That was always one of my bugaboos. The spore drive is really an amazing peace of technology that didn't belong 10 years prior to Kirk. A drive that can instantaneously transport you to anywhere basically (or at least a lot faster than traditional warp drive). Why on Earth would Starfleet...

In a sense that's what Christopher did in his story for Mere Anarchy. Morrow just messed up his timeframes as it was a weakness of his remembering dates. At the end of the day there's no real way to reconcile it. 20 years is wrong. 40 years is likely the right answer here and whomever wrote...

I agree. I don't expect every single character from "The Cage" to appear, but it would have been nice to see maybe 2 or 3 additional characters retained and developed further. SNW takes place around the mid point between "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and it just seems very skewed...

It should have been 40 years. It's been about 20 years since Kirk took command of the Enterprise (if you consider the 15 years between "Space Seed" and TWOK, plus however long it was when Kirk took over and "Space Seed"--still not perfect but closer in scope). I think the 20 years was used...

It grew on me. I had a lot of issues with set design, the nu-Klingon look and the spore drive early on. Storywise I thought it was fine. It has gotten better as the series wore on. Each season is largely it's own distinct storyline, though it does build off previous seasons of course. I'd give...

Not so much ruined, but one thing that was getting old was all the Kirk era characters showing up on the Enterprise years before Kirk took command on SNW. And yet the only "The Cage" era characters we see are Number One and Spock. This is not really a complaint about the actors playing the parts...

I can't emphasize enough the value of therapy. About 2 years ago I had a really bad bout of depression and anxiety after my ex-girlfriend broke up with me. I started watching YouTube videos about getting your ex back and a lot of it was BS and using what I would consider manipulative tactics to...

Don't mistaken my curiosity about his 'fall from grace' being any excuse for his alleged actions. If he is guilty of what he is being accused of then he deserves whatever punishment he gets and I don't feel a bit bad for him. I just wonder did things go off the rails in his career after his...

Definitely in the movies. It seemed ridiculous that Earth would have so few ships to protect it. At least in TFF they added a line about there being 'other ships' but not other experienced commanders. It still seems a bit implausible that Captain Kirk was the only one that could really do the...

It seems to me after his version of Star Trek Beyond was shelved everything just stopped for Orci. He was still listed as a 'producer' but from what I've read that's basically in name only. I think it was noted he spoke to the director once and that was it. I wonder how much impact did his...

I liked most of DeWeese's Star Trek novels. But Chain of Attack remains my all-time favorite. First of all, since the Enterprise is flung to a far-off galaxy there is no cavalry to call. One of the things that sometimes annoyed me about Star Trek is how many times was the Enterprise the 'only...

Interesting. I remember Enterprise getting some flak for the whole Temporal Cold War plot at the time it came out. I remember some fans complaining about it for various reasons. But in a way that's what gives an in universe explanation for why things haven't unfolded in our 'real world' as they...

I just completed Dark Allies (#8) on my vacation last week. In this novel the 'Black Mass' is threatening the home world of the Redeemers, a religiously fanatical race bent on 'converting' as many worlds to their worship of their god, Xant, as possible. Since the fall of the Thallonian Empire...

I just finished re-reading this novel as part of my re-readings of older novels from the 1980s. This book was published in 1983 and according to Memory Alpha, takes place in 2274. The book makes clear this is a post-TMP novel. After reading the M&C novels published by Bantam my expectations for...

Very true. Sometimes we Trekkies see Star Trek with rose colored glasses. It's a good show, and at times has a good message to tell. And I like the positive future it portrays. That humanity has grown and improved. But it's still a fictional show run by imperfect humans and run by humans that...

In an odd sort of way I can see that backfiring on them. Some might have seen that as a 'token' gesture without any real meaning. I don't really think that would have helped in retrospect. I do think it really was just apathy, that it didn't even register to them to delve into it at all. Like I...

I'm not saying they stopped it, or anyone else for that matter. What I'm saying is none of them pressured Berman (or anyone else) to include homosexual characters in Star Trek during his reign. The topic of the thread is whether or not it was hostility or disinterest. My argument was that it...

It's still circumstantial. Still the old "others have said, other's haven't said' game. Before I accuse someone of being something I'd want actual proof. Someone coming out and saying Berman said homosexuals were '____', him being abusive towards homosexuals, that sort of thing. "Gutless and...

I'm still not seeing proof that Berman was a 'raging homophobe' as Gerrold claims. He says others have said that without backing that up with anything other than 'others have said.' The only other thing he said about Berman in all that was that he said they couldn't air that because they'd get...

Talk about blowing things out of proportion :rolleyes:. I was talking about posters here. And people have acknowledged that, but also acknowledged they were hard pressed to find other direct evidence he was a homophobe from elsewhere. And Gerrold had a lot of issues with Rick Berman.
