Television The Star Trek Thread V6.0

Not to be rude but are you actually excited about this

What about it is star trek

The ship and uniform look like Trek....

But gene Roddenberry would be spinning in his grave

Exploration by enlightened humans tackling moral issues

Now they're fucking naked and tazering each other
I'm curious to see how it is. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about a Trek comedy, but even in the trailer, it had all sorts of little hardcore trek teasers. David Mack, my favorite trek author is a consultant on this and the new Prodigy series(also wrote some great episodes of DS9) and he has said it's packed full of Trek Lore. I have a feeling that while it will have Rock and Morty esque comedy, they will actually try to tell some meaningful stories as well. We shall find out in 2 weeks.
 
Good question
Its one of the worlds great mysteries, like whatever happened to the evil space Bugs from season 1 of TNG, that were supposed to be coming back, but were then never mentioned again

I'm guessing they were originally going to fill the role of an over arching threat. I suspect though even by that episode that idea had been given up on, you get the setup earlier in the season which to me seemed to be hinting at something much more prolonged then events are largely wrapped up in a single episode just with a little open end to follow up if they wanted. The fact you have the Neutral Zone as the next episode and the season finale which both brings the Romulans back and lays the first seeds of the Borg(even if they changed a lot from earlier ideas) I think suggests they'd desided to switch to those as the shows main over arching villians.

They actually originally wrote the borg to be a insect race, which is where the hive came from. In the early planning stages with Micheal Westmore, they figured out to make a convincing menacing insect, would be too expensive to create,and quickly switched to the cyborg.

Enterprise also tried to pull off insects with Xindi Inscetoids,but the CGI was still pretty clunky looking

Lower Decks looks terrible. Mother fucker the last decade has been brutal as a lifelong Trek fan. First we had JJ Trek which was awful. Then we had Discovery which was even worse. Then Picard which was somehow even worse than that. Now Lower Decks which looks like it could somehow be even worse.

Fuck me. I need to find a buddy to help me with Klingon ritualistic suicide

Season 3 of Discovery will premiere Oct 15th, one week after lower decks concludes. There plan to always have a new trek series going is starting
 
Kurtzman out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct

Alexander Siddig has had a fan club for years called Sid City. He has recently taken it to youtube during covid. Basically twice a week, he has an open zoom video chat with a set number of fans, and he invites fellow actors and they basically do giant Q&As and meet and greets. He has also been taking fan submissions of stories or episodes, and he will get another actor to play out the story. It's pretty cool seeing such a down to earth guy, interact and have fun with his fans.

Here's a recent episode he did with Andrew Robinson, reading a fan-submitted script

The characters in that show were so awesomely developed in the later seasons. Truly a great show.
 
The 7th Rule Youtube show, hosted by Cirroc Lofton(used to co-hosted by Aron Eisenberg before he passed), has been killing it lately. They have been hosting a bunch of virtual Cons, and hosting all sorts of Star Trek people. Just watched an hour-long video with Ira Behr on the creation of the Dominion. Pretty interesting stuff.

Bashir especially was probably the most improved character during a shows run in Trek history, Riker would be the other argument I spose but I tend to view that more as an early blip in season one then a quick improvement.
