    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x05 - "Through the Lens of Time"

    Joke as this may be (and also literally true with me as well), the fact is that the Moral Majority's attitude is from a questionable position to begin with. It depends on an idea that shielding developing people away from uncomfortable subject matter is objectively self-true versus leaving...

    Spinoff....

    ...her as a technician with basic engineering skills would fit better that as a security trained bodyguard type. That said, it could be a running joke if Rand keeps taking down beautiful women whenever they get close to Kirk. Imagine her throat punching Lenore Karidian in CotK. "I thought I...

    Poll Is Star Trek: Khan khanon?

    ...an injunction against contradicting it (intentionally or otherwise), and I cited salt vampires because (until they started showing up as an in-joke in LD) they were probably one of the least-referenced sentient species over the course of a huge number of episodes, novels, short stories...

    Spinoff....

    In the same way the upcoming Star Fleet Academy could be thought of/seen as Star Trek Discovery Season 6? So yeah, there appears to be a precedent for things like this in the Kurtzman Trek era. ;)

    Spinoff....

    If they did this continuation I would assume all the contracts would need to be renegotiated, giving them room to cut out more expensive actors/crew and lowering salaries of some of the others.

    Spinoff....

    ...and the ship transitioned into the original Constitution-class design by refits —but I half expect SNW to end with that kind of nod and lots of jokes about the Enterprise shrinking inside anyway. The unique selling point of SNW was Pike’s time in command of the Enterprise. It was the untold...

    Spoilers Wednesday (Addams) Netflix Show

    Just finished all four episodes and enjoyed all of them, although I will say they aren't quite as strong as the first four of the first season. Probably my biggest non-spoiler issue is how the show has almost entirely abandoned all pretenses of classes, with the exception of demonstrating as...

    Revisiting Star Trek Continues...

    ...to the various funny quips the actors would add in, especially Dr McCoy. Am i just not noticing, but apart from Lolani where Kirk and Spock did that very odd "jinx" joke that didn't go anywhere, I don't think one-liners were part of STC's scripts? or are they everywhere and I never noticed...

    The Animals That Aren't Dogs or Cats Thread

    This is a picture of a Dik-dik. The jokes practically write themselves.

    And the Next Cancelled Show is...

    When you mentioned whiskey I flashed to a British You Tuber called Sir Sic who has an ongoing whiskey joke in his videos :).

    Matt Smith Lands Villain Role in "Star Wars: Starfighter"

    For real this time? Sorry, that's just a poor joke referencing the rumors circling back around 2018 and 2019 that he was in Rise of Skywalker until late summer or maybe fall 2019 when Smith himself was asked about his role in the movie and he denied being in it, which as it turns out was true...

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    ...For some ai is a necessary tool for a creative outlet, imperfect as it is right now. And many of us cant afford the prices artists online charge for images and this is especially not worth it for a little joke. It's a bit unfair to suggest that people not express themselves creatively at all.

    The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

    I always thought Zmed was a funny name, plus TJ Hooker starred Vic freaking Fontaine!

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x04 - "A Space Adventure Hour"

    Meh. I thought it was a fun episode. And seriously, anyone that thought that the 'diction' joke was a dick joke, and not a joke towards Shatner's way of talking, needs to actually watch TOS.

    The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

    ...the car and Huggy Bear. CHiPS has Jon, Ponch and the bikes. But people only remember Hooker for The Shat and Heather Locklear in a bikini. How many jokes will we get out of that? Remember when one of the characters auditioning for a new TJ Hooker show was one of the running jokes in True...

    Based only on events up to the end of Voyager, what could happen to all Voyager main characters after the ship got home (also in alternate timelines)?

    ...opens it and sees a golden pip, Janeway says "This is your new pip ensign, the old one wasn't so shiny anymore!", Harry loses it and punches Janeway in the face before she can tell him it was a joke and that he has been promoted to full Lieutenant. He's court-martialed and demoted back to ensign.

    Gorn

    Is it time to start the GORN Jokes yet? Cause I'm finding this conversation to be a bit boring at this point and I'm gornna go if not. (we need a Gorn emoji) :biggrin:

    Fan reactions to Starfleet Academy's female Jem'Hadar/Klingon hybrid character

    ...fascinated by the look and the fannish-but-looks-cool bit. I said I didn't appreciate the insertion of that connection. The point of my joke, being that both the producers and their critics are chasing views yet one of the two is universally vilified here, clearly landed poorly, but I was...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x04 - "A Space Adventure Hour"

    TOS didn't really do character arcs like SNW. Character growth was often confined to the episode. (and sometimes forgotten ;) Guest stars in TOS were often as important to the plot as the regulars, especially in Season One more anthological approach. Not sure ATOA was as much about creating a...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x04 - "A Space Adventure Hour"

    ...to enable some relatively mundane character beat (eg the aliens who force Chapel to say she loves Spock in S2), or is treated entirely as a joke to enable a gimmick episode. Both approaches are fine in isolation and common throughout Star Trek, but you can see why they start to wear on people...
