I poked around a while and couldn’t find anything, I see memes from y’all all the time and the progressive nature of Star Trek has got me. I wanna watch it....
TNG had some movies (bald guy on the poster) and they were written by people who didn’t like the show for people who didn’t watch the show. You have to turn your brain off, but they’re well-directed.
LOL I’m stealing this to use as my IRL description of those films. I wish it wasn’t true, but it is.
Yeah, it translates them so closely that phasers act like depth charges and there’s one part where both crews are trying to be quiet for some reason. It’s a a brilliant episode, but that part was really jarring on my last rewatch with a friend.
My oldest niece is 9. Last year I said something about Star Trek and she said, “Star Trek is awful.” I really need to ask what trek she’s seen and why she thinks it’s awful. She doesn’t seem to be a sci-fi fan, but that’s the only comment I’ve ever heard about Star Trek from someone her age. I’m very curious now.
This seems more apparent with Star Wars. As a child of the 80s I always preferred the original trilogy, but kids who grew up ~10 years after me seem to prefer the prequels. Do even younger kids prefer the new trilogy that most of us seem to dislike? I need to ask some of them.
Anyway, Prodigy is pretty great. I’m disappointed more people didn’t give it a chance to start with. I’ll readily admit I’m not a fan of Discovery and Picard, but I watched them all the way through, hoping for improvement, and at least have a good idea why I don’t like them. I think it’s worth trying anything that tries to be Star Trek.
CBS killed it, but some (all?) of them are working with OTOY and the Roddenberry Archive now. They had a site up a few months ago where you could walk around the bridge of nearly every iteration of every Enterprise. There were about 30 of them, including speculative designs for some early concepts for the Enterprise.
They haven’t said anything about making a full-scale Ent-D yet, but several of their videos on YouTube show glimpses of a full-scale 1701 refit.
LoglineAn accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike....
Yeah, the part that puzzled Geordi was the transporter was able to hold a pattern for nearly 80 years. SNW shows M’Benga had to pull his daughter out periodically to keep her pattern from degrading.
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.
Musicals aren’t my favourite thing, but sometimes they’re awesome. If any Trek can pull off musical it’s SNW.
I hope it gives everyone something to do. Most of the time Star Trek is best when it’s an ensemble show. This is one of the reasons episodes like Cause and Effect are my favourites: everyone works to solve a problem. That’s the future, or at least the work environment I want.

I agree about reference to our time, but the Lorca’s Musk line works because he’s from the mirror universe. I’m not sure that’s what the writers intended, but I’ll take it.
I have a few, my fav is Jessie Gender, who gives insightful reviews but doesnt shy away from criticism of Trek. I also like how she looks at things from a gender critical angle, which is something few peoppe think about. Sean Ferrick is another cool one, as are the guys from Trekyards who are more focussed on tech and ships. Who...
Alright, where do I begin?
