Didn't know where to put this, because there's only a "book review" sub-section, but not a "movie/TV-series review" sub-section.

So, any Trekkies here ?

Just recently I have watched "Dark Frontier" which is an episode from Voyager, in which the Borg Queen tries to lure Seven of Nine back into the collective to oversee the assimilation of a new species. The 2 episodes also detail how Seven's parents, the Hansen's (probably of Swedish origin), followed the Borg vessels and even entered them to study the Borg drones and it's organisational structure. They developed a technology that allowed them to enter a Borg cube, without being detected by the Borg drones.

But here's what I don't understand: Captain Janeway and her crew went into the Borg vessel with the same technology like the Hansen's to get Seven back to Voyager, and the Borg first ignored them because they were not detectable, but why exactly ?

The Borg assimiliated the Hansen's years ago and also their memories and technological knowledge. So why didn't they "see" Janeway and assimilated her ? Wink

     I've seen most of TNG, VOY, & ENT, but my favorite is TOS. I've seen all of the movies, except for VI.

Movie 6 is a very good one, you have to watch it at some point.

Film looks good (for action and box office), but it's hardly "my" Star Trek anymore.

Meh.  Destroying all that continuity was criminal.  I probably won't even go see this.

I hope that when Star Trek comes back into TV at some point, they ignore these movies and stick to the established universe.

Yeah, I agree that TOS, TNG, DS9 were the best (Voyager and Enterprise had some good episodes), but since they are not bringing it back on TV for a veerrrry long time and this new alternative timeline Skyfall-ish looking movie is all we got, it's probably better to watch this instead of nothing at all ...

If you like TNG, you will love DS9 - because Sisko vs. Dukat is virtually Star Trek's version to the Obama vs. Romney election.

Q Who was among the creepiest episodes with the introduction of the Borg (and probably the best episode I've seen as of yet).

Yep, I assume you have never seen the movie "First Contact" yet then ?

Wesley is sometimes naive though, for example in that episode about that virtual-reality game which Riker brings back from Risa and Wesley says: "Why would anyone take drugs ? I don't understand this."

How can you not like the Ferengi ?

They are one of the main ingredients that make the Star Trek soup taste good Wink

Even though they are a bunch of weird capitalist cowards, I like their eccentric behaviour and Quarks humour. Something like a mix of Donald Trump and the Taliban (just without the Burka, they like their women naked - as we know).

I'm really looking forward to the new CBS series in 2017 (Star Trek: Discovery).

Hopefully this series is more like the original series or TNG, rather than the latest movie.

The "all action, no thoughtful stories" really annoyed me in the last movies.

But based on the early looks, it will likely end up more like the recent movies ... Sad

There's a chance that this might be the new Klingons:



Could also be another (new) race though ...

Jason Isaacs (known for Lucius Malfoy in "Harry Potter") will play the Captain of the Discovery.

Discovery explores a previously mentioned event from the history of Star Trek while following the crew of the USS Discovery.

It might be the Sheliak and the Grizzellas:

I'm a big fan of the Sheliak.

I actually thought it would be far worse. I don't like the design of the "new" or old Klingons, but otherwise it looks OK.

SMG hits back against the racists who think "Star Trek Discovery" is not white enough:

BTW, the release date is September 24.

Just 3 weeks left.

What actually is the previously-mentioned event?

EDIT: Based on the idea that this is going to be a Klingon-driven plot, I hope the event is the Great Tribble Hunt.

The series might actually be about (or start with) the following incident:

Don't forget.

It's on CBS.

And yes, there are Tribbles. I have seen them in a new behind-the-scenes clip.

It doesn't look as bad as I thought, but they need to get rid of that occasional lens-flare.
