@kirwan i do like they seem to be taking a similar approach to Discovery approach of each season being a different arc rather than too episodic
Which is a mistake for ST IMO. Strange New Worlds is supposed to be episodic and they'll be able to take more risks. Problem with a season arc is if it sucks, the season sucks.
Previous Start Treks had good episodes and shit episodes, and not everybody agreed which was which.
all very true, i really enjoyed Discovery and how different each season was but i can get how if that arc isn;t your cup of tea then the whole season is a write off

Fun getting old.
I truly hope you're being ironic. Otherwise wait a decade or two.
I just found Q's interventions particularly cumbersome.
they did do a good job of making you want to punch him though which was one part achieved

Oh no, getting old is not a process I'm enjoying at all.

Won't be watching this one either. Looks awful. Picard can barely breath.
i mean picard and patrick stewart are both old...super old...would it not be weirder to see him running around?

@kiwiwomble Nice shot from the season three TNG episode The Hunted.

My favourite bit is look of utter confusion on Carrie, Mark and George’s faces.
George has the most unexpressive face, you could clearly tell he was enjoying it but his face barely registered it.
To be fair it goes with his writing. I've read one or two of his sc fi books and I'm not going to get those hours back.

The writer/creator of Band of Brothers pitched a three film series about the romulan war. It was optioned and pushed, he wrote the first script, and then management changed at Paramount and the project was dropped.
Get ready to go inside the unmade prequel movie, STAR TREK: THE BEGINNING, written by Band of Brothers writer ERIK JENDRESEN, which would have been a sequel to ENTERPRISE and a prequel to the original series telling the story of the Earth-Romulan War. Jendresen reveals the true story behind the first film in a planned trilogy of original #StarTrek movies that came tantilizingly close to being made and why it never happened. Also joining the Treksperts is screenwriter ASHLEY E. MILLER (Thor, X-Men: First Class) and director and pop culture commentator ROBERT MEYER BURNETT (The Burnettwork).

@tim based just on the premise i would watch that, in a lot of way i feel we're past big concept plots all getting wrapped up in 90-120 minutes, three movies made at the same time so they all look the same etc would be awesome, proper space battles in 3 dimensions

i replied before i had read the quote, i watched Enterprise last year, dated more than i would have thought production wise...but, it dd a lot of world building, went into things like shipping and trade routes, which doesn;t sounds exciting but was good at showing not everyone cruised around at warp 10, their were people on multi year cargo routes, or they had ships that just stayed in our solarsystem, one episode had the enterprise being chased back to earth so it could get backup, and these fast heavily armed ships were a big deal...and so how they then went on to an intergalactic war could be very interesting
-
@kiwiwomble I think in the 1st movie they would use an experimental high warp ship to attack Romulus, and then in the 2nd they would be behind enemy lines with a one year low warp journey back to earth. Odyssey inspired.

Looks like NZ is not getting Discovery for a while

@stockcar86 well that’s a way to turn off fans.
Looks like I’ll be using alternative means for Strange New Worlds early next year.
As for Disco, don’t care enough to source that.
