Oh, this definitely includes Renegades 👌
Oh, this definitely includes Renegades 👌
Yes, we see TPol reading the new rediscovered teachings of Surak, demonstrating the spread in new ideas
We also see the Vulcan ambassador standup for being a “deviant” and ultimately prevail, demonstrating a shift in attitudes.
The Vulcan arc was one of the most strangely satisfying because:
If you do that you miss much of the best Trek villains:
Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat
They are part of reason folks are advising you to hang in there.
But ultimately just enjoy it and skip any episode that is boring you; if you make it halfway you’ll probably want to watch the few relevant ones you skipped.
p.s. Buckle up 🖖
Enterprise all the way.
It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.
Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.
Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.
Highlights include:
Low points include:
Came here to mention La Sirena from Picard.
Hologram bridge crew with fully hologram passenger quarters, the introverts starship par excellence 👌
Quick someone animate it for the masses, for the children, for me!
It’s a matter of opinion of course, but to me Picard 1/2 suffers the same malady as S31: “all we need is a big star to sell our franchise”
Season 3 felt to me like the owners of the franchise desperately trying to salvage the final season from Patrick Stewart’s meddling.
As for Kirk’s stories you’re right he’s done if not already overdone, at least as a main character. Who knows how he may work as a supporting character 🤷♀️
We know Riker plays for keeps; Quark owes him platinum and tried to foist gift cards on him for payment.
We know the TNG poker games would also raise the stakes; Crusher challenges Riker, LaForge, and Worf to bet shaving their beards that one time.
We know that gambling lingo is still commonplace, even though Mariner doesnt know other slang from our era (eg what a pinup poster is)
I want to say that gambling never left and it makes me realize we’re sorely missing a proper heist episode. With Quark 👌
Edit: I am mistaken, I forgot about Moogie
If Kirk is going to come back, it has to mean something. It has to be the show. But I was so impressed by this writer, so I said let’s talk after I’m done in Vancouver.
He had me in the first half, but thankfully this doesn’t sound like another vanity project ala Picard S1/S2 🤞
That was an interesting watch. Glad someone is making shorts they think are fun to make, it’s refreshing.
I have no idea, but I hope so haha
Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.
The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.
My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I’ve seen ENT…I don’t want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!
5 seasons and a movie, make it so!
Ahh, thanks for the clarification
Wow, feels so spiteful. It’s them not you.
To be charitable to the other side, perhaps this mod is so burned out on “just asking questions” that a sincere question has become hard to recognize 🤷♀️
…all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.
Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.
Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last 🙏
I have a half-baked thought of my own.
That as the world slides into the maws of oligarchy, we need to see the Star Trek series that zooms in on the transition away from money.
They should face the music of class war with that Trek panache that made them great👌
There is this thing we need to find that thing. An entire season about finding that thing.
Ah yes, the season-sized adventure that feels like a bunch of yak-shaving fetch-quests in an rpg.
we must find the progenitor macguffin, but first we must find the treasure map, but first…
If we look for it we probably see this pattern is common across many trek episodes, but across a season they managed to do it in such a way that feels very obvious and hard to miss.
Give them Andor instead of Ahsoka; they need to make more content that speaks to the universal human condition and less about the cool worlds and characters they’ve got. The people want Squid Game and Severance, not another cinematic universe.
Sign me up for more Billups!
Gimme those guest stars from ntsf:SD:SUV:: 🤞
