The Official Star Trek Thread

The 2009 film was the 9th best* of the 11 movies, and an unnecessary slap in the face to the long-time fans.  It could have been just as good without destroying all the continuity.

*- It was still decent nonetheless.

9th best? So what were the only two that you thought were worse?

The Motion Picture (absolutely awful) and Insurrection.  I might actually put XI in a 3-way tie for 7th with Nemesis and Generations, come to think of it.

[7,052,770]

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.

[7,052,770]

Oh, I think I unmistakably saw Elizabeth Dehner, so I think we can confirm that the villain is Gary Mitchell.  (Or was that already confirmed?)

[7,052,770]

I highly doubt this woman is anyone other than Elizabeth Dehner:




If I'm wrong, I won't admit it.  I'll just rant about how much I don't like the movie.

[7,052,770]

If you liked seasons 1-2 of TNG, you'll love seasons 3-6. And you'll love DS9 too.

[7,052,770]

Was there any other TV that was nearly as pro-gay as "The Outcast" in the late 1980s? I'm assuming no.

[7,052,770]

DS9 is kinda like TNG in that the first 2 seasons aren't as good as seasons 3-6, but I can assure you that's it's almost universally considered to be a far better show than Voyager.

[7,052,770]

Season 3 does have two of the worst episodes of the series -- Meridian and Distant Voices, which were both dumb and boring, so they brings down the average.

I actually liked "Sacrifice of Angels" a lot and never really considered it a deus ex machina. The Prophets tell Sisko they will exact a penance in exchange for their help, and that plot comes up again later in the show.

[7,052,770]

Ferengi were awful in TNG, but good in DS9.

Well, the DS9 episodes devoted to the Ferengi were mostly pretty bad too, but they were great as side characters.

[7,052,770]

Extremely. Especially since it's set in the prime universe rather than the Abramsverse

[7,052,770]

Is he Garth of Izar?

[7,052,770]

Even better reason to be excited about it.

[7,052,770]

It's going to be about 15 minutes late starting due to football running over.

[7,052,770]

Quick question, is this show in the Abrams timeline?

No, thankfully. Prime timeline.

[7,052,770]

I'm relieved to say it was good. Haven't watched part 2 online yet, but I will soon.

[7,052,770]

That third episode was a definite improvement over the first two, although I'm starting to get the feeling that they're trying to turn this into Star Trek: Battlestar Galactica.

Not sure if the ship's captain's "moral ambiguity" is a bit of a red hering or if they try to set him up as the Big Bad in the end. He could go both ways. I enjoy Jason Isaacs' acting though... he's a pretty dark character, but in some way also wickedly funny.

I'm holding out hope that he turns out to be Garth of Izar.

[7,052,770]

Probably will be entertaining at least

[7,052,770]

With 29 seasons of Star Trek now out there (or 31 if you count TAS), I think season 1 of Discovery probably ranks around #10 or so, behind early TOS, middle TNG, and late DS9.

[7,052,770]

Looking forward to it, but looking forward even more to the series with Patrick Stewart.

[7,052,770]

I have extremely high hopes and expectations.

[7,052,770]

I've enjoyed it so far. I actually would prefer a lot more Spock. Like if season 3 were just on Pike's Enterprise, that would be cool.

[7,052,770]

Good episode tonight. Really "felt" like Star Trek.

[7,052,770]

I was kinda "meh" on tonight's episode, but holy sh**t that scene with Pike's vision of the future.

I would love to see a spinoff with Pike commanding the Enterprise (along with Spock, Number One, and maybe other characters from The Cage).

[7,052,770]

For Picard to leave Starfleet, something absolutely horrific must have happened in the aftermath of the supernova. Perhaps the Federation refuses any refugees at all and the Romulans end up becoming the new Maquis? That would be incredibly poetic and I could imagine that breaking someone like Picard.

Sounds like they may be going for a refugees allegory.
