I saw another post about Christian Slater and his casting, and someone brought up this point in the comments. Anyone else think this would be a worthwhile production? What kind of show would you want to see out of it? Or maybe given his current age, he'd be an admiral by now, which could be a different kind of show maybe a little more like West Wing.

Edit: lost era

I posted my TOS ranking a couple days back, so here's TNG. It'll be a while before DS9 though because I'm still in Season 6.

Hi!

This year I have promised myself to continue watching the most famous scifi series (finished Babylon 5 and BSG)

For Star Trek, as big as it is and as a first timer, I’ve decided to narrow a bit the scope and watch TNG full run, and only TOS Movies to get a grasp of how original Star Trek felt

The rest of the Trek series will get on stand by until I watch some other pending shows I have (Stargate SG1 and the Expanse)

After reading some info in this subreddit and some thinking, the order I’ve plotted is as follows:

Motion Picture

Space Seed TOS episode

Wrath of Khan

Search for Spock

Voyage Home

Final frontier

Undiscovered Country

Star Trek TNG 1-7

Generations

First contact

Insurrection

Nemesis

Picard seasons 1 and 3 (watch YouTube summary of 2)

Is this reasonable to get a first grasp of TOS and then TNG full run? What will you change?

Thanks in advance!

i remember a star trek episode involving a klingon (i think), falling in love with or interacting with someone of another race, and that was considered taboo in klingon cultute. i remember a scene where they went to the holodeck and danced, i think it was in new york and raining, and then they were discovered by another klingon. the alien of the other race was shot/killed in some way, and i distinctly remember a scene where the second klingon called for the holodeck arch and left the first klingon in the rain.

i’ve seen every star trek ever, the only series i can rule out that this episode isn’t from are prodigy, picard, strange new worlds, lower decks, animated and original series.

Or more accurately: will we get some kind of Star Trek that is genuinely prestige TV? (Skip to the bottom for a TL;DR.)

I've been into Trek my whole life and it's probably my favorite scifi series. It's silly here and there, and its lows are very low (Threshold, etc.) but its highs are quite high (In the Pale Moonlight, etc.) and it’s overall fun. Imo it’s never really achieved prestige TV levels though.

Star Wars was even sillier than Trek prior to Rouge 1 and Andor, but with Andor imo (and many critics agree) that it has finally achieved an actual prestige TV series. It’s extremely well written, acted, directed, designed, etc. It’s dark but it’s still hopeful. If you take the SW out of it, it’d still be a great show. If the SW name wasn't attached to it and the competition wasn't so stiff in the years s01 was released, it would probably be sweeping awards.

It seems like Trek was maybe aiming for grown up prestige TV with Picard (hiring Chabon to write s1, etc.) but the general consensus seems to be that PIC s1 and 2 were misses overall. Imo they were poorly written and trying too hard to be “dark” while still too silly to be taken anything approaching seriously. I still haven’t watched s3. I heard it’s better, but more like TNG fanservice.

DS9’s best / most serious episodes might be the closest to prestige TV in Trek. In the Pale Moonlight is basically classic literature levels of good. But those are interspersed with stuff like "hop along home" and petty vulcan captains wanting to crush Sisko in baseball. Those episodes are hilarious and campy fun, but it's definitely not prestige TV. The best episodes are amazing but they are surrounded by filler and campy episodes so the experience is a bit weighed down by them.

S31 seems like more camp but with a darker edge. I’ll watch it but I don’t think it will be what I’m hoping for.

Just to clarify: I like camp, cheese, YA stuff, unserious ‘just for fun’ stuff as well as prestige style things—otherwise I wouldn’t like Trek. I just also really enjoy prestige TV as well and would personally love to see ST produce some. I’m just not sure if it’s possible, or if it’s something the fanbase even wants. It seems like people are a bit burned out on darker shows after DIS and PIC missed the mark for many. FWIW I love LD and SNW for what they are, but it would just be so great to get an Andor style show to compliment them.

TL;DR: Do you think ST might ever produce something like Andor? Do you think it should? Do you think the setting lends itself to that? If so, what would your preference for a setting and characters be? Something like Star Trek: Garak or something brand new?

OMG... Did anyone know that René Auberjonois was the voice actor/singer behind Chef Louis in 1989's The Little Mermaid?

R.I.P. Odo.

I’m wanting to watch all of Star Trek and become a diehard fan

I’ve already seen Below Decks (S 1 and 2)

But I’m watching The Original Series After I’m finish with it should I go to Strange new worlds because I’ve heard that it’s the same characters like Spock and Kirk, or is there a list I should follow

Hi everyone! I’ve always wanted to get into Star Trek. And I figured with Disney making it so tough to enjoy Star Wars I’d finally make the plunge. What do you guys recommend to start out with? And what comes after? I’d love to hear from you!🖖

I’d say Hoshi Sato!

They knew, right? She was the Troy of cast. It had to have been on purpose.

I was turned off by the Jack Crusher story. I didn't buy the idea that the Beverly we knew from TNG would ghost Picard for decades to conceal the fact that they had a son, and that she'd conceal that fact because being known as Picard's son would be so dangerous. I thought this plot strand was an example of whipping up contrived drama at the expense of what we knew of the characters.

I'm wondering whether you think the show really gained anything from making Jack Picard's son. Couldn't Jack just have been some younger colleague whom Beverly was attached to and wanted to protect?

So, obvious spoilers.

At the end of S1 of Picard, Picard is transferred from a human body to a Golem body. He died of a neurodegenerative condition called Irumodic syndrome. This was developed after he was assimilated by the Borg.

At the start of S2, Picard & gang is transformed to have lived in an alternative timeline and Seven was never assimilated. Picard was referenced as 'Locutus' by the Borg queen at the time (Though later Seven explains that Queens see multiple timelines).

At the end of S2, Seven is reassimilated before later returning to the correct timeline, giving her back the implants [alternative reality Annika] was missing.

However, if this was Picard from the ultimate reality, he would not have been assimilated by the Borg, meaning he never would have developed Irumodic syndrome. Ultimately, he would not have died.

Does this mean Picard is now a human, at least from S2 onwards? I think it's also evidenced by the fact that Picard references himself as a human during his interrogation, though in the same scene, a quote from Rios calls him a flesh and blood robot, though explains that no-one would explain it to him.

Come join 😂 started as a joke but why not, it's perfect meme and joke and ig fanfic/fanart material xD

It's r/KlingonHugDungeons !

If he removed a part of his own body, like a hand for example, could he create a baby?

Right off the bat, I’m sorry if this has been asked before. Did a quick search before posting and nothing came up, so: here goes.

I just did a series run of Voyager after not having watched it in almost 15 years or so, and then only seeing about half of the episodes.

Overall, I liked it but the last episode Endgame was just so abrupt with the ending of them going to Earth after the action with the Borg.

I feel like there should have been a few episodes of the fallout, as it were, of them returning. Maybe Tom hashing out problems with his father, B’Elanna reconciling with her own dad, Seven having to adjust to life on Earth, Janeway being debriefed on her actions, et al. I think there was some stories there to tell.

Does anyone know if this was ever under discussion?

Many thanks for any insight!

Riker loves jazz, Picard listens to classical music etc. We also have Picard loving 20th century detective stories and in TOS there are references to Shakespeare.

I would understand of all things to predict for the future is music. Yet culture wise with music and literature advances seem to end with the 20th century. I always found it odd how music like Jazz survived all these centuries. While an excellent genre as time passes music tastes would change. Also why so Earth centric music and Western civilization music in particular.

Is there a canon reason why music and literature never really progressed or is predicting and creating futuristic genres that difficult?

Revatching DS9 this is bothering me. Let's put aside the fact that the whole thing was a plot.

Are officers seriously expected to waste precious seconds before firing at a decloaking ship in that situation? That's beyond stupid IMO. Any real civilian transport would:

- Avoid cardassian transport by wide margin given the hostilities

- Would put distance between itself and any ongoing battle

- Would certainly not go right in front of the one of the hostile ships and decloak for the hell of it

In actual give situation the odds that the decloaking ship is anything are astronomical and Worf is entirely correct to object that if anything not firing would be negligient. It kinda bothers me that at the end Sisko dresses him down for making the correct decision.

I saw a teaser for a new star trek movie/show? This morning on YouTube. It has San Francisco and a ship being NCC-1701 (didn't get the rest) docked. Then it had another number I didn't catch before it was over. Google searches yield nothing. WHAT IS IT?

I've seem several people mention that Cardassians appear to be a reptilian species, which is why Terok Nor was kept too hot and why Cardassians complain that it's so cold in DS9. If so, they're probably cold-blooded. So why don't their uniforms have heating systems? Surely, once they made contact with more space!faring species, they found that the vast majority are warm-blooded and the cold (to them) put them at a disadvantage.

I’m itching to completely upgrade and expand my Star Trek collection, (I have the DVDs of TOS, TNG and DS9 plus the blu rays of the reboot movies) but I resisted getting the blu rays this past Prime Day/Black Friday because the 60th anniversary is just around the corner.

If I am to ignore this year’s Prime Day/Black Friday deals, I need some certainty that I’m not waiting in vain.

Has anyone heard anything or are there any industry insiders with hints they’re willing to drop?

Or should I be snapping up the bargains as I spot them?

Any solid info or just wild conjectures appreciated.

Is the "To the Voyage" documentary available to watch, yet? If not, is there a date when it will be? Thank you.

Okay, a tiny little bit more added to the rumor, and that's that there will be a Gift-With-Purchase set available for people who buy the Enterprise-D set when it drops on Black Friday. LEGO is famous for doing these GWPs, and they never last long, almost always getting sold out the first day.

So what is this GWP, you ask?

A shuttlepod, with exclusive Ensign Ro minifigure.

If this whole rumor turns out to be false, I am going to need some serious therapy in the aftermath.

Hi, mine friend wants to watch Star Trek for first time. If there were three episodes to introduce them (least prior knowledge necessary) to show her the shows optimistic philosophy what would you recommend?
