    I've been seeing a lot of criticism of how Picard is taking so long getting the new band together, but my impression is that this season's storyline is as much about the journey as the destination. It's sort of an extended origin story for this chapter in Picard's life.

    I don't have an issue with this. I just think that the way the story is set up, CBS should have released the entire season at once. I think waiting a week between episodes kills what little momentum the story has.

    I generally classify it as:
    Old Trek = 1966-2005
    New Trek = 2009-Present

    "NuTrek", to me, specifically means the Kelvin Timeline. I think of it as a sub-set of New Trek.
    Just like "Classic Trek", to me, specifically means TOS. I think of it as a sub-set of Old Trek.

    For those who say PIC is taking too long to get off the ground from a spacefaring standpoint: remember that one idea for the concept of ENT was to spend the first season on Earth as Enterprise NX-01 was being constructed and the crew wouldn't have actually gotten into deep space until the second season. It would have been an Earthbound Trek series for at least one season and that could have proven far, far more controversial and divisive than any other creative choices that Berman and Braga made.

    It works for our purposes. The forum would be a bloody nightmare if they dropped all the episodes at once.

    I think it's fair to draw a differentiation between TOS and the TOS movies and the Berman era, myself, as much as that era should be differentiated from the Kelvin and current series.

    Well, throughout the Berman era we generally had to wait a full 2 seasons before each series would get off the ground, if it ever did.

    Shh, don't talk about ENT that way in front of cooleddie74. He gets....angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

    I agree. TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT are a separate thing from TOS TV/Movies.

    Even though TNG and two of the TOS movies overlapped they were run by different people and as such should be placed in different categories.

    I'd call the Berman Era "Middle Trek" but then I'd have to keep explaining what I mean. It's not worth it. So I'll call it "Old Trek" or the "Berman Era". If I'm in a mood where I want to take a dig at it, then I'll just call it "Berman Trek".

    Better than Luke but I wouldn't say "right", but I suppose that's all subjective.

    One could argue that CBS Trek began in 2006 with TOS-R.
