it's crazy how both him and Shatner refuse to significantly age

Shatner is seemingly going to look like a fatter version of himself from Star Trek V at his funeral

Shatner could almost pass for being in 50s, despite being 87!

So I finished TNG for the first time, what an awesome ride.

Only skipped one or two episodes with Diana and her mother, I cant stand her mother ( just like anyone else on the Enterprise haha )

Well I actually skipped that only episode of s7 because I find Beverly to be a bit of a boring character..

but if she's fucking with a ghost I might actually watch that episode?  :doge

Watch TOS movies now and then the TNG movies so you can watch First Contact. Then watch DS9.

Well I haven't watched the classic TOS..they were always too cheesy for my taste. Like I thought TNG S1 was kinda rough, how am I gonna watch something from 1960's something?

The movies might be worth it though, I havent seen the old TOS movies and I have heard decent things about them.

TNG s1 is not on the same footing as TOS. TNG s1 feels dated. TOS doesn’t. You are only making the assumption that you wouldn’t like TOS but you haven’t actually seen it. Watch The Menagerie or The Man Trap and see how you like it so you can have an informed opinion. :)

But I’m talking about the films. TOS films > TNG.

Star Trek VI is the best Trek movie imo.

TOS is pretty cornball as a whole but the famous/standout episodes are a step above anything else of the time

6 and 2 are such amazing movies. i also love first contact but it's not on that level

TOS also has some great character dynamics and if you can enjoy The Twilight Zone I see zero reason you shouldn’t be able to enjoy TOS. Same shit except in space.

II, IV, and VI are :hyper

I used to be a TNG hardliner but I've come to appreciate TOS a lot over the years, mostly thanks to my dad since it's what he grew up with...

We both agree s3 is pretty doodoo tho. I haven't seen TAS yet but he's a big fan, considering he's not much for cartoons either.

Speaking with THR, Alex Kurtzman confirmed that the series will actually be set after the events of the 2009 Star Trek film (in the Prime Timeline, of course, rather than the Kelvin alt-reality), which revealed that the Romulan Empire had been torn apart by the destruction of Romulus, consumed by a star going supernova.

According to Kurtzman, the event will have a huge impact on Picard’s life and state of mind:

Picard’s life was radically altered by the dissolution of the Romulan Empire.

A prequel comic to the 2009 movie confirmed Picard was currently ambassador to Vulcan at the time and had long been a part of attempts to unify the Vulcan and Romulan peoples alongside Spock


Despite Kurtzman's name being a perpetual boner-killer related to anything Trek, this is actually the first bit of Star Trek news in 10 years to make me a tiny, tiny bit excited.

The Prime timeline is moving forward!

TAS is fun, I grew up watching it on Nickelodeon. It was able to do a lot of things they'd never be able to afford on a live action budget back then.

Making a section 31 spinoff is bullshit. The coolest thing about Section 31 was the mystery behind it all. Now to take that away with a spin off?

We all know most of the shit section 31 does is very anti-trek, anti-prime directive. So it will be another show with a lot of explosions and backstabbing.

I don't think Section 31 is anti-Trek, but it's definitely a difficult toy to play with. The Section 31 books also worked only for a similar reason, it was about the agents meeting regular Trek people plus the mission, as soon as they started to explain how it operates or anything like that it would get stupid. Stories set within the Obsidian Order and Tal Shiar work way better for that reason. Both are open secrets, but their exact level of power and how much of the governments they control waxes and wanes and remains hard to tell. DS9 even tried to imply that neither government knew or at least wanted to admit knowing about the Order/Shiar plan to wipe out the Founders despite it being a huge ass fleet.

The episode where Dianna has to play a Tal Shiar agent is such a good one because of how it also has a fearless Romulan commander, who even she has to cower in the face of the Tal Shiar and Dianna's presence instantly creates divisions among the crew. Section 31 can't do this because Starfleet crews are going to back their captain and their ship for the most part against someone spinning such a tale that goes against everything they've been taught. In Romulan and Cardassian society one of the first things you learn is fear of the Tal Shiar and the Obsidian Order.

Alex Kurtzman you fucking wanker

Quote
'Star Trek' Head Wants Franchise to Appeal to Kids Like 'Star Wars'

Quote
Star Trek exec Alex Kurtzman recently confirmed that he hopes to deliver more kid-friendly stories within the franchise that will appeal to younger audiences in the ways Star Wars has similarly done.

"I go back to my childhood and Luke Skywalker, the farm boy who looks out at the twin suns of Tatooine and imagines his future. Trek never gave me that. Trek was always fully formed adults, already in Starfleet and people who have decided who they are. And it never was aspirational that way," Kurtzman shared with The Hollywood Reporter. "It's important to me to find a way to go back and reach younger kids in a way that Trek should and never really has."

Jerry: "Well, look at you!"

But...like Trek often already appeals to kids. There are tons of kids who have grown up on Trek. Hell, many of the people associated with the franchise say it. I feel like probably even Kurtzman has said it. And then they come back around to it when older and see the plots and characters and stuff underneath the sci-fi and action and space fights.

Kids who liked Trek were often either weirdos, kids who were smarter than the rest of us, or who watched because their parents did. Trek is fucking boring to most kids. So appeal to kids? Trek? Mmmm...no. Once you’re talking about teens you’ve made a case. But kids? Trek? Lol.

I like it. I'm about 4 eps from the end of season. It's been a bit action-y for my tastes, but I'm enjoying the character interaction. I even like the sibling stuff between Michael and Spock.
