Star Trek

I'm probably going to PlanetComicon in KC because some of my friends are going, and I noticed a couple of celebrities have been involved in Trek comics!

I've been meaning to start reading some comics but keep putting it off because the amount of series to choose from is a bit overwhelming for me. I suppose now is a better time to start never!

Is anyone here president of Paramount?

Everyone who has Netflix — or wants to sign up — be sure to watch all 20 episodes of STAR TREK: PRODIGY when it drops on Christmas Day! The more who watch all of them in the first few weeks, the better.

If enough people do so, who knows what the future holds… 🖖

With the imminent return of Prodigy, it's time to figure out where it will be found.

"That's easy," I hear you say. "Netflix!"

But we all know it's never that easy, don't we? Here's what we know so far:

Canada: CTV.ca and the CTV App.

France: France Télévisions channels and Okoo.

Iceland: Sjonvarp Simans Premium.

The Nordics, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Central and Eastern Europe: SkyShowtime.

Everywhere else: Netflix, I guess?

When in doubt, this link will hopefully lead you to accurate information.

Somehow got my S.O. into Star Trek with Strange New Worlds. Yay! Great show.

It actually introduced and developed an interesting new species over time. I don't think we've seen that since the Kelpians?

Plus the villains were competent, which is a nice benefit

Riker himself told us how Star Trek: Resurgence reminded him of storyboards he's worked on during Star Trek productions! Check out the game and see that classic Star Trek authenticity in action!

I recently watched Star Trek: The Next Generation and in Season 1 Episode 11 he gets offered a cigarette and takes it, for me indicating that he would smoke. Even though he coughs after pulling once. is it just to fit in to the character of dixon hill or the actor or is it picard as a character?

The critical anthology ‘Star Trek: Essays Exploring the Final Frontier,’ edited by Amy H. Sturgis and Emily Strand, will surprise and inform readers from beginning to end. In the foreword, science fiction scholar and novelist Una McCormack asks, “Why ‘Star Trek’?” These essays answer that question over and over again with original perspectives, scholarly research, and thorough analysis of the ‘Star Trek’ media universe. Divided into three sections, “Exploring the Series and Films,” “Exploring the Ideas,” and “Exploring the Multimedia Storytelling,” this collection features deep dives into characters like Jonathan Archer and Seven of Nine, as well as broader investigations of the political, imperial, ecological, and linguistic systems at work on the futuristic Final Frontier. The essays range widely in content, from discussions of ancient Greece and Rome in the ‘Original Series’ and conspiracy theories in ‘Voyager,’ to series-wide studies of the creation of fictional languages and the consequences of imagining a future with infinite energy resources. Despite its range and variety, the anthology provides a rich, coherent understanding of how the series’ creators, writers, actors and fans have worked together to develop the most popular and challenging speculative fiction series of our era. Ultimately, and in the best tradition of science fiction, these critical essays on ‘Star Trek’ provide insight not only into this franchise but into our present, very human selves—our struggles, our prejudices, and our dreams.

I'm not really clear on why the turbolift would fall in the first place... Is that a gravity plating thing? I guess gravity plating must work without power?

Also Picard knew it was going to fall... are we to infer he'd rather be pancaked than spend another moment with those kids?

Be sure to watch or rewatch as soon as it drops on Netflix! Those early viewership numbers are key.
