    Enterprise D saucer recovery

    It's incredible, isn't it? I won't rain on your parade. I would love to see a revisit of Planet of the Titans or Phase II scripts even if it is limited to shorts.

    Enterprise D saucer recovery

    Spock was not a deep fake. Spock was recreated using prosthetics and makeup applied to actor Lawrence Selleck.

    Yet another re-watch - and what strikes me...

    I waffle back and forth on TNG and DS9. Both series appeal to me for very different reasons. DS9 is darker and grittier than traditional Star Trek of the time and it was disliked by some fans because of it, but the Federation does not exist in a vacuum. As long as there are entities that are...

    In the Pale Moonlight turns 25

    One of the best episodes of any tv show. It is a master class on acting and writing. Edit: Apologies to johnjm22. I typed this before reading your comment.

    Spoilers The thing in bay 12

    What I find most incredible about this video is that the Spock actor is not CGI. Spock is portrayed by Lawrence Selleck utilizing makeup and prosthetics.

    When did the Janeway hatred truly start to coalesce?

    Back in the 90s, I recall a contempt toward anything that wasn't TOS-style Star Trek on a ship named "Enterprise", but not specific towards Janeway, aside from a small few. I am in S6 of my Voyager rewatch and I very much like her character arc. She began as a strict Captain and developed more...

    Why Is "Into Darkness" So [imagine a different, more accurate past participle here]?

    As it stands on its own, it's just not that good. As a reimaging of Khan, it's a hell of a lot worse. It's a movie that never needed to be made. I like the concept of the Kelvin Universe movies. There are moments that really capture the Kirk, Spock, McCoy chemistry. I would actually love...

    TNG fans please identify yourselves ...

    I was 16 when I first heard about the TNG announcement. Having loved TOS reruns and movies, I was looking forward to it. I initially believed that Riker was the captain and was shocked and disappointed when turned out to be the old, bald English guy. I still watched it and grew to love it...

    Strange New Worlds Season 2 Trailer

    Fair enough. You have your reasons, I have mine.

    Strange New Worlds Season 2 Trailer

    The use of anachronisms should not be confused with anachronistic dialog. From TOS to VOY, the dialog was futuristic, well-spoken, and with minimal slang but with occasional use of anachronisms appealing to the audience of that time period. Tom Paris's love of classic cars is a perfect...

    Strange New Worlds Season 2 Trailer

    "What you had to do, what you always do. Turned death into a fighting chance to live".

    Strange New Worlds Season 2 Trailer

    It's a made-up future where humanity has achieved its aspirations of intellectual self-enrichment yet elite Star Fleet officers speak as though they were born in the 1990s. It takes me out of the Star Trek universe. Maybe it doesn't for everyone and that's ok. Just doesn't work for me.

    Strange New Worlds Season 2 Trailer

    Not a fan of Kirk or the anachronistic dialog of the secondary characters. And what the hell was this "It's making me sweat"!?! Maybe just misdirection due to the nature of the trailer? I was disappointed by the lack of moments between Pike, Spock, and Number One, in S1 of SNW. S1 was quite...

    Ok. What is the chance of a Picard spinoff?

    Children are often regarded as both our legacy and future, this Sidney LaForge and Jack Crusher would be considered "legacy" characters as they carry TNG character namesakes into the future. Seven of Nine is one of the better-developed characters in Star Trek history. She has transformed from...

    Spoilers The thing in bay 12

    The Enterprise D reveal was totally predictable yet one of the best moments in Star Trek history. Majel Barret's voice was the icing on the cake, made all the more special by the lack of Majel Barret's voice on the Titan.

    Ok. What is the chance of a Picard spinoff?

    I don't believe that Alex Kurtzman's vision of Star Trek includes a Picard spinoff. S3 was a gift for the "Last Generation" of Trek fans and I am thankful for it, but I think it was an anomaly. After season 3 of The Orville, I was fully on board with the potential of an Orville universe...

    Would like to see Enterprise come back…

    In all seriousness, I really would like to see the Enterprise crew return for another adventure - perhaps a limited series. There was a lot of bickering about B&B Trek back in the day, but you really never know what you have missed until it's gone and has made a triumphant, yet brief, return.

    Would like to see Enterprise come back…

    I would like to see a 10-episode series set 20 years after Enterprise. Perhaps an old foe reemerges as a threat bringing the original crew of the NX-01 together again. When the threat seems dire, Commodore Tucker, who oversees the fleet museum) pulls the lovingly restored NX-01 out of...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x10 - "The Last Generation"

    I'm excited! I haven't been this excited about Star Trek since the old startrek.com/trekweb days - where we spent hours bickering about Berman/Braga and politics. My how things have changed. :biggrin:
