I enjoyed the documentary quite a bit The musical numbers were really cute I also liked the DS9 Season 8 Pitch right up until all the Section 31 talk, but as as been mentioned, that was before DISCO ran that poo poo into the ground. Even so, it could be a fine hook to start things off if it wasn't a major part of the season. It was DS9's baby after all. I really don't know that there is a much better way to get all the cast back together for something plausible 20 years later Overall, good. Mainly I wanted to buy a ticket in the longshot hope of signaling CBS that there was demand for DS9 remasters

Life-size Spock androids available in every store. The national anthem is changed to the Allamaraine song. It's poo poo, hth.

I have to say, my showing of the DS9 doc in your run of the mill suburban Cinemark (with 3 other locations showing it within 30 minutes drive) was nearly sold out. Not bad for a 20 year old show that CBS claims there's no market for.

Star Trek 4 is dead, Discovery Season 3 is shooting right now, Anson Mount says he's open to a Pike series, Picard show is shooting now for a premiere in the latter half of the year, no one knows when Lower Decks or the Nickelodeon animated series are happening, there's a Georgiou / Section 31 show in development.

This might be just me having false hope, but I have a weird feeling the S31 show is going to end up being shelved at some point. It feels like the weak link behind even Lower Decks.

I get the feeling that CBS wanted for Section 31 Trek, was what they got instead with the Pike show. I really don't like the terran emperor and they're trying to make a fascist murdering gendocidal maniac into a likable person and give them their own quirky spinoff. Meanwhile Anson gets a single season to be the captain dude for 14 episodes and for some reason literally everyone falls in love with space dad

I this this got mentioned in the Disco thread, but turns out that people are kind of sick of grim, compromised-morality spiky-black-leather antiheroes and would prefer upbeat, Star-Trek-ideals-having regular heroes. Plus, you know. Michelle Yeoh's no slouch, but Anson Mount's a dreamboat. edit: coming in 2020, Star Trek: Dreamboat.

Did season 2 of Discovery get anywhere near approaching good? The last one I watched was the episode where they just suddenly decided the crew were all best friends and a ~family~ despite never showing this in previous episodes because Saru was dying. Then at the end they literally have an integral part of his personality fall off instead of exploring a way for him to grow as a character or build the friendships they were touting to help him with his fear.

If Into Darkness were a better movie we could have gotten this with Kirk and Khan.

I wish they'd switch Yeoh back into Georgiou. Finagle some kind of a time-travel device where the emperor switches places with Georgiou in the past right before she died or something.

The ancient gateway is being opened at a diplomatic summit between the Federation, Klingon Empire, and Romulan Republic factions on New Romulus. It happens an underground cave with glass floors and bronze metal over lava flows. In addition to the ambassadors, all three factions have sent the captains of their flagship vessels. Worf, now the ambassador for the Klingon Empire to the Federation, was invited for his experience encountering two Iconian gateways before. He's raising strong concerns about the safety of the gateway. First of all, New Romulus was previously inhabited by a primitive race which drove themselves extinct by activating the gateway before they were technologically ready, causing it to activate all the volcanoes on the planet and plunging it into a long, dark winter. Second of all, they don't know where it opens and whether a hostile entity is on the other side. To assuage his concerns, the Romulan Republic asks you to go visit the engineers and check their work, but Worf is still not satisfied. He and Captain Shon of the Enterprise, an Andorian, asks you to place explosive charges on the gateway in case something goes wrong. They activate the gateway, there's a lot of rumbling, and cave-in starts, but the explosive charges are having no effect. Many of the delegates escape through the tunnels. The rest, including you, Worf, and Captain Shon have no choice but to evacuate through the gateway. You end up in a large, dark purple cylindrical chamber with three black metal doors. Worf asks you to tend to the wounded. Exploring the ship, you find that some of the rooms on the ship are analogous to the standard rooms in a starship - medical bay, engine room, albeit highly advanced with holographic control consoles. They decide to split up to cover more ground. You and Worf find the same examination room as in the Schisms episode and decide to check in with another team led by the Klingon captain, the daughter of Grilka, and during the conversation there sounds like a struggle, and then the com goes to static. Worf calls Captain Shon and they agree they need to rendezvous. You and Worf fight off some of the ship's automated defense drones and find phasers and communicators left by the Klingon team. Worf contacts Captain Shon again, but now his com is going to static, too. You find everyone secured in spherical-shaped holding pens and release them. Two people are still missing, so you go rescue them from the soloagen-based lifeforms. You are able to revive Captain Shon, who had some limbs amputated and re-attached, but a redshirt New Romulan died from getting his blood replaced with another chemical.  Having done that, you go through another room with large curving bridges, which has a live feed of images of Earth, Qo'noS, New Romulus, the planet where DS9 found the Iconian gateway, and Iconia. The solanogen-based lifeforms work for the Iconians, who plan to make the Alpha Quadrant species fight against each other and work for the Iconians as slave labor to terraform their long-uninhabitable homeworld. The away team makes it to the bridge and takes control of the ship, with Worf at tactical. They fight their way through another gateway which leads back to orbit around New Romulus, then the Iconians send through a bunch of ships through the gateway, and the three factions assist the hijacked ship in fighting them off. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 20:03 on May 15, 2019 |

You forgot the most important part: the gateway interface project wasn't even designed by the Romulans. They rolled up to a Tholian archaeological site, killed all the scientists and then, once they got their hands on the Tholian tech, almost blew up the planet with it.
