    Spoilers Picard Prequel "Children of Mars"

    If I had to guess, it's that not everyone has read or wants to read the comics. Which creates a disparity in available information. It's hard to have a discussion that way.

    Spoilers Picard Prequel "Children of Mars"

    I care about them too. I really like Stamets, Tilly, Saru, Culver and Burnham. I get that not everyone does but whew. Some people really can't forgive a thing that's not tailored to their exact taste I guess.

    Spoilers Picard Prequel "Children of Mars"

    Not to mention that even if the Federation has thousands of ships, they're probably busy doing stuff. Shipping, protection, patrol, research, etc. You don't just grind your economy to a halt because you need a bunch of them. If there's time to prepare, it's better to fit a fleet of ships for...

    Spoilers Picard Prequel "Children of Mars"

    I was under the impression that it never got approved. If it had, why send Spock to do it? Why send just one ship? Trek 2009 gave me the distinct impression that Spock, though aided and abetted, did not get the Red Matter through legal means.

    Spoilers Picard Prequel "Children of Mars"

    I don't really see why the supernova couldn't move at STL. It's a bit suspect that the star exploded with no warning, but that can also be explained by a couple lines of dialogue. Weapon experiments conducted by the RSE or whatever, or maybe a quantum filament crossing paths with the star...

    Unpopular Trek opinions game

    There definitely were, and have been since the new Klingons debuted in TMP. But the ENT episodes (and to a lesser extent Bashir's comments) inflated the importance of the changes and gave credence to a minority of vocal fans. I can't swing a dead tribble in most fan spaces now without hitting...

    2399 Starfleet commbadge close-up

    Perhaps it is a trick of the light and the combadge actually is gold / silver. But something that's been nagging at me since the discussion about the apparent Rear Admiral Lower Half pip is: if this is an admiral we're seeing, what's the significance of her division color? How often do we see...

    Unpopular Trek opinions game

    We'll have to agree to disagree then, I thought the use of TOS assets in those episodes looked absolutely horrid and felt completely off.

    Unpopular Trek opinions game

    I definitely agree, especially on the points of TOS being mostly non-canon. It boggles my mind that the fandom insists that the tech and aesthetic of the 2260s *had* to look that specific way. And given Gene's attitudes about retcons, it's wild that we still argue about makeup changes. DSC's...

    Poll What do you think of the Starfleet uniforms in Star Trek: Picard?

    I'm pretty sure Lower Decks is the odd-man out in terms of its uniform design. It borrows heavily from a previous animated project that never got off the ground. If one ignores Lower Decks, there's a pretty clear progression away from the Dominion War uniforms to the Picard uniforms, with...

    Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

    Maybe, I'm new here lol. I would like to say that I'm impressed with how cool headed people have been in this thread. I've seen way bigger meltdowns, more heated arguments, and just meanness come out in the last couple days in other fan communities.

    Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

    I think people are blowing things way out of proportion. The Short Treks don't have the same budget that the actual shows do, and I'm just really happy to have new Trek to absorb. This being said by someone who will happily obsess over starship design, pour over blueprints, and talk about the...

    2399 Starfleet commbadge close-up

    From the promo photo linked earlier, it looks like that's the color of the actual combadge.

    Poll What do you think of the Starfleet uniforms in Star Trek: Picard?

    Uh, anyways. I like the new uniforms. I like the return to bright colors, the Dominion War version was always too dark and brooding for my taste. I like the new combadge, it's a fun nod towards All Good Things. And I actually like the loose collar, it looks way more comfortable than the...

    Welcome Fellow Trekkies! The GTD Get to Know You thread

    Hi everyone, I'm Oni. Someone on Reddit recommended this forum as a more positive Trek community, I'm hoping to make it my new home. Love DSC, getting hyped for Picard, and I'm looking for folks to geek out with. Other interests include writing, tabletop rpgs, and music.
