    Deleted Scenes for III and IV

    It seems like all of the Trek movies have a pretty good collection of deleted footage that you can find either in "special / directors edition" releases or on YouTube. For example, I find a lot of the TWOK deleted scenes, even it it's just audio, very interesting. Does anyone know why there is...

    I never noticed that before...Movie Edition

    With all the movies out in 4k format now, I think it might be interesting to do a "never noticed that before" thread, similar to the one in the TOS forum (link below) to discuss things that we see now but didn't notice in the past. It could be minor visual details or other subtleties...anything...

    "Pen Pals" a Forgotten Gem?

    I haven't watched Pen Pals for easily 15 years, as I did not remember it as a particularly engaging or interesting episode, but I decided to watch it today with my 9-year old son. I have to say, I think it is a really solid episode that I don't think gets much discussion. The A and B stories...

    FC, ENT, and the Mirrorverse

    I have been contemplating something after watching FC recently. Is it possible that we were "living" in the Mirror Universe right up until First Contact day in 2063? What I mean by that is....is it possible that the interactions of the Enterprise-E crew with Cochrane and the town's people...

    TWOK Nebula Battle Question

    So, there's always been something I've wondered about the battle in the Mutara Nebula during TWOK. In the very first exchange of fire after the two ships have entered the nebula, the Enterprise has maneuvered to the Reliant's flank, both ships fire at each other unsuccessfully. The Enterprise...

    Looking Back at S1

    So, I just finished a re-watch of S1 of SNW, and I thought maybe I'd take another look at S1 of DSC, which I haven't watched in several years. I was able to watch the first three episodes, and it was an interesting experience watching it with this much time past and now with 4 other modern...

    Trek Literature Adaptation

    All of the mixed feelings around Trek’s “inability” to hit a home run with the serialized format begs a different type of question: Would it be interesting to see an outright adaptation of some Trek literature…like a novel or series of novels? Many have observed that shows like GOT or Expanse...

    Favorite Control Interface Style

    I find the design elements of Starfleet’s interiors to be absolutely fascinating and I think they are all really cool. If you were to rate your favorite style of control interface aboard Starfleet ships, what would you choose as your favorite? TOS: gumdrops, switches, and buttons: TOS...

    TMP- Which "version" and why?

    Ok, so now that the TMP “full set” has been released, I’m interested in what your favorite version of the film is and why. For me, I always thought that “more was better,” so I longed for the SLV, even though I had not seen it since the VHS days. I loved some of the added dialogue and...

    High Demand for SNW

    Aside from the resoundingly positive reviews thus far...this seems like pretty good news: https://www.thewrap.com/top-new-shows-paramount-plus-star-trek-strange-new-worlds-hbo-max-our-flag-means-death/

    Weakest 10 Episodes

    I've had a lot of fun reading everyone's top 10 TNG episodes in this thread: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/top-10-tng-episodes.310345/ It seems like there are clearly some that are almost universal, and others that are unique to the viewer...so it's been an interesting read. I thought it...

    Trek 2-4 Background Actress

    The recently-closed thread discussing uniforms reminded me of a question I wanted to ask. Does anyone know who the actress is who plays the background enlisted bridge officer in this picture (female, all the way to the left) She appears throughout TWOK, TSFS (on the bridge and during Morrow’s...

    Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago Grading and Discussion

    What did you think of the new edit Stallone pulled together for Rocky IV? The film is available streaming on Apple. I watched it the other night and I thought it was absolutely fascinating, especially as a huge "guilty pleasure" fan of the theatrical cut. It felt much more like a dramatic film...

    Favorite Transporter Visual Effect

    What version of the transporter beam effect is your favorite? I'm tied between the TWOK-TUC movie era visual and the TNG era visual. I guess I'll go TNG era.

    WNMHGB Question

    Is it possible that the powers Gary Mitchell inherited were somehow linked to an alien intelligence or life force of some sort, and not just “absolute power corrupting absolutely?” There are a couple of examples in the episode that seem to imply that Mitchell isn’t completely in command of his...

    “Action” in Star Trek

    Another recent post got me thinking about the controversy that always surrounds the topic of “action” in Star Trek. I’ve never been one to believe that Star Trek is a quiet, intellectual exercise of philosophy and deep contemplation. I grew up with Kirk getting into ridiculous fisticuffs every...

    Event Horizon Series In the Works

    Did anyone pick up on the announcement some time ago that Event Horizon is being developed as a series for Amazon? any news? any thoughts? https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/event-horizon-series-amazon-1203291883/ https://screenrant.com/event-horizon-tv-series-updates-release-date-story/

    Fandom and the “What We Left Behind” Documentary

    I just finished my first rewatch of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in over a decade. Prior to that initial full rewatch 10 years ago, I hadn’t watched more than about 40% of the series when it aired. It was a highly serialized / mythology based series that was hitting stride while I was in college...
