Star Trek Megathread v3 - Discovery Makes Our Threat Ganglia Go Crazy - Film, Television and Music

Ships in Voyager's time take 70 years to cross the galaxy so jumping half a quadrant away should buy them decades.

I don't think I have been paying enough attention, how did control get from the station to the point it could infect Leland on his ship?

All the section 31 ships were directly connected to the station, so even though the station was scuttled, the AI was already linked to other ships and simply had to transfer it's core data over before the station was blown up.

Spock in his Enterprise uniform was accidentally leaked by 'Star Trek The Cruise', the image was removed, but people managed to grab it before then. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/108621/b0609365-3f18-4374-a953-436ea9a39a97/image.png

I felt that same gut-punch I got when I saw TNG in HD for the first time. Oh my god. I'm so excited to see this! There needs to be frame comparisons, but it does look like the latter half of the series' footage is in 16:9 while the earlier years seem to be blown up to fill the frame.

Hnnngh (Discovery Episode 13) The Enterprise bridge is beautifullllll https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/108621/d32c5b8a-034a-42e1-ab04-3996c612fdcd/image.png

It's the classic captain's chair holy shit I love this design.

Loved the bridge design, that's how you reboot a classic

For the love of god, Discovery, please give me a good old fashioned phaser angle tonight.

Yumm, those classic TOS phaser sounds, and actual phaser beams coming from capital ships. Also this was the first space battle the entire season, and the first time ship phasers have been fired at all IIRC.

I love how they covered the Golden Gate Bridge with solar panels. Feels right for a future where you really don't need the bridge, but want to keep it around while still being useful for something. Definitely a really satisfying finale. I'm looking forward to next season.

So is discovery in post TOS era now? I was a little confused by that ending.

That's pretty good I guess, I was pretty irritated how Discovery had technology that clearly the Borg did not even possess by the 27th century, so it respects the timeline even if the explantion was a little out there.

Anybody here ever been to Star Trek Las Vegas? I've never seriously thought about going but my girlfriend floated the idea to me this summer, and if she's in I'm in.

I went there for the 50th anniversary, it was amazing.

Hopefully in a week or two we'll get a pre-season tease like Discovery has had.

Star Trek Online managed to get Jason Issacs... Wow. https://www.pcgamer.com/star-trek-onlines-rise-of-discovery-update-brings-back-captain-lorca/

I still don't get why STO's humans sometimes look like complete ass, and sometimes look amazing, but never in between...... Lorca looks like complete ass.

Now that Discovery is over 900 years in the future, I hope we'll have a chance to see Cardassians and Borg. I wonder who they could use to recast the Borg Queen.

I just started watching trek at all at tng. I really like the guy who takes Data's place when he leaves and moves when data gets back.

Please, no more Borg. They're done.

I think if they take the STO Route, or expand on Drone (Borg One of One) had have the borg become a more benevolent force it could be pretty cool. Sto calling them the Borg Cooperative and having them possibly join a version of the federation in the future

That's still a very small chunk of the Borg, the Collective is alive and well at the time of STO. The one thing I think STO gets most wrong about the Borg is how quickly they become a threat again - it only takes them about 35 years to come back in force. Future!Janeway blowing up the Unicomplex and destroying their transwarp network in Endgame probably fucked up the Borg's whole operation for a while - I'd guess they'd spend a long, long time recuperating before trying to expand again, but by the 3100s they're almost certainly active again, at least within the Delta Quadrant.

The novels had the Borg come back even faster than STO did, like 5 years or something.

The loss of the Queen isn't the thing that I think crippled them, but the total destruction of their biggest piece of infrastructure, the transwarp network. It should take them 35-70 years just to fly back to the Alpha Quadrant, let alone with any sort of organized, rebuilt infrastructure to support them.
