    Anyone else annoyed that there are no TOS Klingons in SNW yet?

    The throw-away line by Worf in "Trials and Tribble-ations" was meant to be a wink-wink joke to the audience. The correct response to the writer who proposed the Augment Virus was "You're fired!", instead of "Let's beat this nonsensical idea to death over several episodes and series!!!!"

    Anyone remember how big of an event the series finale "All Good Things" was back when it aired?

    I had the singular privilege of attending City TV's TNG Finale show at the Skydome (now Rogers Centre) in Toronto. Esitmated 40,000 Trek fans in one place! They showed Yesterday's Enterprise (viewers voted on their favourite episode), and it was followed by All Good Things -- all displayed on...

    Would you have liked more episodes dedicated to Picard's Borg recovery?

    "Family" was the first time we see our heroes without their "makeup", so to speak. They're people with families, flaws, feelings, the whole nine yards. It was incredibly refreshing to have the off the ship (even though Worf was still on) and doing things real humans do. We'd never seen something...

    The USS Drake

    Riker was testing him. Everyone knows the USS Drake was destroyed by the USS Kendrick Lamar.

    Enterprise-A Questions

    OMG, I did that! I was one of the crew members who got to beam down to the planet and beat the Klingons with the huge rocks (obviously not in that particular video). No idea where the VHS tape is. I should digitize it before it's gone. The ending to STIV should have been what happened in the...

    Tron: Ares

    The whole foundational premise of TRON -- digitizing people into computers -- makes no sense! But there was a time when things didn't have to "make sense" in a sci-fi/fantasy film. I'm all for hard science in films, but if they want to sell me on something fantastical, that's fine with me. As...

    Tron: Ares

    But you're speculating aimlessly and coming to the conclusion that you don't like the film. Sorry, but not interested.

    Tron: Ares

    It sounds like it isn't the only one. Greta Lee's character is described as having developed some "world changing technology". This is a science fiction film, not a documentary. And you haven't seen the film, so how do you know they aren't taking over computers, traffic lights, Teslas, etc....?

    Tron: Ares

    From my 2023 OP in this thread, when Variety ran a story on the synopsis: It does sound like Greta Lee's character has a "world-chaning technology" that is probably along the lines of what you're suggesting. A tourism bridge from the real to computer world. OR, it could be she figured out a way...

    Tron: Ares

    So, CLU's plan was to bring an entire unarmed army out of the Grid into the real world -- in a huge troop carrier -- and then simply dump them on the ground because the carrier would de-rez on entry? I'm pretty sure the ships they were bringing out were armed. CLU was somewhat CLUless (see what...

    Tron: Ares

    That's putting it mildly. He was nominated for three Oscars for Best Score and won two! "The Social Network" (2010) and "Soul" (2020). He was nominated for "Mank", also in 2020 (so technically he was never going to win three).

    Tron: Ares

    Well, this has been the premise since 1982 -- the Digital world invading the real world. So it's not like it's something new.

    Season 3 First Look

    Paul Wesley in the retro scene at the beginning is almost a spitting image for Jeffrey Hunter. It also looked like they were on the original USS Callister!

    Did Han and Luke eat the Tauntaun?

    In France, they call it a "Royale with Cheese".

    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    Late to the party, but holy crap! That was awful! In fact, I couldn't make it past the point where they stun Georgiou. It's like someone found a generic sci-fi script and decided it would be Star Trek by putting in two known characters -- with the required nod to Garrett becoming a captain, of...

    The "Lost Years"

    That happened in the 2280s between TMP and TWOK. I think you meant to say that they ditched the turtleneck in the Lost Era. Fashion trends! In TMP, they wore communicators on their wrist. I guess Starfleet lost the Apple Watch contract shortly after...

    Would remaking TOS episodes make you upset?

    Late to this discussion so I'm not sure if this has been said: remake TOS episodes with the eventual new cast? Probably not. Follow up on them (a la "Among the Lotus Eaters") -- absolutely! Also, fill in the post TOS S3 years. I'd be up for that too. Maybe a glimpse of the future where the five...
