Been reading Alan Dean Foster's JJ-verse book, The Unsettling Stars. It's pretty good. A decent balance of using the new versions of the characters, while giving them a 'classic' "Star Trek" kind of story. I also enjoy the cameo by ---V'Ger---.

Riker lied on his Starfleet application, they never would've let him in if they knew he was Canadian. The only thing worse than being a Romulan

One reason could be due to a plot centering around a virus that wipes out vast parts of the known universe, a topic that not seen as a good or sensitive fit if you’re making escapist entertainment given the current coronavirus pandemic.

Very confused now. I thought Hawley was supposed to be working on another JJTrek movie, but that report says he was doing something separate from that. Just from everything I've heard it doesn't sound like they are getting anywhere with these projects. The last time someone asked Tarantino about his ST project it sounded like it was basically dead.

Maybe Duras's treacherous father led a coup and they need Kahless to depose him?" *Time passes* "Ha! It was totally whales! Aren't you dumb fuckers shocked at that plot twist?"

Noah Hawley kicks rear end but I can't for the life of me see him doing a good Trek show e: he might be able to make lemonade out of the sack of probably-rotten lemons that is S31, I guess

Just had a thought. You could probably make a case that the reason Q introduced the Federation to the Borg early was so Voyager would know what they were coming up against and he knew Voyager was gonna be important for the continuum.

Doesn't Q explicitly tell Picard he introduced them early so they'd know what was coming?

There's also the First Contact/Enterprise retcon, where the Borg have been flying at mid-warp towards Earth for 200 years already, having received signals from the borg that traveled back in time. We were never going to run into them like Q implied, they were coming for us.

Well those Borg were only able to travel back in time because Q introduced the Enterprise to the Borg in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_-ZoO87KpY

Getting towards the end of TOS- The Tholian Web (rewatch)- Just pure classic Trek. One of the stronger episodes that uses the Kirk/Spock/McCoy relationship as a driving part of the plot. Like with some of the other classics it manages to keep things moving fast and also keep the tension going. The back and forth between Spock and McCoy about Spock's decision to stay and try to save Kirk is a good debate. I do find it funny that the story of the Defiant from this episode has persisted from TOS to ENT and then recently to Discovery. Plato's Stepchildren- This is probably the worst TOS episode I've seen, or at least in the bottom three. To be honest I knew nothing about this episode beyond the famous Kirk/Uhura kiss and I think that is also pretty overrated anyway after finally seeing it. Almost nothing happens in this episode and it just drags on and on. Just a lot of silly poo poo with the amoral leader of this planet making Kirk, Spock, and McCoy do things for his amusement which seem to never end. I did think that the scenes with the dwarf character Alexander were the only parts of interest here. He at least seems to have more dimensions than the other guest characters. There's really no reason to watch this episode, other than for the famous kiss, which is in the last 5 minutes or so of a huge slog of an episode.

FlamingLiberal posted:Getting towards the end of TOS- What's unintentionally hilarious about Plato's Stepchildren is that Kirk spends the entire episode convincing Alexander that they don't care about differences; to them, he's just another person regardless of his height. Then at the end of the episode Kirk makes that poorly thought out crack about having a "little surprise" for Scotty. In an episode full of ridiculous moments, that was probably one of the worst because it undermined one of the episode's messages.

Plato’s Stepchildren isn’t fun to watch and has no actual point but I respect its willingness to get fuckin’ weird. It’s almost Lynchian. The interracial kiss pales against Horse Kirk and Bitter Dregs.

I understand it being "boring" in the sense of nothing much happening, but William Shatner neighing like a horse will be forever in my memories. They tried oddly hard to milk drama out of Spock maybe stepping on Kirk though

Started watching Enterprise cause it's on Netflix and I figured I might as well. After watching episode 3, Strange New World, where they find a new earth-like planet and take zero precautions, I fully understand why the Vulcans "held humans back" from advancing their warp tech. Other thoughts: I like the doc. Episode 4 (Unexpected) having that whole bit where Trip was experiencing weird poo poo on the alien ship that really did turn out to be nothing was...odd? Like i guess they were trying to create some tension with the motives of the aliens, but it came across a bit weird I guess.

I really liked that, to a pretty good extent, the Vulcans were right about humans being stupid space babies. But eventually humanity’s natural insanity becomes an asset.
