Fact of the matter is that this is a distant future to us, but the Original Series no longer looks the part. So they’ve gone out of their way to make it look like the future while adding little touches to remind you that this predates the Orignial Series. What would you rather they did, film it with painted plywood…

Wow, dude, chill your tits. I just meant the new names they have selected sounded a lot more like Vulcan names (T’Pol, T’Pring, T’Pau, T’Pel, T’Pan) than classic Klingon names (Worf, Kor, Duras, Lursa, Gowron, Martok, Koloth, Grilka), not necessarily the use of apostrophes - which I KNOW are used in Klingon. Also, the…

How does a post like this get 3 stars? Have you even watched Star Trek?

They’re Kirk-branded translators, they know how to pause functionality to add dramatic effect to a conversation. Q’apla!

Gonna be interesting to read about this Bruce Wayne:

Mother fuckers need to get over this chosen one bullshit.

I also hope we learn what happened to the skirts and skants, why the Starfleet uniforms have so many colors, and also the origin of the tribble. You know, the really important stuff that matters.

I am as needlessly hardcore geeky as it gets, but the powers at be at Star Trek should have flat out said, “They have ridges because now we can afford to do it. We couldn’t afford it before on the 60's show. That’s it. There will be no ‘in-story’ reason given and the difference between them will never be acknowledged.”

Know what I’d rather see? The Eugenics Wars. Wouldn’t necessarily have to be 100% focused on Khan.

Okay, let’s just call this show what it is:

One of the producers is Nicholas Meyer, and I’m relatively sure he’s seen a Trek movie or two.

Good news! Mitch Pileggi is returning to play Walter Skinner, according to Deadline.

Even if those who oppose having a female Doctor aren’t misogynist as they claim (they are), I don’t know if having such shitty capacity for imagination about your favorite speculative fiction is much better.
