So basically TOS season 0? Season -1? Season -X?
TOS season 4 starts to seem more and more likey, doesn't it? |

This will bear no resemblance to TOS or anything remotely of quality.

Sadly this franchise is clearly dead and needs to go on a long hiatus. It’s unfortunate but it’s much needed.

I'm somewhere between indifferent and mildly pissed off.
Sigh. With as much of a letdown as Picard was, I still wish they'd stick to moving the ball FVCKING FORWARD. Prequels. Gawd.

Of all the things in the CBS All Acess Trek I actually like, Anson Mount as Pike is it. I might give this a chance, but as stated, my hopes aren't high given Picard.

STD season 1 and 2 and STP, it's the same writers. Anson Mount is great as Pike... but do you know who is great as Jean Luc Picard? Patrick Stewart. Yet STP is horrific.
A big vote of absolute no confidence from me.

True, to a point. Anson Mount was good as Pike as written in Star Trek Discovery. Sadly as great as Patrick Stewart is he couldn't Elevate Picard in Star Trek Picard.
on side note I just saw an article that said that the new Pike series will be more optimistic and episodic, in other words, more like regular Star Trek.

Complete with mandatory explosions, people screaming at one another, and tech they shouldn't have yet, like the 100s of starfighters and R2D2 units the Enterprise had in the last STD finale. And nonsense like "time crystals."
When fans will complain, they will say the usual "well what did you think this was supposed to look like?? A 1960s show? LOL!" Two things. 1) Nobody has a gun at their head forcing them to make more prequels set in the TOS era. 2) Enterprise and DS9 made it a point to honor that era in their dipping into it the two times they did... so it CAN be done, they can't say it can't.

Sadly, it has entered production. Also they've announced the cast:
https://deadline.com/2021/03/star-tr...ns-1234713092/ Not surprisingly, no sign of a white male... which must mean no Dr. Boyce, the only character other than Number One we got to meet from the crew in "The Cage."

Also, I'm betting we see a recast Captain Kirk (or Commander Kirk, or whatever) in Season 2. Probably not Season 1, though... they'll try to do their own thing like Discovery did the first season. Then... RATINGS BOOST WITH ORIGINAL SERIES RECAST, ZOMG

That blond woman in the cast kind of looks like a female version of the actor that played him. Suspicious... Quote:

We know very little about this but from what little we do know it looks the most 'traditional' Trek that we've had in a long time. If nothing else that Enterprise bridge looked exactly what a modern take the original Enterprise interiors should look like.
The only thing I dislike about it is that if we're going to have another series set in the TOS era I'd much prefer it to be set after Kirk's 5 year mission. I want to see the Gorn, the Tholians, the Guardian of Forever which we can't see in this series unless the start pulling a Star Trek: Enterprise and keep encountering alien races they shouldn't just don't have the crew catch their names. |

STD's take is apocryphal. And apparently only done for legal reasons wherein Kurtzman and company can get residuals on likeness rights. Not legal as in Kurtzman is being forced to, but apparently legal in the sense that if he makes things 25% different, now down the line he gets his $0.02 if they're reused (which, as showrunner of everything Trek, he gets to do).

Oh, and that's yet another prequel in what is now a long and seemingly unending series of prequels. I don't care what Pike was up to between "The Cage" and TOS. I'd say go beyond even STP, but they might as well explore the period between VOY and STP better, since STP told us exactly Zero about what happened in between anywhere in the galaxy. Like, for all we know, the Dominion took over the Klingon Empire and Cardassia retook DS9. We have no idea. STP was 10 hours entirely wasted on saying goodbye to an android we'd already said goodbye to in the last movie almost 20 years ago and Picard letting go of a white privilege we never saw him once exude on TNG.

I wouldn't go as far as to say the current writers hate Trek. They have a different interpretation of it than most fans that grew up in the 80-90s era of Trek. I also wonder just how much different their vision of Trek is when you factor in they were told to do something different. Who knows what their work would be like if they specifically aimed for something more traditional. Quote:

How many different Star Trek shows are there already?
I've been meaning to rewatch the original and The Next Generation on Netflix lately since I have find memories of watching their reruns on cable TV back in 2003-2005 with my family. But is there other Star Trek stuff that I've missed out and should check sometime? |

Really? I seem to remember The Motion Picture makes it pretty clear that it's an extensively new ship, probably only the same vessel from TOS in the sense that it's the same structural framework underneath. It has been in dock for two and a half years, and there's lots of lines like (probably paraphrasing) "This is an almost totally new Enterprise! You don't know her a tenth as well as I do!" Two and a half years, and still being worked on throughout the movie.

Voyager is a bit hit or miss and Enterprise is only really good in its last two seasons. So I'd recommend looking up a "best episode of each season" list for those two shows rather than watching it all. |
