That was fun. Also Picard hasn't grown an inch since he was twelve apparently.

Remember in the 23rd century some lady bodysnatched the captain, and even when the crew figured it out all the thief had to say was "Are you really going to take orders from that just because she has the captain's mind, personality, experience, memories, ability, and soul? Uh your captain also has a vagina now" and the crew is like "oh yeah good point what were we thinking".

WampaLord posted:Imagine having to go through high school again, but with the mind of a mature adult. Stargate SG-1 did that. There was a 14-year old Jack O'Neil duplicate for some reason. After helping save the day, the duplicate gets witness-protected into going back to high school at the end of the episode. Yes, it is implied that he'll be ruling that campus.

The current run of Continues was grandfathered in under the new guidelines, because they were deep into production when the rules were announced (and, because, unlike Axanar, they didn't behave like a bunch of raging assholes). Last I heard they're considering new projects that will comply with the guidelines.

I started watching TNG for the first time this spring, and I just finished DS9 for the first time now. Wow. Are the DS9 Relaunch books any good? I don't normally read licensed fiction, but I might consider it for more DS9.

The run of novels from "Avatar" to "Unity" is pretty good, and is a fairly satisfying place to stop. After that, there was a change of editorial staff or something, and it's very obvious nobody knew where anything was going anymore, and then the whole setting abruptly jumps ahead half a decade to catch up to where the TNG novels were...

Speaking of Trek books, I saw that they've gone back and done more Vanguard stuff after the main series was concluded. Any of it as good as the first 5 novels were (or however many there were originally... I think it was like 5-7?)

Were there any good TNG/DS9 era fan films? The only ones I’ve ever seen all seem to be filmed in front of greenscreened sets which looks godawful and cheap.

Misread this as "good fan films produced during the TNG/DS9 era" at first and chuckled/grimaced at what horrors must have been wrought (and lost to the sands of time) with a huge VHS camcorder and a borrowed Video Toaster.

However one time I dreamt I met Avery Brooks shopping in a general store in some touristy place. I remember 2 Star Trek dreams I had as a kid. In one I met Jonathan Frakes and we hung out in Hollywood. He was a cool dude. In the other, I found a type 2 hand phaser in our junk drawer and I went around blowing poo poo up with it. That one was rad as gently caress. I remember going to bed hoping I would have that one again.

I used to be pretty into watching lovely fanfilms as a teenager (back when VOY was still in production) and I don't remember any that were actively good. The only one I remember was Star Trek: Hidden Frontier, which was goddamn awful jesus christ. It even had a cameo from that one teenage Übernerd from Trekkies, Gabriel Koerner.

FlamingLiberal posted:They're not bad. They follow the USS Sagittarius and the USS Endeavour mostly. Because of the way the Vanguard series ended, a lot of the 'main cast' members are not around. They did four 'Seekers' books involving those two ships exploring the area of space where Vanguard was. Yeah, I assumed they didn't bring back a bunch of people, which is fine. I still really liked the Vanguard stuff, and the ending felt really good (though was that the same Scottish planet as Crusher's grandma was from?).

I'm late to the "Rascals" party, but I had a thought last night: didn't they say in Season 2 that Picard had an artificial heart? With the way they explained the kidification field, shouldn't kid-Picard's heart has degenerated into base components and killed him instantly? Eh, probably putting too much thought into things. Jeb!

At least he could tell himself that the clone wasn't really him. Not only was Quantum O'Brien really him, it was the him that "belonged" in the timeline he has to live in now. O'Brien has the best life.

DS9 doesn't work so much as sequel fodder because few of the characters will go on to have "normal" Starfleet careers. Maybe Ezri and Bashir and Nog will continue to serve on Starfleet ships or installations. Sisko is a prophet , O'Brien is moving to San Francisco to begin a career as an engineering professor and raise two kids, Worf has a job on Qronos working for his best friend, Jake is a novelist/poet, Kira is running DS9, Odo is on his home planet likely never to return, and Quark is still a bartender

If you want to see what happens after TNG\DS9\VOY you could always try playing Star Trek Online. It's not very, well... good, but it's fun enough if you treat it like a single player game and just go through the story missions. It's also free... ish.

I feel like the next big post-TNG time frame has to be intergalactic. Whip up a slipstream drive for a one-way trip to Andromeda and spread Federation ideals in a whole new setting. We know there's eventually timefleet, but that's dull as gently caress.

Arglebargle III posted:the death of franchises We're talking about a franchise which has stated that our entire galaxy is 70 years across at top speed. The setting probably should expand elsewhere to keep that optimistic flavour of Trek. I'm not talking SGU or Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda where everything falls apart and life sucks.
