I stopped playing STO over the summer because I had finished the story and it had become a grind to complete the daily missions. I decided it wasn't worth losing sleep just to warp to the Dyson Sphere every day and blow up a few Voth cruisers just to get a package of useless crafting materials.

Although part of me wishes I had hung on for maybe a couple more months so I could complete the summer event and get a fancy new ship that I had been saving up for.

Also, I never got to share my all-tranny crew on here before deleting the game.
 
Hey, it's the new Picard trailer! The whole opening VO with Patrick Stewart sounds like it was written just so it could show up in the trailer, and hey, why not suspect a bunch of other lines as the same? Who wanted the Borg Queen back when a bunch of fans thought she was a misstep in how the Borg were written? Who are all the people coming out of the woodwork on social media to talk about how they are so hyped for this? Where did anime sword Romulan go? Is he even in this show anymore? Is there a single futuristic looking set or is it all just grungy modern/totally-not-modern sets that look like they need a deep cleaning? We'll just have to wait and see! (or not, I'm not watching any more of this crap)

This show really is just fan service incarnate. I'm guessing the singular and only good part of this season will be Q (unless they somehow manage to fuck him up, so I'm not holding my breath or anything). I'm mad that they didn't just make the entire Picard show about Q's final lines in All Good Things

I watched season 1 out of morbid curiosity and it was pretty fucking bad, and judging by this trailer this season will be worse. Speaking of, is there any sort of known phenomenon or cliche regarding this "style" of trailer? I feel like I've seen a hundred trailers that are done in this exact same way, same type of shots, cut up quotes, same audio design. Its really annoying

I've heard comments before that trailer making has shown a lot of progress and development which does end up making them feel kind of samey. If you didn't know anything about Star Trek (or that PIC S1 is not just insulting to fans but downright stupid most of the time) everything about the trailer they just released seems super important and cool: big decisions, exciting camera angles, important conversations between characters, etc. A far cry from the days of just putting some neat clips of the new movie/episode together with a quick blurb at the end that includes title and premiere date. Unfortunately this covers up that the show itself is bad because the trailer is well made, and you'd only know this if you really cared about Star Trek.
 
I’m starting to think this Kurtz just really wants to be punched in the face.

Alex Kurtzman Says He’s Proud Of Having Been Able “To Grow Star Trek Into Something It Had Never Been Before”​

January 21, 2022

In case there was any doubt left in the minds of long time fans, current Star Trek head Alex Kurtzman has confirmed that one of his intentions in developing the franchise’s current slate of projects was “to grow Star Trek into something it had never been before.”

Kurtzman revealed this insight in honor of the January 18th announcement that nearly every currently in-production series in the ‘Star Trek Universe’ had been renewed for another respective season, including flagship series Star Trek: Discovery, the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, whose second season has been ordered months ahead of its May premiere.

“STAR TREK: DISCOVERY has been renewed for a fifth season. Season four of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY returns with new episodes on Thursday, Feb. 10,” read CBS’ official press release. “STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS has been renewed for a second season ahead of its season one debut, which will premiere on Thursday, May 5. Following the premiere, new episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays. STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS will return summer 2022 with a 10-episode-long third season. STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS has also been renewed for a 10-episode-long fourth season.”

While they did not receive renewal announcements, Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Prodigy were confirmed to be currently developing their previously announced third and second-half-of-its-first seasons, respectively.

“Season two of STAR TREK: PICARD will premiere on Thursday, March 3. Following the premiere, new episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays. STAR TREK: PICARD is currently in production on a third season,” elaborated CBS.

“Season one of STAR TREK: PRODIGY returned on Thursday, Jan. 6 with episode six. The remaining four episodes of season one’s first half will be available to stream weekly on Thursdays, with episode 10 available to stream on Thursday, Feb. 3. The additional 10-episode-long second half of season one will be available on Paramount+ later in 2022,” ViacomCBS added.

Alongside this news, Kurtzman also released a statement wherein he excitedly told fans, “Four years ago, we made a promise to grow Star Trek into something it had never been before, and thanks to the incredibly hard work done by our many talented showrunners, writers, and directors, along with the extraordinary support of CBS Studios and Paramount+, we’re keeping our word.”

“Now our current shows are set up for the future as we work to build Trek’s’ next phase of programming for years to come,” he added.

As noted above, even a cursory glance at the current state of the franchise’s media and public faces makes it readily apparent that Kurtzman has succeeded in transforming Star Trek into “something it had never been before.”

From the large-scale star ship battles more akin to something out of Star Wars than Star Trek seen in Discovery, to the placement of Jean-Luc Picard’s consciousness into a golem body that is more in-place with Dune, to the crude and lewd humor in Lower Decks, it’s never been more clear that the beloved sci-fi series has strayed further than ever from its curious and adventurous roots.

Whether it can ever find its way home remains to be seen. At least for the foreseeable future, the outlook seems bleak.

Kind of cool to see them using the Kirk maneuver to time travel. You're right this trailer had me kind of intrigued, for a time I was tempted by it's offer, for 0.68 seconds at least.

I liked the borg queen :(

There are probably many Queens (distributed based on distance + amount of drones/ships/worlds in a particular region) who all are all linked. At the very least, the accepted theory is that, when one of them dies, a drone is then turned into the next Queen. With that in mind, killing one would make no impact on the Collective.

Her death still causes all of the other Borg to die, which is a pretty dumb addition. Data had plenty of chances to kill her unimpeded.
