You should really watch Picard. Season 3 is the best Trek since DS9 ended.

I'm not watching the trailer. When is it coming out?
Does the show trailer feel like it's Discovery ish? Or more SNW? Or a whole nee show all together?
Btw, how old was Boimler in S1 of Lower Decks? He's the youngest of the Cerritos five, right?

The way the SFA trailer focused on that one kid makes me feel like it's going to be more Discovery-ish in focusing primarily through one character, rather than an ensemble show. For my part I'm just whelmed. Need more of a feel for what the show is actually going to be like than this gives before I'd be willing to invest attention in it.
NSFW language.
Goodness that is overpriced. For $400, you think the saucer section would open up and have a scaled bridge for the minifigs to use.
Don't forget to order ASAP on Black Friday so that you can get the "free Gift" of the Type 15 Shuttlepod with Ro Laren figure!
I do give props that, instead of the usual "Star Trek" accessories, Lego is digging a bit deeper for some character specific accessories, like Guinan's "It's Green" liquor, Picard's cup of earl grey, Riker's Trombone, and, of course, Spot.
On to corporate news, Paramount has officially announced that they are no longer pursuing a "Star Trek 4" in the rebooted film franchise that started with JJ Abrams' Star Trek in 2009. Following a near decade of troubled development, the loss of a key cast member, the cool fiscal reception to the prior film (despite strong critical response), and new ownership; Paramount has scrapped plans to build on the prior film continuity with a sequel to Star Trek Beyond. Other plans for Star Trek feature films remain in development, reportedly.
Not surprised about ST4 getting axed. I'm sure at this point several cast members would have price tags far too high for an ensemble film from a struggling studio.
I think it would be bizarre at this point. Everyone but Sulu and Chekhov have been recast in SNW and if you wanted to use Chekhov, you'd have to recast him too. If you want to do a TOS movie now, just use the SNW cast.
The Kelvin-verse was good while it lasted, but I wasn't expecting anything out of them at this point. And I agree that I would prefer to see the SNW cast at this point in their own films.
I do wish the Lego set had turned out better - I like what they were able to accomplish, but I don't think I $400 like it; not with some of the shape weirdness and lack of any detail whatsoever on the saucer underside. The shuttlepod is actually pretty great, but since it's the exclusive GWP...once again, it'll go out of stock in two minutes and then be ridiculous on the aftermarket.
Honestly, I am shocked that it's not a $99 set.
E-C respect. The Ambassador is one of the designs I really wish we saw more of on-screen.
Ever thought that Zefram Cochrane in Star Trek First Contact is a reference to Gene Roddenberry in that he's hailed as a visionary but not a wholesome guy?
