It was always weird to me that, after 7 years playing Picard, as soon as they started making movies, Patrick Stewart’s instinct was to play him as an action hero 🤦

All of that beach buggy stunt driving in Nemesis should have gone on the editing floor.

Yeah, they went on their research expedition because apparently rumours about those weird transhumanist Swedes had already reached the Federation? Again, 18-20 years before “Q who”… The timeline is messed up, even before we consider time travel.

Edit: spelled “weird” weird.

Don’t forget Doctor Giger’s Cellular Regeneration and Entertainment Chamber!

Yyyyeahhhh… 😬 That’s not exactly planned out.

Also, the idea that Borg are fine with other beings running around their ships as long as you don’t point a phaser at them, or other aggressive gesturing I suppose. That’s out the window by the time of VOY “Dark frontier”, Janeway and Tuvok are carrying phaser rifles at the ready all around the Borg sphere.

Frankly, I never saw the salamander thing as a real downside to transwarp 🦎

What? It was explained that the church and the people in it were yanked from certain destruction in WWIII to Terralysium by the red angel. It is spelled out in the season arc.

You don’t like Disco, fine. But your lack of attention to the story is not the show’s fault.

Scotty was simply that good at tweaking the engines. That, or the crew were just playing to Kirk’s ego, pretending to go super fast à la "this amp goes to 11” while they trundled along at warp 7.

I’m watching VOY at the moment, and it makes no sense how Seven of Nine’s parents would have made contact with and been assimilated by the Borg, decades before Q threw the Enterprise-D across the galaxy to make (what we assumed to be) first contact with them.

In “Q who”, meeting the Borg is portrayed like blood in the water — now they have learned of the Federation, they will not stop until you are assimilated. Except oh wait, they did assimilate those three humans several years before, so they would have already known about the Federation.

Geez, I’m so tired of this “AI” shit. What a waste of time and energy 🤬

Wait, Christina Pike is a man? /s

José Tyler that’s the character she is based on

Nope, she’s clearly a completely different character. Tyler would have been on the crew during “The cage”, which takes place before the events of Discovery s2. According to his Memory Alpha entry:

By 2258, Tyler would be superseded as navigator by Lt. Amin. (DIS: “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2”)

Also, Tyler is listed on Memory Alpha as navigator, Ortegas as senior helmsman. Sure, it’s a fan wiki, but Trekkies are sticklers for these things.

LOL, now Discovery’s depiction of 32nd century technology is going to look even more underwhelming.

Ugh, yeah. That tracks with Goldman’s unfortunate Kirk fetish that, like his Gorn head canon, has broken established Trek continuity throughout SNW.

Oh, that was just an early Genesis prototype Carol Marcus had left behind. Or something.

I probably failed to properly emoji my post as a joke. I’ve no experience with card collecting, digital or physical, so NFTs was the first place my mind went. But as I said, not in complete sincerity.

I’ve held out buying the Trek branded Fluxx games, seems they’re out of print (licence expired?). So I take your recommendation that the generic Star Fluxx pack is a good substitute 🙂

“Digital”… “collectible”… 🤔

Are we doing NFTs again already?!

Huh. I’ve never had much interest in the comics versions, but I like the mood of those samples, and the Ferengi character. For a second I thought it was Quark; I guess he’s the most available photo reference ;)

I’ll always question why they need to keep using Kirk, but I’ll give this a shot… just for the horror of it all.

Uh huh. And I guess he just happens to have a vested interest in suggestion for an European alternative?

You’re assuming everybody in this conversation is American? 🤔 I for one am not part of the “we” you describe there…
