    The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

    I don't disagree, but 'member berries, and a show that never really had the same chance/chances. The webisodes? A joke.

    Have you ever given up on a Trek series? If so, what was the last straw for you?

    Explain the um,joke? Y’know,for those of us unfortunate enough not to have that towering sense of fun that you are blessed with.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium"

    ...The problem with that, is that the audience is in a lot of stuff the characters aren't, from the get-go - in essence, he's a running inside joke, if not a deliberately funny one. Wink-wink. The unfolding of stories about him can't evoke the sense of discovery that they did in TOS. Abrams...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium"

    So basically the writers answer to SNW's biggest continuity problem is not "a wizard did it", but.... a literal wizard saying "maybe we should do it". Unironically great trolling. Funny story - the resemblances between "Arena" the TOS episode and the book are literally - guy fights alien, and...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium"

    ...Reminds me of right at the start of Disco when they kept saying "don't worry, we have a brilliant plan to make this all work with canon!" I joked "what, are they going to order everyone not to talk about it, like that Simpsons episode?", which was the most comically stupid idea I could think...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium"

    Sigh. I made a joke about a while back about what TOS trope they would use next. I said maybe the Doomsday machine. Well we got a Decker call out and the constellation in this episode but we got our TOS trope. The metrons. Sigh. Come on. Can't these writers come up with their own stuff for 10...

    Spoilers A Complete (I Hope) DISCO Rewatch

    ...stars in the firmament of Season One DISCO: Rainn Wilson's Harcourt Fenton Mudd (I will take time to gush about this performance later). Mudd jokes about their being at a spa, Lorca no-sells the attempt at a joke, and after a flourishing rendition of Mudd's "tragic" backstory, we see a...

    ...which should have been coupled with a little awe over what had happened to her, etc, but all we get is continuous Ortegas-brand snark and jokes. And why would any starfleet shuttle not launch with some emergency rations, water, hand phasers, and so on? My corporate jet has more survival...

    Strange New Worlds disappointment

    ...or another. Is SNW the show I thought it would be when it started out...not so much. But it isn't all bad, and in terms of crews I'd like to work with, this one is definitely up there. Mostly because they can talk and joke around. Do not need that super rigid professionalism anywhere in my life.

    ...duel. The Metron even says the Gorn would have destroyed them. There's no evidence the Gorn want anything other than to kill everyone to protect their world from what they perceive as a hostile invasion by the Federation. Really, SNW showing a kind(?) Gorn contradicts TOS lmao. (this is a joke)

    Spoilers Thunderbolts* grade and discussion thread

    Alexei: We are the Thunderbolts! Bucky: I don't know what that means. That's what you get for joining the group late, Bucky! You miss out on all of the inside jokes and cliques.

    Not Fade Away

    ...But an hour later it was back to the doldrums. Renko was replaced by Yanyan, a rather foul mouthed Andorian pilot who liked to tell lurid sex jokes that didn’t make much sense from a human point of view, and so were plausibly inoffensive enough to keep her out of trouble. But what she got...

    ...from preserving the Aztec Empire. I question the historical veracity of this, but I really don't know. The bad gunpowder is sort of a running joke. :rommie: Drink! "By the way, I've raised your security clearance to level seven." Would they be ruins at that point? What the hell? Aren't...

    Poll Is Star Trek: Khan khanon?

    Kevin Killiany actually used the bathroom anecdote in his Strange New Worlds story "Indomitable."

    Poll Is Star Trek: Khan khanon?

    I think that's a joke Walter Koenig tells at conventions. In DC Comics' Who's Who in Star Trek, Allan Asherman explained that Chekov was serving in Engineering before being transferred to the bridge (like Kevin Riley), and Khan remembered him because he led the defense against Khan's takeover...
