I found this to be an interesting (for lack of a better word) interview to watch. Part of the "Section 31 Defense Offensive."

Kazinsky (the guy in the cyborg suit) had gone on record as being a Trek fan, and he talks about rationalizing his opinion of Section 31 with being in this production. In so many words, Kurtzman told him Trek is dying because "kids" don't know what it is anymore, therefore Trek must diversify its offerings to attract new fans viewers, and that is what sold him on this project.

Hi everyone!

...I've started to write a story in the ST setting, and I was looking for other sourses of informations beside the tv series.

I'm looking specifically at the early TNG timeperiod, seasons 1, 2 and 3, maybe a bit of 4...

Any help is wellcome!

Live long and prosper!

Solid officer, always present and always reliable. In basics to rescue Chakotay and crew from the eel cave Janeway basically asks for the fastest runners to volunteer to go into incredible danger and he's just like "Yo." Immediately. What a dude.

Fun fact, Ayala has the most credits of any extra in any Star Trek series and the actor himself, Tarik Ergin has appeared in 138 episodes of Star Trek.

Every DS9 episode I try only offers German, French, or Italian audio. Such bullshit.

In universe...why do you think the cadets ran out of engineering during the first battle scene with the reliant in wrath of Khan?

For example when the reliant is approaching the enterprise Kirk orders yellow alert. Saavik sounds the alarm the whole ship should know it. Engineering for sure and they know they're not on a training mission anymore. It's not a drill.

So given all the ample warning....why do you think the cadets ran after the enterprise is hit with weapons fire? Also if you run like that would this mean you're pretty much done in starfleet?

What do you think?

i don't really care for spoilers and such but i just can't quite wrap my head around it .... how is phillipa georgiou (michelle yeoh) alive in the section 31 movie ? can anyone explain it to me. thanks.

Something I see all the time is the idea that the Kelvin Timeline is a branch reality created when the Romulan miner Nero, his crew, and the Narada were sucked into a red matter black hole in the year 2387 and emerged in the year 2233.

The moment Nero emerged from the black hole, an entirely new reality was created.

Here are thoughts on the matter by Simon Pegg, actor portraying Montgomery Scott and writer of Star Trek Beyond:

"With the Kelvin timeline, we are not entirely beholden to existing canon, this is an alternate reality and, as such is full of new and alternate possibilities. “BUT WAIT!” I hear you brilliant and beautiful super Trekkies cry, “Canon tells us, Hikaru Sulu was born before the Kelvin incident, so how could his fundamental humanity be altered? Well, the explanation comes down to something very Star Treky; theoretical, quantum physics and the less than simple fact that time is not linear.

Sure, we experience time as a contiguous series of cascading events but perception and reality aren’t always the same thing. Spock’s incursion from the Prime Universe created a multidimensional reality shift. The rift in space/time created an entirely new reality in all directions, top to bottom, from the Big Bang to the end of everything. As such this reality was, is and always will be subtly different from the Prime Universe. I don’t believe for one second that Gene Roddenberry wouldn’t have loved the idea of an alternate reality (Mirror, Mirror anyone?).

This means, and this is absolutely key, the Kelvin universe can evolve and change in ways that don’t necessarily have to follow the Prime Universe at any point in history, before or after the events of Star Trek ‘09, it can mutate and subvert, it is a playground for the new and the progressive and I know in my heart, that Gene Roddenberry would be proud of us for keeping his ideals alive. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations, this was his dream, that is our dream, it should be everybody’s."

Ello all, So I went and bought myself a Kobo and looking to stock it up on some Star trek novels.

I have previously read the Titan series but it was many moons ago (so will pick most likely pick them up again) but just looking for good recommendations for single/series/graphic novels set in any Era (Except the Disco era, if there are any)

Thanks in advance :)

So I sometimes talk with AI chat bots just as a time killer. Nothing serious. But out of curiosity, I asked it for a ranking of every Star Trek movie and TV series. And, surprisingly, it was a decent list. I wouldn't agree with everything completely. I might shift a few things around slightly. But there was nothing I couldn't see a good argument for.

And look what it placed at the very bottom:

1. Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG)

2. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

3. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9)

4. Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS)

5. Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

6. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (SNW)

7. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

8. Star Trek: Lower Decks (LD)

9. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

10. Star Trek: Voyager (VOY)

11. Star Trek: Prodigy (PRO)

12. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

13. Star Trek: The Animated Series (TAS)

14. Star Trek (2009)

15. Star Trek: Enterprise (ENT)

16. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)

17. Star Trek: Beyond (2016)

18. Star Trek: Generations (1994)

19. Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)

20. Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

21. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

22. Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013)

23. Star Trek: Discovery (DIS)

24. Star Trek: Picard (PIC)

25. Star Trek: Section 31 (Movie)

I get that the first two seasons were a little rough (although they weren't "that" bad imo)

But season 3 is PEAK in my opinion and the excellent season 4.

The xindi arc was very entertaining with high stakes, plot twists and turns, I loved it. With season 4 seeming more of an effort to tie enterprise in with main franchise canon a bit more and presenting several excellent multi episode arcs.

Seasons 1 and 2 are just middling, stereotypical Berman era trek. Watchable.

Seasons 3 and 4 were star trek modernising in the RIGHT WAY as opposed to what they are putting out now.

The ending of the show sucked so bad with the 10 year time jump and riker shenanigans, and left writers with a lot of work to do to fix things for the continuation novels.

My main criticism is poor Anthony Montgomery, he just had nothing to do, I never noticed quite how bad it was on a first watch. I remember everyone saying Hoshi and Travis had nothing to do in the show... Well I thought Hoshi could have had more to do but she didn't get it anywhere near as bad as Travis. I can remember a few Hoshi episodes and scenes, Travis I literally remember his freighter stuff and sitting upside down in the premier and that's it!

I thought this was good so I decided to post it here.
