    Star Trek TOS Re-Watch

    And honestly, all you gotta do is meet new people. Nobody questions you were born. Nobody has to witness him escaping from his mothers womb

    Future of Paramount+ among merger talks

    "Certain sections of fandom" don't run the property. When studios let that happen, you get the reactionary nature of Star Wars. Let the studios do what they do. If you don't like what's being made, maybe watch something else. Just because something has "Star Trek" emblazoned on it shouldn't...

    "Second star to the right, ...and straight on 'til morning."

    Actually, Kirk had Chekov fly the ship into that nearby star. I mean, they were headed directly for it and vanished :rommie:

    4K Remastered Films 1-10 set

    I would rebuy them on 4K only if they actually restored the burn in subtitles for the alien language scenes in the TOS movies. Other than TWOK, they are player generated with standard fonts and placement. TSFS had the subtitles italicized and even placed off center at times in the original...

    Saavik I vs. Saavik II?

    Well, it was really a call back to Valeris and Spock's "A lie?" "An error" stall when they were ordered back to Earth by starfleet.

    Your Ideas: Star Trek III but no Leonard Nimoy

    The whole point, I thought, of bringing in Saavik and David was to give Star Trek a fresh addition of younger people to be with the veterans. Spock being gone, Saavik would take his place and David would figure in there somewhere. But Nimoy had a change of heart and the series turned left into...

    TSFS: Minor dialogue during return to Spacedock

    I always heard it as "Say again." "Acknowledged, doors are closing."

    Spock’s Command Decision In Galileo Seven

    I'm not sure Barrows was a last minute replacement for Rand. I'm pretty sure the substitution was done in the draft stage, before she was written out of the series.

    Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

    Had the same reaction when he was on Hawaii Five-O

    Less Humor; More Action, Please!

    Justman made it 2/3 of the way through the third year. Coon was gone before the second season ended. David Gerrold? He was barely a force in the series. He wrote one episode and did work on I, Mudd (hardly the series' shining hour). He was simply another outside writer at this point. Losing...

    The Wrath of Khan alternative villain?

    Wouldn't Kang be the Hawk though?

    The Wrath of Khan alternative villain?

    I always felt with a little rewriting of the backstory, The Wrath of Kang would have worked just as well. Imagine Harve Bennett wondering instead what happened to Kang and Mara at the end of "Day of the Dove." Perhaps the Klingon empire banished them for failing to kill Kirk. Or maybe Kirk...

    Enhanced TOS - anyone else really hate the swirling lollipop on the front nacelles?

    I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying a worse looking effect could have been done in 1966 if it had been feasible? The actual lighting in the nacelles looked great.

    Doomsday machine theory

    You wanna debunk that "windsock dipped in cement" thing while you're at it? :) Welcome back @Maurice

    Less Humor; More Action, Please!

    Jerry Finnerman stayed with the series until well to season 3 before Al Francis took his place with "The Tholian Web." The show was still awash with color. Actually, the deep shadows were more a part of the early episodes than later. All Our Yesterdays had outside shooting in the backlot for...

    Doomsday machine theory

    The was literally no time for further discussion and supposition. They had Kirk's theory that worked for their purposes in the moment. It doesn't really matter exactly what the thing was made for they just had to stop it right quick. Once it's finally shut down, they can send a research team to...

    Less Humor; More Action, Please!

    Well, there was more to Star Trek than humor and space battles, no?

    Star Trek TOS Re-Watch

    This is my favorite Trek story franchise wide. I watch it far too often.

    Star Trek TOS Re-Watch

    I love this last batch of episodes, even though some of them are really below par - the atmosphere is great. This is still one of the best after Justman left. Funny how five of the remaining episodes of the series all start with the same music cue from Spock's Brain - "Awakening." From my...

    MAD Magazine Keeps on Trekin’

    That's it! It must have been one of the reprint collections they put out. I had the Star Trek collection once and they had all the movie parodies up to that time and I was really disappointed at the one done for The Final Frontier. Very short with a different artist, it was very blah.
