General Trek Questions and Observations

Finally saw Siskel and Ebert's Trek movie reviews. I really enjoyed them, and it reminded me why I think the OG movies more succinctly encapsulate what's best about TOS than the series the movies are inspired by.
 
Please no. I don't have a relationship with Star Trek because of 26 episode seasons. I got in to Star Trek because of one episode. Episode count is such BS to me. It undersells the audience that the only way to possibly create commitment or fan status is quantity.
 
17 eps per year I think is a perfect Middle Ground between the old 22-26 eps per year model & the current streaming 10-13 eps per year model.

You can split the year into Trimesters, 17 eps per Trimester/Season per year.

Leave 1 week for X-Mas/New Years TV Programming.
 
If they really want to go this route then just give us 4 direct to video movies every year. Drop a 2+ hour TV movie every 3 months. Gives us 4 epic stories every year, can focus on a different character or 2 each movie.
 
Well, it's not the same model, that I can tell from multiple examinations (Bridge dome height is taller in the original photo, U.S.S. Enterprise letting is bowed on the original model, multiple other indicators), but still a cool undertaking for sure.
 
Ah, the first photo was THE very first time the starship Enterprise was seen in public, its birth to an unsuspecting world who had no idea what the ship even was until TOS premiered almost two years later. Such an inauspicious start to one of the biggest legends in popular culture.

Well, the better things in life are often gradual. Better to have normal pregnancies than SPECIES 2-style microwave versions, just to name one example.
