Eh, Trek has had "saucer/seperate pod/underslung nacelle" designs since The Wrath of Khan.

Finally saw the first episode of Lower Decks. It's delightful and I'm probably gonna watch it all this weekend, whee.

Trek needs someone who can maintain the structural integrity of the rod it has up it's own arse, while at the same time being able to make fun of it. The S8 account sort of knew that sometimes all you really need is a Data And Geordi Fix The Breadmaker episode (especially in the hellscape of 2020) this is a really efficient and accurate way of expressing what i love about lower decks vs. the other modern trek shows

I quite like Discovery, but it's just... a lot. I would happily take that cast doing a fix the breadmaker episode. Picard is a very unhappy place for me.

I was just thinking that the truther should totally have thrown in a "Federation assassinated a Romulan senator to bring the Romulans into the war on our side!" as part of his diatribe.

I'm more excited for seeing what Discovery is going to try and do in S3 than anything they could conceivably do in Picard S2 - I feel like they kinda ruined that entire time period now.

The first part of Disco S2 was some good Trek, then the showrunner change happened and... yeah.

I like how Frakes sounded like younger Frakes rather than now. I believed this was Riker 20 years ago. A detail i noticed is that the weird bug alien guy that was on the covers of the Titan books i'd see at airport bookstores was on the bridge. I guess he's first officer?

Isn't Tuvok supposed to be on the Titan too? Maybe Tim Russ would be willing to do some VA work for an episode or two.

Memory Beta says the Titan crew includes Tuvok, Wesley, Ogawa, Melora, and nobody else I recognize so either book originals or some real deep cuts.

twistedmentat posted:I like how Frakes sounded like younger Frakes rather than now. I believed this was Riker 20 years ago. It was a Saurian. They showed up recently on Discovery after a blip cameo in TMP. Riker's first officer in the books is a human woman. Though the Titan books say that Riker put together as diverse a crew as he could muster, so the ship was like 60% alien, a lot of whom were from Federation species that actually kind of hated one another, so there was always this tension between all of them coming together and showing the Federation's "diversity is our strength" philosophy in action, or just tearing each other apart. The first couple of books also featured Tuvok as part of the crew as Riker's acting Tactical Officer. So if Season 2 is going to start off splitting its time between the Cerritos and Titan, hopefully include that little detail too and have Tim Russ show up for a couple episodes.

I wonder if it was the same Saurian who kept cheating by pretending to be a flagpole for the Academy capture the flag games Did anyone else read these motherfuckers?

Aeolusdallas posted:Forgettable? Undiscovered Country is up there with Wrath of Khan as the best of the Trek movies Yeah, we already had this whole conversation. Long story short, I was mixing it up with the one where they go see God with Spock's brother, because both movies came out close together and I saw them both at the theater. I guess the word "final" being in The Final Frontier's title corrupted the memory file in my brain of Star Trek movies. So my mind said, "Final? Must have been the final movie, then, or at least the movie they all assumed would be the final one. Oh wait... didn't they put their autographs on the movie that was supposed to be the final movie? OK, that means the one you want to forget was the final movie--right there in the title--and that's the one with the signatures. File | Save As... | STARTR~5.FRT".

Marshal Radisic posted:Honestly, a lot of the time the original Enterprise was the second contact crew, while the first contact crew got themselves killed decades before. Most of those first contact captains in the late 22nd century would also have been either contemporaries or students of Archer, which would explain a lot. I only just now remembered that the planet from the intro falls into that exact category: Starfleet sent the Enterprise to find out what happened to the USS Archon at Beta III a hundred years later, whoops.

The guy who designed the Titan/Luna-class has talked about it's origins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yiRv1dhBjw&t=809s Funnily enough it's not the Akira, it's the original Enterprise and Reliant with First Contact aesthetics added on later.

Ah, he was sitting in the left seat which is the first officer slot. Also based on what we saw, the Titan is 100% a key party in space.
