    SIze of The Federation in the new series

    If Wikipedia says otherwise it needs editing because that is not only what it said last time I checked there (it mentioned that A Light Year in distance is measured by the distance of the sun to the edge of our solar system), take for example that our Solar System is one light year in perimeter...

    SIze of The Federation in the new series

    You do realize you just proved me to be correct on the Lightspeed/Light Year issue, Longinus?

    Anyone else disappointed where the books have gone?

    I love this quote, it's a really nice quote and it is something I hope the next series will follow. Potential Derailing aside, I am a relative newbie to Trek Novels and I only recently got into reading them about a year ago. so I may be the not best person to quote on this but I personally feel...

    SIze of The Federation in the new series

    You're confusing Lightspeed with Light Year. Lightspeed is the speed of which it's distance is traveled by a year. Light Year is the distance measured using the speed of light as a background. Which is why many Official Trek Stellar Cartography books are wrong and should only be taken at face...

    SIze of The Federation in the new series

    No, that was Pike referring to Starfleet after he was referring to Kirk at the Bar to Enlist in Starfleet, "You do realize what Starfleet is right? A Peace Keeping humanitarian Arma-" then Kirk interrupted him with "Are we done?" That was it. As for the size of the Federation, Smaller; around...

    VERY disappointing

    (My bad on the spelling, I seen many variations on the spelling of the term.) Even then, on the Original Series during the show's production they changed.

    VERY disappointing

    Well considering the buzzard collector lights on the nacelles have changed a lot over the years, there really is no such thing as "The Right way".

    Should I Be Ashamed as a TOS fan to like the Rebooted Movies?

    Fans that tell other potential fans are not true fans because they simply got into the series from the NuTrek films or just enjoy and like, perhaps love the NuTrek films are not ones to judge.

    Uniforms in the new series

    This would be my choice too. Or at least something like it.

    Introducing people to ST

    I've had some pretty bad luck in attempting to bring the fandom to other people. :(

    Star Trek 2017 will not be set in the JJ-Verse

    Gene Roddenberry dictated in 1972 after the first 12 episodes that the Animated Series not take place in live action continuity. As far as my knowledge on TAS is concerned, it has not been renegotiated as canon and to this day remains the only Non-Canon Star Trek TV Show to date and that fact...

    Scotty in "The Galileo Seven"

    Scotty was definitely more important and imperative to the story. Draining the energy out of Phaser Pistol Batteries in order to re-energize the engines of the Shuttle was an idea that I don't think any of them (not even Spock) could have thought up. He also discovered what Spock was doing...

    Well, They Tried But....

    For me, it would have to be the famous Enterprise Incident, I love the episode; do not get me wrong, but the tone and pace of the episode stumbles and falls onto the ground flat on it's face almost instantly the moment they get the intro out of the way. I personally think that was the major...

    Pre TOS starships....

    I like the Flash Gordon-esq designs for the ships you have created. :D

    Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Worf".

    Re: Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Wor Not exactly what I said in context; I mentioned Kirk and Spock and Picard as they are the most popular Star Trek Characters. People know who Spock and Kirk and maybe some know about Picard, but definitely to much lesser...

    Alien characters on the new series

    I feel like new and old Alien Species are essential to making Star Trek remain fresh; I would like some exploration of neglected species such as The Betazeds, Vulcans and Andorians and a few other species whose identity and history got glossed over in past shows and movies. (Let's face it, who...

    Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Worf".

    Re: Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Wor That's not the same, TNG was a whole new direction and whole new show with 100% new characters and 90% new stories that with all honesty was more accurately a success with the fans more than casual TV Viewers. :cardie:

    Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Worf".

    Re: Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Wor It was the first part I disagreed with, I just don't see how the Network would be interested in making a show about a character that is not Captain Kirk, Spock, or Picard.

    Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Worf".

    Re: Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Wor I personally disagree with that.

    Michael Dorn Confirms that the new Trek Series is NOT "Captain Worf".

    http://www.treknews.net/2015/11/08/dorn-confirms-new-star-trek-not-captain-worf-series/ While attending an event at Rhode Island, Mr. Dorn confirms that the recently announced Star Trek series is NOT "Captain Worf", what are your thoughts on this, Trektoday?
