Should Paramount put a mid-budget Star Trek film into theaters? There have been so many super expensive flops in the theatres lately, the Flash, Indiana Jones 5, Fast X, etc. I think the old pre-Kelvin Star Trek films made money by not having a massive budget. I liked Beyond, but I thought it...
Who is the mastermind in Season 3 of Picard? Vadic is taking orders from some mysterious floating head, who wants to deal a mortal blow to the Federation on Frontier Day and seems to have the ability to harm Vadic, so this person is powerful and has some sort of grudge against the Federation.
Would you want a Star Trek TV series or movies set during the ''lost era"? So the lost era would be in the time between Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country and the first season of Star Trek the Next Generation, so the years of 2293 to 2364, which would be over 70 years. This could be a...
Did Picard finally ''right the ship'' with Picard season 3?
I thought Picard season 1 started out well with the mysterious Romulan plot, but I think it became a jumbled mess at the end when they go to the android planet and have giant ''Mass Effect'' killer robots from another dimension almost...
It's been over 5 years since the last Star Trek movie was released and it didn't do great at the box office. Since then, there have been several attempts to launch a fourth Star Trek Kelvin movie, but they all just kinda flamed out.
There has been a lot of Star Trek since Beyond was released...
What do you think of the voice acting in this show?
I find it interesting that Gwyn's voice actor is British, but she sounds American in this show. I like the contrast between Rok-Tahk voice and her appearance. Its kinda fun having Mulgrew back as Janeway.
Both the Orville and Lower Decks are comedic takes on Star Trek, one a parody of the franchise, the other a comedic spin off series. Which do you think is better, Lower Decks or the Orville?
I have seen a couple of videos that look back at Star Trek 2009:
These videos think Star Trek 2009 holds up, but the second video thinks the later movies squandered the momentum that Star Trek 2009 built.
I saw this article about the Orions being expanded upon through Tendi in Lower Decks and the Emerald Chain in Discovery:
https://slate.com/culture/2021/01/star-trek-discovery-lower-decks-orions-sex-slaves-pirates.html
It does seem like a lot of Star Trek alien races were expanded upon...
I saw this interesting article, on why Star Trek has not had much in terms in the realm of animation until recently:
https://screenrant.com/star-trek-animated-shows-controversial-why/
There was an idea at Paramount to do a Star Trek animated series in the 90s, that combined the original...
Was it a mistake to kill Kirk in Star Trek Generations? This article seems to think so, saying it was a move made without foresight that harmed the franchise long term:

It looks like Disney is vastly increasing the amount of live action Star Wars in the near future:

Star Wars traditionally has not been involved in live action...
I don't know if anyone has been keeping up with entertainment news, but Warner Bros is having its entire slate of movies in 2021 to HBO Max and theatres at the same time:

Also we have seen some big movies go directly to...
Something Warner Bros has been doing since 2007 was making direct to DVD (later VOD) animated movies about DC comic book characters. So should Viacom CBS make direct to VOD animated Star Trek movies? You can adapt stories from the novels or the various comics and not have to worry about a huge...
I know only 2 episodes of Lower Decks has been released (we can expand this topic as new episodes come out), but so far, how does Lower Decks compare to Star Trek the Animated Series?
I know this may seem unfair, given the almost 50 year gap between the 2 shows, but Lower Decks is better in...
