Totally. I would like to see what he would make today, with his more (as he describes it) mature perspective.

I love how he said he wanted the “God” in Star Trek V to be literally God and was talked out of it. But it is interesting hearing his perspective on that process of directing too.

She has a good line around 21 minutes about Enterprise taking a step back when it came to progressive politics, she describes it as “going back to the culture of the original Star Trek [series], and not the concept of the original Star Trek” which I thought was really well said.

This is the first I’m hearing of her book, it looks good and I’ve always liked Nana’s willingness to speak out. I will have to check it out.

Thrall? That way people can use some of the quatloos we’ve been hoarding.

I said I would fight you and I will

Admiral Micheal Burhnam fight me

Also Robert H. Justman

Very cool!

Boimler’s facial hair project continues to get even more gross, the “growing the beard” joke that is for sure coming better be worth it!

That part cracked me up

If you remember enjoying Datalore I would advise you never watch it again. It definitely is important to watch from a lore (no pun intended) perspective, but it is actually extremely awkward lol

I think Discovery being modern and (mostly) a prequel is a good place to start. It also is a good into to SNW for obvious reasons.

Y’know we see so many old “fans” going out of their way to shit on the post-2005 stuff it’s nice to see people who got into it through the new shows!

FYI not to discourage others from commenting (because everyone has their own opinion) but there is a pretty comprehensive guide in the /c/StarTrek sidebar: https://wiki.startrek.website/books/cstartrek/page/the-cstartrek-where-should-i-start-guide

Alex Kurtzman ran for mayor of my town just to make it illegal for me to watch TNG :(

There’s no evidence it’s not! First Contact was a TNG movie after all.

LOL I would love if a new Trek film comes out and it’s just some extremely esoteric avant-garde production.

Give me Warhol’s “Empire” but it’s just an extended 8 hour cut of the flyby scene in TMP.

my god man who hurt you

I knew she was in the episode going in but was surprised it was such a brief part!
