Half ass would describe just about everything out of Paramount lately. Hard to say it’s amazing they dropped the ball on Star Trek when dropping the ball is all they know how to do any more.

The series references a lot of classic cinema. Like in episode 3 when the kids need to drag the dead alien around so people don't know he's dead and they can still enjoy his beach house for the weekend.

I can’t prove you wrong or right at this point, but all I will say is that when they announced the relaunch of Doctor Who I felt very much the same as this about that show. I felt it had been too long, and that no one outside of die hard fans would care. Fans who would likely be disappointed by the return.

There is no…

I am now imagining Star Trek Land at Disneyworld and all the awesomeness that would entail.

In terms of broad public/cultural appeal, I’d say that Star Trek peaked back in 1994 when TNG went off the air. After that, it slowly shifted back to being a “niche” franchise until the Kelvin timeline reboot.

Damn son, you’re all caught up in the bullshit. Just grab a burner and some prepaid data, and don’t let them take advantage of you like that.

It’s a damn shame. Damn shame.

- Cap’n we’re having a transporter malfunction and — who annae blue devil are those people?

“If you are planning to go see Star Trek Beyond, Simon suggests you avoid all TV Spots and trailers from this point forward.”

I’ve been JOYFULLY commenting on all the Star Trek posts all week but the truth is I feel the franchise — to a certain extent — is done.

Star Trek is a business to CBS and Paramount, one which needs new blood to print the money.

As I recall, much of the Beyond marketing material even failed to include the words “Star Trek.”

Haven’t read it yet? Some prp you are

Or changed it to The Show of Strange New Things

Yeah, that was my first thought. The Sparrow was about the Catholic church funding a mission to investigate the source of a radio signal in space and one of the main characters is a Jesuit priest. I guess this description is vague enough that it could be totally different despite obvious similarities. But hell, if we…

Meanwhile, Hulu is coming out with a new show called “Pretty Weird Stuff” that is about a bunch of 90's kids in New Jersey finding a dead alien behind a Wawa and then bragging about it to everyone they know over the next eight episodes.

Rob steps out of a portal on the field of battle, chaos all around. Dragons soar overhead, White Walker armies march on the burning cities. Behind him, the now 20 year old Eleven emerges, floating above the ground, energy bolts crackling in all directions, wearing a Dark Phoenix outfit (it was Dustin’s idea).

How’s that worked out the last almost 8 years - why hasnt the Democrat helped any? This isn’t political - this is greed.

How? Stop electing Republicans.
