    Spoilers ST Lower Decks - Starships & Technology Season 5 Discussion

    Thankfully, there are two versions of the BoP, both of different sizes.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x10 - "The New Next Generation"

    Not necessarily. Just because there are an infinite number of YOU, that not same as every last one is exactly like YOU (ie. the nurture versus nature versus personal choice trope). Also, as Daniels/Kovich (ENT/DISC) stated, prolonged exposure to a non-native timeline is hazardous to one's...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x10 - "The New Next Generation"

    I am hoping that Paramount will pull a FUTURAMA, and bring back the series as needed.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x10 - "The New Next Generation"

    Well, like DS9, SB80 has just become the most important station in the quadrant. Maybe Starfleet can finally invest in its infrastructure to update it's systems a bit?

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x10 - "The New Next Generation"

    My theory on the different appearances of the Klingons is based on the idea that there is a "Temporal Cold War", where various factions muck up the timeline to their advantage, as established in Season 2 of SNW. So, in order, the Klingons developed from Proto-Klingons to DISC Klingons to TOS...

    Spoilers Starbase 80 - The Space Station Time (and the Federation) Forgot

    The Acamerians are not the problem. Neither Federation nor Starfleet feel the need to invest in the maintenance of SB80, which means that the Acamerians have no incentive to do things beyond their section of the station other than stick to their own devices. Besides, they were the ones who did...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x05 - "Starbase 80?!"

    I'm going to put it out there: "Starbase 80" is basically a subtle commentary on the state of affairs California, and how the state used to be "The Golden State" back in the 1980s, but has since gone to pot, in spite of the leadership of the state trying say otherwise while putting on a happy face.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x06 - "Of Gods and Angles"

    I give this episode a 7. While still entertaining, it was a bit on the predictable side. Glad to have "new" aliens including in the mythos/lore. But my question is this: why can a "demi-god" join Starfleet, and not an Augment? In fact, why can any species with "unique abilities" join...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 2x20 - "Ouroboros, Part 2"

    Disagree. Considering that you just can't magically create complex products, coupled with recent conflicts, coupled with a possibly over-stretched fleet, coupled with the destruction of not just the fleet yards on Mars, but also a key manufacturing hub, you will get a shortage. Remember, you...

    William Shatner’s Finest TOS Performance?

    My all-time favorite? "Court Martial". To me, it was about risking one's principles, even at the cost of one's station in life. Second favorite? "The Empath". While it has minimalist production values, I really liked the interaction between the characters, and how Kirk didn't want to choose...

    Fifth Season is Final Season

    Doubtful. SNW will end in 2026, just in time for the 60th anniversary. The Kelvin-Timeline will officially end, and a new iteration of 'Trek will be rolled out. I do wonder if the new featured crew will come off of SNW, or will there be brand new actors playing familiar roles. But, we'll see.

    Fifth Season is Final Season

    To be fair, considering that the show is called "Lower Decks", and that the characters are progressing, well, there is a shelf-life built into the concept. My prediction is that Mariner and company will either separate to further their respective careers, or get their own ship, possibly a...

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    SNIP! SNIP! The whole entire point of the destruction of the USS Odyssey, at the hands of the Jem'Hadar (DS9) is that Starfleet, at the time, was neither ready for combat, nor did it have the type of starship that was "combat ready". To paraphrase Guinan, but the Galaxy-class is NOT a ship...

    Contest: VOTE Which Federation Starship Class is your favourite and why?

    My favorite is the Fenlon-class (Type-5) which has warp capabilities (FASA's "Ship Recognition Manual").

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    The main reason why I don't think a larger profile, such as a Galaxy-class, is that it would be a waste of resources to churn out combat vessels. A Miranda-class type of ship is better, because, again, smaller profile. Even a modified Intrepid-class is feasible. I mean, we complain how...

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    The problem I have with these fan designs is that they seem to fall into two camps: derivatives of existing designs or not appropriate for the war effort. The Defiant-class is the perfect design: sleek, compact while being armed and agile. No exposed nacelles. Other classes, like the...

    Rewriting Picard from the start

    Me, too. Data should have returned in S1. The same. Rios' "demise", while lame, could be reversed in the future.

    Rewriting Picard from the start

    Ultimately, PIC should have three elements: something new, something closed and a revisit. Picard dealing with life 25 years after "All Good Things" would focus on meeting new challenges and people, while revisiting old plots that need to be resolved. The parasites from TNG's "Conspiracy" should...

    Rewriting Picard from the start

    STAR TREK: PICARD had the right elements, but it seemed as if the producers didn't know what the series is supposed to be about. It's like they were resetting the series with each season. Anyway, for my contribution for this topic to this thread, here are my top ten suggestions for a revised PIC...

    Who's your Captain?

    Captain Rios. Maybe his next incarnation will be as a holographic Starfleet officer? After all, Starfleet does allow Androids and exocomps to join Starfleet...
