    Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

    They can't tease Quinlan Vos like that and not deliver on it! (Can they?) The planned Quinlan Vos storyline could be baked into another project that takes place in the same era. I'm hoping to see Quinlan Vos and Kenobi team up as a B story in something else. It could serve as a spiritual second...

    Star Trek the Next generation in 70 episodes, -- the streaming model

    Fun experiment. There's a chance you could save some of the A or B plots from the cut episodes because 90s Trek was always 41.5 minutes give or take for commercials. Current streaming models have episodes closer to an hour or more. So you'd likely be able to re-edit some of the elements of cut...

    Spoilers Season 3 wild speculation

    This is what my thoughts went to immediately. Something like this: Events of Yesterday's Enterprise sends crew of Enterprise-C to the past/back to their original point in the timeline. After the battle, the crew of the Enterprise C are taken to Romulus, tortured or killed etc? We know the...

    Status Quo complaints everywhere

    Thread title got me by the Buzz Lightyear memes. Conflict between characters wasn't a priority in TNG insofar as the series regulars were concerned. I always felt this was by design - more importantly it created the need for that conflict in DS9 and VOY. My understanding is that the creation...

    I need encouragement with Voyager

    You'll want to see Future's End I/II and Macrocosm is fun, in different ways. Personally I love Before & After and Real Life... also Worst Case Scenario. I think there's too much to pass up, although I agree S3 has some stinkers and yes, overall I think it's valid to say some of Voyager is like...

    Did Ro Even Like Those People?

    Wow, Ro really did say 'Token Bajoran' that episode, didn't she? I love her. Agreed that a few expanded Ro stories should have been there, precious few Ro TNG episodes I'm afraid. Eight in total. My feeling was that she'd gone on missions and bonded with the bridge crew and those details were...

    Spoilers The Clone Wars - Season 7 Discussion [SPOILERS]

    Agreed! When they teased a different ending than the reels, I thought were just going to have him die or something after all that effort to get him back! Oh! Ahsoka's new jumpsuit/flightsuit, whatever she's wearing it's great. This part of her story is an awkward transition to 'regular joe'...

    Over it

    Was reading something recently about the consumer being unhappy if there are too many or too few choices. This could be an interpretation of that feeling. Personally I came of age in the early 80s. Back then I felt there was a finite amount of TV and film. You could catch up on most everything...

    Spoilers The Mandalorian | Disney+ | Streaming Nov. 12

    Wow, seven years ago Temis the Vorta called it in this thread! An impressive premonition. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/casting-ahsoka-tano.205954/ It will be interesting to hear Ashley's reaction to this. Support I'm sure, but I wonder what it would have been like if they'd cast her...

    Let´s talk about the new Romulan ships?

    That's a good point about resources. Every new Romulan ship seems really small to be, tbh. That nice close up of the final ship near the end of 1x09 couldn't have been much larger than the (DS9) Defiant. Color, texture of the hull looked right to me. I was also expecting the "Snake Head" ships...

    Poll Should Riker have been allowed to have a beard?

    Starfleet seems pretty progressive. I think when it comes to facial hair, it's no holds barred. You need special permission for a shoulder sash or an earring.

    Game The Most Disliked Visit To Earth's Past

    Time's Arrow Part II. It's such a fun and quality conclusion to TNG's epic time travel two-parter. Great moments as Guinan and Data try and outwit Sam Clements, also his travel to the 24th century and then back to his own time, seeing how Picard meets Guinan for the first time. Also included...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x09 - "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1"

    I hope we'll see a conflict between Riker/Titan and the inevitable fleet that comes to arrest Picard. Clancy is SOOOOO in on the Commodore Oh fix. I think Picard even foreshadows her downfall in ep 2 when he first goes to her office to ask for a ship. He says: "Ignore me at your peril" or...

    The Admiral "F***ing" Clancy Appreciation Thread

    Still love that scene where she tears into Picard (maybe episode 2?) when he comes to ask for a ship. It helps assert the tone early on that Picard's influence has dwindled considerably by 2399. I'm expecting Clancy to get obliterated by Oh somehow.

    Spoilers It seems that Data's backstory might be retconned back to the original version...

    Spoilers Let’s talk about the destruction of Trek utopia…

    Seems more like deconstruction than destruction of utopia. It's fun to bluster, but in two weeks the entire season is over and the scope of what kind of storytelling will have been revealed. Everything I've seen so far seems to lead up to a whole bunch of reset-buttoning and course-correcting...

    Spoilers Episode 7 "Nepenthe"

    It is possible to get rid of the hate-watching vids from your suggested videos on YouTube. It's kind of like weeding a garden - whenever a "Here's everything that SUCKS about _____ / terrible SJW propaganda" comes up in your feed, there's a drop down option under the three dots to the right of...

    The High Republic: A more civilized age...

    Cool announcement. An entirely new era to explore. I'd be excited, if I knew what specifically to be excited about! :cool: Jk, I know it's publishing. Publish away, Disney. But I'll reserve real pan-galactic excitement for future tv series' and films.

    Kurtzman: DS9 characters could appear in Picard

    I've been reading never, no way would Brooks return for years and years and years and years after DS9 ended. Now I'm reading rumors that he could return, certainly the playing field post-Star Trek Picard is different. Maybe watching the What We Left Behind doc swayed his feelings on it. If he...
