It actually looks BETTER. I love the way SNW looks but if the whole show looked like the Jefferies tube (just like it used to but plus) I would figure out SOME way to move there. *swoon* There's a shot in the last episode where you finally get to see several decks into the JT. It feels stupid to say, but I've been waiting my whole life to see that. Damn. I might need to head to Ticonderoga sooner than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tallguy 3,477 Posted September 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2023 Happy Star Trek Day! I started the day with The Motion Picture. Partly just because that's where I left off last night with Hidden Information. So really, The Meld / A Good Start and End Titles. Then it was on to The Animated Series to celebrate the 50th Anniversary. What a treasure. Thank you Neil! I thought of hitting Subspace Rhapsody but went with Strange New Worlds season 1 instead. (That's some good stuff!) Not sure where the day will take me. I'm sure I'll play Charlie X at least once. I should dig up a Giacchino. The Search for Spock seems inevitable. It's a good day.

Gabriel Bezerra 308 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Something really weird I did that I have nowhere else to share it. It's in portuguese too, so I don't know exactly what I'm doing by posting it here. Might as well update you all. Currently on Hotel Royale from TNG, I shouldn't have looked up how far I was from finishing it everything... Why so many 7-season shows? But I'm enjoying it so far, Season 2 starts out with a really weird episode, but so far it hasn't reached the worst TOS had to offer, don't understand how someone would jump to Season 3 straight away in their first watch, as there are multiple important episodes (based on my own judgment of "importance"). Because my mother finds TNG a bit slow (the characters/reaction), we started Lower Decks too, so every monday it was two episodes of TNG and one or two of Lower Decks right after, though there was multiple references that left us confused, sometimes we had just watched the episode LD was referencing (we watched Skin of Evil right before Armus cameo in LD). Thought I connected with Mariner, Boimler, Tendi and Rutherford way faster then with anyone on the Enterprise-D crew, but Skin of Evil made me realise that maybe I cared way more than I realised... and then Polansky came aboard and started insulting Data every time she could and I hated her immediately, nobody touches Data! (Everybody touches Data...) Was their dynamic supposed to be reminiscent of McCoy and Spock? 'Cause I got annoyed by McCoy too, but to a lesser extent. Does Deep Space 9 happen concurrently to TNG? If so, when does it start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallguy 3,477 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 DS9 starts in Season 6. When you hear "There are four lights!" go watch DS9. (They don't overlap very much.) Yes, Pulaski and Data was supposed to be McCoy and Spock. But Spock was tough and Data isn't, so it lands wrong. Lower Decks is mostly a TNG show. When you're done you should go back and re-watch. Yes, you have SO MANY YEARS of TNG era Trek to watch. I watched all of DS9 recently. (First time for a lot of it.) It's a lot. Then Voyager. Someday I'll watch that and Enterprise. Heck, I haven't finished all of Discovery. Tom Guernsey and Gabriel Bezerra 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallguy 3,477 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Season 2 was when the show really started to turn around. Measure of a Man is decent contender for "When it started to get good". Heck, Arsenal of Freedom in season 1 wasn't terrible.

This has my vote as the single best episode of the franchise. It's a beautiful representation of everything Star Trek aspires to be, or at least used to - I can't imagine it getting written today. Stewart's performance is top-notch, and I always liked when they let Deanna be smart. Sirtis was underused on the show, but she has a nice moment at the start of this episode.

blondheim 1,157 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 It’s always dangerous when I have to wait a while for something to arrive in the mail, for example Hook. I always end up getting a little trigger happy and spendy. This time it was Star Trek. As of yesterday I only own Nemesis OST. I keep meaning to fix this and it keeps getting put off. Well I found an EBay deal for three OSTs for 18. Khan, Undiscovered Country and First Contact. Well, then it occurred to me that I have to get Insurrection so I at least have 8,9,10. So I bought that one for another 9. And I really should have Frontier as well. Now I’m just 1,3,4 and 7 away from owning all the original soundtrack releases. Well but then I couldn’t stop thinking about the newest remasterings of TMP and WOK we just got… so I bought those too from SAE. I am going to try to keep myself from buying more but one of these days Intrada is going to get a biiiig order from me with the complete 3,4,5 and 6 hitting the cart. I’m just hoping that day isn’t later today. Pray for me, JWFam Schilkeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
