As a few others have said, I'm also interested in Kim and Lippoldt's version. My biggest issue is the attempt at a moral quandary without delivering. I like the idea of Georgiou struggling with her past deeds, but this story's villain wasn't quite it. He was the standard "I was one of your...

If a show from 2024 contradicts a show from 1966, how does it really effect either show? In the context of the current show, the specific details of the 1966 show doesn't really matter. And when watching the 1966 show, the 2024 show doesn't come into play. I wish people could just enjoy each...

Thanks for mentioning it. I hadn't noticed and went back and watched it again. That was fun! I don't think this show has ever implied that Michael was trying to strictly adhere to the emotionless Vulcan ideal. She's grown as a person over the course of the show. If anything, her Vulcan...

I'm pretty sure the crew was incredulous at the idea of Airiam "giving up" instead of "being strong" and finding another way to save herself. They were upset to learn she would die and thought Airiam would have fought the infection. And they thought that they would not have let Airiam sacrifice...

I think the limitations with this form of time travel exist only within the writer's imagination. It's been years, but I recall the 90s cartoon Gargoyles using this mechanic quite successfully.

This is, I think, where we are supposed to step in and do the real work of fixing the world, instead of getting lost in the fantasy worlds. I'm very guilty of burying my head in the sand along with everyone else, but TV can only do so much. I believe TV is a huge part of the problem. We've been...

I've always sensed a anti-utoptian bias on these boards, ha ha. I guess what really struck a chord with me, back in the 80s when I started watching TNG, was this imagined future where humanity was finally able to acknowledge some pretty basic flaws and face them head-on. The willingness to...

I'm a fan of the utopian Federation. (I don't like Section 31, for example.) But, I also like that the Federation is still flawed. Humanity has evolved and become better, but's it's not perfect. It's important to show these flaws in order for us to reflect on our own flaws. The Federation is a...

That feels good from our perspective, where we want to make sense of things and we're familiar with the Gregorian calendar. But incomprehensible stardates make more sense from an in-universe perspective. Seems silly to still be using a dating system based on the birth of a religious figure, when...

I love S3 and 4 very much. I like the reaching out, making connections, and bringing the Federation back together. I like S4's diplomacy vs "let's go blow 'em up!" struggle. The situations that the ship and crew found themselves in were dire, but it was a great foundation for building some...

Got any lotto numbers for us, Nostradamus? :)

Going through some old stuff and found these TV Guides that I've been holding on to.

I think some of the complaints about the 32nd century not being advanced enough can be applied to the TOS and TNG era as well. I think all of the Trek shows are rather reserved in terms of social development. It would be interesting to see some fiction that explores some hypotheticals of what...

This is a good discussion to point to when I need to express my feelings on Continuity™. Seems some folks would rather nail down all Trek to 1960's social standards because that's what was displayed in TOS. If women aren't a minority and don't have crushes on men, if they show any amount of...

The animation company in that article, Mainframe, produced some pretty fun cartoons. ReBoot, Beast Wars, Scary Godmother, and other are great fun. At the time, I think a Trek show from these people could have been interesting, but there's no doubt that the CGI would look pretty dated by today's...

No, the Worf joke must be explained. All unseen events alluded to must be seen. Feed me, for I cannot go on with this hole in my soul.

This was a great comment. I feel that. I was a huge continuity hound back in the old Expanded Universe days of Star Wars. I hated the Clone Wars cartoon because it seemed hell bent on contradicting established continuity. But then I realized it was just trying to tell its own stories and that's...

Most were out, then they made four more seasons? Huh? This makes me queasy. I DO NOT want "adherence to continuity." Continuity is a prison for storytelling. The only continuity that matters to me is the continuity within a particular story, whether that be an episode, a season, or a series...

I think an Enterprise can be anything. Get wild and give it a different saucer/nacelle configuration. We don't have to be so strict and narrow. Top of the line, or worst ship in the fleet, doesn't matter. It's just a name. Having a small, less state-of-the-art Enterprise doesn't diminish the...

Controversial opinion? I like Michael Burnham. I think she's had a pretty good story arc so far. Discovery is my happy place.
