New Trek thread since the last one died
Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.
But we already have a /trek/ thread.

that one has some shitty attention-hungry OP trying to discuss some specific aspect of star trek (i.e. "look at me, look at me!")
lacks the simple purity of a general
>>69955809
I fucking hate that character.
>>69955898
This, no one wants to talk specifically about TUC for an entire thread.

HITTIN THAT CRACK PYPE NICKA
>>69956053
The first Trek character that felt like a circus clown alien pedophile.
We'd already had other alien pedophiles and circus clowns.
If he was made up of two people, why was he normal sized, and what happened to the extra atoms of Neelix and Tuvok that would account for the body mass of two people? And when Neelix and Tuvok were remade, where did the extra atoms come from?
>>69956816
Better yet, what happened to the flower that was the responsible agent in Tuvix's creation?
I remember they both separated but no orchid was in sight!
>>69955335
is there any hope in here for the new Star Trek series being launched?
>>69955967

he was just twice as dense

I look forward to your report Mr. Broccoli!

>Captain: AlphaQ72MH - Starfleet's first quantum computer with algorithms directly a part of a captain paradigm / system. Captain AlphaQ uses his nanosecond decision making and moves about using three rollerballs underneath a cylindrical machine that sits about 4 foot high.
>Commander: Blarn - The first Gorn in Starfleet. He speaks mainly through nods and growls but also will relay orders through an arm panel and rarely through the universal translator
>Helmsman: Prada-Sliz Danfeldt - Questionable sexuality and gender human. He/she lives for the thrill but has a wild side. Hits on everyone but the Captain.
>Tactical/Security Chief: Leonard Chong - A seasoned Chinaman who always is one step ahead of the deceptive types.
>Science Guy: Shannon Koesler - An androgynous alien from an area in the outer Beta Quadrant.
>Chief Engineer: Janelle Capers - Young black woman with a lot of heart (but way more sass)
>Doctor: There is no Doctor but an Health Management director who coordinates the crews diagnoses from Cure-E the Diagnosti-Bot.
>Newbie Ensign: Bradley Rayburn - Blond haired, brown eyed surfer type. He speaks like Corey Feldman from the early 90s but more clearly.

Star Trek Sabotage and Star Trek 2017 will both be awful.
Debate me.
Star Trek had promised us liberty, equality, and fraternity. Instead, it gave us irrationalism, demagogism, and quislingism. I suppose we should have seen that coming, especially since the concept of risk includes the relationship between the consequences and probability of an event. If the consequences of an event are extremely negative, such as the devastation resulting from Star Trek importuning obstreperous, voluble drongos into dispensing outright misinformation and flashlight-under-the-chin ghost stories, then you want the probability of the event occurring to be vanishingly small, as close to zero as possible. Unfortunately, the likelihood of Star Trek trafficking in our blood, our birthright, and our security is so high that one can't help but conclude that if it could have one wish, it'd wish for the ability to denigrate and discard all of Western culture. Then, people the world over would be too terrified to acknowledge that in a sense, Star Trek's militant pleas are quite amusing. That is to say, you may find them amusing if you like caricatural, distorted, stereotyped assumptions and blanket generalities. In short, Star Trek's pleas are a kind of long, elaborated, humorless joke, especially when you consider that if I hear Star Trek's compatriots in jingoism say, “Terrorism is a wonderful thing” one more time, I'm going to throw up. Let me sum up. Moral relativism teaches a moral laxity.
Debate me.

You have the nerve to question Beyond prior to release knowing JJ is out, Pegg helped write the script, it has more emphasis on the crew, a classic Trek story but with newer foes.
The new Star Trek has Bryan Fuller as the showrunner, basically the tried and true from the post TNG crew (Piller's dirt-napping, Behr's half-retired, and Braga is at Betty Ford).
The seasonal anthology template will allow us to find a crew to grab on to or even a single character week to week. We have no clue what really will happen but we do know it's got a creative force behind it.
You really can't argue what I just posted, sorry.
>>69958047
>Implying it would be possible to write a good Star Trek movie in that universe of one dimensional stereotypes and nonsensical stories
>Implying they'll be able to create characters we care about within a seasonal anthology
You really can't argue what I just posted, sorry.
>>69958046
There was clarity in this post that was lost on the cumbersome placement of the word "drongo" after voluble and not "donger". Otherwise, I would've bit.
6.3/10 - Dennis Miller tier
>>69958047
It's JJverse, it is automatically shit. Putting emphasis on the nuggets of corn in your shit doesn't change the fact that you are looking at shit.
It's being released on a streaming service, it will be infected with god knows what sort of SJW meme is popular at the time like a tranny captain, it will have the same lore constraints as ENT in that it won't be able to discover or change anything of significance. The worst aspect is that they too are following the JJverse and the teaser was simply the end credits for Trek 09 and the badge for Trek 09.
Now that is something you can't argue with, it will all be shit.
>>69958046
how is star trek jingoistic?
>>69958217
I either want 2017 Trek to be a daring effort into the unknown within the established universe that reaches boldly for the unreachable that the forebears stretched after..
..or I want it to be an utter abomination. All sorts of debauched and ludicrous situations. Pandering to the LCD of Sci-Fi and the feelings brigade from Tumblr. If it is to be bad, I want it to be embarassingly bad, to the point of a literal nausea. An overweight loud black woman, an OVERT transsexual (the type where the chin and adams apple are the only thing you can see), casts like that.
If it's not the former, we can only hope for the figurative love child of AIDS and Karl Marx.
>>69958308
Red Squad?

It's set in the past, so the only way they could do that is stupid retcons like Enterprise

Fucking Frakes is a horrible HORRIBLE director.
This stupid pan shot from Insurrection wasn't anti-climactic, it was like a convention-teaser.

>implying that's not a perfect homage to Walter Koenig's weird sorta-eastern-european accent
>>69958668
Walter was subtle as long as he wasn't saying nyuclear wessels which was a joke that JJ took to be his entire character. He's also American and was completely putting his accent on.
>>69955898
>lacks the simple purity of a general
I hope this is bait
I've always wanted Woody Harrelson to do a serious dramatic cameo in Star Trek, show or movie.
Preferrably as a forehead alien.
What are some essential /crewcore/ episodes? I'm bored of bridge crews and want to see what the crew men's lives are like
>>69957166
>>69957276
The correct answer is Jeffrey Combs.
>>69958668
But Chekov was at least able to be understood.
>>69959110
Below decks and there is another one in Voyager but all I remember about that is that if a parasite takes over your body, you are able to walk through a forcefield.
>>69959299
Just watched that tonight, during my re-tread of VOY. I think it's odd that the starship stops doing anything productive /exploratory (or at least doesn't expect to) for at least a quarter of the day and just out a night shift on.
