I’m sorry. I take it all back. After trying to inflict another episode of Voyager upon myself I’m sorry I ever called ST: Picard “slow”. I tried to watch the episode Prototype. This one:
Christ. That’s a ST:TOS looking robot right there. Couldn’t actually get through it. Turned it off as something mildy exciting happened ad i just didn’t give a shit anymore.
I may have to reassess whether or not I’m going to try watching the whole 7 seasons. I may have to try and find a “essential Voyager” list.

No. I think Kirk’s story is pretty well played out at this point.
I bet Shatner’s holding out for the big-screen T.J. Hooker remake. It’s the smart move.

How desperate would the streaming wars need to get for the launch of Star Trek: Harry Kim?

Episode 1, in which Harry Kim categorises his collection of paper clips while Neelix is repeatedly kicked in the balls.

I think they’re still doing post-production work on DSC, so it will probably be delayed until Hollywood resumes production.

Well it’s happening, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, about Captain Pike’s Enterprise starring Anson Mount, Rebecca Romjin, and Ethan Peck.

This makes me happy.
Of note, took less than a minute to get into a text argument with a friend over it.
I love the guy, but how sad for him that I’m always right. heh!I guess this means the numbers on the other shows are good, real good.
Good for Trek finding something that works (because honestly few of the movies worked and people figured that out).1 user thanked author for this post.

That’s a bit odd. I assumed it would be back way before now. We’re getting to the point where it will have effectively skipped an entire year.

So a search for when Discovery season 3 will air only produces “sometime in 2020” results.
So here’s a couple of links:
and I do remember Dutch from The Shield was from the 29th Century…In the trailers for Discovery Season 3, Burnham meets Book (David Ajala), a human of the 32nd century, or roughly 3187.
…we’ve never met the actual chief engineer of the Discovery, which begs the question: Will it now be Reno?
The second question is a little more interesting. Because Reno looked into the time crystal, perhaps she locked Discovery into a specific future…I’d kinda forgotten that. Maybe a re-watch is in order
The six-starred Federation flag seems to indicate that the galactic alliance collapsed, leaving only a handful of member worlds left to carry on. If that’s indeed the case, the cause of the Federation’s fall (perhaps exacerbated by the absence of Starfleet as its defender) is something every Trekker needs to know. Further, the arrival of Michael Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery in the 32nd century could be the spark that reignites the flame of the Federation.

Sounds like they could use the help of Captain Dylan Hunt.

CBS could be making James T. Kirk bisexual in ST: Strange New Worlds
It seems quite in character for him to hump anything that moves and most things that don’t.
But I’m mostly going of the memes and jokes about him. I hardly remember any of the OG Star Trek. Basically just the movies and the tribbles.

Kirk isn’t quite as anything that moves as the jokes suggest, but I’m fine with him getting bi. The pissbabies complaining will be hilarious.

If you want to take the original creator’s intent as canon (and of course there’s no reason why you should), then there’s a lengthy footnote in the novelization of The Motion Picture that clearly explains that Kirk is attracted exclusively to females.

If we do that, then someone can argue that we need to take his lengthy dissertations on the sex lives of the Ferengi that he’d recite seemingly at random on the set of TNG as canon. Which I’m not necessarily against, but… you know….

It’d be even more fun to see a young Kirk cut loose in the era of androids and holodecks. He’d be control, alt, deleting his way across the galaxy.

47 Things That Never Happen on Star Trek
Written by UnknownThe Enterprise runs into a mysterious energy field of a type that it has encountered several times before.
The Enterprise goes to check up on a remote outpost of scientists, who are all perfectly all right.
The Enterprise comes across a Garden-of-Eden-like planet called Paradise, where everyone is happy all the time. However, everything is soon revealed to be exactly as it seems.
The crew of the Enterprise discover a totally new lifeform, which later turns out to be a rather well-known old lifeform, wearing a silly hat.
The crew of the Enterprise are struck by a strange alien plague, for which the cure is found in the well-stocked sickbay.
An enigmatic being composed of pure energy attempts to interface to the Enterprise’s computer, only to find out that it has forgotten to bring the right leads.
A power surge on the Bridge is rapidly and correctly diagnosed as a faulty capacitor by the highly-trained and competent engineering staff.
A power surge on the Bridge is fails to electrocute the user of a computer panel, due to a highly sophisticated 24th century surge-protection feature called a “fuse.”
The Enterprise ferries an alien VIP from one place to another without serious incident.
The Enterprise is captured by a vastly superior alien intelligence which does not put them on trial.
The Enterprise separates as soon as there is any danger.
The Enterprise gets involved in an enigmatic, stange, and dangerous situation, and there are no pesky aliens they can blame it on in the end.
The Enterprise is captured by a vastly inferior alien intelligence, which they easily pacify by offering it some sweeties.
The Enterprise is involved in a bizarre time-warp phenomenon, which is in no way connected with the 20th century.
Somebody takes out a shuttle and it doesn’t explode or crash.
A major Starfleet emergency breaks out near the Enterprise, but fortunately some other ships in the area are able to deal with it to everyone’s satisfaction.
The shields on the Enterprise stay up during a battle.
The Enterprise visits the Klingon Homeworld on a bright, sunny day.
An attempt at undermining the Klingon-Federation alliance is discovered without anyone noting that such an attempt, if successful, “would represent a fundamental shift of power throughout the quadrant.”
A major character spends the entire episode in the Holodeck without a single malfunction trapping him/her there.
Picard hears the door chime and doesn’t bother to say “Come.”
Picard doesn’t answer a suggestion with “Make it so”!
Picard walks up to the replicator and says, “Coke on ice.”
Counsellor Troi states something other than the blindingly obvious.
Mood rings come back in style, jeopardizing Counselor Troi’s position.
Worf and Troi finally decide to get married, only to have Kate Pulaski show up and disrupt the wedding by shouting, “Did he read you love poetry?! Did he serve you poisonous tea?! He’s mine!”
When Worf tells the bridge officers that something is entering visual range no one says “On screen.”
Worf actually gives another vessel more than two seconds to respond to one of the Enterprise’s hails.
Worf kills Wesley by mistake in the holodeck. (Pity this wasn’t done in “Cause and Effect” then we could have seen it five times without rewinding the tape!)
Wesley Crusher gets beaten up by his classmates for being a smarmy git, and consequently has a go at making some friends of his own age for a change.
Wesley saves the ship, the Federation, and the Universe as we know it, and everyone is grateful (including the ’Net).
The warp engines start playing up a bit, but seem to sort themselves out after a while without any intervention from boy genius Wesley Crusher.
Wesley Crusher tries to upgrade the warp drive and they work better than ever.
Beverly Crusher manages to go through a whole episode without having a hot flash and getting breathless every time Picard is in the room.
Guinan forgets herself, and breaks into a stand-up comedy routine.
Data falls in love with the replicator.
Kirk (or Riker) falls in love with a woman on a planet he visits, and isn’t tragically separated from her at the end of the episode.
The Captain has to make a difficult decision about a less-advanced people which is made a great deal easier by the Starfleet Prime Directive.
An unknown ensign beams down as part of an away team and lives to tell the tale.
Spock or Data is fired from his high-ranking position for not being able to understand the most basic nuances of about one in three sentences that anyone says to him.
Kirk’s hair remains consistent for more that one consecutive episode.
Kirk gets into a fistfight and doesn’t rip his shirt.
Kirk doesn’t get into a fistfight.
Kirk doesn’t end up kissing the troubled guest-female before she doesn’t sacrifice herself for him.
Scotty doesn’t mention the laws of physics.
Spock isn’t the only crew member not affected by new weapon/attack by alien race/etc due to his “darn green blood” or “bizarre Vulcan physiology” and thus he cannot save the day.
The episode ends without Bones and Kirk laughing at Spock’s inability to understand the joke, and he doesn’t raise his eyebrows!1 user thanked author for this post.

Is this going to be a parody series?
Lower Decks is a comedy series, the head writer worked on Rick and Morty, and used to the the TNG Season 8 twitter (which later got an official tie-in book). There aren’t a lot of solid details beyond the cast being the kinds of people who have the awful jobs on a starship like reloading the replicator food pods, and it being a year after Nemesis

I always felt that the Klingon bird of Prey had its design flaws
but why did they and the Romulans have cloaking devices and the
Federation weren’t allowed to develop it…In-universe the Federation were banned from researching the technology by treaty. The TNG Series 7 episode The Pegasus revolves around a secret and illegal program to develop a cloak

Which always struck me as a bit odd, considering how the Prime Directive is based around observing and not interfering.
Yet they frequently traveled to primitive worlds without disguising themselves or their technology. The series never really dealt with this until the TNG episode “First Contact.”
