General Trek Questions and Observations

You're probably right about which section of the past several decades really shows the uptick of Trek production. My fascination was the fact that the time between ENT and DIS is almost the same length as the time between TAS and TNG. And in those times, we got at least 3 movies but obviously no shows.

 

I posted about this in another thread but why would Section 31 need stockpiles of nanites aboard their starships? Leland had a pile of them on hand that got out of control..

I mean did every ship in their fleet have them or just his, and why just his?

 

Couldn't Control have just added it to ship invoices?

 

Possibly but it's a bit of a sore point for me even though. It would imply that it had some kind of ulterior motive for doing such a thing, in the novels it's a bit more evil and does more planning ahead of the humans but it shows planning in the TV show version even before the squid probe upgrades it a bit. It was bad all along.

 

I always took it as bad. Kind of like Ultron.

 

I am getting a Trek tattoo band on my forearm, what do we think? It's supposed to be DS9 from the top but people keep saying its a flower.

Totally DS9. But could be seen as a flower by a non-Trekkie.

 

Only 4 pips? Why not go admiral?

 

4 pips... or 4 isolinear rods viewed from above?

 

Or one of the death flowers in Picard that can knock out ships

 

It looks more like the Yorkshire Rose than DS9 to me…

 

*shrug*

Mate, I have tattoos which people think are other things, but if I know what they are, I don’t care. These things are personal to the wearer. If you like it, that’s enough.

FWIW, I do like the design.

 

Just joking around, it's already booked in

 

Jonathan Frakes said in an interview that he considers Discovery to be his current "home" Trek series. In other words, the one that he hasn't actually appeared in... yet.

 

Time Travel ..... I'm calling it now somehow Riker ends up in the future, or as a hologram in the future.

 

Or just a sneak cameo, like he did in "Clockstoppers". But yeah, a hologram of Riker would be way better.

Maybe it could even be Tom Riker, who escaped Cardassian custody and went on to become an admiral or something.

 

Yes.. Either idea works but I missed the cameo in clockstoppers.

I always got the feeling they used that TOS episode with the sped up aliens as the idea for that movie and I like the movie, does that make me a bad person?

Oh and lead actress was 28 in that movie playing a teen.

 

Would love to see a Short Treks, season 3. Expand the anthology series.

Spoiler

Give us one with Q circa Picard, season 2, navigating 21st century Earth sans most of his powers.

 

Spoiler

Was it explained in Picard how Q is near death?
