The STD producers can call it Prime for whatever legal reasons they wish, what with the Paramount/CBS Trek-sharing arrangement, but it is obviously STINO: The Previous JJeneration and an appeal to the JJ-Trek audience. To paraphrase the Great Bird, it may be good, but it isn't Star Trek. Out of cur...

You didn't like some of the later seasons of Enterprise?

I don't even know if I will watch it at all. At first I just sort of read that and went on...then it hit me that this is the webmaster saying that. I suppose we'll see just how good or bad it is, and maybe you'll follow good reviews to CBS. But it's a little sad to think of the site going out to pa...

I guess DSC is being viewed as "the big kahuna" by CBS. And allegedly has a few episodes done. http://trekmovie.com/2017/05/05/moonves-couple-of-star-trek-discovery-episodes-in-the-can-expects-younger-demo/ I'm trying to sort out how much it's going to cost an episode, which depends on how...

As noted, in Sci-Fi outside of Trek you do see VLS type systems. Anime in particular has a love of ships having those stuck all over the place so that they can fill the screen with hundreds of missiles. (whether the missiles actually can hit or damage anything is another questions). In Trek I always...

Is it just me or is anybody else seeing this during the Superbowl?

It has always been assumed during Star Trek, TNG, that the Enterprise had a rather large resident science staff (including, I assume, assistants/interns). I was going to say that, given their mission profile, it doesn't seem very practical to have interns, however the Galaxy class had all those fam...

I'd found a bit more detail in: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/movies/star-trek-axanar-fan-film-paramount-cbs-settlement.html?_r=0 The upshot seems to be that Axanar is going to happen, but instead of being a feature length production it's going to be limited to two 15 minute chunks, so if they ...

He's going through some shit right now, but is definitely on the verge of coming through it stronger than he started. I will pass on your regards.

Give him a shout out from me as well.

I just found out about this and was going to post it, but credit to Atekimogus for getting it first.

I was pretty young (or nonexistent) in the 80s, but my impression was that PTSD wasn't so very well understood then, if it can be said to be well understood now. I seems it was only added as a medical condition in the 80s, but I don't feel like it was until after the recent Iraq/Afganistan wars that...

Season 3 of Enterprise was a serious step-up from 1 and 2. Season 4 was what the show should have been in the first place. Had it continued, season 5 would have laid more ground-work for the Earth-Romulan war and the subsequent formation of the Federation. I always wondered about that. They set Ent...

I still like ENT and the NX-design. :P I got sick of it and stopped watching at the end of season one with Shockwave. However recently with an Amazon prime subscription I've returned to the series and I'm actually quite enjoying season 3. I could make quite a few nits, but nevertheless I have to ad...

A CNET author seriously asked "iPod, the music thing?" Anyway on the prime directive. At first I thought it was ridiculous. Later I came to appreciate it as ridiculous in world, but that it made sense for the writers. It let them have these very relateable espisodes in TOS and TNG that wou...

Opp. Posted in the wrong thread.

Well, while I'm here, nice write up on the front page!
