I met Seán at STLV last year (I known I encountered Ellie but wasn’t aware till after the con) and was nice. There were people who asked for photos with him, which he seemed gracious to take. Me personally, I didn’t want to ask him because it looked like he was there with his partner.

It isn’t exclusively a series centered on Janeway. This series would be presumably similar to Picard in that notion.

I think these type of discussions came about shortly after season 1 of Picard.

This came straight from someone on Star Trek: The Cruise.

EDIT: I need to add that the last date of the Cruise for 2025 is March 2, so unless you where there, no one else would have heard.

So the views on Vulcan society, were skewed by Spock? Are you saying his comments should be interpreted as having bias?

I forgot it.

The only story we have set in the 20th or 21th century are “Return to Tomorrow Tomorrow is Yesterday”, “Future’s End”, “Future’s End, Part II”, “Carpenter Street”, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, PIC season 2, and First Contact. If there are more, they escape me. These stories are all set on Earth. My best assumption would be that after the 21st century is when automobiles got phased out of society. There isn’t really a good reason to show roads when cars aren’t a necessity for travel.

However for whatever reason, as Mariner points out, we still have bridges.

I think PRO is a step in the right direction.

He would be a better judge of that observation. However I was at STLV last year and there was a sizable number of younger fans (especially those who are teenage). Maybe not a lot.

What is the age range they are classifying as young? Are they talking like teenagers or mid-20s to 30s? The thing with Star Trek that I think attributes to the non-fans not watching would be the stylization. Going back to the comparison of MCU, HP, and Star Wars: they all have something unique (be it the directing, photography, acting, writing, music, special effects, etc.) that if you pay attention for a significant period will find. Star Trek is no different. When you watch a MCU movie or TV show you probably see the sleek costumes and fast paced fight choreography. With HP, it was probably all the special effects, makeup and set design. For Star Wars it might be the writing, special effects and music.

I’m being non-specific here of course. Star Trek like I said is no different. There are visual and non-visual language being utilized that we find enjoyment in. For anyone not currently into these properties, it could be difficult to enjoy. Especially if you haven’t been someone who watched these properties from a young age or from the early years. For example, if you had someone exposed to only the Kelvin Timeline try to watch TOS or TNG with no context for how it relates, a disconnect might form. Visually those series are not as sleek or modernized as those movies.

As for the comparison to video games… that is simply a different medium. What appeals to one person to the next will be hard to gage. That doesn’t preclude the likes of Fortnite players from enjoying Trek, but culturally that kind of entertainment is very different from what a kid who grow up with TNG was exposed to.

He did get around. He would totally get with anyone that said yes. But at the same time he wouldn’t try to get between a widow and his captain.

EDIT: He literally sleep with people while on away missions. “First Contact” he got coerced by the doctor into sex to stay safe.

How do you feel about your species being used as the nomenclature for “test subject”?

Got my ticket, which is on my birthday.

I once had a conversation with someone about a hypothetical thing and they said it was the plot of this movie.

I eventually watched it after that.

Which leads me to think this occurred before any of it. Or at the time they relegated their lower tier ships and starbase to this mission (explaining why we haven’t heard of California-class before). Everyone else is trying to help Romulus. Which of course we know the black hole created didn’t work, thus leaving the Prime Timeline without Spock.

Was this the story I expected? No.

Did I enjoy this? I thought it was awesome.

The impending supernova doesn’t occur until 2387 and the latest stardate available indicates a year of 2382 (“Fully Dilated”). The synth attack on Mars, which as a reminder was orchestrated by Zhat Vash to stop the evacuation fleet, happened on First Contact Day of 2385. The closest we’ve gotten was PRO. And I can’t figure out how to add a spoiler so I won’t mention it.

That was for certain the surprise guest star.

The romance between Bashir and Garak is lifted from a fan-written script that Alexander Siddig and Andrew Robinson participated in table read of. I haven’t watched this but check it out. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL6Y6m9C-4ulaz0BIRw4Kf4ebSEWVzaT5

That was fucking epic.

Also, she goes by Jolene now?
