Enterprise era new trek show?
I’m not sure if this is the right community or not, but I’m curious what y’all would think if they came out with a new show set in the Enterprise era. Ent is one of my favorite shows, and I always felt like we got screwed out of some really compelling TV when they ended they stopped making Trek after ENT ended. That era of...
Please bear with me while I geek out about Edith Keeler in "The City on the Edge of Forever" for a moment.
It almost feels unnecessary to rave about “The City on the Edge of Forever” (S1E28) again, since it has been praised as one of the all-time best episodes of Star Trek for like 50+ years now, but I just rewatched it and want to specifically talk about how much I love the character Edith Keeler....
Canon Connections: Lower Decks 4x08 - Caves
• The episode title, “Caves” is a call back to the frequency in which caves or cave like structures are featured prominently in episodes of “Star Trek”, going all the way back to the original pilot, “The Cage”. Caves have been a significant part of the following episodes:...
First time I saw this episode, I thought that headgear was part of their face
My 6-year-old brain thought that it was like a tumor or something
Are you ready for the upcoming 2026 2nd American Civil War?
I wish that song was longer
spoilerBasically the title. That Klingon Pop (K-Pop?) was so unexpected and funny. Such a good comedic timing. But that bit was too short compared to other songs in this episode. I am a little disappointed.
Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 4x05: “Empathological Fallacies” (SPOILERS)
The title is a play on the term “pathological fallacy”, where traits seen in one person or group are extrapolated to be part of the entire population that person belongs to....
Do you agree with this assessment of picard and sisko
I saw make this assessment of picard and sisko as both characters and as captains. That if you want to prevent a war you send picard but if you want to win one you send sisko.
Doctor T’Ana is a bad match for Shaxs
Clearly there is some chemistry between the characters, but it often appears that Shaxs is putting up with a lot that he is not interested in, or is even finds unpleasant....

Was WW3 the same as the Eugenics wars or were those 2 separate ones? Also, does anyone have the chronology of all wars that have happened in Star Trek?
Did anybody watch TOS for the first time AFTER Strange New Worlds?
I’ve been watching the Next Generation for a while but on my dad’s recommendation I started SNW and I love it. I’m getting through it really quickly and thought about jumping straight to TOS after....
Kirk sticking around?
It’s been fun seeing so much of Kirk this season, but does that mean he’s now a regular? I don’t see how he could take a position on the Enterprise for years yet, so would that imply he just keeps coincidentally visiting all the time? Starts to strain plausibility after a while.
Next week is the musical episode. Are you looking forward to it?
I’m very much looking forward to the musical episode. When Buffy did a musical it was a nice change of pace and a lot of fun. I’m hoping for much the same from SNW’s musical.

Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 4x09: “The Inner Fight” (SPOILERS)
The title is a play on the TNG episode “The Inner Light”, where Picard is hit by a beam from a Kataan probe that makes him live out a lifetime of memories in the space of less than an hour. A similar probe last appeared in LD: “In the Cradle of Vexilon”....
If you could have either a holodeck or a replicator, which one would you pick?
Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse?
I asked this question sometime ago on The Orville’s subreddit, and surprisingly got mixed responses. I assume most here however, are going to prefer Star Trek, specifically TNG that its aping from. For the record I do prefer TNG as well, but rewatching The Orville, after you get past its kinda sucky first season, I really...

Thoughts on fixing production mistakes in remasters?
Lucas made such a mess of the original Star Wars movies with his changes over the years that I’m sure a lot of people are probably sour in general on the idea of unnecessarily changing anything in a remaster....
