Star Trek could've ended well with the last episode of ENT. Especially with that last scene.

I remember when I saw it as it was knew thinking how that was a nice enough ending for things, at least go into hibernation for a decade or two like Doctor Who sorta.
I was going to compare to TOS but that ended in 69, then TAS started om 73, then TMP in 79. So ENT closing up shop in 05 and FlareTrek in 09 still keeps to no more than five years between mainline Treks.

That's awesome. Not just the feel, but they used the same music.

Trek can work amazingly well with no-budget animation.
But yeah that's absolutely the TAS music and foley. Also lol the Kzinti

Flare Trek isn't mainline.
 
An animated series of TNG (and maybe add DS9 and VOY) with the original cast doing the voices would have been much, much better than whatever we're having now.

There a few episodes if TNG7 I haven't yet watched and I think I'm glad this one is one of them. When I finally decide to watch it, I'll let you know.
 
How to fix Star Trek: Picard in one scene.

Right before the end credits show a scene of Picard foaming at the mouth and shaking violently with half his face drooping and his housekeeper screaming that he's having a stroke. All of it was a hallucination of his dying brain.

Edit: Got a better one. As Picard finishes his adventure and as the camera pans out from the scene he says "Computer, end program."
Then he walks out of the holodeck talking about how terrible that was and that he'll stick to his Dixon Hill novels from now on.

Very unlikely. Kirsten Beyer killed him off in one of her Voyager novels. And while she loves fucking with other people's characters and stories, she'll pull rank to prevent anyone messing with hers.

When David Mack and co were busy violently killing literally everyone in the final "litverse" trek novels (a decision she was involved in), she made sure Voyager ended up outside the galaxy or something just in case she wanted to write more of her Voyager books.

Yeah that was bizarre. The Voyager stuff ends in like 2382 or something and they get taken to another galaxy. Whereas they completely blew up the rest of the "litverse". I wondered why they left the DQ, I guess that does make sense.

Season 3 could be a perfect continuation. It's the old crew trying to provide hospice care on Risa.

I'd rather watch that than the shit they're broadcasting now.
 
Anyone have a guess how many seasons Picard and Discovery will run? Will they do the traditional Star Trek Seven seasons or more or less?

Picard is done after season 3 and STD can continue as long as Tilly can keep gaining weight.

Depends on how popular Strange New Worlds turns out to be. Considering how disastrous the reception of Discovery S4 was even compared to the previous three seasons, I could see them shitcanning Discovery after its next season in favor of focusing on SNW if the latter turns out to be reasonably popular.

As for Picard, I'm guessing they'll call it a day with S3, then maybe try for a spin-off with some of the other characters from the show.

(it still ends that way in a "headcanon" anyway)

The more I think about it, the more Voyager's finale and then Nemesis, which were the chronological end of Star Trek canon for close to two decades, made for a nice ending point for things. The Borg had been wiped out, the Dominion were no longer much of a threat, the Cardassians had been reduced to a broken ruin of an empire, the Klingons and the Ferengi had reformist leaders, and even the Romulans were apparently starting to open up, with the Federation in a good position to become the leading power in the galaxy, or at least the Alpha/Beta Quadrant half of it.

In retrospect, the Berman era did get a lot of things right on paper, it's just that the execution was often lacking (and it probably didn't help that Nemesis was such a colossal flop at the box office) - instead of the "terrible ideas, worse execution" situation we have now.

Which is interesting because that story had something to with a time crystal , which incidentally made its way into DISCO :lunacy:

Hell, the Afsarah Eden character was basically a prototype Michael Burnham.

Kurtzman deserves plenty of blame, but people who put it all on him don't seem to realize just how much of what is shit about nu-trek comes straight from Beyer.

Realistically.. How many years does Stewart even have left? Since they clearly aren't actually trying to make money, thats probably the limiting factor here.

Just three seasons. Makes since considering Stewart looks like Biden as in I could see him dropping any second.

what the hell lady lay off the cake!!! How do they think can just fool people into believing she didn't get fat. If I was running the show I would tell her to lose the weight. But because the show is run by soyboys they don't wasn't to fat-shame.

Fat people are starting to lose fat people to look up too.

Rebel Wilson, Adele and Mellisa McCarthy all have lost weight. They need some sort of fat celebrity look up too and be "see perfect body acceptance"

It's amazing. What sort of time gap was there between season 1 and 2? Did they hook her up to a crisco IV? Did she go through a Tuvix transporter accident with Bruce Vilanch?
 
When I saw The Northman yesterday, they were playing the SNW trailer like every other advertisement. It looks like more '09 Trek shit so I'm not interested by default. Lot's of action shots of the Enterprise manuvering like a fighter jet and just a completely underwhelming cast.

Come on, man. Is there no one on set to tell her to fucking diet or go for a non-fake run or something? This is nuts, she's literally obese. It's not that the character is heavy, she's distractingly fat compared to everyone else around her except that dumb cunt from Georgia that showed up. Wouldn't you be fucking embarrassed if you were on an iconic TV show (that sucks) and you just somehow get fatter and fatter?

They are probably enabling it because it makes the fatties watching it feel better about themselves if they're represented on screen. That and modern tv is apparently so cucked that they're afraid to get sued if they tell an actor to take it easy on the poutine.

It's like that poor girl and her terrible fucking skin but at least in that case it's arguable about how difficult it is to control especially with all the make-up you have to wear on set, versus going on a goddamn diet.
