Star Trek: Discovery

[mwgdrwg]

The Doctor episodes are the best episodes.

Except that Unimatrix Zero shit. And the whole backstory of Seven's parents spending months tracking the Borg in a space VW van - with their daughter in the fucking back seat.

This is true.

 

[DotCommunist]

yes the idea of rogue scientists tracking the fucking bor of all species was a little farfetched, I mean its trek you take a lot on faith but everyone knew exactly how dangerous the borg were.

 

[Pseudopsycho]

Best thing in voyager and even they were fucked with in later seasons

So it's really a long time in the past? (Compared with TOS). Not sure how that works with Earth history, tbh. I'm going to have to watch the Savage Curtain to see how long before TOS Surak was. When Kirk met him and Abe Lincoln in the 2260s he was an historical figure. And the first real interstellar flights I can remember are Khan's suspended animation war criminals from the 1990s Genetics Wars. So this "Enterprise" time line for Surak needs to between the those two events, surely?

Enterprise is between the future history shown in the film First Contact and Kirk. Surak is thousands of years ago when the Vulcans first rejected their aggressive violent natures and embraced logic. Those who couldn't get on board with this change and Surak's philosophy fucked off to Romulus.

They were pretty much the only people in the Federation who knew about the Borg. Despite the collective looking post First Contact the Flashbacks were set something like 18 years before the rest of the episode. As this was a season 4 (Raven?) or maybe season 5 (Dark frontier?) episode it only a about ten/eleven years after the neutral zone attacks and Q bumping Picard into the Borg initiating the Federations first official contact with the Borg.

Their last episode was basically them planning to infiltrate and destroy the federation even building a replica Starfleet Academy and assuming human form as part of their nefarious plot. Luckily Voyager had the one weapon capable of stopping them. A few smiles from a Boothby replica and Janeway hands it over. They never reappear though. Perhaps there was someone from 31 aboard who modified the weapon slightly!

Correct!
I'm almost glad he wasn't played by David Cross.

Troi started wearing Starfleet uniform because she decided to undertake command training - basically "officer school". 2nd to last series, IIRC.

She was already a LC, somehow. Troi, the same rank as Data Her rank pisses me off more than O'Brien's on DS9 -you know, where everyone takes orders from the chief petty officer At least with 7of9, Torres questions why people take orders from her.

I hate Troi, just so you know. More so than Janeway, Dr Crusher or Neelix.

So let me get this straight, you hate:

Troi - a woman.
Janeway - a woman.
Dr Crusher - a woman
Neelix - a weird alien nonce twat.

Son, how do you feel about your mother?

TBF, with 7 of 9 standing there in her skin tight jumpsuit, looking a bit like a dominatrix at a fetish convention, I think I'd pretty much have done anything she asked me....

Indeed. But I may have misunderstood what you were saying about what this meant about when Enterprise was supposed to be set.

Haven't seen First Contact, only TOS, TAS, and the TOS films.

You haven't seen First Contact? What's wrong with you?! It's one of the best Trek films ever!

It's not Star Trek, but based on this other programme the TV company made.

Why the fuck put it on Netflix?? That means I won't be able to watch it (legitimately).

netflix are the money here apparently. CBS just wants broadcast america and canada rights but took loads of cash from netflix for the worldwide rights. Maybe its time to bite the bullet and join netflix? its good value for money given all the other things on there.

I don't need Netflix. We have Sky. I'm not taking out a subscription just for one programme.

yeah I can see yer logic. Have to wait for the DVD I spose

 

[dylanredefined]

doing re-shoots for Star Wars Rogue 1 as well, because the vader battlefield scenes were too raw for disney. Better not be delayed as well.

still, with Trek: Discovery they did say the delay is because they wanted to get it absolutely perfect so I can take that. Better a delay for quality than shoddy product

I can Just say fuck rogue one (mainly because another squadron got to play extras in it not me)

rebel scum or glorious 501st?

 

[dylanredefined]

Don't know sworn to secrecy about the whole thing apart from saying it was really fun and cool the smug bastards. Played ground crew so pretended to refuel starfighters wouldn't say if they were ties or x wings though.

Once it's out you could sign up for a free trial and then cancel. You can only do that once though .

Cancel Sky and get Netflix & Amazon instead.

Bashir?

Bashir?

my first thought but I doubt it. mthere is eant to be an openly gay character on this series as well, still no word on who the lead is tho.

 

[mwgdrwg]

I think I've hit a new Trek low. I found myself absent-mindedly googling 'best janeway haircut'.

Isn't Sulu supposed to be gay in the new film? Still haven't seen it...
