Besides it was made clear killing is not something Worf was cool with. He had his arm twisted once and wasn't going to let it happen again. Next Gen spelled it out at the end of Redemption when he not only spared Duras' son but also prevented Kurn from killing him. It was spelled out again in Ethics when he was convinced not to commit ritual suicide himself and instead chose to take a risky operation to regain his mobility. He just isn't like other Klingons and it's just not his way. Quote:

I don't know if Jurgens really dislikes it, but I know he feels like he wasn't allowed to really do his best stuff and felt a little bait-and-switched. He really wanted to write Peter Parker as the main character and I know he was frustrated he wasn't allowed to do that, therefore, even giving it his best shot his heart wasn't really in it.

Interesting. If the Hawley one happens, it won't be Kirk or Picard but connects to real Star Trek in a big way.
https://www.slashfilm.com/noah-hawle...r-trek-update/ That probably means it will never happen.

Kalinda Vazquez has been set to write a new “Star Trek” movie for Paramount Pictures and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot.
Vazquez, who was named after a character from the original 1960s series, wrote a recent Michelle Yeoh-centric episode of “Star Trek: Discovery” and has served as a consulting producer on the most recent season. Oh, so it's a hack. https://www.darkhorizons.com/vazquez...tar-trek-film/

Paramount dated a new Trek movie for June 2023. Only thing known about it is that JJ is still producing for some reason.

Now that Viacom and CBS are back together. They can do Star Trek movies with any of the characters from the TV shows if they want. |

The movie has a director - Matt Shakman, who did the WandaVision series.
Originally the article stated it would be with the Kelvin crew but that part has since been deleted. https://deadline.com/2021/07/star-tr...an-1234792438/ |

I feel like we hear about a new director doing a new Star Trek movie every 6 months and then that idea is abandoned and then they do the same thing with another director. Isn't this like the 4th or 5th time we heard about a director doing a Star Trek movie and nothing comes of it?

They honestly don't have any business doing a Star Trek movie right now. It isn't like with the TOS cast where the TOS movies sprung from that show and were greatly looked forward to and became a thing or where the TNG movies slid off TV into movie screens. Because what are they going to give us, since they're ruling out Kelvin (as would be wise to)? Some random Star Trek event on the timeline? A big TNG/DS9/VOY movie would work but we all know that's just not going to happen. So what? Some kind of spinoff of STD or STP? How horrible that would be.

Star Trek 4 to begin filming for a 2023 release. Chris Pine and the 2009 cast are all back besides Chekov. I wonder if they'll recast or just ignore him. |

It always was a creatively boring pseudo-sci-fi nothingburger, pandering to a small echo chamber?
Boy, I wonder how it has become so popular in this case? Or maybe, someone just projects their impaired beliefs again... Last edited by Sumac; 02-15-2022 at 07:11 PM. |

Terrible news. There's nothing left to milk with Kelvin Trek unless they want to make it a "fixing the timeline" movie with one last adventure.

And no, I didn't project my personal beliefs onto the Star Trek franchise. Gene Roddenberry was very open about the show being a vehicle to comment on social and political issues and promoting progressive politics. Now Roddenberry has never been the be all and end all of the franchise but while other writers have differed in their approach their end goal was always the same. Now you don't have to be a progressive yourself to enjoy Star Trek, after all it's a work of fiction but no one should deceive that the franchise is anything but what it is. |

Even though the Star Trek franchise has been hijacked and irredeemably corrupted by The Next Generation’s principal actors (and Paramount writ large), the show itself is a breath of fresh air that feels timelessly enjoyable. What a shame that the modern Left have decided to ignore every single moral lesson it tried so hard to talk about." https://boundingintocomics.com/2022/...5t8RHnth-xYLAQ

And your thing about "progressive Star Trek"? Yeah. That is always what Star Trek was, but Discovery is beyond "progressive". It's purely tailored for the "cult of cry". Roddenberry's "progressive" meant a future accepting of everyone. Discovery's "progressive" is woke $#!( - a far cry from a future accepting of everyone. Woke $#!( isn't "progressive". It's just an angry assault from a generation of people who got trophies for failing and blame rrrrraasssss-cism when they fail in real life and don't get the reward. |

What they said here is clearly wrong. There's always been a certain amount of Conservatives who have long thought of Star Trek as their own. It's somewhat understandable as it certainly looks militaristic particularly the movies. I've certainly read some interesting Conservative interpretation of episodes...but from interviews we know they are wrong. There's also been people of more right leaning persuasion that picked up that Star Trek was a very left leaning show and enjoyed it anyway. That's fine as a work of fiction it doesn't have to align with your real world views. Star Trek has definitely changed over the decades but the Conservative 'movement' has changed way more that if any of the classic shows were aired for the first time today the political right would be in meltdown. Utopia is achieved by abandoning capitalism, hard borders are seen as bad. I can only imagine how the early episodes of Next Gen were it was shows men cross dressing was normal would be recieved. All the issue episodes would be seen as preachy. The casting of Levar Burton best known for his role in Roots would raise eyebrows. The casting of Avery Brookes as the lead with his views on race, having his character collect African art, then have the actor direct Far Beyond The Stars would have been denounced as IMJ would put it "woke ****". I'm not a huge fan of Discovery but I find my problems with it are very different to the show's loudest detractors which seem to take issue with any kind of minority being present. Even before the show aired people were getting very angry that the lead character was a black woman and writing it off as terrible. If that's what the modern political finds alienating about the new Star Trek shows...well it doesn't paint them in a positive light. Quote:
