I thought I remembered a planet getting blown up at the beginning. Romulus gets destroyed in the Prime timeline at some point after Nemesis, despite efforts of Spock to save it. The destruction sends both Spock and Nemo back in time, which causes the Kelvin timeline. Its not difficult! 10 minutes ago, Ghostbusters II said: Abrams Trek is not canon.

Marian Schedenig 8,174 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Remember, it's only canon if it doesn't retcon stuff in a way that a significant subset of fans dislikes. The Last Jedi also shows us that it's not canon if it features strong women or minorities. Really, the only part of Trek that is canon is Code of Honor.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I saw him on Graham Norton recently and his age was pretty apparent. He was always an old baldie, so he's aged similarly to Sean Connery since the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible idea. I don't want to see them reinvent the D and maybe E using the design aesthetics of contemporary Star Trek (JJ-verse and STD), and claim it's a continuation of tech from twenty years ago. It doesn't fly. I want to finally see a post-Voyager Star Trek timeline that's not the ST Online franchise. 4 minutes ago, Marian Schedenig said: Oh, nothing against Pulaski! Although I don't mind Crusher in the later seasons. She had some great episodes in S2, and she had a sassy mouth to throw barbs at JLP. The actress was also delightful in TOS' Return to Tomorrow. We haven't gotten to Diana Muldaur's other episode yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 3 hours ago, Stefancos said: A common myth. Season 2 is already a vast improvement. I think they both get lumped in together often because Season 1 and 2 have this really weird and low-budget vibe that came from experimenting and finding what the playbook of the show would be. Stylistically, on a lot of fronts, they're definitely the odd ducks compared to Seasons 3-7 (although I personally feel that a lot of Season 7 fits tonally and quality-wise with 2, and, unfortunately, 1). And both of them to me have this sci-fi pulp short story kind of feel to them, like a story you would read if you picked up one of those crusty, goldenflower page, funny-smelling sci-fi anthology books from the '50s. But on a fundamental level, I agree with you that Season 2 was a jump up. It has some of my favorite episodes in the series, such as Q Who, Peak Performance, Measure of a Man, and that one where Riker does some culture study on the Klingon ship. Can't think of any highlights from the first one. 3 hours ago, Ghostbusters II said: Pulaski is underrated. When I first went through the series 6 years ago, I thought, "Yayyy, get the old lady off, bring back Crusher!" But as time progresses I understand more and more her appeal. Shame they totally dropped her ass and treated her like a sub for a gig, never once revisiting her in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 TNG S1&2 had some shitty sets and lame character designs, but I've always been more concerned with the stories which is where the real magic is. 15 hours ago, xWxzek said: Terrible idea.
