I like Star Trek V. Sure it's not the best, but it's a fun, campy movie. It's basically a two hour TOS episode. The crew gets brainwashed and Kirk fights a powerful energy creature. That happened at least half a dozen times in TOS.

The premise of V isn't bad, and actually with a better script could have been good. I rewatched it late last year and I don't hate it as much as I did when I was younger. There are bright points in there.
ID has the same worth has nemesis pretty much none whatsoever lol the only ''good'' thing about them is the space scenes
Oh, I have a soft spot for it as well. It can be quite stupid at times, but it has some of the best Kirk/Spock/McCoy scenes in the series, Luckinbill is wrongfully shat upon as Sybok (he's actually quite good), and some of the scenes are particularly well shot, like the slow motion approach through the desert at the beginning. I certainly rank it above NEM and ID as a Star Trek movie as well as *whispering*…Star Trek 09. Yeah, I said it!
The scene where McCoy relives the trauma of shutting off his father's life support only to have a cure discovered not long after is also an amazing scene. Might just be the best character moment McCoy ever had.
Prodigy will be moving to Paramount+ instead of Nickelodeon. First look at bridge crew
Inside the ‘Star Trek’ Universe of New Shows and Kids’ Fare on Paramount Plus
The "Star Trek" Universe will make its permanent home on streamer Paramount Plus, including the animated kids series "Star Trek: Prodigy."

Honestly, I can respect that, given how Nick can be restrictive with content release schedules
Though man, I didn't realise this would be from the Trollhunters people. That's both assuring (and man, look at some of those designs), but also... ironic, in a sad way

Terrible.
It's by the two people from Trollhunters so that's promsing.
Will Paramount + have the trek films as well? Going throught the series and i'm almost done with ToS and want to start the films.
It's a kid's show.

Honestly, I'm wondering what people wanted. It's very weird, but also, I probably wasn't watching it. Much like I don't watch much of Nickelodeon's shows.
Do any of you?
Probably not. I don't even watch Power Rangers on Nick, and I'm into Super Sentai.
I don't know what that is. Those characters look like rejects from a shitty Star Wars cartoon. Not Star Trek.
On the flip side, at least it's a Star Trek show that has gone past the human-looking aliens. Even if there's a canon reason for that to be the case. lol
No humans, interesting. I'll watch it just to see what it's like but it's obviously not for me
I'll check it out at least. It could be Clone Wars(which I loved), or it could be Resistance (which I couldn't get into as much as I tried). I mean…I survived season 1 of Picard, so I can take a lot!
Well the designs are certainly... interesting don't really like them but hey no human so that's a plus

I think the eyebrow raising part of this picture is that there is nothing that reads as Trek in it. Maybe that's the point? All we really know about it is that they find a ship and go on adventures. My guess is that this might be set in the distant future and Janeway is a holographic mentor to them. It could be set in a different galaxy for all we know.
season 1 and 2 of TNG are just awful, they are currently airing on BBC America and I just can't have it on even in the background
They're still better than anything that's been made in the last 10 years.
Yeah, did a rewatch and I'm convinced folks have no revisited them in a very long time. The partner got through Disco s1 and s2 fine, but that first season of TNG was a struggle. The same is true with about half of the first season of DS9.
not even close, While I have issues with Disco and Picard, I enjoy them far more than most anything from those two seasons. And lower decks is far above them.
Yup, they don't hold up very well at all.
An Original Star Trek Movie Is Coming From Discovery's Kalinda Vazquez
Kalinda Vazquez, a producer and writer on Star Trek: Discovery, has been hired by Paramount to write a new original Star Trek movie. No story details yet, but J.J. Abrams will produce and the project will see her greatly expand her role in the franchise.
io9.gizmodo.com
I wish stuff like this wasn't reported as "a new Star Trek movie is coming" instead of "screenwriter has been hired to write a script which may be kicked around for a couple of years before Paramount decides whether to produce it or not".
Hey at least the music is generally way better, especially than any of the Berman era shows post TNG S3 :p
There are a couple of gems in the roughness
There are! And they set up relationships that pay off later.
S1 of TNG is pretty bad. I will say the early episodes of DS9 are at least watchable for the world building as they were trying to figure out the Bajorans and Cardassians.
Yeah, like I said, I think you still need to get through those bad episodes to get to the latter stuff, because many characters are setup in those earlier episodes. Like, the characterizations aren't quite there, but you appreciate how they change more if you know where they started.
I feel like S2 of TNG gets unfairly lumped in with S1. Sure, S1 is undeniably rough, but still vital viewing if you're really going into TNG with both feet. S2, OTOH, and I say this as someone who is actively rewatching this right now (just got to The Emissary!), is pretty damn good. There are a number of good to great episodes, and even the more middling ones have fun character moments that were much rarer in season 1. We just watched "Manhunt" last night, and even though that's a Lwaxanna Troi episode, there are a number of laugh out loud character moments…particularly the look on Riker's face when Troi tells Picard about her mother's condition.
So, I don't believe that TNG didn't "get good" until S3. It was already pretty damn good in S2.

S2 is uneven, with a number of false starts. There's some great stuff like "The Measure of a Man" and "Q Who" and it picks up about halfway through. Season 3 is where they really hit the stride.
I get what you're saying, but I still find S2 more enjoyable than most of S7. I don't see it as that uneven, really. After "The Child", you get "Where Silence Has Lease" and "Elementary, Dear Data", then a couple of episodes after that you get "Matter of Honor", "Measure of a Man" and "Contagion", and then once you hit "Time Squared" it pretty much rolls to the end with decent to great episodes from there on out. Well, until "Shades of Grey". Most shows wait until they've been on half a decade or more before their first clip show. TNG did it in two. Hooray…I guess? Lol
Yeah skip first and last episodes of season 2 but watch the rest. But season one has the good geordi before they turn him into a weirdass stalker, so don't just skip season one. Skip the worst episodes only.
Given that the look of the Borg is gonna depend on the technological advancement of the species they're assimilating, and a large part of that is gonna be at least somewhat random, maybe the reset timeline is enough to just make a few coins flip in different directions, thus the look. Or maybe the Kelvin-verse's faster/more militarized development rippled out far enough to effect the Borg.
Or maybe it's just a redesign for redesign's sake, lol. It looks good, imo.
I remember there being First Contact with the Borg in the IDW comics, set during the timeskip while the Enterprise A is getting built (with Kirk getting a temporary command of another ship). Maybe based off that?
Depends is the plan for this to be a Star Trek version of Clone Wars/ Rebels?
This pleases me. I can't wait to see the first footage that comes out.
