    What streaming shows/movie do you want on physical media?

    So the most frustrating thing about the streaming era is the outright refusal of companies to allow a physical media release of great shows and movies. It's something I've thought about more often, but with the news that Disney is going to sell a WandaVision Steelbook that's literally just an...

    Literary quotes

    Don't know if anyone's interested, but I came across this quote while reading the other morning and it hit me kind of close to home. Put a light on something i've always had trouble with to some extent and lately much more than usual. Anyway, I didn't want to just move on and let it fade away as...

    The Koude Kikker Lounge

    So since it seems most every other country has one and I know there are plenty of Dutch posters here I figured someone should check to see if there's any interest in a lounge for the Netherlands. So what's on your mind? Thinking about the Corona Cruise? Sad (or happy) to see DWDD end? I had a...

    Raising Dion Season 1

    Just dropped on Netflix this weekend. Anyone watching this one? I went through the whole thing yesterday and really enjoyed it. Fun, light-hearted but not without darkness. In particular Alisha Wainwright was great from start to finish and there were some nice twists and interesting...

    O'Brien's career

    So I was rewatching TNG's The Wounded and I suddenly can't help wondering: what the hell is with O'Brien's career path, anyway? He's enlisted and apparently served as basically a ground troop during some part of the Cardassian wars. But under Captain Maxwell he was 'Tactical Officer', like...

    Best Trek Fiction Archives?

    I'm looking to check out some more specifically trek fanfiction and would like to find a nice sized archive to read from (preferrably one with decent web design and that isn't exclusively focused on the characters from the shows), but I'm having a hard time finding a decent site through google...

    Poll The Future of Cinematic Universes

    With the ten year anniversary of the MCU still very recent, I've been thinking about its impact on the industry and the way so many other companies desire to emulate the shared cinematic universe strategy. A number of attempts have already crashed and burned at their first attempt (Ghostbusters...

    Spoilers Thor: Ragnarok Grading and Discussion

    I just saw this yesterday and I was surprised this thread hadn't been posted (I guess it's not out stateside yet). So here it is. My review (SPOILERS): It was a fun ride and a beautiful movie, but not top tier. I think visually it had some of the most gorgeous moments of the MCU. Valkyrie was...

    How to Adress a Petty Officer

    Are there are titles or abbreviations you might use to adress a Petty Officer, other than just 'PO', their name or their full rank?

    Starship Dream Team

    So I'm curious. If you could assemble a dream team of a starship crew from across the whole franchise, regardless of era/timeline, who would you choose? Here's mine: Captain: Sulu XO: Saru CMO: McCoy Chief Engineer: Jaylah Chief of Security: Odo Science Officer: Burnham Tactical: Worf Ops...

    TOS Rewatch

    I've seen this done in several of the other shows forums and since I happen to be starting on a pretty big rewatch now, I though I'd put my thoughts in a thread. I grew up watching TOS on vhs, completely out of order, and I'm honestly not even 100 percent sure we had all the episodes. Since...

    The Sound of Her Voice

    I was just rewatching this episode and a timeline question popped into my head: DS9 season 6 is, iirc, 2374. Cpt. Cusak said she'd been out of the Federation for 8 years, so (as far as the Defiant crew knows) since 2366. They later find out there was a three year time shift in the...

    Minimum crew requirements

    I've been thinking about the idea of a small Fed. Scout ship on an extended mission in uncharted space and I was trying to decide what kind of crew it would have (based on the idea of having the absolute minimum necessary to keep the ship safe and running smoothly). The smallest canon starship I...

    Klingon High Council

    Rewatching 'Way of the Warrior' put a question in my head about the Klingon High Council, and some vague memory in the back of my head insists it must have been answered somewhere in TNG, but for some reason Memory Alpha's info on the subject seems almost limited to things stated in DS9, so I...

    Favor the Bold - "Key to the Alpha Quadrant"

    I was just rewatching Favor the bold, and the scene where Sisko briefs the admirals on his plan to retake DS9 jumped out at me. He says he's confident that the Dominion will choose to oppose his assault on the Bajoran sector, rather than take the opportunity to thrust for some other important...

    STID realistic?

    I was reading an article this morning which was discussing their analysis of starship sizes on fictional shows/films across the decades - apparently ships got increasingly larger through the 80s and 90s and then started to shrink again. They attributed this to the idea that Science fiction in...

    How do you look at the different series?

    I'm curious how everyone thinks about the different series - which things come to your mind - other than the characters, obviously - as being particularly integral to this series rather than that one. For me: TOS is Spaceships, First Contacts, Alternate earths, Energy beings, Klingons (but...

    State of Languages in the Federation

    Reading through the thread about nations surviving into the 24th century got me wondering about languages. Of course the shows make almost constant use of universal translators to avoid having to explain this sort of thing, but we know there must be quite a few languages across the Federation...

    Would you rather have fewer villain stories in the films?

    I'm just wondering how many people would like to see some more hardcore science fiction style films in the future. After watching STiD, I started thinking about all the different ST films and I realized that the last time any of the films told a story that wasn't centered entirely or almost...
