  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x01 "Dos Cerritos" & 5x02 "Shades of Green"

    Jump

  • As a fan of mysteries, my mind tends to clasp onto details that writers felt important enough to mention, but had no bearing on the plot up to this point.

    The fact that the ship Tendi recovered was a “medical frigate” triggered such an alarm in my head. Yes the ship was able to gas the Blue Orions, but that’s hardly a feature unique to medical ships.

    We Know:

    • Tendi wants to come back to help raise her niece.
    • Tendi wants to be a captain
    • The finale is going to have some tear jerking moments
    • This is the last season.

    I think we’re being prepped for the main cast to go their separate ways, not unlike the DS9 finale.

    We’ve had some foreshadowing with Freeman and Starbase 80. I wonder if the finale might end with her being posted there, as an admiral. Fix it up, that sort of thing, rather than an exile.

  • Vice Press to Release Star Trek: Lower Decks Fine Art Posters

    Jump

  • I really want the S5 set, and the S1 poster.

    Not really sold on a full set at the moment.

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Begins Production on Season 1

    Jump

  • If we go by the gap between Strange New Worlds beginning filming, and S1’s release, we could see Academy around November of next year.

  • Colm Meaney Isn't Sure Star Trek Needs an Old Man Miles O'Brien

    Jump

  • I feel like Dennis the buffer buff from the Lower Decks S3 Premiere was intended to be O’Brien, (Transporter enthusiast, war veteran) but for whatever reason it didn’t pan out…

    … which I honestly felt worked out for the best. Dennis was like my grandpa.

  • [Prodigy spoilers] 30 Years Later, Star Trek Finally Pays Off Its Strangest Sci-Fi Twist

    Jump

  • Dude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.

  • Paul Giamatti Boards ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’

    Jump

  • Not impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.

    And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.

  • I would recommend looking into a USB Ethernet adapter.

  • [Official] Switch 2 will be announced this fiscal year + June direct confirmed

    Jump

  • Star Fox tends to launch at the end of a console’s life… so there’s that maybe.

    Sakurai has been up to something… probably the next Smash, but I can always dream it’s a new or even remade Kid Icarus.

    And probably some last minute WiiU ports.

    Metroid Prime 4 is probably too high profile to leave to the switch… (and Mario hasn’t had a launch title since the N64, maybe GCN at a stretch) but they could always pull a Twilight Princess I suppose.

  • What is a bad writing trope you hate in fantasy fiction ?

    Jump

  • This is specific to the videogame-ish sub-genre, mostly Isakeis…

    But you go out of the way to include RPG mechanics into your story… but the only real influence it has on the storytelling is spending an inordinate amount of time grinding… a mechanic explicitly added to RPGs to pad the game.

    There are good video game based stories, Survival Story of a Sword King and Dungeon Reset both immediately come to mind… but I feel like this is a widespread problem.

  • Preview ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5 Premiere With New “Red Directive” & “Under The Twin Moons” Images

    Jump

  • They’re all beautiful shots, but something about them doesn’t leave me curious about their contexts. I wish I could articulate it better….

    Like maybe it’s not enough of a tease?

    Or maybe that you could’ve told me most of those shots were from S4 and I wouldn’t question it?

    Or the lack of a contextual caption maybe?

  • ‘BioTrekkie With The Admiral’ YouTube Series Returns For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5

    Jump

  • Lethe. That's who I was thinking of. Like Cornwell was Lethe before she became Lethe.

  • ‘BioTrekkie With The Admiral’ YouTube Series Returns For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5

    Jump

  • Wasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?

    I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.

  • Difference Between Nerd and Geek

    Jump

  • If this is a joke, it’s going over my head. But as I understand it:

    Geek: Socially Acceptable, Really smart about a particular topic, or in general. Nerd: Socially awkward, really smart about a topic or in general. Dork: Socially awkward, not especially bright.

  • The Future of ‘Star Trek’: From ‘Starfleet Academy’ to New Movies and Michelle Yeoh, How the 58-Year-Old Franchise Is Planning for the Next Generation of Fans

    Jump

  • Maybe maybe not? At the very least least it tells us where Carl dropped Georgiou off.

  • You can swap the roles of any two actors in a movie. What do you pick?

    Jump

  • Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday

  • Breaking - Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 Is Out Now In France! – Trek Central

    Jump

  • I would recommend two pins.

    One being the season one you’re proposing… and a second for a focal episode to discuss and cycle it out every two days.

    So for the first two days we’d focus on the first episode (episodes? It’s a two parter) then the pin would be swapped with the next episode.

    This would allow more in depth discussion while acknowledging binge watching.

  • Super Mario Bros. Wonder Producer Says There's Room for 2D and 3D: 'Everyone Should Enjoy Them Both' - IGN

    Jump

  • TBH, it’s surprising it took until the Wii for Nintendo to learn this lesson on console.

    Heck, the GBA didn’t even have an original Mario Playformer.

  • You have to pick something to have US dollar be backed by, what do you pick?

    Jump

  • But then profits would hinge upon such concepts. It might actually be brilliant long term.

  • Paramount Has A Plan To Bring Star Trek Back To The Big Screen, Says Roddenberry Entertainment Exec

    Jump

  • McMahan has previously tried to garner support for a LD movie, live action at that, but there’s nothing to suggest that it’s been greenlit. If anything, we may have gotten LD S5 instead.
