The Star Trek Thread

[Peter Crisp]

With Star Trek Discovery seemingly having a story that will send them outside the galaxy will we see the enemies of the Q?

They haven't mentioned them from what I remember but I thought the entire reason for the galactic barrier was because they're constantly trying to get in? Surely they would see the Discovery as a way to do just that?

Not sure. There's a few things that have been dangled that I think might be important, but it's hard to tell.

I'm more interested in Prodigy to be honest. Last weeks episode was great. Some nice references and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens now they're in the Gamma Quadrant. Hoping for some Dominion action.

Probably looking forward to new Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds the most this year.

Discovery... Well it's just Discovery isn't it? Not too good, not too gooseberry fool. Just somewhere in the middle where it occupies that "It'll do I guess" space.

Picard I am looking forward to. I didn't dislike the first season as much as some and I'm eager to see what Q brings to proceedings.

Prodigy has been consistently good since it started as well. Definitely a kids show, but feeling more and more like Star Trek as the show goes on and it uses it's callbacks and nostalgia sparingly enough and to great effect. Also, of the two shows to have episodes named after the Kobayashi Maru this year, Prodigy definitely has the better one.

Not TV related but I am hoping to see 4K releases for the next batch of movies. Got the boxset with 1-4 in it and it would be nice to at least finish off the TOS movies this year.

Pike and his horsey



Genuinely looking forward to this one. Pike, Spock and Number One were the best things in S2 of Discovery.

What they really should do is have a Trek series set in Luton.

They already had DS9 which was a single setting so Star Trek: Luton seems like the obvious next step.

No, enough of the dystopian Trek!

Prodigy mid-season finale today was damn good.

Real Janeway!

I'm pleasantly surprised that they seemed to wrap up the Diviner storyline. Fully expected that to run the full season.
But I'm interested where they are going to go with ship essentially being a giant trojan-horse.
I actually think keeping them away from the Federation is going to be better for the story as well. The sooner they meet them, the sooner they'll want the ship back and try to fold them into normal Starfleet. I kinda like them being a rag-tag bunch of misfits.

I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this show, fully expecting it to be kiddy and a bit shite, but it's arguably the best nu-Trek show so far.

I love Lower Decks, but it's very much beholden to TNG era Trek, whereas Prodigy is something genuinely different.

Not sure what it says when the two best Trek since it came back are both animated.

Absolutely do not sleep on Prodigy. Loved it.

Teaser for Season 3 of Lower Decks

[Cheeky Devlin]

Nice.

My presumption is that we'll get either this or part two of Prodigy season 1 straight after Strange New Worlds. Probably Lower Decks as I get the impression Prodigy isn't going to be back till later in the year. Seems too soon for it.

Star Trek Prodigy makes it's UK debut tomorrow at 6pm, repeated at 8pm, on Nickelodeon.




Stilll no official streaming release (gonna be Paramount + I guess) but well worth a watch.
Of course all 10-episodes released so far are available via "alternate means" for those who want them.

Buckle up Buttercups. We're going to new depths of terrible. NO ONE had better ever accuse Voyager of ruining the borg again
