For a split second I panicked thinking this meant that Williams had passed away...

It is without a doubt one of the most underrated shows of the 21st century, if not ever.

Oh yeah, I’m aware of those reasons. But at the same time, in the first couple seasons - before it started leaning hard into the near-future speculative fiction AI stuff - it had massive ratings. Nolan himself said they constructed it that way so they could start building more serialized and subversive material in the

Star Trek has always been at its strongest and most popular when it wasn’t exclusive and difficult to watch

I’ve wondered if the insistence on making NuTrek streaming is due not only to them wanting to use it to launch Paramount+, but also because it’s a struggle for them to get the right fans watching CBS. Like Supergirl, which lasted only a season before transferring over the CW. Or Person of Interest, which they

“Holland lacks rogue-ish charm” is the best description I’ve ever seen for why he was a terrible pick for Nathan Drake.

I dunno...Spock’s outburst was a bit over the top, imo.

Aw. For all that I struggled to get into the show, I’m really sad to hear this. :(

After all the projects they cancelled (especially Batgirl) and essentially killing off any and every other Snyder-verse adjacent film/potential film, only to double down on this one, even with the Ezra Miller of it all, if this turns out to be a bomb for WB, I’m pulling out all the Nelson Muntz Ha Ha memes I can find.

This week’s SNW was excellent. And Drumhead is one of my favorite TNG episodes.

I would also make the case that TOS often argued humanity couldn’t exist in any kind of paradise without losing what makes us fundamentally human. So ‘utopia’ can both be subjective, and perhaps somewhat unrealistic.

Okay, but I can’t believe a word that comes out of this man’s mouth.

I really enjoyed this episode. I know there’s often been a diversion of thought among the fandom as to whether or not the Federation is a utopia, or one that’s still in aspiring to that ideal. And I’ve always leaned far more toward the latter for a number of reasons. Also, I think using this topic to demonstrate how

Oh yeah they have tons of options. His return would be a piece of cake. And given the impact of the character on the fandom, he would be ideal to lead a new series. Preferably something in the 25th century with the Titan off having adventures of its own.

Oh please stop. Just stop. TNG has ended. It has had a gazillion farewells. Just stop! You already had TWO different sendoffs featuring the noble adventures of the Enterprise-D ending in the cast sitting around playing poker. When will it EVER be enough for these people??

To be fair, going against direct orders from an Admiral, stealing a ship and taking it behind enemy lines, turning out to be justified in the effort, and then getting little more than a slap on the wrist from higher powers, is practically a Star Trek tradition.

Right now I don’t really care about the logistics. I’d just prefer they went more the route of The Good Place (remember ‘Chidi’s Choice’?) where they bypass the entire silly love triangle, have the women become friends, ditch the man, and let everyone move on.

I would love if they just killed the whole love triangle by having Chapel and T’Pring become friends. It would be such a refreshing change of pace, and do so much more for all three characters involved.

The Spock-Chapel romance tension is similarly doing a disservice to her character as well. Instead of expanding on the very little we got from TOS, and playing more into the hints we’ve gotten about her own prodigious career, her most significant story material has been about being in love with Spock.
