Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/star-trek-pike-spock-series-set-at-cbs-all-access-1294704 From the article: "The streamer has handed out a straight-to-series order for Star Trek: Discovery spinoff Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The drama will see Anson Mount, Ethan Peck and Rebecca ...

Re: Picard returns!

I just got done reading the Star Trek Picard tie in novel. I REALLY enjoyed it, gave a lot of good backstory to the actual Romulan system evacuation efforts and the ship building on Mars, a lot of the political drama as well. Also dove deeper into the development of Picard and Raffi's working relat...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

then move on to Val's favorite movies, the Kelvin universe :club: :cursing_r :protest: I know this will make Olorin cringe, but I'm considering doing the entire Alien/Predator marathon, which would include, the original four Alien movies, the two (awful, I know) AvP movies, the two more recent Ridl...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

So I started watching the Trek movies and happened to watch First Contact on First Contact day, and watched Insurrection last night, will probably get to Nemesis tonight, then move on to Val's favorite movies, the Kelvin universe :P After that, I guess I could start another film series.. its been a ...

Re: Picard returns!

Same as Olorin... I am gonna dive deeper later. I will say the best moment was Riker showing up! Jeez that gave me some chills. And a quick note, I figured, at the beginning of the season when they mentioned Picards illness, thats how they would have closed out the show, after a few seasons, we got ...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Since my normal life (as well as most other people's lives) have been turned upside down and backwards.. I've decided I am gonna rewatch the Star Trek movies, starting with the riveting Motion Picture. Its been quite a while since I watched the movies from TMP to Nemesis. I usually wake up around 4:...

Re: Picard returns!

Really good episode! Loved the cube coming thru. Loved the different androids, loved Brent Spiner getting to play another Soong family member. Excited to see how it all ends, and also sad, because I am really enjoying it!

Re: Picard returns!

I was choked up during reunion scenes with Troi and Riker, I mean it was nice to see 7 of 9 and Hugh, but nothing compared to the emotional connection Picard has with Troi and Riker. Troi was definitely being Troi and was never one to back down from saying what she needed to say, even to Picard. Rik...

Re: Picard returns!

Poor Icheb. Poor, sweet Icheb. I wonder why both roles were recast. Fans on TrekMovie speculate that since the Icheb death scene is a flashback and Icheb would only have been in his 20s, while the original actor is in his 40s, to be the reason. As for Maddox' recasting, I think the new guy was a be...

Re: Picard returns!

Yea, on one hand I get the "pop culture" stuff like vaping, but like you say, that would be long gone, in terms of Roddenberry's vision... but in reality, will these types of vices really be gone? Humans have a long history of doing bad things to themselves. Also with the no pockets thing,...

Re: Picard returns!

I am still enjoying it definitely... the "F" bomb was kind of jarring in the sense that its Star Trek, not that I don't say that particular word about 43939 times a day, and I am sure high ranking members of military, both men and women will say it out of frustration/anger. I do like the s...

Re: Picard returns!

No new insights upon a second watch? Interesting that you still weren't able to answer my "what is the exact nature of the synthetics" question. That tells me that very important plot point is still rather ambiguous at this point. You're right in that they are probably androids, but I do ...

Re: Picard returns!

I know at least one person who's seen the premiere episode, she's a die hard trekkie and said she loved it...

I am super optimistic and cant wait for this show. I also am having faith that Patrick Stewart wouldnt agree to do a show if he really didnt believe in it.

Re: Game Of Thrones

I am still a bit (or more than a bit) bitter about season 8. Season 8 was like eating a lemon in an orange peel, expecting something sweet, but getting sour.

I am completely indifferent about the GoT prequels at this point.

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

You're getting your worlds mixed up, BC. Wands-R-Us is located near Hogwarts. What you're thinking of is their parent-company, Staves-R-Us, located in that new mall in Bree. That's where Gandalf gets a lot of reward points for being a frequent customer. Hahaha, ooops! My fantasy worlds are colliding.

Re: LOTR TV adaptation

Oh yes we DEFINITELY live in a different time from TNG or even Doctor Who 9th Doctor/Season 1 (2005). Another thing with the streaming channels is, a lot of them, netflix/amazon mass release the entire season. I think that can help/hurt. If the first episode or 2 are kinda blah, I can say, well let ...

Re: LOTR TV adaptation

I think we dont give tv series enough time to work out the kinks, we expect to be blown away immediately. Look at season 1 of The Next Generation, or the 9th doctor of Doctor Who?!

Re: Picard returns!

I've been out of town for work and out of the loop so I just watched the trailer and loved it, hearing Picard say engage again and saying he doesn't want it to end had me choking up. I saw some stills on Facebook and when I saw 7 of 9 I let out an audible Holy $hit :) As I live and breathe...BC liv...

Re: Game Of Thrones

I would say that definitely, the good outweighs the bad and my ill feelings havent subsided but maybe have lessened as I have had a couple of weeks to calm down and reflect. I will say that the HBO documentary that aired the week after the finale REALLY put things in perspective for me. Meaning, as ...

Re: Game Of Thrones

Jon got what he wanted after all, he was "home" north of the wall with the wildlings, they wrote it as punishment, but it was hush hush just letting him be who he wanted to be. They did have the comment about is there even a nightwatch anymore. It is what it is now. It wasnt nearly as bad ...

Re: Game Of Thrones

I am still wrapping my head around the finale. My first thoughts were "well, its better than having my fingernails ripped out by pliers"

Re: Game Of Thrones

Basically, what I hear Back saying is, Cersei should have had time to have about 2 kids since announcing that pregnancy :) They should have never did 2 short seasons, especially this 6 episode final season. MAYBE the writing and story would have had time to develop... Orrr I'd be complaining for 4 e...

Re: Game Of Thrones

Ran into a couple minor GoT stars this weekend at Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas :P https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60466259_10101105473868860_5602215870429396992_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_eui2=AeGd8q9PPkFq8DYmTb868RsEuRMF7WFA9WKno-5EAYuc8hf3UphvaSYkEuU_SMkQeZWuUyqa4z_-hXxMxJ1gyc8crCyM...

Re: Game Of Thrones

But she can stare dramatically with the best of them! haha

As far as more physical signs, ie baby bump. I've learned time is relative to the characters and plot lines in Westeros, and dont line up, even for people standing next to each other.

Re: Game Of Thrones

Oh where does one begin? Spoiler warning of course, and also, these are going to be my free flowing thoughts, so they may jump around. I think the only satisfaction I am getting with Game of Thrones now is having everyone's fan theories they KNOW are going to be right on, end up being COMPLETELY and...

Re: Game Of Thrones

I liked this episode more than episode 3, because, well most of it took place in the day time. Oh yea, Dany become a psychopath has been obvious for a few seasons now. She's lost 2 dragons, she lost Missandei, she's attempted to force Jon to keep the Targaryen revelation a secret because she is fear...
