FlamingLiberal posted:Yes it’s post-destruction of Romulus That would be interesting, and I'd hope that they would get Gates to come in for flashback cameos or something. I can't really judge much about it from that trailer, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

But I also liked the Romulans as characters so the idea that most of them went up in a flash bums me out. You can't have someone like Tomalak being arrogant on the screen when there isn't a Romulan fleet anymore. In Star Trek Online they explained that they were using the system the supernova was in to test subspace weapons. So when the star went boom it went boom at warp speed. It's as good an explanation as any I guess.

It's as good an explanation as any I guess. As we all know from Intro to Subspace and Developed Intrastellar Studies in the Academy, all "individual" stars are actually upwellings of intensely energetic subspace reactions, akin to hot spot volcanoes punctuating spacetime fed by a bed of subspatial "magma". Any dramatic energetic effect to a single star has the potential to cause highly variable feedback, either through another star or dispersed throughout all stars extant in spacetime. "Barclay, have you been taking drugs again?"

it doesnt obey the laws of normal supernovas because the last surviving iconian blew it up in revenge for empress sela going back in time, murdering one of them and accidentally causing the downfall of their entire stargate thieving civilisation this is why i want picard to cover the fall of romulus because if they do it right it is such a cool angle and gives denise crosby an excuse to come back and mess with him in sto the rescue efforts managed to save a huge chunk of the population of romulus, and the surrounding planets, but not so much of the history, archives or the system itself. when you start the game as a romulan you are playing as a member of the diaspora on an overloaded colony fighting for resources i remember reading somewhere that sto has been confirmed to be 90% approved canon, so it would be cool if they followed roughly that plot instead of doing what they are going to do, which is make up something dumb and worse

Trek just going along with JJ's terrible "Entire Romulan Empire... uh exploded, that's why my space miners are so mad!" thing as cannon and not just some dumb side-universe bullshit is really depressing. I was hoping they would have just ignored the movies and let them do their own thing.

Can't wait for us to find out that Picard goes back in time to create Section 31 with the following pitch: - SECTION THIRTY-ONE - one, one, one. - Section Thirty-One. - The first word in black operations. - First word. - Espionage. - Psych eval portfolios. - Deterrence. - Computers. - Black leather gloves. - Research and development. Putting in the man-hours to study the science of what you need. Last week we put baryon particles on a Founder... ...and it died. - Security. - Security. - And... - And. - Possibly you. - Possibly you. - (Sloan) Oh, this is classic. This is... - (Picard) We'd like to present... ...the world premiere of Section Thirty-One's first field operation... ...against Romulus: Subspace Supernova!

They need to be forgotten and stop making GBS threads up the rest of Star Trek.

They're going to bring Damar back from the dead for this. Or at least re-hire Casey Biggs to play as Picard's chief rival in wine making. He knows a thing or two about wine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfTaMzV4oFo

Oh, exCUSE me, Admiral! Now of course I know you are retired but among my people we always go by our highest rank title achieved in life, and far be it for me to buck tradition! I could not help but notice your gaze at the ill fitting uniforms of these many cadets! Now if you still have some pull and find yourself in agreement that Starfleet is in the most dire need of a professional tailor, please DO contact me!

Why are they so continuity nuts, and moreso when the poo poo sucks? You've spent multiple episodes with incredibly divergent timelines which blip out of existence entirely, and all that ever happens is the end credits and stuff starts back up normal next time. Why aren't we free to reset anymore? That was one of the best things about TOS honestly, the Enterprise could have literally never have encountered anything it has before, this isn't about the other things, this is new, just watch the story.

Disco is even waffle-y about where it sits with respect to timelines, right? I'd posit that the biggest problem with the franchise is that people think Star Trek is all about time travel because those episodes and movies stand out the most (The City on the Edge of Forever, A Voyage Home, All Good Things, First Contact, etc.). This means new series feel like they have to incorporate some form of time travel, like Voyager's finale, Enterprise and the Temporal Cold War story arc, and JJTrek relying on time travel and divergent timelines (hell, the fourth movie was supposed to involve Kirk's dad so they could shoehorn Chris Hemsworth back into the franchise). It ends up making this terrible feedback loop of Star Trek including more and more time travel bullshit instead of exploring strange new worlds and seeking out new civilizations. I just want a show where Starfleet officers explore ancient alien ruins, encounter giant space monsters, meet new forms of life, and reflect on Humanity.

It was especially painful because it looked like a series that promised to explore the creation of the Federation, not introduce a completely unheard of alien species that is engaged in some timeline war in the 30th Century.

I only watched the first season or so, but it felt extremely like a case of throwing together a bunch of cool-sounding words and worrying about the details later. How big of a wet fart did it turn out to be?
