Star Trek: Strange New Worlds [SPOILERS]

It's called a prediction.

Okay, that makes absolutely no fucking sense.

So was my second sentence, but I'll put more money on it than your horseshit.

IIRC, Orci is the one who has the most knowledge about Trek among the Bad Robot team and IIRC, he was against doing Khan in STID.

I've already bookmarked my prediction so we'll see who's full of shit or not. Of course we know they read message boards so they might make some last minute changes, but a lot will remain the same.

Dude, he wrote all the shit you put in your "prediction".

I think the guy giving himself an out within an hour of his prediction is possibly a tad more likely to be full of shit.

He's my last choice, but I think he's the better half of that writing duo. At least he knows the lore.

I think if more than half of my predictions come true, then I'm still in pretty good shape.

See? They were aboard the Enterprise!
I win!
I'm the winner!
*Hugs self, tears trickle out*
I'm the winner!!

I hope Chris Pine shows up as Kirk at the season finale!

Please don't let this one be terrible. I'll never ask Santa Claus for anything ever again.

Weird, that was supposed to be an article about Tom Cruise still doing Mission Impossible action sequences at 59. No one seems to complain about that.

Here's the thing: there are (presumably) at least three Star Trek series that you actively enjoy in TOS, TNG and DS9 with something like 300-400 hours of entertainment between them. There are on top of that tens of thousands of hours of good sci-fi, and hundreds of thousands of hours of other good programs.

Why waste time watching something you predict will be as bad as you think Strange New Worlds is?

Well, Akiva Goldsman is the showrunner. He's got a fairly decent track record, right?



RIGHT?!

I mean, there aren't *that* many Golden Raspberry nominations in there. And I for one was rather fond of the bat-nipples.

I do not speak for the ignored one, and I do not presume this is actually possible but there is one appropriate "old school" answer to that question:

Nicholas Myer.

Can't defend "The Last Knight" or "Batman & Robin" but "A Time to Kill" was FINE. To the extent you want to bitch about it, you'd have to bitch about the book it was based on.

I'm not sure you can draw a conclusion from a list that includes "A Beautiful Mind" and "Batman & Robin" just four years apart.

They already burned their bridges with him.
He was supposed to do a Space Seed/TWOK interquel miniseries, and they dragged their feet, and piled other things on the schedule, and his thing just kinda drifted away.
He's gotta be butt-hurt over it.
Gotta be.

Season 1 is a wrap.

Uhura!! Chapel!! M'Benga!

Video unavailable. Where can it be seen?

Variety has all the videos from Star Trek day in one place that hopefully won't be region-locked:

Nope, still locked.

If that's the one I think it is, the movie's closing arguments in the courtroom were vastly different than in the book. Mind you, I liked the movie's closing arguments better, but the book was much more realistic. So, there *is* a bit of room to bitch about the movie - if one were so inclined.

So glad Ethan Peck will pick up the role of Spock again. I'll watch it just for the eye candy even if the show does turn out to be terrible. ... which, it doesn't look like.

That cinches it. Fuck Paramount right in the ear. Apparently the dumb studio cocksuckers still haven't figured out that more than 50% of their revenue comes from outside the United States of America.

From this time forward, I'm watching all new Trek via

The fact that they took the time to dig through the pilot to choose certain characters gives me hope. Nimoy is Spock, but Peck did a good job so I’m okay with it.

...and upon reading this blessing from Federal Farmer, the Paramount executives all breathed a collective sigh of relief!
