Riker is a captain in his own right, and he is the captain of the Titan during these two episodes, not Picard. Riker has his own view of how the situation should be handled, and when he rejects Picard's suggestions, Picard tries to manipulate Riker's past trauma to get his own way. Picard...

Paramount continue to suck. I'm hoping they relent again and put it on something else like they did for Discovery. If they're holding it to try and tempt viewers to sign up to Paramount+ when it's available in their region, I'm sceptical about how well that will work. People interested in the...

Bit late but I have to agree. It's possible to get less waxy looking results but unless the source material is reference quality the improvements tend to be subtle at best. I think a lot of people go with the more aggressive upscaling models that feature strong denoising because the results can...

So Paramount's plan to attract international Star Trek fans as customers is to treat them with contempt? An interesting strategy. If Paramount+ was available now, they'd done this only in the countries where it is available, and they'd announced it some time ago, this wouldn't be so bad...

Why do I rate it higher than it might deserve? I think it boils down to three main reasons: I really like the interactions between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. "The Mountain" is one of if not my favourite piece of music from a Star Trek soundtrack. Probably most importantly, it was the first Trek...

I always interpreted it as referring to the crew, but the term decommission is more often applied to ships and equipment, so I'm not really sure. My head canon is that the ship was intended to receive a new crew but was retired due to damage sustained, not to mention it being a ageing design...

It's not my favourite, but I've always enjoyed it and never found it boring. I've always liked very "visual" movies so the gratuitous ship porn has always appealed to me, but I can understand perfectly why it would seem tedious to someone else.

This has also been my pet theory since seeing the reaction from some fans since 2009. Thing is, I get the feeling that what some people are using as that gold standard is an imagined perfect version of TNG rather than the show in its entirety, and they ignore, consciously or not, anything in the...

I could only give this a 7 due to two things irritating me intensely: Burnham completely ignoring Nhan when she was potentially dying on the floor, and the lack of any on screen reason for why Nhan and Airiam couldn't have been beamed back. You don't die instantly in a vacuum either, so it...

That was the vibe I was getting too, but then I have a very dirty mind. I really hope that's not the direction they go.

They'd probably contact the host of their site. If there was no site, no contact details, and releases were just dumped somewhere or other? No idea.

I subscribe to the idea that it was simply a faster warp engine than previously available, and it was perhaps the catalyst for the recalibration of the warp scale seen in TNG. The idea that the Excelsior's engines failed never really made sense to me. Why would the first activation of...

No thanks. Though the concept wasn't original, Q was a fresh nemesis for Picard in TNG, and their arc ended nicely with "All Good Things". I didn't appreciate him turning up in Voyager, and I'm absolutely not in favour of any character or race introduced as new in TNG returning in Discovery.

Hopefully not. By going back to that particular well far too often, the Borg went from an original and scary enemy to overly familiar and played out. I'm pretty confident we won't see them. There are new stories to tell, and the current producers don't seem to have the rather conservative need...

Another vote for the evidence suggesting that warp speed is possible from a standstill. In my mind, and based on the way warp speed has been stated to work, there doesn't seem to be a good reason why a ship would have to transition from real velocity to warp velocity. TMP was probably the...

Do I hate it? No - it's impossible to hate something that hasn't even started filming. Do I have a great deal of scepticism about it? Yes. I hate the ship design. It looks like a crappy kitbash of a starship and something else, a problem which the McQuarrie design had. Also, I'm not a fan of the...

Out of interest, when you say "here in the UK", what are you referring to? The original cinema release, TV, DVD? I ask as I don't recall ever seeing that title variant. That being said, my memory can be a little fuzzy, and I wish I still had my taping of the first TV showing, and a VHS player...

V'ger wasn't going to be a part of that madness. A universe of knowledge transmitted at 1970's data rates? Ouch! :lol:

The graph shouldn't be taken alone since the text underneath the chart does specify Warp 10 as infinite speed. To quote: "Our solution was to redraw the warp curve so that the exponent of the warp factor increases gradually, then sharply as you approach Warp 10. At Warp 10, the exponent (and the...

I can't explain exactly what I mean by this but she just doesn't look right to me in those mugshots, it's not just ageing and it's not something that was true of the mugshot from three years ago. This is her second strange run in with police this year, and both sound like they could be related...
