14 days agoWhat I would not give to never hear about another Star Trek film “in the works” before it actually starts filming.

TrekMovie playing the clickbait game with the best of 'em.
The guys being interviewed didn’t even say they wanted to make a darker Trek, just that the story they’re working on is darker than what they’ve done before, for whatever value that has.
I have to imagine IDW already has something in the works.

TNG Season 8 was great fun. Mike McMahan also wrote Warped: An Engaging Guide to the Never Aired 8th Season, that is basically full episode outlines for an entire season, based on his TNG_S8 posts.
Additionally, I’d recommend https://bsky.app/profile/foundepisodes.bsky.social, which I recently discovered, and is inspired by TNG_S8
Best episode of the season so far, pretty easily. One of the best episodes of the series.
Gene Roddenberry could claw his way out of his grave, drive to my door with a platter of my favourite Tex Mex to soften the blow, and personally tell me that atrelene is, was, and always has been a Q, and I would still call bullshit.

• Orions!
• Black & White episode!
• TOS hair Uhura!
• Dragon!
• Trelene… ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄
I cannot express frequently enough how much it bothers me that his current iteration of Paramount own Trek, Avatar – martial arts and friendship, not blue cat people – and TMNT.
Regardless of what I do or do not want, Paramount keeps announcing that they’ve got movies in pre-production.
Okay, but what if she was also T’Rul gathering info on Starfleet before taking on the Seska role?
My complaints are things like “this is the first time anyone in Star Trek (outside of time travel) mentioned inches.”
Why are you blaming Disco for something that TNG did?
I later learned she was also supposed to be Cardassisn, which I totally missed as well.
I found that Cardassian prosthetic they used to be pretty distracting. I’m guessing it must have been one of those full face deals based on how Tawny Newsome’s features were flattened out and broadened, giving her an almost uncanny valley situation. Pretty sure the Cardassian prosthetic in the 90’s shows were more appliques glued in place, and then make-up was applied on top. Also, the fact that Illa wasn’t grey like every other Cardassian we’ve seen really bumped me. It wasn’t until the reveal that she’s also part Trill that the skin tone, and less obvious ridges stopped being annoying. I still don’t think it was a great prosthetic.
Damn, I’ve been enjoying the series more than I ever expected to, but this episode really got me.
868858.7 - that puts it pretty definitively after DSC season 5
Was that in question Reno being an instructor would seem proof enough that it was after her time on Discovery.
You’re going to need to back those claims up with some actual evidence beyond whiney youtube conspiracy nonsense
You do understand the differences between modern television making and 25 years ago, correct?
If modern era Trek was really so unsustainable, would they be going into their ninth year of it?
What is your evidence that Trek is doomed?
Also, if you don’t like the shows currently being produced, is it really that sad?
Complaining about “kids these days ruining Star Trek” is just sad, Bud. If you can’t engage with people on here without insulting them based on an assumed trait, kindly find another place to talk about Trek.
And, just so we’re clear, I’m old enough that I’ve been watching Trek since before TNG was in production, and my favourite episodes have always been the silly ones.
Remember when Kirk and Spock went to the gangster planet, and Kirk got really into the role?
Remember when Worf, Alexander, and Troi were trapped on the holodeck populated by western archetypes that all had Data’s face and abilities, including the busty saloon madame? Talk about fully functional.
Remember when, in the middle of a war with an existential threat, the crew of DS9 stopped to play baseball against Sisko’s academy bully?
Remember when the Doctor started day dreaming, including improvising an opera about how Tuvok was overtaken by the pon’farr, and the potato shaped aliens using him to spy on the crew thought everything he was imagining was real?
Remember almost every holodeck, Ferengi, mirror universe, or Lawaxana Troi episode? Star Trek can be deep and serious and meaningful, but it can also be very, very silly. And that’s awesome.
Star Trek taught me to have hope for the future
