millennium October 30, 2018 Share October 30, 2018 Star Trek continues its slow spiral into meaninglessness even as corporations cannibalize the corpse. The same thing has happened to Batman. It's hard to watch characters and series emblematic of my youth be carved up and sold off. 3 Link to comment
ketose October 30, 2018 Share October 30, 2018 It's amazing how well-written and professional "Star Trek: The Animated Series" from the 70's will look by comparison. 1 3 Link to comment

millennium November 2, 2018 Share November 2, 2018 (edited) Call me a snob, but I don't remember Star Trek ever trying to appeal to the lowbrow segment of the population (and yeah, I consider adult cartoon series lowbrow). Every Trek incarnation has celebrated the improvement of the human condition by the advancement of intellect, compassion, good will and high moral values. Without those elements, it's not really Star Trek. Edited November 3, 2018 by millennium 1 Link to comment

I think I will skip animated Trek. There is a trailer out for that. Of course, not everyone is crazy about a show which some think will make Picard a side character in his own show. I'm curious if Seven of Nine and B4/Data will really be there or just hallucinations. There have also been rumors of issues on the production side of things. I'm definitely skipping Lower Decks.

ketose July 28, 2019 Share July 28, 2019 Ugh. Anything associated with "Rick and Morty" already indicates that it won't take Trek history or canon seriously. Plus, this is an ANIMATED show. Why is everyone human or biped? You can make characters look like spiders or blobs or gaseous clouds. The Orville has a blob and their budget is minimal. 1 Link to comment

Beckett Mariner) and Jack Quaid (Ens. Brad Boimler) will make an appearance as their characters. I'm intrigued by the idea of the Lower Decks gang on Strange New Worlds. It's going to have to be a time travel episode. According to Memory Alpha, SNW season one takes place in 2259, and LD seasons one and two take place in 2380 and 2381. That 120 year difference makes it tough for the characters to interact, without using time travel (or a holodeck adventure). It sounds like a Lower Decks version of Trials and Tribble-ations! 1 1 Link to comment
