Star Trek to return to the small screen.

[bileduct]

lol... Mike is "extremely bored" watching Picard.

I'm gonna say it... Picard isn't Star Trek.

Nobody else mentioned this and I didn't even realise it until watching the RLM video above, but the entire TNG cast is returning for Picard season 3.

Star Trek: Picard Announces The Next Generation Cast Returning for Season Three

The crew returns for the third and final chapter of the hit series

I'm about 100 times more likely to watch Discovery season 5 than any more episodes of Picard, even with the old cast coming back. I'm not at the level Mike is at where Picard and Discovery have destroyed his interest in the entire franchise (including old shows), and I don't think I'll ever be in a position where DS9 is not watchable, but geez Star Trek is just a complete shit show these days.

Great start for Strange New Worlds. I forgot how much story you could tell in a single episode when characters aren't being overly emotive for no reason.

 

[Timbo]

It was very good. Glad to see them back to the old formula.

I wish I had one ounce of Anson Mount’s charisma.

Picard S2 finale.

Jesus Christ, what a mess.

Finally we can agree on something.

Btw, I did enjoy Lower Decks. I felt like it was aimed at pre-NuTrek fans and they did it pretty well.

Oh my god they really did this?

Star Trek: Picard's Season 2 Finale Has a Surprising Connection to The Original Series

Star Trek: Picard‘s second season has wrapped. Its final episode included a surprising tie to Star Trek: The Original Series. SPOILERS for the Star Trek: Picard Season Two finale follow. One of this season’s subplots was about Adam Soong, an ancestor of Data’s creator Noonien Soong. Adam Soong...

What in the f**k.

Really?

 

[Timbo]

I did tell you that Lower Decks is awesome.

The Khan thing didn’t really bother me, because they had established that in an earlier episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. And it’s just a throwaway reference.

The resolution to Rios’ storyline though… that made me f**king furious.

Thank god for Strange New Worlds. Single handedly saving the Trek universe for me

 

[bileduct]

I'm gonna wait for a few more eps to come out and then binge watch them. I've only seen the first one so far.

I have seen some stills and some short clips of the CGI in the show and it looks f**king phenomenal. They seem to have really pumped a lot of money into this show, it looks way better than Discovery. Some people whose opinions I trust are really enjoying it too.

I like it how they've continued the fine Star Trek tradition of 'weird disease cripples the crew' in the first few episodes.

What is pleasing to see for me is that they've managed to nail down the mix of serial and self-contained stories. The interpersonal relationships and character conflicts continue week to week, whilst the external situation the crew is confronting changes each episode.

It always sat very poorly with me how basically every episode of Next Gen, DS9 and Voyager ended with a reset button. La Forge is turned into a Manchurian Candidate by the Romulans? Picard lives 25 years in an alien probe simulation? O'Brien gets a simulated life sentence in an alien prison? Kim dies and is replaced by an alternate universe copy? Worf tries to ritually suicide his brother? Paris and Janeway turn into lizards and have kids? Bashir is replaced by a Changeling and locked in a Dominion concentration camp for months on end? Voyager gets absolutely shot to shit and is magically repaired despite being 70 years from the nearest spacedock?

Never. Mentioned. Again.

I like the fact they're acknowledging what happened to Pike when he was on the Discovery and that discussions about characters backgrounds continue week-to-week. We can still have the adventure of the day whilst the characters grow and change.

Strange New Worlds continues to impress.

I will however never not be amused by just how easy it is for intruders to overrun a Federation Starship.

Any of these as good as The Orville has become?

Strange New Words: Season 1 finale yesterday.

Best season of live-action Star Trek since DS9 ended IMO.

 

[jargan83]

Finally started Strange New Worlds a couple of nights ago and f**k me it's good.

I also have a man crush on Anson Mount as Captain Pike.

 

[jargan83]

Double post

 

[bileduct]

I'm trying to have a crack at it but I am honestly bored with watching television shows these days.

It's looks f**king gorgeous in 4K HDR on the new LG OLED tv though.

His hair deserves a spin-off of its own.

Finally catching up with The Orville S3 on SBS. And, yeah, MacFarlane is just making classic TNG episodes again. He's even introduced a Borg analogue for that show.

It's Star Trek in everything but name, and significantly more enjoyable than Disco or Picard.
