I think Frakes would have grown into the role as Captain and I think he could have led the series very well. It would also have been interesting for a Star Trek series to lose two original bridge crew members - and so quickly too (plus, it had already tried to change its Doctor). This might have...
I'd operate on the basis that I'd created a new timeline and I simply wouldn't be concerned about contaminating the previous timeline because that would be impossible. I'd prioritise mine and the crew's wellbeing and build a stronghold in the sector. I'd definitely be interested in attempting to...
I haven't seen this film in years but it's possible the Borg had motives in FC that were not explicitly explained in the film and I think that has to be accounted for when attempting to identify plot holes in respect of their actions. There may have been a reason why they sent one cube, or went...
This is a really interesting thread!
I turned 42 in January and I honestly love getting older. I now feel like I'm currently in the process of discovering who I actually am as a person and getting beyond the jumble of insecurity, culturally programmed ideas, and emotional immaturity that seemed...
You misrepresented a comment a poster made about a screenshot from an interview and exploited someone's tragic personal circumstances to launch a sanctimonious tirade. I can honestly say this was one of the most despicable things I've ever read on an internet forum and I am done with this site...
I thought this was an outstanding, absorbing episode and everything I wish SNW would be every week. They need to go this direction for season 3 and dispense with the comedy episodes. If that were to happen, SNW could easily become top tier TNG - DS9 calibre Trek imo. The show has the potential...
Maybe another interesting question to ask is whether season 2 SNW lacks ambition as a sci fi show. If Pike has an arc this season then that would probably be him getting to open up to people. La'an's arc is pretty similar and involves her attraction to Kirk. Spock and Chapel are still stuck in...
The Motion Picture is probably my ideal type of Star Trek but I still really like SNW. It is very much it's own entity, it has great characters played by a fantastic cast and it does adopt different genres well. I think it's fine as it is.
I think it could be argued that Pike's arc on SNW was largely played out in season 1. His future was a recurring theme throughout the season but by episode 10 he appeared to have come to a better understanding of it and accepted that he could not reasonably alter what was going to happen to him...
I really like her and the actress brings so much personality and charisma to the role. She's also one of the few characters that we don't see in TOS or the films so we don't know her fate (although, the timeline/interference stuff might become a more prominent part of the show and affect how...
I thought this was excellent. The crew travelled to a strange newish world. There was a weird sci fi concept. There was good character development for Pike. We actually see a violent rage that is clearly present in his character. When he was dealing with the Romulan in S.1. Ep.10 then a large...
History would be radically different if WW2 started a generation after it actually did. Everything would be completely different because different people would have been making decisions, the geo-political state of play would be completely different. Literally everything would be different. The...
I'm far from convinced by this notion of the timeline repairing itself. If WW2 actually started in 1959, for example, then it would obviously have been a very different conflict. The technology would be more advanced, the national leaders, the economics etc would all be different. Germany...
I really liked this episode. There is a definite silliness about SNW and sometimes it annoys me but that probably says more about me than it does about the show. Christina Chong is a tremendous actor playing a very interesting character and La'an-centric episodes tend to be personal favourites...
I was listening to the Joe Rogan podcast with the real life Paul Stamets and he gives a bit of an insight into his involvement with Star Trek and the inspiration for the Spore Drive. The podcast is from 2017 and it's incredible but the Star Trek stuff starts at around 1:57:42...
Jerry & Marge Go Large. I liked it. It had some interesting things to say about relationships and getting older and actually doing something with your life. I wouldn't tell anyone to go out their way to watch it but I did like it and Cranston and Bening were great. There are some nods to...
