I think the show runners decided not to push it and end it the way they wanted to.

Yeah, no way that Paramount doesn’t go with the five year mission, given the Pike backstory.  Fans want that.

There is also the chance that Paramount will say “fuck it” and Strange New Worlds will do it’s five years and then smoothly segue into a “new” series with the start of Kirk, Uhura, Nurse Chapel, Spock, Scotty, etc.  All we are missing is Chekhov, Sulu, Rand, and Bones, and it would be easy to cast and intro those characters over the next two years of SNW, and Paramount wouldn’t have to build new sets.

Hell, I think that’s why we have Kirk and Scotty already. I bet they do it.

I never thought I’d say this, but if they give us SNW up to Pike’s disfigurement and then segue into Kirk’s Enterprise, I will watch the shit out of it. I have no idea where that thought came from, because I fucking loathe the Abrams movies, but I’m perfectly fine with them giving us a season or two of Kirk’s Enterprise.

I can’t believe I just said that.

They’ll do Star Trek: Legacy after that.

I hope they don't segue into Kirk's enterprise and re-do season 1/2 of TOS. 

Do something different.  Post-Enterprise/Pre-Disco is a big time period - literally 100 years (2155-2256).  In between LD/Prodigy and Picard too (2380-2399) too.

And lest we forget, we are getting Tawny's live action comedy Trek as well

I’m pleased with this episode.  Between this and What We Do in the Shadows, and with Agatha, I’ve got a nice little weekly roundup to follow.

Here’s hoping Lower Decks and Shadows finish strong.

Went over to my dad's last night, we're now on the last 5 episodes of DS9. We saw "Strange bedfellows" last night. I'm gonna go back today and tomorrow and we'll finish the series. I forgot how fucking awesomely evil Kai Winn is during these last few episodes, she's repugnant. I always thought leaving Gul Dukat as a blind beggar on Bajor would have been a much better fate for him.

“Unification,” a new short created with the use of a combination of archival footage and CGI imposed over actors (with Kirk himself played by both William Shatner and actor Sam Witwer, and Spock by Lawrence Selleck), takes Captain Kirk on a brief trip though his memories, before watching the sun rise with an ailing Spock.

Spoiler

It’s a mostly silent short, save for a single line from Kirk lifted from The Wrath of Khan: “There are always possibilities, Spock said. And if Genesis is indeed life from death… I must return to this place, again.”

So I decided to take the plunge into complete nerdom. I'm watching every episode of every season of every series in airdate order along with the movies. I've seen probably 90% of TNG episodes, first season of Discovery, first season of Picard, and 90% TOS episodes over my life but that's it on the TV shows (not a single episode of Enterprise, TAS, DS9, SNW, Lower Decks, Prodigy, or Voyager in my life) so I have a shit ton to watch. Luckily, I take long lunch breaks every day and knock out an episode or two a day that way and can have a day here and there where I'm lazy and just hit 4 at once.

 

Right now I'm on TOS S2E10

So 440 days later and I'm on TOS S3E14. I'm currently on pace to die somewhere in the middle of TNG with an average lifespan.

 

I'm so ready for TNG but so much TAS and movies to go once I finish TOS.

You should watch Strange New Worlds.

And skip Discovery and the Abrams movies.

After TOS, given @SimonBolivar's past knowledge of the Star Trek universe, I would watch Discovery S2 which is basically SNW season 0.5, then watch SNW.

And definitely skip the Abrams movies.

Ready Room looks to be over and there’s lots of terth-gnashing that Paramount is cutting the fat ahead of the acquisition, but the fact is, that it probably didn’t cost much, and it’s competing with a shitload of well-produced YouTube shows.  Hell, there’s third-party YouTube shows that have 2-3 times as many views in just a single day.

It really has been the joy of a lifetime celebrating the Star Trek universe with you. This latinum age of Star Trek has brought us so many wonderful characters and storylines, and there is so much more ahead. 

With Strange New Worlds, Section 31, and Starfleet Academy all on the horizon — and more adventures in the final frontier to come — Gene Roddenberry’s vision of an optimistic future has never been more necessary or brighter. In the words of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, let’s see what’s out there.”

TOS is done with and on episode 3 of the TAS before we get the movies and TNG. I'm still ready to move on.

@SimonBolivar I’m not trying to spoil you, so don’t play this video.

My kid has been listening to soundtracks, and was playing this on YouTube, and now I’m keeping an eye out on the Alamo Drafthouse website, because if TMP pops back up for a screening, We are going (me just for the theme).  Just as John Williams’ score is The Superman Theme, I think Jerry Goldsmith’s TMP theme should be The Star Trek Theme.  Although James Horner’s Wrath of Khan was a strong contender.

I'm about to be on the movies. I was home sick from work yesterday and got through the entire first season of TAS. I'm actually liking it more than I thought I would, but then again I'm a sucker for cartoons with that style from the 70s. I'm thinking that I've seen the first 4 movies, but I don't really remember what happens too much in them.

What is the vibe on Section 31 right now? Is the community generally excited for it?

50/50

I'm always excited for new ST content and it's a standalone movie.  And Michelle Yeoh! 

But the detractors seem mostly to be that the "NuTrek" (I hate that term) writers have butchered Section 31 and expanded too much on it.

Lot of hate because it’s so far away from the optimism of Roddenberry’s Star Trek. Arguably DS9 started the peak behind the curtain at the dark stuff, but DS9 is beloved.

The feeling is similar to the hate for the Zach Snyder Superman stuff where it seems like he was more concerned with Zod no matter how many innocents had to die, versus the Christopher Reece Superman.

TV reflects the time period.  We live in a dark time, so TV seems be getting dark.

Yeah if only we lived in 1968 like TOS S2 & 3.

No, but seriously, you're right we are in a time when "dark" rules our entertainment. As noted by my excitement for Severance tomorrow.

 

 

Two of the top shows in 1968 were Gomer Pyle USMC and Mayberry RFD.

My biggest concern is it was a series that got condensed down in to a movie.  The reason for that could be because it was bad or was for money reasons that have nothing to do with it's quality.  We shall see.

I don’t think they could afford Yeoh, money or time, for a whole series after she blew up from EEAAO.  Filming got delayed due to COVID and her schedule (Shang Chi) and by the time they were ready to pick it back up, with SNW being prioritized again, she blew up.

Damn, Yeoh was 38 when she made Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

If the movie did extremely well, maybe they do a Section 31 series with other people.  Maybe get the guy who played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, he’s probably not doing much these days.

More likely they will shoehorn Section 31 into SNW and Tilly’s Starfleet Academy series.

Favorite film? My brother and I watched The Voyage Home and The Undiscovered Country several thousand times growing up. 
 

The battle sequence in Undiscovered County is unparalleled in Star Trek history. The Voyage Home was such a wild premise and they pulled it off while bringing attention to whale conservation. 
 

Generations is my favorite TNG film. Obviously. 
 

I was talking about this with a coworker recently and his favorite is Khan and then First Contact.

Generations has grown on me over the years.  Liked it when it came out, then kind of forgot about it as I moved on with ST on TV.  Watched it recently and it is pretty solid.

Another really cool idea that delivered. Also the Holodeck scene is pretty damn funny.
