    A few things to discuss about Kes

    I can't see destruction just for the sake of destruction as "art". I do find characters like Khan, Dukat and Gul Mardred good since they contribute to a good story even if I don't find them likeable. yes it can in certain circumstances. But not the way it has been done too many times in Star...

    Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

    The thing I don't get about season three - other than literally all of it - is that Worf is a "pacifist" and his intro scene shows him killing more people than he did in his entire seven-year run in TNG, in under ten seconds, in an extremely brutal way. I'm not even joking around, I actually...

    TNG Episode "Hear Me Outs:" Masks

    ...experiences life on Kataan...or does he experience what the Kataan natives wanted him to think life on Kataan was like? There's a long-running joke in anthropological studies that suggests that if human civilization went extinct today, then if aliens ever found Earth they might think Barbie...

    Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

    I disagree. There are 20 good (or better) episodes in TOS S1 alone. Maybe more. The City on the Edge of Forever, Balance of Terror, The Corbomite Manuever, Where No Man Has Gone Before, The Menangerie Pts 1 & 2, The Devil in the Dark, This Side of Paradise, A Taste of Armageddon, Arena, The...

    News The ongoing next Star Trek movie thread

    If they really liked it, it would have been produced and made it to theatres and P+. If they are such a stickler about Chris Pine, then why not recast Kirk with someone else. Like say Scarlett Johannson, or Margot Robbie, or Zendaya, or Jessica Chastain, or Emily Blunt? You’re telling me it...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    It fits. A lot of LD is about seeming messups turning out to actually be competent and heroic when they get the chance to shine, or get over their issues enough to let themselves shine.

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    ...him off. But instead, they have carefully hidden his fate post-Voyager, just to perpetuate their mean-spirited and unfunny "forever ensign" joke. Very true. And a dying character serves the narrative better than one with no purpose, and little chance at happiness. An example is Mullibok from...

    News Netflix to buy Warner Brothers

    Looked for a thread about this purely to mention the Babylon 5 aspect, but I see @Nerroth has beat me to the punch. We all know Netflix only bought Warner Bros. for those sweet, sweet Babylon 5 rights. :lol: Mostly joking, of course, but Netflix has previously been interested in having a Star...

    Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

    I'm actually stunlocked by the 90210 SFA poster, every time I think of it my brain clicks like an old mechanical hard drive. It has to be a joke, surely? Not even saying this in a sneering "Kurtzman Trek sucks, this'll be shit" way; like, it has to be intended as a tongue-in-cheek pastiche of...

    Do people under 40 care about Star Trek?

    ...with my wife of the same age. We watched Lower Decks together before she had seen a lot of other trek, and she liked that even without the in-jokes so that got her interested in the rest of trek. She couldn't get through the original series, and even I will only really watch it in the...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    ...lead captains in STAR TREK, Carol Freeman is the most improved. When LOWER DECKS first started, I thought she was second tier and a bit of a joke. (Which, admittedly, was probably the point, as the California class ships tend to be more the grunts of the fleet, for lack of a better term.)...

    Same with me. My wife's first reaction was it can't be real.

    Honestly thought the poster was an A.I. joke the first time I saw it lol.

    Revisiting Haven...

    ...DGAF, Picard screws up whatever bonding crap was supposed to have taken place, the guy trafficking her is played out as something of a pervy joke, in the end, which sort of makes me glad he got f*cked up, in what was basically a shakedown by criminals treating him like he's a peer. And in a...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    ...that big of a deal. I would say the same about people who want to pretend Lower Decks erased Discovery from canon which is really more of a joke than something people take seriously. But hey if people want to take a Trek show they don't like and head canon it out of existence that is no...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    ...the time, not to the point you could see the whole series that way.) Whereas (as I see it) just about any Orville episode, take out most of the jokes and make a few pencil slashes in the script, and yeah, one could see it as Trek, especially TNG. I think that’s the difference. And again...

    DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

    That as they say, is the joke.

    I was content with Picard's series finale

    ...them. And with heroics from all the main cast, Picard rescues his son Jack, and after 35 years, the Borg are finally vanquished forever. No joke! After all was said and done, I felt great pride the TNG did the impossible and saved all. "Captain's log, Stardate… shall we say one. The first...
