Tom Cruise needs to make a stake in Star Trek. Mission Impossible, Top Gun Maverick and Jack Reacher are all produced and funded by Cruise. The man is single-handedly keeping Paramount in business.

I was going to make a new thread but I’ll just post my thoughts here. 9 years since the last Trek movie. That’s a longer drought than NEM - 2009. Paramount has not stopped pumping out content for streaming. But they have abandoned the movies entirely. They had something and they’ve let it...

An Extraordinary List! I would add the murder-conspiracy and sabre-rattling plot from the Undiscovered Country. Where Starfleet Admiral Cartwright, Colonel West, Lt. Valeris and those two ensigns who wore the magnet boots, were involved with the assassination of Ambassador Gorkon. Along with...

I recall Nick Meyer saying either in an interview or on TUC commentary; that Uhura being unable to speak Klingon and doing the scene with the books, was supposed to be a lighthearted humor scene. Since the film is so heavy. In retrospect, he acknowledges that the scene is more goofy than...

In TNG season 7 we had: Word’s adoptive brother. Geordi’s mom. Data’s “mom”/Dr. Soong’s wife android. Troi’s dead older sister (Kirsten Dundst). The not son of Picard, Daimon Bok used for revenge. Beverly’s sex candle from her grandmother. Future Alexander traveling back to kill himself. If...

The closest Janeway gets to performing Section 31 type missions is the Omega Directive. The Omega Directive - Classified to the Captain’s rank and above. Janeway says that all Captains are trained on how to deal with Omega particles and neutralize them. Her outburst against the crew of the...

Discovery and TNG season 7.

I’m going to quote myself from the other Section 31 thread. The Romulans had the Tal Shiar and the Cardassians had the Obsidian Order. I’m not against the idea of Section 31. But an out in the open (like in DSC) and loud (like in S31) organization is counterintuitive to the notion that this is...

I agree. There was no spy-craft in this movie. Section 31 should operate like a Cold War, spy thriller. Where investigation and espionage are their primary tactics deployed. The showrunners and actors all stated that their aim was a Guardians of the Galaxy but with Trek. Instead, they...

I have to look up DS9 clandestine missions that could be assigned to Section 31, but were given to Starfleet instead. If anyone can think of some, please list them. I do want to add the murder-conspiracy and Sabre-rattling plot from the Undiscovered Country. Where Starfleet Admiral Cartwright...

A clandestine branch of Starfleet, authorized to undertake extreme measures. With no regards for Federation law and presumably no accountability? Or, an excuse to include a harder edge Starfleet organization. That has all the best toys, breaks all the rules, living life in the fast lane on a...

Kurtzman’s pet project, seven years in the making. And the best he could come up with is Suicide Squad/Mission Impossible in space. With a pinch of Hunger Games, a dash of generic sci-fi, and Star Trek in the title. Kurtzman was one of the writers on Star Trek Into Darkness. Which also...

It’s been 15 years since I watched Destiny. I only remember how Shinn Asuka was done dirty by the cast change and that Destiny was largely derivative of Seed. That is to say, everything Destiny does was better the first time around. When Gundam Seed did it. I know Seed wasn’t set up for a...

That's the big problem with Returns. It's thin story is not supported by it's epic length. SR is 2 hours and 35 minutes long. The same run time as BvS. And next to nothing happens. Take out the nostalgia shot-for-shot, line-for-line elements out of the film and what are you left with? I'm...

Rewatch the finale of INS. Patrick Stewart was hitting the gym big time for those movies. Biceps, forearms and shoulders!

Sadly, TNG only visited the Mirror Universe in novels and comics. At TNG’s peak. This would’ve been something!

This is the same thing they did with Aquaman. A five year gap between releases of one of their biggest hit movies. What are they thinking about? Matt Reeves’ Batman was originally slated for 2025. It’s been pushed back twice now.

Same reason WB kept making DC movies without their A-list characters that the general audience would recognize. These people believe any comic book property would turn in Spider-Man, Batman or Iron Man numbers at the box office. No matter how obscure the character. What’s troubling about the...

Expectation is the route of all disappointment. Man of Steel made $670 million worldwide. WB was expecting it to make $800 million. MOS made more than all Phase 1 MCU films and all X-Men movies released at that time. More importantly, it made more than the last Superman movie, Returns from...

Maybe one day, people will realize that Warner Bros was the true villain in the DCEU’s failure all along. Wonder Woman 1 was a success and positively received. Snyder worked on the story and executive produced it. WW84 was all Patty Jenkins. From the story, directing and reception. Wonder...
