Planned on paying for the service, but my life has been collapsing in on itself like Vorash's sun, so I haven't had a chance.



Living Witness was always a good episode.



Oh god, the bit with Geordi.

Living Witness is indeed an excellent episode. More Picardo, less Neelix is the way to make an excellent episode.

Discovery finale? wtf?

The only solution to WWII in space is to genocide the Space Nazis.
Go Prime Directive on their Ass. That's logical, Captain.

But then Michael gives the Big reD Button to the Lady high Inquisitrix because nothing could possibly go wrong???

Every single nu-Klingon in DIScovery would press that button immediately.
FOR HONOUR!!!

Societies can only really be changed from within.

So far season four of Enterprise has already surpassed the previous three in quality imo. Shame that’s when it got cancelled.

Jebus, have either of you ever heard of spoilers?

Which episode are you on currently?

Like that's an accomplishment...

Just watched “Kir’Shara”, the last in the Vulcan-trilogy.

It gets better, trust me.

Say what you will about ENT season 1, it was no worse than TNG season 1, and ENT season 2 was decent. Season 3 was good, and 4 was even better.

Except for that god-awful finale.

[The Alexanderians]

Ah the limitations of TNG’s budget. The Romulans expected to subjugate Vulcan with 2000 troops? 2000 troops couldn’t occupy DC, let alone a planet.

They could have gotten around that limitation if they really tried. Seems more like a case of sci-fi writers have no sense of scale or star trek's writers being woefully out of their element when it comes to anything military (With some great exceptions mind you).

TBH I'm still a few episodes into Season 1 and I think a few episodes are neat.

I liked Terra Nova. The idea of rediscovering the survivors of a lost colony was cool.

On another note, I'm finally on Season 7 of DS9.

Enterprise, or Deep Space Nine?

Because I think Enterprise is alright so far. Deep Space Nine is awesome.

[Brusia]

Speaking of DS9, the new DS9 expansion finally came out in Star Trek Online. It's a little short at the moment (though I'm pretty sure they'll be adding on additional missions over time) but alot of fun, and I'd definitely recommend it to DS9 fans (especially if you enjoyed the Magnificent Ferengi episode).

Enterprise might suck, but Shran is still a favorite

I was asking about DS9. I find it to be a nice break from how incredibly naive and idealistic the other trek shows could be.

[The Alexanderians]

Shame it didn't get another season he was slated to be a main character if it did.

...Yeah, like 5 months ago...

Star Trek: Discovery showrunners Berg and Harberts are out, replaced by executive producer Alex Kurtzman

Apparently the changes are not due to creative issues, but operational and leadership issues, in particular it seems the two showrunners were incredibly hostile and abusive towards the writing staff, and that several members of the team threatened to leave the show or file complaints with HR over how uncomfortable it was now to work on the show. And that the show runners doubled down apparently with "imposing remarks" once rumours of these HR complaints began circulating. Akiva Goldman is also not returning to season 2 of the show.

So, big ole changing of the guard there, and if true, seems like they were both utter dickheads.

“abusive to the Discovery writing staff, with Harberts said to have leaned across the writers room table while shouting an expletive at a member of the show's staff. ”


Oh come off it. I get that’s unprofessional, but “leaves across the table and shout an expletive?” Really? They’re making it sound like he physically assaulted someone.

And this is already being celebrated as the thing that kills the show for good. Because apparently that is a good thing for some reason.

I seem to recall there being a similar issue between a lot of the TNG writing staff and Roddenberry's lawyer. Apparently, this was the root cause of D.C. Fontana leaving, among others.

It kind of would be. Give The Orville the room to flourish

[Ameriganastan]

I am for this possibility.

[Tarsonis]

The Orville premiere has been pushed back to New Years. Also season 2 will have 14 episodes rather than 22. Seth basically said he doesn’t want to do cheap filler, and would rather have fewer but quality episodes.


I’m okay with these developments

[Earthbound Immortal Squad]

True but sometimes the "cheap" episodes are the better ones as they have to have a better story to replace the effects.
