    Spoilers Q&A With Alex Kurtzman about Season 2 and the Finale

    Not racial purity, as such. But fear. They had the same fears that have been sweeping the real world and led to the rise of the far right. Those foreigners are coming in and they'll change us, they'll make us different. We have to take a stand. From my world perspective, that fear is very...

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    ^ Indeed. I've only came on to see if anyone had it yet - I got the £1 reservation pre-order deal and I've still not been charged the full amount yet.

    Random speculations thread!

    Are you certain thats black? I've seen this image posted a few times - nd it seems odd that for all the people snapping every uniform for costuming reasons, we only have a close up of a black uniform. Aside from that, it does look a bit blue to me. I've got hold of the fabric (well, a...

    Photoshop Hair Onto These Klingons

    Yep. Thats been my joke theory for a while. Baldness to them is like a beard to hipsters of today. Hipster Klingons. I won't accept any other explination.

    Spoilers R rated content - what does it add?

    If they were going own that route, the flashbacks we've seen wouldn't really be a fake out. If what we saw was torture; it was painful, horrific and unwanted. If what we saw was a forced transition (and more), it was painful, horrific and unwanted. Either way what happened would effect both...

    Spoilers R rated content - what does it add?

    Tyler was tortured for seven months, L'Rell (his apparent reason for surviving) was stranded for six of those months. So that one month gap is where Voq was lost and Tyler appears.

    Stupid sexy Klingons! :(

    Favorite DSC characters (after season finale)

    Why can't I select Lorca twice?

    Spoilers R rated content - what does it add?

    Indeed. I live in a fairly progressive country that - while not perfect - celebrates equality and heavily protests pretty much anything negative or backwards. We've also got that art and culture thing down, despite the view of us all being a bit Groundskeeper Willy. And yet, colourful metaphors...

    Spoilers R rated content - what does it add?

    ^ Indeed! Scary was a good chunk of conversations. And not 'Doctor Who' barely registering scary, but proper scary for a kid. I recall the mystique of Freddie Kruger when I was 8. The school was buzzing about it being banned, so we HAD to see it! T2? Nine year old me was fascinated by the almost...

    Bad Language in Discovery

    Thats partly where I've been surprised; I've had them sit down and watch the most unexpected things. I got two of them to not only sit and watch Beyond, but ask for more (they didn't like Nemesis or insurrection, but no one does so thats ok :p). I was incredibly surprised they voluntarily...

    When will Burnham get her rank back?

    Indeed. A convenient scapegoat mixed with assumed information (or inflated - she did spill blood first, that could be easily twisted) and an officer who clearly didn't want to defend herself. She mutinied against her captain by Vulcan knockout and takeover. The entirety of the situations been...

    Bad Language in Discovery

    As adults our view of what appeals to kids and what they'd understand is highly skewed. When I was still doing live performance stuff, I got a load of abuse for changing the tone of the show from what we traditionally see as kiddie friendly, to challenging and more complex tones (well, as much...

    Discovery a Netflix hit

    While I do grumble at things being left off (shows like Shameless, American Horror Story, Gotham etc are all well behind) and other shows exclusive to the US due to distribution rights, there is plenty. But most of it comes down to Netflix Originals that have been developed over time. Such as...

    Spoilers The game changing Voq theory

    There are things that are undeniably true that support the theory - though I'll echo others in the theory being speculative in nature. Javid Iqbal not existing being one, the crediting scenario being another. Evidence against it would potentially be another logical explanation for that.

    CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

    I'm half tempted to start my own fan film awards. The winner will be chosen by silent auction.

    Discovery a Netflix hit

    Those were hard days - especially as I was barely a teenager. Bit odd that my first jobs were essentially gained for the sole purpose of buying Star Trek videos! Viewing figures for streaming sites are always going to be all over the place due to them not having strict schedules. Sense8 gained...

    Discovery a Netflix hit

    It really did. I gave up and ended up renting from Blockbuster, eventually buying the tapes as soon as they were released - a good couple of years ahead of the BBC! $6 a month would have been absolute bliss then!

    Discovery a Netflix hit

    Indeed! When the All Access subscription was being debated here, I was just absolutely delighted that I wouldn't have to shell out for Sky! There were figures posted somewhere that showed a positive viewership for Discovery, coming behind the Ozark (also quite a good show!) but it was only a...

    Would it be cool if a older verison ofT'Pol should up a guest character?

    I dunno. She did sneak out to that jazz club one time. She's quite the rebel.
