    Spoilers How do you want Picard season 3 to end?

    Nah. Not to me. But each to their own.

    Spoilers How do you want Picard season 3 to end?

    I'd like it to end with the confirmation that this is not the prime universe and these are not the same characters from TNG.

    If you love the Enterprise…

    Thank you! I forget where I found it (I claim no authorship, with apologies and grateful appropriation to its original creator), but IIRC the original also shows Kirk on the other side of the cockpit! Nowadays, when you've got Star Destroyers and whatever looking like they're three miles long...

    News The ongoing next Star Trek movie thread

    I thought so too. She brought a lot to Beyond. It'd be nice to see her back.

    List Only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

    VOY: The Cloud VOY: The 37s STVI: The Undiscovered Country (which looks beautiful in remastered UHD).

    If you love the Enterprise…

    I like that. That's a nice "in-universe" explanation. As the first ship of her class, the Constitution would've inevitably had some teething problems that would've led to modifications and updates in her sister ships, built a little later.

    News The ongoing next Star Trek movie thread

    Sofia Boutella would like to return as Jaylah. If ST-K IV happens, I 'd like to see this. Her character was a lot of fun and it'd be a laugh to see how Jaylah got on at Starfleet Academy. Now that (very sadly, and without recasting) Chekov isn't around, there's room in the ensemble. New...

    If you love the Enterprise…

    Ah, thanks. Memory's not so terrible then. Am I misremembering that they also included other ships from TMP such as the Vulcan long-range shuttle? As a package, and they way they folded out, those blueprints were lovely things, yes. I can imagine they fired up the creativity of a great many...

    If you love the Enterprise…

    I had those - the Franz Joseph ones that came in a little brown and transparent plastic pouch? I loved them, pored over them, and it was fascinating to see all the areas that had gone unseen on TV. They really gave you a sense of how huge the Enterprise was. I'm sure some of those ideas for...

    What is your favourite moment from a Star Trek episode or movie you consider bad or mediocre?

    Yeah. The weird thing is, whatever works or doesn't work for me, it has a helluva lot of rewatch value overall. I think it's probably the patchiest of all the Trek movies, but I've rewatched it many times and got more out of it than, say, Insurrection.

    Tiny Trek Adventures (ongoing comic)

    Lovely stuff. Really happy to find your work here too, Ashley.

    Building Star Trek- The Smithsonian Channel

    If you're expecting something like a box set extra or one of the fanmade crowdfunded docus, then I understand how it could feel disappointing. It feels like a documentary made for the curious non-diehard, so it's perhaps lacking in the detail some of us deep fans would expect, but I don't think...

    What is your favourite moment from a Star Trek episode or movie you consider bad or mediocre?

    I don't think Shatner knows the difference between comedy and drama, so what we get from him is tragedy.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I think that's definitely the way to come at it. I have to remind myself sometimes of the "unreliable narrator." I found, in LD's case, difficulty in making that mental switch, and a lot of the humor felt reliant on past Trek lore rather than character or situation-based. Aside from that mental...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Yes, I know. It's my perception and how my mind tends to file stuff. I'm differently brained.

    What is your favourite moment from a Star Trek episode or movie you consider bad or mediocre?

    Funnily enough, I just watched STV: TFF last night, on spangly remastered UHD - from which the look of the movie really benefits - it's fresh in my mind. I first saw it in Boston in 1989 in a really lousy theatre, that had a rip in its screen and terrible sound, so that stays with me. It looks...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Sorry, I thought I was posting on the "Controversial Opinions" thread. But srlsy, I did try. I watched all of S1 and a few eps of S2 before I fully realized it wasn't for me. I love Trek comedies, but LD seemed to pick at the rules of the fictional universe, which sorta ruined the...
