    Let's be real, could Captain Decker have pulled it off?

    No, Decker knew the ship better than Kirk, but Kirk knew the crew and had the confidence to take risks and deal with "the unknown" far in advance of what Decker demonstrated. I think the writing does a nice job showing this, as Decker's decision making is often questionable after the wormhole...

    Could Star Trek V been saved?

    By all accounts, this was not the case. According to Movie Memories and Lisabeth Shatner's "Making of Star Trek V" book, Bennett had to be convinced by Shatner to be involved in the film, and laid out some very specific criteria in the negotiations process. Bennett was 100% engaged in the...

    Definitely "say again"

    Game The Most Disliked Episode Directed By A Trek Actor, 2025 Edition

    TNG Season 6: "The Chase" (Jonathan Frakes) was a great "Indiana Jones" style adventure. TNG Season 4: "In Theory" (Patrick Stewart) TNG Season 5: "Hero Worship" (Patrick Stewart) TNG Season 6: "The Quality Of Life" (Jonathan Frakes) TNG Feature: "Star Trek: Insurrection" (Jonathan Frakes)...

    "Good Episodes" you think are bad?

    Peanut Hamper was the absolute rock frigging bottom of Star Trek. It single handedly pushed me over the edge on giving up on Lower Decks as a series, and it has the distinction of being the only Star Trek production I've ever turned off before finishing.

    Why was the USS Enterprise F decommissioned so early?

    Yes, I agree on some levels of course, but there's a difference between "technology" and "platforms/airframes." The F-14 was retired for various political and budgetary reasons, not because it wasn't a platform that could be upgraded. Look at the new F-15EX, for example. The F-15 and the...

    If the Ferengi in TNG maintained the idea of being the main antagonists

    They botched the introduction of the Ferengi in "The Last Outpost" as menacing antagonists. So, even though I liked that episode quite a bit, the die was cast at that point in terms of how they would be perceived. I still think they were good antagonists, just cut from a different cloth and...

    Why was the USS Enterprise F decommissioned so early?

    I don't like the idea that the Galaxy Class seems to be outdated. It makes no sense. If your ship designs are only good platforms for 25-35 years, that's really a massive flaw. Look at Klingon designs like the D-7/K't'Inga and the BoP. Look at the longevity of the Excelsior, Miranda, and Oberth...

    TMP Appreciation

    It's especially weird for Nimoy to say that, as I consider TMP one of the most important "Spock" stories in the entire franchise. I think his character arc in the film is beautifully done, and he is easily the most important character and the thread that binds the film together thematically.

    TFF vs. TUC Enterprise Shots

    Oh that bottom shot tells a MUCH different story. Very nice!

    TFF vs. TUC Enterprise Shots

    I’m sorry, I don’t remember the source, but I know I’ve read at least one “making of” bookmthat indicated that ILM used that particular shot of the Enterprise on Chang’s view screen as a chance to “experiment” with a CGI model of the ship. If you look at a high rez image of the ship that scene...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I always took "on" to mean that's how many worlds they've set foot on and explored, etc.

    TFF vs. TUC Enterprise Shots

    That scene was supposedly CGI, which is why it looks a little funky compared to the other shots of it. That opening flyby in TSFS is one of the worst-looking shots of the Enterprise in the whole franchise. Very disappointing.

    Is this episode a bit "problematic"?

    Definitely an episode to be infuriated by and offended about. Demand consequences for everyone involved.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Well ok then...!

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    That’s not technobabble though. Realigning the main deflector to emit an inverse tachyon pulse channeled from the phase inducers via an anti matter implosion across a multiphasic plane of sub space is technobabble.

    2001: The Alternative Trip

    I saw this a few days ago and, as a huge fan of both the book and the film, I absolutely loved this.

    The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - TOS Season 3

    I enjoy S3 much more than most do. For some reason, I like that it gravitated more to creepy/unique sci-fi plots and less "parallel Earth" stories. Yes, it had more severe clunkers than S1 and S2, but it also had some really unique Trek stories. Least Favorite/Skippable And the Children Shall...
