    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    I haven't watched this movie yet. I take it it didn't turn out that great.

    Roberto Orci Dies at 51

    I went to what was supposed to be a free screening of TWOK in 2009 at an Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. I guess I should have known something was up when the line was out the door. Then wouldn't you know it Leonard Nimoy was there with what a big show of it all being a ruse and we actually got to...

    News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+

    Let's review season arcs that didn't have bad guys bent on federation destruction: disco season 4, Picard season 2, pre dominion DS9, Voyager in Delta quad, and lower decks. Disco season 2 might count because after all it's the entire galaxy. Anyhow, point being, fed antagonist villains are...

    Spoilers Section 31 General Discussion Thread

    I just saw the preview short version for the first time before lower decks. Effective pitch. Had a real "random cool thing I think I'll watch next time I'm browsing around Paramount Plus." I think that's what they're going for

    Unless we get some Klingon time crystals involved

    Spoilers Section 31 General Discussion Thread

    Picard season 3 was a turgid, paint by numbers bore. I expect I'll appreciate S31 in the same way I did some of the short treks, Picard s1, and disco s1, as something completely different. This is also why I hope the Risa sitcom gets off the ground and was relieved that legacy never happened...

    Midquest I hung on every word of this post. I feel exactly the same. Thank you

    Alas poor Zora I knew her well

    Spoilers Could it be that we actually already saw 32nd century Klingons, without realizing it?

    Any Star Trek show could retcon the Discovery klingons in 15 seconds of dialogue. Enterprise turned the whole thing into a stupid soong story (Picard season 2 anyone?). One thing modern Trek has done right is not treat alien cultures like monoliths. I sometimes laugh about how every klingon in...

    Spoilers I think I cracked "Calypso"

    43rd century makes a lot of sense as craft seems to have a largely dim memory of the "long ago." This would be less plausible in the 33rd century. Also, sentient life doesn't necessarily need company; that's anthropomorphizing Zora. We may presume for instance that the sphere itself had...

    Your postmortem thoughts on DISCO

    Very well thought out. The TCW was a lazy sleight of hand in Enterprise, and Discovery doubled down on it. However, this is not unlike the way Enterprise turned the whole klingon thing into a virus. Why? Give me a break. Sometimes Star Trek samson-like is crushed by its own weight in the writers...

    100% and there also will be an assessment of what Discovery and Picard could have been if covid, the big (small?) elephant in the room, had not gotten in the way

    Your postmortem thoughts on DISCO

    Without the Burn, we would have just had a triumphalist post temporal cold war federation. I don't think season 3 was executed perfectly, but I loved the Ursula Le Guin callback in the finale, and at least the future remains interesting

    Need Worf reprising trials and tribblations saying that's something we don't discuss. Big missed opportunity in Picard S3

    Your postmortem thoughts on DISCO

    Maybe now the prequels are considered consistent with the artistic vision of Star Wars, but when they came out, especially phantom menace and that one with the thing about disliking sand, many considered them an utter travesty, wholly divorced from the first three movies. Every star trek going...

    I remember rec arts startrek newsgroup and believe me there was social media for Star Trek back in the day. Guess it was a pioneer there too.

    Your postmortem thoughts on DISCO

    It's my third favorite trek series, after DS9 and TOS. I have a hard time imagining anything else will ever come close.

    Judging by the tone of Landau's show Nancy Drew, I think it's probably a safe bet that there won't be any musicals or other SNW type shenanigans

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x10 - "Life, Itself"

    Yeah I grew up on TOS, and then TNG, DS9, kinda was hit and miss with VOY (watched it years later and enjoyed it), but Discovery was my Star Trek and always will be, I'll be sitting in that captains chair drinking the green stuff on a holodeck waxing nostalgic. Love the rest of the new shows...

    What if Zora is all Dora's dream, kinda like a Benny Russell thing, child explorer, ultimate paramount property crossover episode. "Boots, ¡ya tuve un sueño increible!"
