    @dogmeat i always walked the line of wanting to punch Q and wanting to join his team and just cause chaos...at very least go grab a beer

    Fun getting old.

    I truly hope you're being ironic. Otherwise wait a decade or two.

    I just found Q's interventions particularly cumbersome.

    they did do a good job of making you want to punch him though which was one part achieved

    Oh no, getting old is not a process I'm enjoying at all.

    Won't be watching this one either. Looks awful. Picard can barely breath.

    It’s pretty notable that he struggles with dialogue. I mean he is over 80, but why are they making this thing?

    My favourite bit is look of utter confusion on Carrie, Mark and George’s faces.

    George has the most unexpressive face, you could clearly tell he was enjoying it but his face barely registered it.

    To be fair it goes with his writing. I've read one or two of his sc fi books and I'm not going to get those hours back.

    The writer/creator of Band of Brothers pitched a three film series about the romulan war. It was optioned and pushed, he wrote the first script, and then management changed at Paramount and the project was dropped.

    IN THE BEGINNING: THE TREK PREQUEL THAT NEVER WAS w/ ERIK JENDRESEN

    Get ready to go inside the unmade prequel movie, STAR TREK: THE BEGINNING, written by Band of Brothers writer ERIK JENDRESEN, which would have been a sequel to ENTERPRISE and a prequel to the original series telling the story of the Earth-Romulan War. Jendresen reveals the true story behind the first film in a planned trilogy of original #StarTrek movies that came tantilizingly close to being made and why it never happened. Also joining the Treksperts is screenwriter ASHLEY E. MILLER (Thor, X-Men: First Class) and director and pop culture commentator ROBERT MEYER BURNETT (The Burnettwork).

    @tim based just on the premise i would watch that, in a lot of way i feel we're past big concept plots all getting wrapped up in 90-120 minutes, three movies made at the same time so they all look the same etc would be awesome, proper space battles in 3 dimensions

    i replied before i had read the quote, i watched Enterprise last year, dated more than i would have thought production wise...but, it dd a lot of world building, went into things like shipping and trade routes, which doesn;t sounds exciting but was good at showing not everyone cruised around at warp 10, their were people on multi year cargo routes, or they had ships that just stayed in our solarsystem, one episode had the enterprise being chased back to earth so it could get backup, and these fast heavily armed ships were a big deal...and so how they then went on to an intergalactic war could be very interesting

    @kiwiwomble I think in the 1st movie they would use an experimental high warp ship to attack Romulus, and then in the 2nd they would be behind enemy lines with a one year low warp journey back to earth. Odyssey inspired.

    Looks like NZ is not getting Discovery for a while

    Star Trek: Discovery Is Lost to Most of the World Days Before Its Season 4 Premiere

    Star Trek: Discovery Is Lost to Most of the World Days Before Its Season 4 Premiere

    In a shocking move, the hundreds of countries who watch Discovery on Netflix will now have no legal way to stream the show, or its new season.

    @stockcar86 well that’s a way to turn off fans.

    Looks like I’ll be using alternative means for Strange New Worlds early next year.

    As for Disco, don’t care enough to source that.

    @Kiwiwomble, that is very frustrating.

    Like you I have enjoyed the series (for the most part as some episodes have been excruciating to watch at times) and only recently finished Season 3 as I knew that Season 4 was approaching.

    Ditto, don't want to get yet another streaming service as I have way, way too many already.

    Netflix, Apple+, Disney+, Prime, Stan and now Kayo after recently ditching Foxtel after more than 15 years as a subscriber.
