    Ah, that's good. Yeah, I figured they weren't going to shout about it because they want subscribers but I'd love to get this.

      Star Trek: Discovery Season 05 will steer the show to be more closer to classic Trek in tone and themes
      Honestly, really liked the show but since its been yanked from Netflix its dead to me. Shame.

        Will be interested to watch that version of the first movie; I wonder if it's shorter? Or longer, even. The original movie is a little bit padded out.

        Ditto. Doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned.

          I think this is a direct recreation of the Director's Cut that came out around 20 years ago, which was only made for SD at the time. If so, it runs four minutes longer, I think.

              I'm watching Picard. It is wandering all over the place. I swing wildly from thinking it's fantastic to terrible and back again in a few minutes.

                A perfect summary. I accasionally think to abandon it and then suddenly I'm back in. I like Agnes. She's had the best line so far:


                You'll find it in the folder titled, **** I stole from the Borg Queen

                  Yep, she is the most interesting character of the bunch at the moment.

                  This crew, like every other Star Trek crew, is really, really terrible at not interfering with time.

                    If you want to stay clear of spoilers don't click play but weirdly we already have a trailer for Star Trek: Picard Season 03

                      The announcement of a fourth film in the Abrams-era “Star Trek” film franchise during a Paramount+ investor day presentation earlier this year caught many by surprise, including the cast. The various actors involved like Chris Pine and Karl Urban subsequently indicated they were in talks to return but deals weren’t signed and none of them […]

                      Chris Pine says if he had things his way the films would abandon any notions of chasing Marvel style box office results and return to smaller budgeted, more focused stories that please the core audience first and foremost

                        Seems like a weird thing to make a trailer for season 3 of Picard while the 2nd is still playing out.

                          Something that amazes me: That we now live in a world where Star Trek operates on two timelines, spanning a period of over 800 years canon, with multiple shows, a film series, two animated series, one of the live action series led by a franchise star in his 80's, two Spocks, two Kirks soon, two Enterprises currently in new content etc

                          And yet nowhere, at no point across the content both telling new character stories and the content focused on or just reference past incarnations are any of the still living original cast used including the most famous one of them all - the one who only months ago actually went to space

                            Last Picard episode was weak.

                              Yep. It was.

                                Admittedly, several of them have died (Scotty, McCoy and Spock). Then Shatner remains but isn't he supposed to be very difficult to work with?

                                George Takei has said many times that he finds Shatner to be an egomaniac and very challenging to be around. From googling, it looks like Walter Koenig has said the same thing. Even Nimoy had some sort of friendship with him, but they parted ways in the year before his death and Shatner didn't attend his funeral.

                                I've never met the guy; but something worth considering is the character played by Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest, and just how right that movie got many aspects of Trek culture and fandom, made by people are part of the Hollywood bubble - and it's a known thing that Shatner dislikes the movie and says he can't see himself in the character.

                                I do think it's a shame that Takei isn't in more stuff, as I always find him a fun personality when he shows up on TV; but maybe he's just not motivated to do so.
