Re: DISCO Renewed for Season Four

Speaking of official news, TrekMovies posted that Star Trek productions will be adding an AR Wall to create virtual sets like on The Mandalorian, this will be great for Strange New Worlds as it will be returning to the planet of the week formula, and being able to create different alien worlds that...

Re: Star Trek Dsicovery: Season Three

And the show had more of...er...whatever the mean sarcastic engineer lady is. Jett Reno. Yeah, not going to lie - I think she has the coolest name of anyone in the series. Jett Reno just sounds so... damn. It sounds awesome to say . On top of it, she's competent and reasonably self-aware. She's bas...

Re: Star Trek Dsicovery: Season Three

Well episode 2 is a much better episode then most. Less Burnum and more anyone else in the crew is always good Burnham. So borg girls name is ''demeter" , wow great to know her name as she has sort of been around from episode one. She's not a borg and her name is Keyla Detmer. We know her name sinc...

Re: Star Trek Dsicovery: Season Three

That was a great season-opener. Let's hope they move forward instead of looking back. As long as they don't try to make The Burn into a mystery plot, I think the Rebuilding will go well as a story. Leave The Burn as the inciting incident for this setting and no more. Agreed, although I'm sure the c...

Re: Star Trek Dsicovery: Season Three

Bare in mind that the damage is done, and no Warp Drive has been a status quo for over a century, and there is no way to unto the Burn with time travel, or a villain has been introduced that wants the status quo to remain or that benefited from the Burn, the story of season three is that of rebuild...

Re: Does it make sense watching Episode 4 after Episode 3?

That's the least of the continuity problems. My biggest criticism is how Obi Wan describes his friendship with Anakin in glowing terms that we NEVER see first hand. In Episode 4? All he says to Luke is that Anakin was "the best star pilot in the galaxy and a cunning warrior" and that "he was a good...

Re: The Star Wars Sequels Erased?

Wait. Kathleen Kennedy has been fired? Again?

We should start a pool: "Who will get fired most often: Kennedy or Kurtzman?"

Re: Every Darth started as a Jedi Knight

Palpatine did not start as a Jedi. Darth Maul did not start as a Jedi. As far as we know Darth Bane did not start as a Jedi and most probably neither were anyone between him and Palpatine.

Re: Reviews of Star Trek: Picard season one

Gonna rant on this a little. Finished the series, and it was honestly shocking how badly they bungled their own themes in the end run. Once again logic is sacrificed for the sake of spectacle, and not even impressive spectacle at that. Romulans were dealt a huge blow by the disaster on Romulus, but...

Re: Name your biggest SF pet peeve, please?

A lot of the pet peeves I had about Sci-Fi disappeared when I realized that most of sci-fi movies and TV shows were made primarily for entertainement and were barely deeper than the B-movies and serials they derived from. Therefore, I am not asking for a lot of consistency. Yes a minimum of consiste...
