I can't find any information that says the new TV series will take place in the JJTrek universe. In fact, several sources say it will be completely unrelated to the latest movie at least.

I sort of want it to happen during the WOK-STVI timeline as the uniforms are cool and the ships look awesome.

There is no way that this will happen in 2016 I don't think unless they really just want to pander to nerds (of which I include myself)

no, no...they'll try to make it hip and cool and all that for a broader market appeal or whatever dumb marketing logic applies

The best part about the Baku were that they fixed Data or something, so they had technology they were just huge self righteous hypocrites about when to actually use it.

Also Picard's boner was revived by the planet, so it could be the new Risa. The Sona really missed out on a nice business opportunity.

Wasn't that spirit guide episode the one where they revealed they actually do have cameras all over the ship, so that they could look at Chakotays spirit diorama or whatever?

A completely useful thing that would have solved maybe half of all problems that was never mentioned before or since.

And surely Cardassia would have destroyed the ruins or evidence they 'just discovered' of their slave race for the last century was actually superior then they were at one time.
They would have went Taliban/ISIS on it, and wiped it from history instantly.

I'm watching the DS9 episodes where Sisko, Dax and Bashir get beamed back to the 21st century for the riots or whatever.

I remember thinking the first time I saw this "LOL, there's no way any of this would happen by 2024, things are going so great!"

Now I'm like "Unemployment ghettos and labor riots is a really optimistic portrayal of the US in eight years."

Because just like how Dax is a weeaboo for Klingon everything, Dukat is for Bajoran. They make him have some pretty obvious wrinkle-nose fever.

Ok the episode where Tuvok is stranded on that moon with the children-that-are-actually-old-and-there-to-die is kinda cute

That episode is immediately followed by the one where they find people trapped in a simulation by a clown who is the personification of their fear or whatever and he turns Kim into an old man and then a baby and then scares the crap out of him with like traumatic childhood experiences

Pretty good

Then it's followed by the Tuvix episode

I think this is the best streak Voyager has achieved yet; I have actually been entertained for 3 episodes straight

Tim Russ pops up as a Vulcan in the second mirror universe episode of DS9, so I went to see if they actually intended for that to be Tuvok and...

quote:

Tuvok was played by actor Tim Russ. Russ also played the mirror universe Tuvok in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Through the Looking Glass", as well as several other roles in Star Trek. Russ recalled, "Most of my friends told me I didn't have to stretch very much because I'm like that character in real life." Garrett Wang remembered that when he first met Russ, he joked that Tuvok was one letter away from resembling the name Tupac, to which he responded, "Rap music is the reason for the fall of Western civilization."

I'm not sure what's funnier... Tim Russ being an emotionless sperg or Garrett Wang trying to connect with him over rap.
