According to the commemorative plaque in Picard season 3, Captain Uhura commanded the Leondegrance on a 5-year mission to the "Lesser Magellanic Cloud" where her crew made first contact with over 109 species.

This would get back to the spirit of Trek: exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, boldly going where no one has gone before. It would give us a little bit of a Voyager vibe as the Magellanic Clouds are satellite dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way – there is currently no galaxy called the "Lesser" Magellanic Cloud but there's a Small and a Mini, either of which could hypothetically have been renamed. Both are over 200,000 light years away, which would take hundreds of years to reach at normal warp speeds.

Presumably Starfleet found some sort of shortcut that cut down the travel time significantly (and got around the Galactic Barrier), but this is essentially a region ~20% as large as the portion of the Alpha quadrant Starfleet has explored by TNG. They'd be going in better prepared than Voyager, but their ability to resupply would presumably be limited – the wormhole-esque phenomenon that connects the two galaxies means they'd have to warp back to their starting point to restock, so it'd be limited to when they were planning to double back and start exploring in a different direction anyway.

I feel like this could be a chance to anchor a show with a familiar and beloved character (and a woman of color) while introducing a brand-new cast otherwise. Celia Rose Gooding could continue on from SNW (and a Kirk Years spinoff if that happens) to make it a natural progression alongside a Captain Sulu show.

Thoughts?

So how shit a Temporal Agent was Daniels for his boss to dump him off on Archer as a food steward?

my pitch for a trek show,.

Good Q in heaven...Picard S3 was supposed to be a heroic reunion of our main cast. But it was soul-crushing and disappointing.

Rather than being older, wiser, and calmer, the TNG cast (except Worf) was mutated into a gaggle of sagging, unhappy, untrusting, snapping jerks who lacked any grace or wisdom. Instead of making me feel confident and positive, they left me drained and depressed.

And goddamn it, I don't want bitterness, despair, cynicism, and anger in my Trek anymore. I love TOS, TAS, and TNG precisely for being (mostly) uplifting and affirming. I watch these shows (yes, even TAS) and feel better about life. DS9, VOY, and ENT are good on their own merits, but are still darker and more cynical than TOS, TAS, and TNG. Yet even they are not completely grimdark.

But half of all Trek since 2006? It's left me feeling nihilistic and hopeless, no matter the 'message' being shouted into my ear.

And I'm sick of it. We have plenty of cynical, bitter, grimdark sci-fi and fantasy out there with which to mope and grumble. Given the current state of the World, let's feel...joyful and positive again.

Let's have bright, hopeful Trek again.

"Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks! (C'mon, T'Lyn!) Lower Decks!"

My wife likes to watch some Trek with me, but she's not heavily into the lore. Any time a Trill shows up all I have say is that they're the aliens with the pork tenderloins inside them, and she's like "ohhhh, got it."

Which makes me wonder.... how would you best cook a Trill Symbiote? I'm thinking some olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper, then into the oven at 375 for 35 - 40 minutes.

Never related to a Star Trek character more. Short fuse and fatally horny.

Why isn’t this movie talked more about?

Never posted here I don't think, but follow the community and love it and I'm a life long trek fan. God knows how many times I've seen pretty much every episode of every series!

Ok, so, it's not a terrible movie. It's a mid tier action sci-fi action flick.

I have 3 thoughts I need to get off my chest:

1: It doesn't need to be associated with ST 2: it's basically an attempt to get new, young viewers into ST and try to build a kid of Marvel Universe going forward 3: WHY THE HELL DOES THE LITTLE ALIEN IN THE ROBOT VULCAN BODY HAVE AN IRISH ACCENT?!?!

Edit: so I've just finished. It got worse. I will downgrade my mid-tier comment to low tier. Other than that, I think all my points stand. Even the ending obviously suggests that they want to make more.

Point 2. Why is nobody as annoyed about my original point 3? 😂

Edit 2: going to go watch a packed episode of LD to make me feel better

Then we would all remember the show as getting better once they dumped the grumpy English guy, and we could all argue about whether Star Trek: Riker was any good.

If you startled her or woke her up from a queen dream or something disturbing, the assimilation tubules come out and --bzztt-- you're borg.

He is now Bashar Bashir.

That is all.

You know how in tmp Spock tried to mind meld with vger but got overwhelmed because it was just too much for him

What if data from tng did a similar meld with vger....could data handle it?

Janeway and Co found a fast-spinning planet. How would they view human history, given it would be so long to them(like geologically long)??

Yes it does, and if you disagree then idk

Do uhura, geordi, and data have to be scrubbed out now of episodes? If an alien boards a ship without proper paperwork, will he/she just get sent back? Or can we now only watch ST at Costco?

Asking for a friend with little hands while texting on the can...

Someday it will actually be real life April 5, 2063 and Star Trek fan will be like… “well, shit”

Took a few tangos, but I got DeepSeek to tell me the name of a particular starship without blanking the result and telling me "that's beyond my current scope." I feel like Spock out-chessing the computer.

So just watched TNG 7:16, Thine Own Self. I think Picard got a whole 5 words in the episode.... Any other lazy captains in Star Trek?

Are they completely sexless or is it a “secret lives of Mormon wives” situation? Or was Ilia just using that excuse bc she could see the outline of Decker Jr. and wasn’t interested?
