, maybe I missed it that it was just the ships but I thought they were implying they'd been using the transporters basically everywhere in Starfleet to set this up. Then when the plan was activated, everyone under 25 who had been in or around a transporter would have been assimilated. They even said Starfleet is now Borg and that they had infiltrated all of Starfleet.

It was his idea to do a season in the past for season 2.
 
Oh billy badass lol.

Have fun kiddo. My guess is a moderator will be responding to you directly within the next 48 hours because you don't have a handle on being constructive, contributing and polite.

Actually, that's you. It's impolite to tell people what to type on the internet.

That is where we differ. Going by what he has said in various interviews, I don't think Terry knows anything but "Nostalgia Trek". His entire concept for "ST: Legacy" is to visit places and people we already know.

The Borg had been playing the long game, basically. Because the human brain isn't done developing until 25 the DNA changes and such were basically hard wired into their (the sub-25 crowd) brains structurally, which is why the changes were able to take effect with them.

The older crowds brains were already fully matured and locked in, thus the changes weren't able to settle in.

Is it campy? Sure, is it semi-pseudo scientific? Yep, is it Star Trek? Sure is.
 
You know all these questions (rightfully) challenging Matalas for/against should be put to him or the cast at conventions, instead of people asking "why are the nacelles smaller" or some other silly question. I always find it bizarre that we have so much often valid criticism of trek that we NEVER take the opportunity to ask it at a convention directly to their faces.
 
He doesn't know "Nostalgia Trek." He knows Pet Cemetery. What he "knows" is how to recycle the most superficial aspects of old material without actually understanding what made it memorable in the first place. It doesn't even work as nostalgia, because what you get is the undead, lifeless Pet Cemetery reanimated version of something old--not legitimate nostalgic callbacks that actually carry emotional weight.
 
The new season 1 and season 2 characters were terrible. There was nothing there to explore.

What's incredible is that I have absolutely no doubt that they're going to just dump the changeling thread and the "mystery face." Laughable crap.

the Showrunner answered who the mystery face was on Twitter this morning lol

He has worked on other series, most notably 12 Monkeys, which was admittedly also an expansion of existing IP, though it did have critical acclaim starting in Season 2.

Probably because that would seem rude? Fans at a convention want to celebrate the show, not examine it in a challenging way.

It would definitely make for an interesting interview or podcast though. I hope someone takes that up.
