wait wasn't he just burred under a pile of rocks on that one planet, like an open air grave pretty much, he would have decomposed pretty fast, how the fuck did Borg tech revive a skeleton.
Shatner looks pretty damn good for fucking 87

Yeah tbh he could actually play the resurrected corpse of Kirk.
The books at large get pretty ridiculous. One time a Borg "supercube" ate Pluto. Not assimilated it, just rammed into it and ate it.
Borg gotta eat dude.
I'm not sure what to think about this news. I stayed as neutral as I possibly could before Discovery was unveiled and I was chronically disappointed with that (haven't even bothered to finish watching it, it's a real struggle). I can only hope that Patrick wouldn't be putting his time, name and reputation into a project like this unless he genuinely believed it was well written enough and certainly worthy enough of continuing the series he was so beloved for, for so long. I mean, he's not short for a dollar so at least we know he's not just doing it because he needs some spending money... got that going for it at least. But Kurtzman and CBS, eek, not sure what vibes I'm getting.
As before, gonna stay neutral until we can SEE something. God I hope this turns out good for a change.
Honestly I would LOVE to see Patrick go on Orville. Doesn't matter what capacity, what universe, what weird interdimensional crossover kerfudgery or whether he's Picard or not. He'd just have so much fun on that show I think.
Wasn't Stewart confirmed as appearing in season 2?
Wait, Star Trek fans are actually going with DSC?
I thought STD was the accepted abbreviation.
Wouldn't make sense since the abbreviation for every other show has never included "ST" in it.
TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, STD? If anything it should be DIS not DSC.
Oh, shit, I seriously thought the series always used STSomething
Though seeing TNG and DS9 kinda tells me I'm an idiot since I've seen those abbreviations hundreds of times.
I use DSC because it’s the official abbreviation. It’s even used on screen as the abbreviation of the ships name written on its shuttle craft.
but this makes me a hypocrite because the official abbreviation for Voyager is VGR
Stop.
I mean TNG found it's legs in the second season. A lot of TV shows do.
He may not, and I stress may not, be a captain anymore. He may not be the Jean-Luc that you recognize and know so well. It may be a very different individual. Someone who has been changed by his experiences. Twenty years will have past, which is more or less exactly the time between the very last movie – Nemesis – and today.

He wasn't kidding, he really has changed
??? I’m just stating an observation
Is Discovery just one of those things that you're "supposed" to hate on to maintain your internet cred, like post-S8 Simpsons or casual video games? Because I've heard nothing but good things about it from actual Trek fans I know in person, and I'm talking the "watched all five TV series front-to-back multiple times and binges Memory Alpha regularly" kind of Trek fans. I mean, people slagging off on something like Nemesis or pre-beard TNG I can understand, but this just feels like more of this "new blood" hate we've been seeing over the AOS films (which is BS because Beyond is right up there with First Contact as candidate for "best Trek movie", fight me) and even as far back as Enterprise.
I haven't seen it myself yet, but my brother adores it (and he's one of those "seen every series and binges the wiki" fans) and our whole family's planning to sit down and watch it together soon, being a major Trek household for decades.
I mean it's not the worst thing I've ever seen and I enjoyed my time with it, but it had a lot of problems, main problem being Michael Burnham being a completely dull character when compared to her compatriots, Discovery has a lot of strong side characters and I would honestly say she brings the show down in quality, it's not like normal Trek where it's more of an ensemble, this is mainly her story and tbh, her story is a bit trite, especially the part about her being the foster sister of a certain Vulcan, or the fact that it didn't "really" do the Klingon war arc all that well, to the point where it felt extremely rushed, or the fact that as a pre-TOS show everything that happened in it would have worked perfectly fine in any OTHER timeline, so it being a prequel was completely and totally worthless.
You shouldn’t care about your internet cred. So what you want
Oh don't get me wrong, if I actually cared about my internet cred over expressing my real tastes, I wouldn't expect to be labeled as a whiny contrarian in about half the gaming discussions I get into.
I'm just saying that hating Discovery seems to only be popular (at least among a vocal subset) because it's currently the "cool" thing to do at the moment.
People hate discovery because it's badly written and completely wastes the talents of the actors attached to it.
I disagree.
and many others disagree with you. i dont get where you have this "vocal minority" of people who dislike STD from. everyone ive met dislikes it and agree's that it doesnt deserve the Trek name
Because the show hasn’t been cancelled it, and they’re trusting Kurtzman to make more.
Seriously if the show was doung that badly why would they trust the current show runner with more shows?
Discovery's characters are mostly shite (they threw in with a thoroughly unlikable protag), all the Klingon stuff is super bland, the writing is real awkward at times, and the story doesn't do much that's interesting. And they're going for these big story arcs, which is fine, but can't come up with any coherent themes so all of those arcs seem pointless. The mirror universe stuff was great, it feels like they can handle ridiculous over the top intrigue and violence pretty well, but they forced themselves to make a Star trek show instead, and the moment things went back to normal the show felt dull as hell again.
Of course other Star trek shows have had bad early seasons so it could certainly turn around but what we've gotten so far is not very good.
because alex kurtzman (and robert orsi) have a knack for enhancing ideas. it sounds good in the pitch meeting, means it must be good. and just because a show isn't cancelled does not mean its actually good. how many genuinely good shows were canned for absolute trash that spans several seasons?
Its cannon that Picard goes on to be an admiral, I guess this is his journey to that position? Or what he does with his new station? If Data doesn't make an appearance I'll be sad.
Hopefully they take some notes from why The Orville worked better than Discovery
I think if they go with beta canon, Data will have been brought back through B-4 and will be captain of the Enterprise, I really hope they don't just leave him dead though, that would suck.
Agreed, I don't see a reason B-4's positronic brain couldn't be upgraded to get him to Data levels of functionality
No it isn't.
It actually was apparently, potentially even better from what I remember
