To me, this 2 minute video is better than anything Alex Kurtzman has done

What is it? And what is the significance of "765874"?

Where does one go if they don't have the mental stamina to hang out with Trekkies?

Wordforge?

That is Yeoman Colt's Starfleet service number.

What is it? ...

A demonstration of the Roddenberry Archive, an immersive interactive experience that I haven't been keeping up on lately myself, but there's a lot more info at this thread: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/the...-trek’s-uss-enterprise-bridge-to-life.313988/

I recall some idea about exhibits you could visit that would use some newfangled projection panels to make you feel like you are actually inside the bridge of a ship. I'm not sure how that part is coming along.

Feeling like one is on the bridge seems like something I think was part of the StarTrek Experience in Vegas, wasn't it? I never went but I wished I had the money to have done it back then.

Some of you folks have nitroglycerin for blood.

Some of you folks have nitroglycerin for blood.

Does that mean I'm going to live forever?!

 

[1001001]

Does that mean I'm going to live forever?!

I have no idea what it means.

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Does that mean I'm going to live forever?!

No; it just means you're more likely to blow up than you are to ever develop angina pectoris.

 

[BillJ]

No; it just means you're more likely to blow up than you are to ever develop angina pectoris.

I'll take my wins where I can get them.

Also, don't get cremated.

Though, that is my plan. I don't have nitro but eat a spoonful of gunpowder every morning with my oatmeal.

 

[Forbin]

Wordforge?

GOD no. The ONLY thing they do over there these days is insult each other. I scarpered a couple of years ago.

Yeah I don't really know anything about that place, just that it seems to be where TrekBBS posters go when they've had enough of here.

 

[Jayson1]

Wordforge is basically a warmed over reboot of The Troll KIngdom.

I saw something recently – can't remember where – that pointed out that the Star Trek truly closest to "Roddenberry's vision" is Star Trek: The Motion Picture and season one of TNG, both of which are often maligned as being simply not very good, even by die-hard fans. (I'll defend TMP all day, but despite being a massive TNG fan I'll freely admit season one is the eggiest of curate's eggs.)

Oddly enough, anymore I find I really like Season 1 of TNG, sure there are some clunker episodes, but that's true of any season (although, maybe in their favor they're usually so bad they're actually memorable, where the poor episodes of later seasons are just completely forgettable). I like Season 1 because there still an element of exploring the unknown, with space being weird and trippy.

The script was probably awful but I am guessing the idea was to offer commentary on the AIDS virus. If it was made I bet it would have ended up being something like "Code of Honor" were they think they making something progressive only to come out offensive because of 80's attitudes at the time.

That's what I think as well, that script would have been originally written in 1987, HIV/AIDS was still pretty mysterious to the general public, so I can see how misperceptions could arise.
