No interest in seeing the CGI versions, made by the same people who think starships turn on a dime and should be in the same shot when they’re thousands of kilometers away from each other. No thank you.

Actually, you see it as early as The Cage, and even earlier, going back to some of the navy movies that inspired Roddenberry. Roddenberry was determined to have that dynamic no matter what. Similarly, it's very interesting to see how he transposed so many of his ideas about the characters from...

Ahem *Bullshit* ahem.

He had a very distinctive voice - and look for his singing role in a haunting episode of the Twilight Zone.

They're already on the second season of this stuff? I thought it hadn't started yet.

ugh. Just look at them. Both Spock and Number One should be cool, aloof, exotic. These pretty people are right out of central casting for Melrose Place. Why doesn't Hollywood cast people who look interesting anymore? TPTB really need to learn, once and for all, that it isn't the names...

This will be unpopular, and is probably not a proper answer to the question asked: I would change the things the fandom obsesses over. Reconciling stardates (and translating them to actual years), mapping space sectors, figuring out the combination to Kirk's safe, pinning down all the things...

The idiot Berman's edict that music should be wallpaper. Before Berman:

I don't know if it's the actress or the character, but she annoys the piss out of me.

Does anyone else think it makes no sense at all for the Federation to have banned androids but not "sentient" holograms, as they have been portrayed in Trek? Certainly Vic and the Voygager EMH are no less "alive" than Data.

What I find interesting, and I'm not sure I can articulate this well, is that a lot of the elements people are discussing here were present in the first two seasons of TNG. One thing that stands out to me is that starting in TNG season 3, and throughout the rest of its run, Voyager and, to a...

bwahahaha - glad to see someone is paying attention.

I don't understand the question. It's a military ship. While the spirit was based on the Napoleonic navies, the workings of starships was based on WWII aircraft carriers. Lots of tight stairs and ladders.

I hate that line. As for the "another Earth" thing, that was one of Rodenberry's selling points when he pitched the series. See page 4 of http://leethomson.myzen.co.uk/Star_Trek/1_Original_Series/Star_Trek_Pitch.pdf

Dude. It was a show made for Americans in the 1960s. Why would they show some expanded universe crap? The show was for that audience, and was ABOUT that audience. Don't get lost in the weeds. Same thing here. Most of the planets looked like sets. That's because they were sets. It didn't...

This is pretty. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000068240290.html

You take it far too literally. Star Trek was not about the future. It was about the 1960s.

Gary Mitchell? 1. I never get tested against a logical opponent. Spock never really directly confronts Mitchell, and he was in a more emotional phase at this time anyway. 2. I directly interact with one primary character extensively, and others less so but still significantly. He converts...

As a lawyer, I've always channeled Shatner as Captain Kirk when giving an opening or closing to a jury. It works for me. I watched that series just waiting to hear one more awesome speech from Shatner... and never got it.
