    Actually enjoying Season 1 the third time around

    Up until a couple weeks ago, I had seen all Season 1 episodes twice: once right as it aired, and a 2nd time a few days after they aired. My overall opinion of it was that it got a little better in the middle of the season, but early and later episodes left a lot to be desired. Now, I loved...

    Spoilers Klingons in the upcoming Pike show, and beyond (not a headcanon theory thread!)

    (I have what might be considered a very, very, very, very minor Picard spoiler in here. But I think it's a pretty harmless mention. Still, just wanted to cover my butt and mention it before you read this.) I know we probably need a break from the Klingons. But eventually they'll pop up again...

    Discovery/Picard crossover

    I'm wondering if there's any interest in a DSC/PIC crossover. I'm 50/50 on the idea. You definitely run the risk of being too fanwanky. But I still can't get my mind off the idea. My thought is that maybe instead of going back to the mid-2250's, Georgiou ends up somewhere in the 2380's, takes...

    What if Star Trek pulled a 'Flashpoint Paradox'

    This will probably be the dumbest, most fanwank-y concept that's been posted here in probably the last decade. I want to be upfront right now that I totally acknowledge this is fankwank in its purist form. :hugegrin: But it randomly popped in my head awhile back, and I'm at the point now were I...

    Should DSC and PIC have a run in syndication?

    I'm a little apprehensive to bring this topic up as I'm actually pretty satisfied with CBS All Access being the home for new Star Trek. But I can't help but think putting Discovery, Picard, and all the future live action shows on a cable channel somewhere would benefit the new shows and increase...

    Do a Kelvin timeline TV show spinoff!

    The Kelvin timeline movies have a whole bunch of flaws, but for some reason I still enjoy the heck out of them. And as much as I'd love new Kelvin timeline stories with those versions of Kirk, Spock, etc., I've really always thought it would be fun explore the Kelvin timeline through the eyes of...

    My totally unnecessary head-canon explanation for the Klingons' change of appearance

    This is pretty much intended in a facetious manner. Not so much a "Haha!! I'm so funny!" sort of way. But just understand that I don't think the producers of Discovery owe an explanation for the redesigned Klingons. It's a make-up change, clear and simple - it was never intended to be anything...

    Is the choH'a an alternative explanation for human-looking Klingons in TOS

    I'm not sure how much longer we're supposed to give spoiler alerts for Discovery, but just to be on the safe side... I wasn't sure if this post belonged in the DSC or TOS forum as it refers to both. If the mods feel it should be moved to the TOS forum, then make it so. But I thought there...

    CBS All Access orders three new original series

    Looks like CBS All Access is adding a little meat to their roster of original series. http://www.tvguide.com/news/cbs-all-access-will-ferrell-adam-mckay/ Glad to hear it. One of the more common criticisms I've read about CBS All Access and Star Trek: Discovery goes something like, "Sorry! I'm...

    Pepsi needs to make a half-Mountain Dew/half-Diet Mountain Dew drink

    I think if Pepsi were to make a drink that's half-Mountain Dew/half-Diet Mountain Dew, that might just usher in an era of peace for all humanity. Whenever I get a fountain drink, that's usually what I do. Well, it'll actually be more 80% Diet Mountain Dew, with that 20% of regular Mountain Dew...

    Transitional Uniforms between TMP and TWOK designs

    If anyone is willing, daring, and/or bored enough, I have a project for you... I've been trying to imagine a uniform that would have existed between the TMP and TWOK. And for some reason I kind of feel like they probably would be closer in style and function to the TMP design, but with the bold...

    How about a limited run animated series set in year 5 of the 5 Year Mission

    Just hear me out... ;) I was thinking the other day on how TOS seasons 1, 2, and 3 are generally considered to be the first three years of the "5 Year Mission", and TAS as year four. Year five has been left untold all these years. And then I got to thinking about how Warner Bros./DC...

    Where are the ranks on the DSC uniforms

    This isn't a negative post or anything. I actually really like the uniforms. But where are the ranks on those uniforms? I thought at first rank was designated by the stripes on the shoulders, kind of like the sleeve strips of the TOS/Kelvin uniforms. But then I realized that wasn't the case...

    Would you accept a TOS-era spinoff with updated visuals, but otherwise kept established continunity?

    I could be way wrong, which I often am, but after watching the teaser released a couple weeks ago for Star Trek: Discovery, I feel like this show might be a little bit of a visual reimagining of the TOS-era, while attempting to keep the established 'story' continuity of the 'Prime Timeline' Star...

    Star Trek Anthology Films

    I'm not one of those Star Trek vs. Star Wars guys. I think you can love both as they really are different from each other in many ways. It's not like comparing Pepsi and Coke; it's more like comparing Coke and rum. But I digress... with Rogue One smashing the box office, and since studio...

    Wall Street Journal article on CBS All Access

    There's a pretty interesting article from The Wall Street Journal about the direction CBS wants to take CBS All Access. It seems like they're shooting for a hybrid of Netflix and services like Sling TV. http://www.wsj.com/articles/cbs-goes-all-in-on-all-access-1481718608 The info presented...

    Here's what I'm watching to get ready for Discovery

    This is kind of a quasi-reply to this thread - http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/what-episodes-films-are-you-watching-in-preparation.283791/. I meant to reply to it when it was first posted, but I really am a spacey person and just forgot. And I know it's frowned upon to revive old threads, so I...

    A Star Trek Multiverse, Phase II

    EDIT: JULY 13, 2016 All I was suggesting was a third timeline, separate from the Original Timeline and the Kelvin Timeline, set in the 2270s, with the TOS characters. They'd use TOS as kind of a vague reference as to where this version of the crew has been, but wouldn't be bound to anything...

    The second Five-Year Mission

    I realize there has never been anything canonical mentioned about the second Five-Year mission, but I'm trying to paint a picture in my head of what it would look like. I have a few questions... 1: What would Kirk's rank be? I'm assuming the second Five-Year mission would be after...

    Novel or Comiv

    Novel or Comic set in TOS era with new ship and crew: your thoughts I love the TOS-era of Star Trek. I have always wanted to see this era expanded with new stories and characters on a different ship. But I realize that CBS is unlikely to do a TV series with this premise, and Paramount...
