    Ok. What is the chance of a Picard spinoff?

    I have but one like to give. It deserves more.

    New making of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan book

    I’ve heard multiple interviews with the Tenutos. They’ve done a fair bit of research including deep dives into Nicholas Meyers’s archive at his alma mater, Iowa. They’ve also seen and reported on the workprint (which I believe may be archived at the Museum of Motion Pictures). If I recall...

    Spoilers Picard Season 3 Soundtrack News

    Thank you for posting this. It really is a substantive discussion by people steeped in their craft. They go further into the weeds than I’d have expected (even if I’m hungry for more weediness). It says a lot about all involved that they pulled in a second composed who was very collaborative...

    TMP-DE fully restored in 4K…it’s about time!

    Setting aside issues of greed, streaming vs. owning, etc. — and speaking as someone who doesn’t subscribe — a silver lining is that getting this on to streaming well ahead of a disc gives fans an opportunity they’ve wanted for ages: to be able to spot check a release before purchasing. I don’t...

    Star Trek movie soundtracks - 5.1?

    I’d forgotten about this release. Looks like it fetches to premium a penny for my taste now. Those interested in the release can find more details about it here: https://www.sa-cd.net/showreviews/698 As a fan of surround music, I’d buy any of these soundtracks in surround. That said, I...

    What We Left Behind - Documentary Update Confirms *Some* HD Remastering

    Thanks for the reply. I wasn’t 100% sure but believed it was just the 50 minute “extended” version of he 15 minute discussion. Turns out that was right according to... Thanks! Yes, that’s what I thought but wasn’t sure. You’re advice is sound and that’s what I’ll do. Need would be a strong...

    What We Left Behind - Documentary Update Confirms *Some* HD Remastering

    I have the backer edition but am curious about the Shout exclusive material. Not curious enough to buy a second disc but might consider a digital copy. Can anyone whose seen them offer any comment as to whether it’s worthwhile? I’m also curious if anyone has bought a digital copy and can...

    How can these episodes (from TNG, DS9, and ENT) be canon any longer?

    My own loose head canon includes the blooper reels (which help contextualize Scotty in V, a movie NOT in my head canon), Galaxy Quest, and, of course, this: By referencing the Great Bird, the above video reveals Picard has a secret and jubilant deist streak that adds layers to his character...

    Mental Wellness Support Group

    This story may not be news to folks here but (whatever one’s take on the actor as a person, persona or his TNG character) I think this is worth sharing here: My name is Wil Wheaton. I Live With Chronic Depression and Generalized Anxiety. I Am Not Ashamed. (June 1, 2018). I’m excerpting three...

    Star Trek: Fact Files (1997-2002)

    I only learned about these recently when stumbling on the video below. As a result, I went to archive.org to see if there were downloadable scans to get a clearer idea. Nothing complete I could find but there are several there that may be able to help you spot check.

    Five Decades of 2001

    I wish he hadn’t destroyed the props but take heart that, on the bright side, the momentous props didn’t get watered down by being used in unrelated films (see also: Robbie the Robot or other props that got lent out, rented/leased, etc.). Ideally he could have donated the materials with a...

    CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

    Your honor, what the Defenants said on the podcast was not an indication of intent to infringe. Clearly, it was "locker room talk."

    CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

    Good grief. At least no one who wields such flimsy, simplistic, self-serving thinking to contort words could ever wind up running this country. ... wait, what? Bartender, pour me another Tranya.

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    Quick question: Does the NX-01 Refit with a book/magazine? Big so, is it print and/or PDF? I'm not a subscriber but am interested in that particular model.

    Who is going to win this election in November?

    Keeping in mind this board's focus and trying to put a smilie on what I feel is a very distressing turn: It's almost like after eight years of Mr. Spock as President we pined for Kirk then settled for Zapp Brannigan.

    Best Star Trek Podcasts

    Trek.fm has been my go-to but I've cut back due to my own time constraints. In particular, the shows that Chris Jones has helmed have always been the most thoughtful and compelling. On their network I highly recommend Ready Room, The Orb, Meta Treks, Mission Log (which they distribute ut...

    Republican Candidates for 2016 Race

    Your quote reminds me of the final scene (spoilers) for the early-1970s film, The Candidate. [Note: Hard to believe, but I wrote 900 more words for this post. Saved 'em elsewhere but decided not to post. Nothing terribly finger-pointing, but just in case...]

    Spoilers Star Trek Beyond references

    I noticed that but was immediately struck that the sounds in the nebula were very similar to if not the same as the the storm-like sounds when they approached V'ger on foot. On the "Easter egg" front, what this movie got right and STID got wrong is that these touches were largely in the...

    Star Trek Discovery

    I've got a bad feeling about at least one crew member on Discovery. Ship-wise, I've never been of the McQuarrie design. Or the D, for that matter. Never got in the way of my appreciation for the series. Looking forward to this.
