Star Trek

Posting a few thoughts as a comment to keep things somewhat unassuming.

One of the core tenets of "Star Trek" is an undercurrent of pacifism. The ships we see in any given "Star Trek" series are usually research vessels devoted to missions of exploration and study. Just as often, they do repair work on distant worlds, help planets in severe environmental trouble, or taxi diplomats to important peace talks. And while the U.S.S. Enterprise is equipped with weapons like phasers and photon torpedoes, they are only very rarely assigned a mission of combat. More often, the crew of the Enterprise will threaten a potential battlefield foe while still doing everything they can to avoid war.

I've only found this on amazon.de and they have no stock. Doing a web search turns up nothing. It's like it never existed, but the listing on amazon.de says it was released on January 31st 2023. Can anyone help?

"She was given a receipt that said 'plates destroyed.' But for the next four years, Ms. Koorey, 75, was entangled in state bureaucracy and caught in the zeal of “Star Trek” fans ..."

Where is a new set of actors for TNG? If a new TNG series/movie was made, who could the actors be for that?

(You have to go to their website to watch because, as of posting this, it's not listed on YouTube.)

It's been a bad year for Trekkies.

Variety article:

Spotted some great overhead detail shots in VOY s7e14 "Prophecy" and had to share.

I have been watching Star Trek and after going through the original series, the animated series and season 1 of the next generation, i thought i should watch one of the movies!

I’ve played the free demo on Steam, which is a glorified walking simulator at this point, but it’s still pretty interesting.

I just discovered this today.

I came across this box set and it's really messing me up for a lot of reasons (it is marked TOS despite having characters from all over the place, and for some mistaken reason Gul Dukat is included) but what I really wanted to talk about was Q's inclusion.

$55 is too much for me, but someone else here may feel it’s worth it.

His portrayal of the self aware hologram Vic on DS9 was always a highlight for me. In the midst of an ongoing war epic, they’d sprinkle in moments for Fontaine to cheer/distract the crew and audience. His beautiful voice helped Nog through the loss of his leg and the PTSD incurred from battle. He got Odo to remove the proverbial stick from his ass. Plus, he helped to orchestrate a ridiculous heist on the holodeck in order to save his program. He will be missed.

Paramount’s latest round of layoffs is here and brutal.

Episode premise:

Random Trek Review: I am going to review random episodes of Trek shows using an online tool. I decided to start with random episodes of Voyager.

Per Variety

There are 943 Star Trek episodes and movies if you include Short Treks and the Kelvin timeline.

I want to think Shatner put on Majel Barrett and Nichelle Nichols' wigs at home and talked about what a pretty lady he was while looking in the mirror.

(I did not write the text at the top, that's just how I found the image.)

A copy of the script is still in existence, but no one appears to have scanned it in- https://www.tvobscurities.com/2018/06/gene-roddenberrys-secret-defence-117-script/

I made a joke post about watching all of Star Trek again and some people asked me about my viewing order,so I decided to make a more formal post about it.

Supposedly for petty personal reasons:

Seriously the only episode of the television that can get me to cry EVERY. TIME.

"The approach we were told to take is that Kirk really had to be the one to lead everyone. [...] Not necessarily that he had to actually have the idea to do something, but it had to appear as if he has the idea."
