    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    Let’s give that whole tangent a rest, shall we? I personally agree with those saying that this certainly was not what’s commonly known as a backdoor pilot. But we don’t need to go in circles about it and I don’t want people accusing each other of being trolls.

    How can there not be a date yet?

    Oh, sweet! Nice to have a date, finally. It’ll be an early birthday gift, too, as it’s my birthday the day after. I don’t love the new poster, though. The perspective on M’Benga’s legs is really weird. And the planet surface looks vaguely AI generated. Mind you, I don’t think it necessarily is...

    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    “Insult someone‘s intelligence” is a common enough idiom, and people who use it are generally not saying they are literally insulted/offended, just that they feel treated as though they are stupid. Or, in the context of a piece of media, that it doesn‘t feel intelligent enough. So let‘s not...

    Learned something new about Captain's Holiday

    For what it’s worth, Trek minutia specialist extraordinaire and Star Trek: Picard Research Assistant Jörg Hillebrand (aka @gaghyogi49) agrees that it’s not Michael Dorn … Isn’t it annoying when people don’t just accept every random claim and do crazy stuff like … gasp … ask for a source? No...

    What is your favorite female character from Voyager?

    I would have to say that I love all four of the female main characters on Voyager: Kes’ nine-year Ocampan lifespan was ridiculous, but I think they managed to make the character interesting despite that. I loved her wide-eyedness, her eagerness to learn and experience life and the way she was...

    Can’t say that looks like Michael Dorn to me …

    Best of Both Worlds isn't Picard's story

    Can you see how the Borg might see it that way, though?

    Best of Both Worlds isn't Picard's story

    Huh? I always thought it was clearly referencing the combination of Picard’s human individuality and the Borg’s collective hive mind, the world of organic flesh and blood and the world of technology and machines. Of course the title comes with irony, as it’s only “the best” from the perspective...

    Best of Both Worlds isn't Picard's story

    Yes, this has been evident to me for a long time, but I admit that I probably didn’t catch that when I first saw the show as a kid. There’s this anecdote about Michael Piller writing “The Best of Both Worlds” and finding himself in a similar situation as Riker does in the episode: Should he...

    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    ^ I think I’ve watched both seasons of Strange New Worlds three times now and pop in the occasional episode of Lower Decks. But otherwise I agree, I can’t see myself wanting to rewatch either Discovery or Picard anytime soon.

    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    I’m in the middle of a Voyager rewatch (end of season five right now), so the memory of almost all of those episodes is pretty fresh in my mind. There’s some that I would definitely put above Section 31 just in terms of pure entertainment value: “Threshold” is a lot of fun, for example; and on...

    You know this shit doesn’t fly around here. Consider this a friendly warning: Use this kind of insulting language again and it will be a formal warning.

    Sarek: Spock married?

    Actually I see no reason why Sarek shouldn’t have had another son with Perrin, whose marriage Picard could have referred to. But what I like even more is the possibility of Spock and Chapel getting married late in her life at a point in time where a very young Picard could have attended. I...

    Firebird's Sketch of the Week Series

    Actually, blame Spongebob, I guess. :lol: I adore that drawing of Spock, @Firebird!

    Spoilers Lower Decks General Discussion Thread

    True. Although, considering that this was originally going to be released in July, it seems like they might slowly edge closer to this also being coming out a year late. I guess in the grand scheme of things I don't mind it so much that it’s coming out later. The worst that could happen is...

    If the Ferengi in TNG maintained the idea of being the main antagonists

    I gotta say, considering how often I’ve seen it mentioned that Ferengi are uncomfortably close to antisemitic stereotypes (quoting Wikipedia: “Various critics have argued that the depiction of the Ferengi and their culture mirrors anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jews, namely the love of profit and...

    Season 3 First Look

    Why do they use a season two cast photo for the announcement, though? Bit weird. :confused:

    Spoilers Lower Decks General Discussion Thread

    Aaaand the artbook’s been pushed back yet again, this time to January (!) of next year. At least that’s what a mail from Amazon I got today claimed. How incredibly frustrating. For people more experienced than me with how these things work, should we worry about this somehow being cancelled down...

    Under the Cloak of War. M'Benga was a bit overdramatic

    Yeah, and completely unrealistic, too. I mean, when have we ever seen people in real life being affected by the devastating experience of war, like in some sort of post-traumatic stress … problem? It’s just not known to happen. Really, Chapel and M’Benga should have just shook hands with the...

    Contest: VOTE March 2025 Art Challenge -- Today Is A Good Day to Die-o-rama -- Please Vote!

    Honestly, it's totally fine. I had a lot of fun creating it, and that, for me, is the main thing why I even participate in these in the first place. :) Congratulations, @korblborp, for the well-deserved win!
