    Starfleet before the Federation

    The Phoenix made its warp flight in 2063, and the Federation is founded in 2161. Enterprise gave us a glimpse of pre-Federation Starfleet from 2151 to 2155 plus the NX-01's final mission in 2161. We've four NX-class ships: the Enterprise NX-01 in both the prime and mirror universe, the Columbia...

    Kes Returns - what episode would you have made?

    I know "Fury" is a very sour topic for Lynx and other Voyager fans, so I thought we could have some FUN and take our own shots at a "Kes returns" episode. To guide the conversation, just one rule: it has to be a single episode or two-parter. Beyond that, do whatever you want with your Kes...

    Bring Enterprise (the series) back via animation?

    The Animated Series acted as a 4th season to the original show. Lower Decks acted as a 4th series to 90's Trek. Prodigy acted as a mix of spin-off and sequel to Voyager. Could Enterprise (the series) continue in animated form? Why animated? Well, my idea would be to pick up after S4. With the...

    Godzilla, Kong, and the MonsterVerse

    I am a big fan of the 1998 Godzilla film. I wanted to let people know, Godzilla: The Series (40 episodes) has popped up on The Roku Channel. I never got to see the back 10 or so episodes, so this will be worth revisiting. I also am a big fan of the MonsterVerse. I have the 2014 reboot, Kong...

    Docuseries - I found a cool genre to watch!

    On The Roku Channel, I found some new shows to watch, some docuseries. I've been watching I Survived, Untold Stories of the E.R., and now I've found a third one: I Shouldn't Be Alive. Does anyone else like this kind of stuff? I know when I was a kid, there were a lot of these on local TV, mostly...

    Cheers & Frasier

    I am a big fan of Frasier (1993), I'm on S9, looking forward to the revival seasons when I finish the show. I also want to dive into Cheers and give that a go, I haven't watched it since about 2012, I think. If I understand correct, there's a short lived spin-off called The Tortellis that only...

    USS Reliant - was it a big deal in 1982?

    Rewinding back to 1982: We only had TOS, TAS, TMP, and now... Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. We'd seen other Constitution-class ships in TOS, but was this movie the first time we saw a Starfleet ship that was another class? Dialogue and light blobs don't count. :lol:

    Everwood (2002-06 "The WB" drama)

    Has anyone heard of, seen, or is watching Everwood (2002-06), an old "The WB" drama? It's about two families, both headed by a doctor, the only doctors in town (as of S1 anyway), set in a fictional rocky mountain Colorado town. It's a mostly family drama, the comedy coming from the quirkiness of...

    Dramedy: why is this a thing? (TV shows)

    In the medium of scripted television, why is dramedy a thing? I'm not talking about a sci-fi show like Stargate that has a lot of comedy mixed in. I'm talking about shows that are basically a mix of one-hour drama and half-hour sitcom just squished together. I love Monk, I feel like dramedy...

    Tim Russ was brilliant as Tuvok

    Tuvok was my favorite on the show by far, though I do like everyone in the main cast. There was just something fun about Tuvok and how Tim Russ played him. Whereas Spock overcompensated for being half-human, Tim Russ played Tuvok brilliantly as the porr irritated Vulcan who just wanted to...

    Which shows does LD crossover with?

    I've only seen the first 2 seasons, and not for a long time. I have some crossover questions. #1 I know there are some TNG, DS9, and VOY crossovers. Are there TOS or ENT crossovers? #2 Disco takes place before and after LD, so I don't expect any crossovers here. #3 LD takes place before Picard...

    Starfleet Academy & Robert Picardo: I have a theory...

    The studio, streamer, producers, I feel like someone realized they might have trouble bringing the Trekkies over to Starfleet Academy, mostly aimed at the Discovery audience. I feel like Robert Picardo was brought it to be like, "Look, don't you want to see Picardo as the Doctor from Voyager...

    Seven's Borg Implants (spoilers for S2)

    In S2, Seven of Nine wakes up in Bizarro World thanks to Q changing the past and shielding Picard and friends from the changing timeline. She got to spend 7 1/2 episodes Borg-tech free. :eek: After being fatally stabbed, the Borg Queen saves her via assimilation. Now, she could have just used...

    Which Trek era would you want to live in?

    Which Trek era would you want to live in? I listed the eras in the order we saw them: 23rd, 24th, 22nd, 32nd centuries, and put the Kelvin timeline last. From the available five eras we've seen of Trek, my go-to would be TNG through PIC. Imagine being on the Enterprise-D for 5 years, off to DS9...

    Streaming Trek watch order, does it matter?

    I've been focused on TOS, TNG, ENT; and I've lost touch with some of the streaming shows, though I did get to see all of Picard and Prodigy. I'm kind of wanting to go back to the 2009 reboot film and watch everything from that forward in release order, but then... does it matter? This is what I...

    When did you feel each show found its footing?

    When did you feel each show found its footing? It could be the first episode, a first or second season episode, the show getting retooled mid-series, maybe when a new character joins the cast to shake things up, and so on. So, for each series you like, what's the episode where it "got good?"...

    Jennifer Lein (the actress behind Kes)

    What happened to Jennifer Lein? I went and checked Wikipedia. She got started in 1990, dubbing the voice of the main character in a weird horror movie. She guest starred on Brewster Place, got a recurring role on the soap Another World, and then part of the main cast of Phenom before being...

    Enterprise-D: what did you want to see or see more of?

    The Enterprise-D is freaking massive. There's no way we were ever going to see whole parts of the ship largely due to budget. Unlike TOS, we got an actual shuttlebay set to represent the twin Shuttlbays 2 and 3 on the back of the neck, technically part of the Battle Section. The main shuttlebay...

    The Lord of the Rings - newbie questions!

    I saw these movies back when they first came out, but I haven't seen them in some 20+ years. I have the (theatrical cuts) of the LOTR trilogy. Is the big multi-disc Blu-ray set worth getting if I end up liking the films? Are the Hobbit prequels worth seeing? Then there's several animated movies...

    Season 4: the good, the bad, the fan-service!

    I'm slowly working my way through the final season, taking my time, because... it's the final season. 22 episodes and out. For discussion's sake, I'm going to trim this down to arcs and one offs. That means... Storm Front (2-pater) / Home / Augment trilogy / Vulcan trilogy Daedalus / Observer...
