Well the title is self explanatory. :) Does anyone remember what it felt like? Did anyone think Tasha would come back after the commercial? Also how much of a secret was it before the airing?

I noticed that, except for a couple of threads dedicated to specific works, there isn't a thread dedicated to anime! I wasn't sure what sub-forum to put this in, but since the vast majority of anime discussed in the West are Sci-fi/fantasy in nature, I thought this would be the right place! I...

I think a good part of people here knows the story behind the first casting of the protagonist of "Back to the Future". Michael J. Fox was not available and Eric Stoltz was chosen. But his type of acting was not suitable for what was a comedy, he was fired and MJF who had become available was...

Not much to add to the title :) I tried googling a bit but I couldn't find a definitive answer. Maybe when it was built it was already thought that saucer separation was (narratively speaking) not a good idea?

I just re-watched the very famous "Get A Life" skit and one thing I noticed is how TOS episodes are referred to in dialogue: , "Errand of Mercy" is episode 51, "This side of paradise" as episode 25 and "The Enemy Within." is episode 37. What are these numbers supposed to represent? The...

I remember the post-Enterprise dark times, when it seemed like there was no room for Star Trek in the 21st century (in fact, I think it seemed that way even DURING Enterprise). Now I feel like I'm living in a golden age. Instead I see a lot of people criticizing: "Oh no, they made the wrong...

From description: "From Skydance, Production I.G, Masashi Kudō and Mattson Tomlin comes one of the most anticipated anime series of the year, TERMINATOR ZERO. Starring Timothy Olyphant, Rosario Dawson, Sonoya Mizuno, André Holland & Ann Dowd - TERMINATOR ZERO premieres on August 29th (Judgement...

I guess you know what I mean. Every now and then, in some film or TV series there is the classic Trekkie nerd with perhaps a t-shirt and who harasses some unfortunate with minutiae and details from the television series. He sometimes wears a classic series t-shirt or speaks in Klingon. This...

I've been surprised at how many of these I've seen, even the ones considered "bad." Calling them all "knock-off" verses is a little unfair, but there is no doubt that without Lucas' 1977 film none of these works would have existed.

Me first!

Civil War is a 2024 dystopian action film written and directed by Alex Garland. The film stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Nick Offerman. Its plot follows a team of journalists who travel across the United States during a rapidly escalating Second...

This is a question that arose from the thread Pre-2009 Star Trek and LGBTQI+ representation: simple disinterest or active hostility?. One reason given for the lack of LBGTQI+ representation in TNG was that it was considered a "family show". This made me think. First of all I tried to understand...

This question came to mind while reading some news stories. Suppose that today, IRL, you work in some organization, civilian (a company) or military (army, navy etc). It turns out that on a co-worker's work computer or smartphone he has AI-made and deepfake porn films starring him and his...

(This is a discussion born from this thread: Keeping Tasha) We all know that the representation of lbgtqi+ themes and people before the new films and tv shows in Star Trek has been, well, less than satisfactory. The question that arose in the discussion dedicated to Tasha Yar was whether this...

As you all know, the initial idea was that the Enterprise crew would have to bring their families with them as they were engaged in a very long mission "where no one has gone before". In reality this concept has been used very little or not at all (I think not even 2-3 episodes on this?). I...

(the idea for this thread came to me when the scientific inconsistencies in the one dedicated to Space 1999 were discussed) We all know that works of fiction take liberties in the name of creativity (because, rightly, they are not documentaries). We as viewers know this, but in the name of...

Well, like the title said: how much time passed from the death of Luke's adoptive parents to when the Millenium Falcon was captured by the Death Star? I'm curious about how much of the Way of the Jedi Obi-Wan taught Luke when the former was still alive and I have the impression that the total...

I mean, if the droids hadn't come to Tatooine. It was clear that his uncles had no intention of letting him start on the path of the Jedi. So? Was Ben's plan to wait for them to die? Furthermore, there was also the risk that Luke would start a family in the meantime. Or leave the planet. What...

I was seeing this scene in an old episode of Mission Impossible (but you've probably seen it in many other films of the time). Our heroes stick a box the size of a cigarette pack on the bad guys' car. Then our heroes manage to follow the villains' car to some device, where a red dot moves on a...

I don't know if you folks have heard, but the most watched Netflix show of 2023 was (drumroll)... THE NIGHT AGENT! When I read it I was like, "Huh?" I hadn't read any reviews about it, I hadn't seen online discussions about it, I vaguely remembered that Netflix had included it among the...
