Apparently he's also the Antichrist! He's quite a busy man.

At my school the rumor was about Jon Bon Jovi.

Yeah, the mini-skirts and go-go boots were obviously never practical, and now they look like retro kitsch. But at least the Kelvin uniforms are somewhat reminiscent of the TOS uniforms, and don't call too much attention to themselves. These Discovery uniforms look like the ones from the Enterprise series with Capt.…

Sonoma, or Napa (if you care to specify)? I'm in Santa Rosa myself.

"Those hoity-toity Vulcans think they're so smart, with their 'logic' and 'interstellar diplomatic protocol' - I'll show them!"

I can't remember its title, but there was a TNG episode in which Picard & Co witness a humanoid species at least as advanced as the Federation begin evolving into mystical energy beings on a higher plane of existence - almost like sublimation from the Iain Banks Culture novels. Their government is trying to suppress…

Same reason why every NFL team today looks like they're wearing knockoffs of Oakland Raiders uniforms: they think it makes everything look grimdark and gritty and ex-treme.

"This is a rebellion isn't it? I rebel."

I smell a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.

They could have updated the pilot episode uniforms, and given the show a nice clean retro look - I think they were silver sparkly shirts with black trousers? It would have fit into canon much better. These uniforms look too much like the ones from the Captain Archer NX era.

The ship and uniform designs are one of the better things about the mostly dire reboot movies.

Tell me about it. No facial hair whatsoever? Weird baroque armor? They look like Emperor Ming from the 1980 Flash Gordon movie, or maybe an off-brand knockoff of aliens from the Stargate franchise.

If that alien Starfleet officer with the weird textured face is a main character, viewers are going to get sick of looking at that latex mask and the actor is gonna get really sick of wearing it.

Amazing. Why would YouTube even go along with that? Is that standard procedure? YouTube comments are of course a notorious cesspool, so clearly they don't care about moderating in any ordinary sense. Posting "lol this new series is gonna blow" doesn't infringe on any IP or break any law, so why would Google even…

"Never give up, never surrender!" - Han Solo

Unfortunately the whole counterfactual or alternate history genre suffers from a tendency towards bad writing, cardboard characters, and dialogue or exposition serving as a clumsy mouthpiece for an author's actual (and often odd) views. The strength is usually in the background research and world-building. I admit…

First one is Stroke 9. Boy are those guys forgotten, even by one hit wonder standards.

Most of those nu-metal bands had dumb non-clever misspelled names.

Midnight Sun Panty Peeler.

"that'd require someone in Hollywood to take a chance on an animated show that was not "for kids", which apparently isn't done anymore."
