Seeing as how Discovery is an salvageable clustefuck, in retrospect,

>>94364200
Wrong board.

I'm excited for Star Trek Discovery. I haven't really watched a Star Trek Show since I was an adolescent watching the original airings of Star Trek: The Next Generation and syndicated reruns of Star Trek.

>>94364251
Captcha is full of shit. I selected street signs instead of the vehicles it asked me to select and it still accepted my submission.

>>94364200
I gonna watch the shit out of this and no

>>94364251
Only one half of a given captcha generally counts (apart from those ridiculous captchas we had recently). Still, Star Trek has so many damn /co/-related adaptations that it may as well belong here as long as we're not discussing the live action except insofar as it relates to said adaptations.
that said, the new series sounds atrocious

>>94364200
Honestly I'd take anything that's set after DS9 and Voyager instead of another damn prequel.

>>94364458
Star Trek Nemesis ruined the franchise and my future enjoyment of any Star Trek series set after the ending of ST: TNG and ST: DS9.

Voyager should be expunged from canon.

>>94364734
I'm watching Nemesis right now.

I'm surprised they haven't tried the animated route again, seeing the multitude of successful Star Wars series makes me super jealous. Has anyone been reading waypoints? It's a fun anthology series they started releasing recently

I can't stand Voyager. Idk what the fuck they were thinking with Enterprise, and although I have respect for the original series, it is limited by on-set politics and such.

>>94364769
Oh you poor dear. Eject that movie from your life now. It will ruin Star Trek for you.

No prob. The new captchas are a bitch and a half. I have no idea why legacy isn't just the default

No, I need more TNG.

Why would Romulus be okay with a Picard clone running the place?

I'm just tired of fucking interquels and prequels everywhere. I don't know why people are so scared of continuing things.

>>94365308
Thank you. The only part I liked about the movie was the wedding scene. Everything else should have been completely rewritten.

What they should do is make nice with the author of this and start it in the original universe.

You could even tie it together by having Jim Kirk wishing Aya good luck after her obligatory disciplinary hearing at the end of the first movie. It could be the last thing Kirk does before the Enterprise-B "milk run" in "Generations."

>>94364734
What did Nemesis even do? I skipped it.

The name of the show itself is 'Discovery', but nothing seems to really point towards the show being about discovery and Boldly Going Where No Man Has Gone Before. Part of the appeal of Trek is that starry-eyed optimism, about people going out into the wilderness armed with some ideals and a rad spaceship and succeeding. Without that spirit in the show, why even bother?

>>94365703
You could always play Star Trek Online.

>>94364734
Nemesis is great though.
>i'm afraid you won't survive to witness the victory of the ECHO over the voice

>>94366320

There is a distinct possibility that the show will be dour as part of an attempt to rid Trek of campy fun and make it more marketable to modern audiences. However, the cast seemed enthusiastic about the core philosophy of Trek, so it could end up being a show that is about persevering through hardships which challenge that philosophy without abandoning it.

Jax would had been a total waifu
Plus an ideological officer whispering to the captain to kill them all would had driven many cool conflicts

>in retrospect

The show hasn't even aired yet. But it's hard to get mad at Trekkies trying to write off a new series before they've even given it a chance because that, in itself, is a little bit of a Trek tradition. It's also hard to disagree, given that it's yet another goddamn prequel series.

So to answer your question, OP, I had no idea what Final Frontier was and had to look it up.
>In this series, the Federation would have fought a war with the Romulans, ending in the 2460s. This war would have been started by unknown persons using a surprise attack of Omega particle detonations. Vast areas of the galaxy would be considered impassable due to these detonations. This causes a split between the two halves of the Federation. During the Federation-Romulan War, Qo'noS was taken over by the Romulan Star Empire, Andoria was destroyed, and Vulcans left the Federation (they were negotiating reunification).

My answer is hell yes, I'd watch the fuck out of this over Discovery. Skews a bit dark for my tastes, I'm not really into the idea of a Trek show that's primarily focused around war, but it honestly sounds more promising than anything set pre-TOS possibly could be.

Canonically, nothing. I mean technically it killed Data, but it also left a loophole to bring him back easily that comics and novels immediately ran with.

It was just a really, really stupid attempt to give Picard his own Khan, and it bombed hard.

I really don't think the Vulcans would ditch the Fed especially when the Romulans go full evil again. Like they wanted to do that in DS9 too and it's just kind of too much.

Reuniting two halves of a broken quadrant could be cool though.

The rights to the whole franchise were split between CBS and Paramount. It is basically impossible to make a real Star Trek series anymore. Anything they make will be legally required to be unrecognizable.

>>94373077
It boggles my mind that this kind of bullshit is even allowed to happen. If anyone ever wanted an example of art being destroyed by greedy business practices, that's a good one.

Final Frontier should have happened, but didn’t. Instead of discovery, what I would have wanted would have been a KT cartoon. Imagine the first 4 Issues of IDW Star Trek Boldly Go as a 2-hour TV event for a series premier! It also would allow us to keep Chekov in a form other than a comic page.

The series concept ( war-torn Federation becomes insular and militaristc, idealistic captain wants to return to deep-star exploration) had real potential.

Their Enterprise design, however, was awful.

Ironically, Orville can reference almost anything it wants, because parody is protected free speech.

See, this is a good design. It takes a lot of cues from the already established uniform designs (you can see a lot of TNG elements in there), while changing enough to look unique without going full retard.

Take the combadge off and anyone who's seen a few episodes of TNG would look at that and still be able to tell it's a Starfleet uniform.

Nemesis did poorly commercially and critically so they're scared to do anything that even looks remotely like it. Meanwhile everyone's got nostalgia for TOS so they keep on trying to jump on the nostalgia bandwagon.

>>94366320
>discovery and Boldly Going Where No Man Has Gone Before.

I'd be all for a new Trek show about this but since this is a pre/interquel I can't help but feel like Discovery is going to have them discover shit we've seen before in older Trek series.

>>94375237
It's a much better version of anything TOS spewed out

>>94364251
>More prequel shenanigans
I am so sick of prequels.

>>94367282
>I mean technically it killed Data

That honestly just seemed like they added it in cause Brent was sick of playing him and wanted a way out. Which just makes the whole thing even worse I think. Like what's the logic behind Data deciding to beam in without a word, beam Picard out, and blow up the ship with him on it again? I thought his whole thing was he's just as much of a person as anyone else but from I remember that just seemed "Oh I'm just a robot so it doesn't matter if I die or not." But I haven't seen Nemesis since it was new.

>>94375436
It's bad because you can reskin the names and designs to something else while still keeping the plot exactly the same and you could not tell it was trek at all. It probably would have been better that way, at least it'd be a new IP instead of slapping an older one onto a script for only brand recognition.

>>94374401

Its possible to get a pretty good idea that something might or might not be to your liking through trailers, leaked images, and interviews. And there have been PLENTY of material surfacing from STD to base an opinion on.

>>94375471
Wow, it's almost as if they went in a very different direction because the previous Star Trek movies were embarrassingly bad.

>>94375369
>That honestly just seemed like they added it in cause Brent was sick of playing him and wanted a way out.

I've read it was more a case of Brent getting too old to play an unaging android for much longer. He probably figured he wanted the character to go out on a "high" note rather than be ruined by whoever replaced him.

>>94375537
The previous Trek movies didn't feel like Trek either.

>>94375537

>>94366320
Not to argue with you, but I think DS9 proved that a Trek series can stray from the Rodenberry all-exploration-and-unrelenting-optimism-all-the-time formula and still be good.

>>94364968

Thanks, sword!

>>94374548

Its easy. You can get whole seasons out of revisiting trek standvys rather than having to do the unspeakably hard work of coming up with something new.

With a prequel series, they can browse the wiki and pick something that looks cool.

"Exactly this, but FOR THE FIRST TIME!" They say, and then they break for lunch because most of the episide just wrote itself.

>>94376760
The Long Night has come.

>>94364200
Honestly, I'd rather have a continuation of the TNG/Nemesis storyline where we finally get either full on war or unsteady peace with Romulans (since they spent the entire St franchise teasing it), or a series set in TMP era, marrying that aesthetic with the episodic formula. Do like the animated series did and get away with more aliens and more nonhumanoid aliens because you can draw it. In the former, check up on the immortal Data, long-lived Worf, or middle aged Paris or Seven or Ezri for an episode or mini arc. Maybe even have a standard crew member be an older Bashir or something. For the later, explore a 100 year window of unexplored ideas.

Also pretend ENT didn't happen, since ENT spent so much time rewriting history it can get fucked.
