Generations and Insurrection especially feel like episodes, though I actually like Generations kinda for that reason, as it feels like a big budget episode and makes me nostalgic. Insurrection is just lazy and therefore I didn’t like it
Yeah, I agree, the films trying to copy the Wrath of Khan to this day is a bad thing. And I don’t even think Wrath of Khan is that great to be honest. Star Trek I and IV have IMO the best Star Trek style plots in fact, which is why I appreciate and like them a lot more now, whereas as a kid I hated them both.
Search for Spock is okay as a movie, but it’s more of a fantasy magic movie than sci fi and I don’t like the plot so its kinda weak to me.
Oh I love First Contact, and it’s my favorite of all the films still. But that’s just one film out of four. Most of the TOS movies I like, whereas most of the TNG films not so much. But I don’t begrudge anyone who disagrees.
Yeah I love Star Trek 1 now, I hated it so much as a kid though. But either its just better for adults or the Directors Cut is just that much better, because I really enjoy the film.
I didn’t like Discovery or Picard right from the beginning I admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of NuTrek, but SNW, Lower Decks and Prodigy are decent shows, but nowhere near TOS and TNG era Trek IMO
So I finally watched Lower Decks, well a good chunk of it anyway, and expected it to be horrific, but I surprisingly like it now. I don’t absolutely love it, but I do like it. Especially Tendi
Working from the oral history in The Five Year Mission: The next 25 years, this is a fascinating deep dive that answers the question “How did a recycled cover of a 1998 song written for Rod Stewart, ‘Where My Heart Will Take Me’ aka ‘Faith of the Heart’ become the title music for Enterprise?”...
I found this after reading and responding to this post here about early Trek fans’ prejudicial negative reaction to TNG. One of my responses (see here) was to point out that any fans of the progressiveness of Trek ought to have been mindful of the room for improvement over TOS, with female representation being an obvious...
“I posed the question “when did Trek start consistently passing the Bechdel test”, thinking that it didn’t start happening until Voyager, which those hard-line TOS fans would never have allowed to be made (along with TNG and DS9).”
Which is why you don’t listen to the angry parts of the fanbase for your input/feedback, or else you get really bad results.
As the title says, I’m looking for some of the best Star Trek books to read. I’ve read both of The Eugenics Wars books and quite enjoyed them, so was looking for some other good ones. I don’t really care what time period they’re in, just as long as they’re Trek and pretty
Well said. I actually think Prodigy, like SNW, has much stronger first seasons than the Berman Era shows, all of which were kinda weak in their first seasons and got better as they went on.
All Good Things is my favorite Trek episode of all time, next to Yesterdays Enterprise which actually also could have been a great movie :P
Yeah Generations could have just been a decent finale for TNG with All Good Things being the big breakout film, I think that would have worked far better.
Generations is a good movie IMO, I just think it’s weaker than a lot of the OG Trek films personally.
Strange New Worlds has been my favorite Trek since Next Generation, and if the quality continues, could easily be my favorite Trek ever. But with the e.p. wishing for more episodes per season, there’s a danger of diluting the show by adding weak episodes that would have never made it in a 10 episode season....
The writers on Star Trek seem to like to make references to where they’re from. Bozeman, Montana is the site of first contact because Brannon Braga comes from there, and theres a USS New Jersey in STP because Terry Matalas is from New Jersey.
Why were the TOS movies better than the TNG movies?
(Not including the reboot trilogy as that’s a different altogether topic)...
