Christopher Plummer passed away today at age 91. Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/movies/christopher-plummer-dead.html He was a stellar actor, without a doubt. What are some of your favorite memories of his roles in cinema? Kor

Ongoing spoilers expected as new episodes are released, or if new behind-the-scenes info is revealed, etc... So, it's rather interesting that in the aftermath of the infamous stellar disaster, the Romulan Star Empire has seemingly given way to something called the "Romulan Free State." What...

I searched to see if there was already a thread on this, and I couldn't find any. Within the last month, there have been some minor indications that executives at Fox may possibly be warming up to the idea of bringing the cult classic Firefly back to television in some form. In an article on...

Along the lines of the thread that's been going on for some time in the TOS forum, here's a lighthearted look at what characteristics could possibly identify someone as a TNG fan. You might be a TNG fan if... You tug the front of your shirt down when you stand up or when you sit down. You say...

Are there any particular Trek storylines that you really wish had been revisited? Of course, there are the TNG "Conspiracy" aliens which were unceremoniously dropped in favor of the Borg. How about the computer "puppy" from DS9 "The Forsaken?" Did O'Brien forget all about it and leave it...

Another star of classic Hollywood movies is no longer with us, after a severe case of pneumonia. Source: https//www.apnews.com/b9a04d9ab2ce4276b2f6bdb6b39af585 Kor

Over the years, I have noticed that some viewers refuse to even consider watching anything of a particular genre or format; for instance, westerns or superhero movies, or anything animated. I seek to understand the reasoning behind rejecting an entire genre, as I consider compelling...

I put the spoiler tag here because it deals with information revealed in "Brother," which not everyone has had a chance to watch yet. So it was made clear that Pike and the Enterprise "sat out the war," as they were away on a five-year mission and Starfleet didn't recall the ship to participate...

As you may know, for many years here on TrekBBS, there has been a trend of collaborative Star Trek storytelling threads, not unlike the practice of friends sitting around a campfire and developing a story by going around the circle and having each person add a sentence. There is generally a...

Margot Kidder, known to genre fiction fans for playing Lois Lane in the 1978-1987 series of live-action Superman movies, passed away yesterday (Sunday the 13th) at the age of 69. Here's Variety's coverage: http://variety.com/2018/film/news/margot-kidder-superman-actress-dead-dies-1202809752/...

If you haven't watched the last batch of episodes, there are spoilers ahead. I hope I'm not re-treading well-trodden ground too much here... I avoided the forum until I actually had a chance to watch the episodes, so that nothing would be spoiled for me. I see there has already been a lot of...

In case you haven't seen the movie yet, there be SPOILERS ahead. So please don't proceed if you don't want the movie to be SPOILED before you watch it. Since many discussions about The Last Jedi seem to get sidetracked onto the topic of the First Order fleet's pursuit of the Resistance ships...

Medicine is a special field, with unique concerns that don't have exact analogues in any other professional field. It involves very difficult and sensitive decisions, sometimes with potentially life-altering or life-or-death ramifications, and we have seen this a number of times across the Trek...

Despite all that it did to expand the Star Wars mythos, I think that ROTJ is pretty much universally considered to be the weakest of the original trilogy. Here is an opportunity for positive constructive criticism. What are the aspects of ROTJ that you believe could have been stronger, and how...

Cuisine doesn't seem to get much attention around these parts, so here's something a little different for discussion. Every year around this time, certain special food and drink items become common. You start to see pumpkin pies and cartons of eggnog in the grocery stores, along various...

Here is your chance to speculate as to how the scenario would have played out if a captain and crew from one series encountered a situation from a different series. For example, what if Kirk had found himself and the Enterprise stranded 75,000 light years from home? What if Picard was in charge...

I believe that forgotten movie and TV genres of the 1950s and 1960s live on in their own way, through the continued presence of Star Trek in popular culture. This was thanks largely in part to the behind-the-scenes idea of "Parallel Worlds." Per the 1964 pitch entitled Star Trek is...: Here...

So I looked and looked, and I couldn't find an existing thread on this. After a year of waiting since the pilot episode premiered on Amazon Video and Amazon ordered a full season, the season will finally become available tomorrow! Looks like a rollicking good time, right? And a nice update to...

Does anyone else have a fixation on this genre? My tastes lean more toward the classic black and white stuff. It showed a world of grit and moral ambiguity on the underbelly of the innocent surface glitz and glamor that people often associate with old Hollywood and vintage eras through today's...

So what's in your Star Wars head canon? Recently in the context of Star Trek discussions, there has been a tendency to refer to 'head canon,' by which fans individually regard certain events or other details that came from outside of canon sources to be part of the story's universe. Head canon...
