    the Bollywood TNG you didn't know you needed

    Poll Where does she end up? (spoilers)

    Since we know Georgiou is going somewhere when the prime and mirror universes are closer together, that gives a pretty broad window based on what we know from ENT to DS9. I don't think pre DSC makes sense because then she could just avert Control and other shenanigans. She could obviously come...

    Spoilers Kelvin-verse referenced in Prime timeline

    In a preview scene from next week's Discovery episode included in The Ready Room, we learn about a temporal soldier, Lt. Cmdr. Yor, who traveled forwards in time from 2379 and across universes from a universe created by the temporal incursion of a Romulan mining ship. So we finally have a Prime...

    Status of Vulcans in 32nd century

    I don't think we've seen any Vulcans so far this season. I didn't notice any at Federation HQ. Any theories? Do you think they just turned inward like Earth or will somehow play a larger role in this season? My pet theory is they are connected to the interstellar music through their mental...

    Chabon honors women Trek writers and fans

    New Instagram post highlights debt PIC owes to Snodgrass for "Measure of a Man" and Maddox and the multifaceted contributions of women creators and fans to trek over the years. https://www.instagram.com/p/B89vPpUAPAx/?igshid=twlmlt6fusw1

    Spoilers Reviewing the older trailers mid-season

    Thought I'd run through some of the older trailers for the blink-and-you'll-miss-it montages and one thing I noticed is that... Is there anything else you've caught on a more recent old trailer viewing?

    Paul Stamets Rehabilitates the "Stoned Ape" Theory

    https://bigthink.com/mind-brain/stoned-ape-return.amp.html I'm no evolutionary biologist, but I thought this might be of interest to Trek fans.

    Spoilers Zhat Vash and Vulcans/Romulans

    If the Zhat Vash is thousands of years old as stated, that makes it ultimately a pre-Surak Vulcan organization, since Romulus was only colonized in the 4th century CE. For this reason, I'm wondering whether Commodore Oh is in fact a Vulcan allied with this ancient group perhaps now dominated by...

    Spoilers Possible [major spoiler] in Picard season finale

    Charles Collyer, CollyerVFX on InstaGram, posted a video of the final day of shooting of Star Trek Picard. He's the lead VFX guy for Star Trek shows on CBS. Here's a link to the post: https://www.instagram.com/p/B11X72fANnB/ The clip is in front of a blue screen. Anyhow, the end of the clip...

    "the cage"

    In "such sweet sorrow" there's a whole sequence of sollicite dialogue about the crystal's "cage." Probably an Easter egg.

    Please lower the stakes

    I'm usually the first to overlook flaws in Trek and am more than willing to suspend my disbelief for all the random silliness inherent in Trek's sci fi/fantasy. However, a consistent issue I have with trek, going back to TNG and the TOS movies is the constant end-of-the-universe stuff. V'ger...

    Spoilers Metrons

    Since the Metrons mention they might contact humanity again in around a thousand years, perhaps humanity has evolved in the 33rd century and part of the conflict might arise out of the vacuum left behind. This would be consistent with all of Q's talk about the possibilities of existence (all...

    Spoilers V'Draysh, Funny Face, and the future of the Federation

    I've brought this up briefly elsewhere, but I have several questions that I'm hoping some on the board might have a working theory or speculation to help me resolve. Since we know "V'Draysh" is a "syncope" ($10 word right there) of "Federation" and that Craft's escape pod contains Earth...

    Impact of Discovery on post ST4 new Trek movies

    Assuming there is a successful fourth movie after Beyond and that the new TV show is a success, at what point does the new movie franchise converge with the new TV show? Granted, I know this is a lot to assume, and I'm hoping mostly that the movies and TV shows are independently successful, but...

    Tenuto makes a case for a familiar face *spoilers*

    I don't see any thread or referece to this Trekmovie article that makes what could best be described as a scholarly argument that John Harrison is Khan. While no speculation is airtight, with the approach of a literary critic Tenuto makes a compelling case. One of the few countervailing...

    Zachary Quinto embracing Star Trek/Trek fans

    Quinto has repeatedly appeared at conventions. He recorded the audio book for the novelization of the Star Trek movie, and now he's involved as the EMH for the new Star Trek online game. Just from a cursory glance at his involvement with Star Trek outside his role as Spock, it seems as though...

    Warping as a weapon.

    If you wanted to ram into an enemy ship, wouldn't it make more sense to warp into that ship, assuming your warp drive is still online? If warping involves bending space, I think it would make a far more potent weapon than just ramming head on at normal speeds.

    Point Defense and other Weapons Tech Matters

    Since this movie starts from scratch with a lot of Trek tech, it holds some promise to avoid past mistakes but also dangers of falling into the same conventions. I think Ebert in one of his Star Trek reviews noted that the weapons of the future seem startlingly weak. One could rebut that the...
