    2025 Comics Thread

    Really enjoyed the finale for Redshirts. I'm thinking of buying it when it comes out as a trade. I was iffy for most of the series, but it had a great ending and is one of the best Trek stories I've read in a while. I did have some quibbles with the finale issue though.

    Pike's 8 years before SNW

    I would love to see more flashbacks, or even an episode set on April's Enterprise, but I get that with limited episodes per season there is not much time for that. If they did that, then they would have to forgo a Kirk or Spock comedy episode. Hopefully we'll get a "Cage"-era flashback episode...

    What if Picard was never Captain of the Enterprise?

    I like the Tryla Scott suggestion. I could also see Keel, Varley, or DeSoto getting the nod. Maybe Silva La Forge, Jellico, Rice, or Rixx.

    Strange New Worlds disappointment

    Regarding SNW and worldbuilding, I would like to see them address: -What happened to Chancellor L'Rell. I was hoping Pike would have a recurring Klingon opponent. -The Tholians and what they are up to, if for nothing else as a nod to the Early Voyages comics. -The Broken Circle could be...

    SNW questions

    I shouldn't say SNW is more poorly written, because I don't think it's a bad series, however, I find it mostly tepid and uninspired. It's got the Trek trappings and goes through the motions, but rarely does it hit the sweet spot for me. I think my gripe is more with the creatives and their...

    SNW questions

    Have you seen the 'musical' one, if so what did you think of it? I liked it. Have you finished it and was it worth watching? Finished that one episode? I did like the musical episode, so yes, I would. What are your overall thoughts on the series? Good casting, very good costuming and FX, but too...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x10 - "New Life and New Civilizations"

    I think with the limited time they had, the "Inner Light" homage should've been the main focus of the episode, and then at the end we find out that Pike or Batel have been infected with something, encountered a Black Mercy-like creature, or the Vezda is trying to tempt them, and we see that the...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x10 - "New Life and New Civilizations"

    Third seasons of Trek hold a special place for me because that's when I feel the series often gel, and that happened with TNG, DS9, ENT, and PIC. I was hoping the same would happen with SNW, but I've been mostly disappointed. This season finale is the worst SNW season finale thus far, one of the...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Khan 1x01 - "Paradise"

    I thought it was a good start, though sometimes I got confused when it came to which characters were speaking. I didn't catch if Joaquin was in the first episode. If I got it right, Joachim is Joaquin's son with a non-Augment, but at times it seemed like Joachim was Khan's son. The story is...

    Strange New Worlds disappointment

    I am disappointed in SNW. I had such high hopes. Pike was such a breath of fresh air on Discovery that I was eager to see him finally get his due in a series led by him. And there is much good about SNW-actors, FX, costuming, bringing back more episodic storytelling. But that's been weighed down...

    Why have they marginalised Captain Pike and turned him into a weakling?

    I think Pike was depicted far better in Discovery than his own series. I think his empathy, compassion, and principles were a necessary antidote to Lorca's treachery. But he does seem a bit lacking and rudderless on SNW. I thought at first that the writers just wanted to present Pike as a role...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x07 - "What Is Starfleet?"

    This episode was another winner for me. Three in a row now. Hope SNW keeps it up, though I'm already eager to get past the umpteenth Vulcan comedy episode (seeming a comedy episode) next week. I do have my nitpicks for this episode, but my positives are: -Liked Uhura getting to play the major...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x06 - "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail"

    Wow. I've been waiting for an episode of SNW where I got the same excitement I once felt for TNG and DS9 and this is the closest yet. I wish we had this level of writing every week. This is the best episode of the season and perhaps of the series overall for me. It was tense, action-packed...

    Whose names would you put on the wall?

    Thanks about Harriman. I was hoping one day that they recast the Decker character to separate him from the original actor.

    Whose names would you put on the wall?

    Some that come to mind: Balthazar Edison Edward Jellico Silva La Forge Tryla Scott Donald Varley Harry Morrow Alexander Marcus Frank Abbott Bryce Shumar Shran (not sure if he was on the wall, but if so, I missed him) John Harriman (also not sure if he was on the wall) Solok Mackenzie...

    Spinoff....

    I would rather not see a Year One spin-off. I'm not into Wesley's Kirk and I don't care much for the SNW showrunners' approach to Trek. That being said, if there has to be a spin-off, I think there's far more flexibility to spin-off Number One, La'An, Pelia, and Ortegas on a different ship and...
