'Star Trek' Franchise Reboot: Simon Kinberg Eyed for Paramount Movie

So now this just sounds like a Trek prequel, not specifically a Kelvin prequel.

Or they're just throwing the "Kelvin had a specific point of divergence" concept out.

"It is said to involve the creation of the Starfleet and humankind’s first contact with alien life."

If that's really what it is, for all I care just establish that Kelvin is an entire alternative universe and not an alternate timeline instead of annoying me by seeing how they frak around with the canon Star Trek: Enterprise already established.

"Toad" is not a real man. He looks much more extraterrestrial than many of the species on Star Trek.

"Star Trek: Scotty played by Scottish actor for first time"

Nice interview, very very light spoiler stuff if you're trying to go into next season stone cold unknowing.

Yo @startrek, tell me something?

Do exist in the universe? Does any whatsoever exist in the Star Trek universe?

Because, if not, then it means there are no Tucker Carlsons and no Jon Stewarts, and no John Olivers in that universe. Probably because nothing needs internal investigations in that society as a whole!

And that frankly blows my mind... 🤯

well, certainly did have some good episodes, too - but I think any serious lover still have its own favorites & unpreferred …

Not just humor, but a particularly cynical humor. And yes, I think you have a point: To laugh, you need to be able to laugh at hubris and incompetence.

I turn to because I have encountered these attributes all too often in a real life that much more resembles the hell that Guinan described to Jean-Luc Picard when the crew traveled back in time to keep one of his ancestors on track to launch on a space exploration than not. It just isn't funny to me because I have suffered these attributes my entire life and what captures is but the palest, most faintly visible shadow of it.

I turn to because I'm desperate for something better.

Kind of a funny theme for a list, but “City on the Edge of Forever” made it.
