    Cheron

    Anyone actually more interested in this guy's story than the protagonists? Think about it. Guy could be 50,000 years old and watched his civilization destroy itself in a civil war over nothing. And he's at that bar surrounded by oddballs of every sort drinking.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Resurgence story thread

    Basically, what the title says. This is a thread to discuss Star Trek: Resurgence's story and not the gameplay, release, or other elements. You can discuss characters, story arcs, and the overall plot here as well as what you thought could have been done better or worse. Overall, I felt the...

    Your postmortem thoughts on DISCO

    Exactly what it says on the tin. Basically, in hindsight, what did you think of DISCO as a whole? I feel DISCO never really found its footing. It came close in Season 3 but they didn't want to engage with rebuilding a galaxy and democracy. It was all magically solved by finding a planet sized...

    Spoilers TNG: Survivors by Jean Lorrah Review Thread

    The character's ages

    So, Boimler graduated the Academy in '79 (same year as Nemesis), so he's in his early 20s in Lower Decks, assuming he's not a child prodigy like Wesley. Rutherford and Tendi seem similar, Mariner is older by nearly a decade (she's been serving since at least 2372, or season 4 of DS9), so she's...

    Where I re-read Star Trek: Vanguard

    STAR TREK: VANGUARD was a series that I didn't really know what I was getting into when I first picked up a copy of Harbinger. I was a big fan of NEW FRONTIER and had read individual works like the Department of Temporal Investigations but was not really familiar with either @David Mack or other...

    Harry Kim promotion theory

    Janeway actually didn't have the authority to promote people on VOY and was only providing "Acting" Commander, Lieutenant Commander, and Lieutenant ranks for Chakotay, B'elanna, and Tom Paris while they were on VOY. The reason that Harry Kim was never promoted was because as a "real" Starfleet...

    [Humor] What does Kelpian taste like?

    The Mirror Universe obviously knows something that only the Ba'aul know. I'm guessing shellfish. How about you?

    Season 4's Aesop really annoys me

    I have to say that the premise of Season 4 bugs the hell out of me. I think it's a matter of regional history and where the metaphor bends in the wrong way. Basically, I live in Appalachia and there's a lot of mining in our history. There's also a lot of horrifying pollution, deaths, and...

    What does "Remain Klingon" mean to you?

    T'Kuvma is a character that was cut short in his existence far too soon and seems to have been a character a lot of audiences dismiss as just an evil reactionary. Certainly, he was a deeply flawed character but I also think of him more like Gowron rather than Duras. He's a character with intense...

    Jessie Gender's rewatch of DISCO and what we think

    Jessie Gender is one of my favorite geek media/political Youtube commentators. I don't always agree with her conclusions and thinks she reaches quite a bit to reach some of her conclusions but generally enjoy her reviews of just about all of Nu Trek as well as other works. She's also honest in a...

    Will Lower Decks ever promote Harry Kim?

    I really want this episode at some point. Have Harry Kim guest star or at least appear in some art as a Five pip Admiral. OR still as an Ensign. Either would be cool.

    Spoilers The biggest revelation of episode 3

    The fact that Beverly and Picard have apparently four other relationships we didn't know about! Possibly through TNG!

    Peter David dedication

    I was working on an article for a blog I regularly review for and I thought I'd share what I've got so far: BOOKS THAT MADE ME: PETER DAVID'S STAR TREK: NEW FRONTIER By. CT Phipps Peter David made me as an author. This is something that occurred to me when I was looking over the reports of...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Resurgence

    On a windswept planet bordering the notoriously hostile Talarian Republic, a scientist on the cusp of developing technology that will revolutionize warp goes missing. The crew of the U.S.S. Resolute is tasked with an urgent stealth mission to recover Dr. Leah Brahms and keep her research out of...

    Spoilers What is the connection between Doctor Soong and Khan Singh?

    I think the show was implying that Adam Soong was the creator of Khan in the Nineties. I mean, they do have suspiciously similar names. This would also make La'an possibly a relative of the Soong family. What do you guys think?

    A missed opportunity: Khan vs. Spock

    I never thought of this until Into Darkness but now can't help but wish it was the case. Basically, it occurs to me that as much as Khan and Kirk are archenemies, a fight both mental and physical between Spock vs. Khan was something that would have been interesting to see. We got a hint of it in...
