Star Trek General Discussion
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
Remember that the burn is several hundred years after the time of Picard. It's natural for civilizations to have rises and falls.
Notably, the Burn is not the first time we've flirted with a post-apocalyptic series. Star Trek: Final Frontier was a planned animated series in the mid-aughts. It was to be set in the 26th century, when large swaths of the galaxy had been devastated and rendered impassable by a war using Omega weapons, causing the Federation to swing toward fascism.
There used to be an official site with a couple of scripts and storyboards, but it appears to have been lost.
(Ironic that they say that the post-9/11 philosophy is outdated. If anything, the idea of needing to defy and redeem the fallen Federation seems even more timely.)

Saw the video. That's pretty cool and had two eps set up too. I feel like the flavor would have been touched by some Enterprise some.
The Burn might be hundreds of years after Picard but still, hurts to kinda wipe the old captains away.
Starfleet Academy is post Burn?!? Why not post Picard? C'moooon!

We're probably never going to see for or against, but the presumption would be that it isn't going to be avoided.
I have been hoping for a Star Trek Legacy series since we saw the ending of Picard Season 3.
Still sick so watched section 31.
I'd say it's a typical heist movie, star trek or no. My first choice as the mole was wrong (I thought it was the lady who died, cuz y'know, it's always the one least likely, haha). Kinda sad funny cyborg guy died (I recognized the name Robery Kazinsky whatever as a dumb jock side character in that She's the Man comedy). Best new person is the squid really. Good he survived, haha.
Was this suppose to be a TV series? There seemed to be cuts for it.

Anyhow, that's it, right? I'm done with all video trek media?

It’s just as easy to ignore it altogether.
So, we finally finished Star Trek Prodigy. Loved the ending! It may be a kids show, but it really works well as a Star Trek series. Loved that we got some more story after the fact and linked up with the Mars attack, and it gave us a little hope that the Federation would continue to explore with the Protostar A.
Although, one thing doesn't sit right with me. Why is the Federations shutting down the academy? Now is the time to recruit and train more people.

Prodigy got very epic actually. I wouldn't classify it a kids' show, like, if the cast was just older, there would be no reason to.
So, I have realized something, reading through your watch through of all the Star Trek series. I realized that I have not seen all of the TOS episodes. I watched it in syndication growing up on Fox as a kid, and a few tapes we recorded of classic episodes.
So I started watching some episodes I have never seen:
The Ultimate Computer.
No Idea how I never saw this episode. Kirk and Bones psychology conversations about Kirk's feelings for the M5 is great. The resolution to the M5 problem was sort of lame, but I did like how the other captain figured it out.
I love how by the time we get to TNG, the ship is basically using M5 like computer from this episode. Everything is automated and done by the computer that can speak to you in normal conversation.
Spock's Brain.
An interesting little story, formerly advanced aliens using ancient technology to remove Spock's brain to act as a computer controller for the female's underground base. Kirk and crew have some interesting scenes tracking the aliens, and Mccoy gets his iconic, "A child could do it!" scene. Another somewhat lame ending for this episode though given the serious nature of it.
