Oh dear & we had high hopes for this new series

Looked okay, but given that it was barely a trailer, I'm still looking forward to it.

I've read very little on this. When in the timeline, and which timeline, is it set?

When did "trailer reactions" become a big thing? I went on Youtube last night to look up trailers and it was flooded with "reactions". It was hard to find the actual trailers.

saw and loved the new film

Lol it's been like that for a while now, surprised that you haven't done one yourself, i did one ages ago, for one of The Force Awakens trailers, i may do one for when a full trailer of Rogue One comes out.

You wouldn't, we are too old for that nonsense.

You ate

I saw Star Trek Beyond yesterday, and I liked it. I didn't think it was as good as the 1st 2, but it was fun nonetheless. Balthazar Edison seemed to be too much of a cookie-cutter villain. Before, we had Khan, probably 1 of the greatest Trek villains ever, and even before that we had a psychotic Romulan who was a more believable threat. In the end, when Edison and Kirk are fighting in the air vent, I actually thought Edison was going to help Kirk at the very end to eject the virus (or whatever it was) into space and die in the locked vent. I'm glad they didn't do that, but instead kept him a villain who got exactly what he deserved at the end. Even so, the ending was anticlimactic. I did like the sequence where they used "Sabotage" to take out the swarm, even if I don't understand how they got them to explode. And what a perfect song for that situation. Also, I got major feels when Spock was looking at the photo of the original crew, as well as at the end dedications for Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin. I was afraid it would be too late for Anton, as he died after the movie was wrapped and finished, so I thought it might have been too late to edit it to include a tribute to him.
Overall, it was enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to the next film, with the Kirk family supposedly being the focus.

Here's a thing? Since they're going with this early design of a ship - Discovery(& i take it it's set in the early days, or if it were set in present future days of Star Trek...ie...like Voyager ect, then that ship would be a relic by now or in some museum(like Jayneway stated that Voyager was....on the grounds of the Presidio) i'm wondering if the Borg will be in it? coz on Enterprise, after the events of First Contact, Archer said that the borg did send a transmission into the Delta Quadrant to Borg living in that century, so it's entirely plausible that Borg do exist in this new shows timeline.

the borg would exist either way

and i dont feel the ships design looked very "early"

Here's a thing!

do you think it's possible that we'll ever see the Borg in any of the new films up n coming? Yeah i know.....it's highly doubtful, but would've loved to have seen a new Borg design....seeing as they gave us such radically different looking Klingons in Into Darkness.

& whose to say that it couldn't be done? coz we know that the Borg can travel to other realms/realities(fluidic space-ST Voy) & they can also travel back in time(First Contact) + we've already seen a TOS character(Spock) travel over from the original reality to this new series of films one.

Speaking of which....using Borg technology....we've already seen a character(TOS Kirk, The Return-Book) resurrected, so...i'm now wondering for Star Trek 4...in which Kirk's father is supposed to be in it(even after he was killed in the first film) if they use Borg tech to bring him back? If they don't use something else like time travel ect...to explain his return

ugh, that book wasn't even non-canon, it was Shatners very own fan-wank to bring his own character back to life.

I call it shat-wank.


Still, though as un official as it gets, it was a fun book.

Which Federation starship is the most powerful in terms of offense and defense in all of the TV series and movies?

At one point it was the Defiant. The Enterprise E was also built with more warfare than exploration in mind.

"radically different looking Klingons"????

boy talk about an exaggeration

Actually you got your "armor techs" mixed up as well as your timelines

you said it was Voyager with the futuristic ablative hull armor seen in the season 7 episode "Endgame"

so how the USS Prometheus seen only in the season 4 episode "Message in a bottle", use the futuristic ablative hull armor seen only in the season 7 episode "Endgame"???

the answer is nope, it couldnt.

for the record, the uss Prometheus used standard ablative hull armor tech, the same type used on the uss Defiant

Do read my statements properly....will you

I said.....ABLATIVE HULL ARMOUR STILL EXISTS now where in F!!! is the word FUTURUSTIC on there? so therefore i must've been referring to STANDARD ablative hull armour.


on another note....and for those who may follow the fan series Star Trek Continues

a new episode is now up....on youtube
