Yes! I’m so excited.

Yeah, I find this classification of WoT as being feminist or matriarchal just kind of a weird misunderstanding of the text.

Still my favorite James Horner score.

I’m gonna be that person.

He’s my favorite character on PoI and I’m having to work REALLY, REALLY HARD not to let his *ahem* politics color the show.

I mean, I’m glad he said it...but we all know this is exactly what’s going to happen. And then in 5-7 years, we’ll hear complaints from WB execs scratching their heads wondering why they just had a series of toy-based movies that flopped.

Yes, but the important thing is that Sandra Bullock finally got her Oscar.

And yet TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT all began their runs with entirely new casts (with the exception of O’Brien) that had almost no direct ties to their predecessors.

Captain Seven + Raffi, Jack, LaForge Sisters wouldn’t really be newbies. And Matalas has been pretty clear with his intentions about revisiting established parts of the Trek universe. The show he has in mind is even called Legacy.

I agree. SNW is great, but with the limited number of episodes + commitment to episodic format, there aren’t going to be any radical paradigm shifts.

Even though I don’t agree with all of them, I think your opinions are incredibly valid.

Poor Ortegas is never going to go on another away mission after this.

You can’t really hold the Writer’s Strike against the show, since they wrote and shot the whole thing a year ago. And given that the streaming era often consists of shows disappearing for years at a time, I can’t imagine the hype from this season won’t carry over to third season, even if it takes a while.

On the other hand, the Anakin vs. Gorn Younglings memes practically write themselves.

maybe in place of a separate timeline this is just a modified version of the TOS era that’s still close to what happened the first time around

Marie. We learned it last week.

My concern isn’t continuity or canon. I honestly don’t much care about either of those.

Yeah, Star Trek fans have long ago learned to embrace the fact that a lot of its material is terrible. There’s also just a ton of content thru Roddenberry/Berman era that has aged...questionably when viewed through a more modern lens (not just the social politics, but even technology, realism, and coherent…
