Voyager wrecked them for me.
Don't ever read the expanded universe novels for Star Trek then... because if you think Voyager killed Borg... the Books both figuratively and literally did so in the stupidest ways imaginable.

Wow.. I admit, that makes me pretty damn excited lol.It sounds like this dude is intentionally trying to hurt me by setting my expectations that damn high.

I recently read the books that finished up the Borg in the EU. Holy crap. They were beyond awful how they resolved the Borg and their origin.
Adam Pranica, one of the guys who does The Greatest Generation podcast (which is hilarious btw, well worth checking out.) was at the premier and said this:
They are going do some special shows reviewing the new series every week.
Nice!
I think there should be a new thread.
The origin wasn't awful IMO. Not great, but I could see that being played out in Trek... but the literal dues ex machina was stupid, cheap, and absolutely pointless. It throws out all of the work they did during the series to weaken and beat the borg. I'd have much rather seen the freed borg eventually overthrow/destroy the borg. Not only would that feel much more earned, it'd lead to far more interesting story lines.
What happens to the freed borg after the collective collapse? This would be a HUGE universe wide crisis as trillions of people who look like mechanical freaks have to choose between starting over with their fellow freed borg, or trying to reintegrate with their home species knowing they'll face huge discrimination and other issues. There'd almost certainly be military minded former borg that would want to use the technology to conquer as well.
Holy crap there could have been SO MUCH done with such an amazing setup, and instead...Nah brahs, we got the borg. They're cool with us we're just going to take them and never be seen again. Universe saved!
But him getting a writer's credit doesn't mean things weren't changed and parts rewritten after he left. If the series changed direction they'd obviously change Fuller's episodes to fit that new direction.
But I don't really care who wrote what, all I want is the show to be good and somfarmit seems to be very good.
Nope, I still don't like the design.Diecast model of the Discovery in the works.

With the nacelle changes I've become fine with it. Those were the biggest issue giving it an awkward shape. The saucer holes seem overdesigned and superfluous but not a deal breaker. I'm glad they took some feedback.
Now if only the bridge wasn't a bluegasm.
2017: "Doug Jones' dialogue in this show is kind of ridiculous."
2020: "I'm glad the writers eased up a bit and let Doug Jones make fun of his early dialogue choices."
2026: "You should check out Star Trek: Discovery. The first season's kinda rocky, though."
Continue the trend, Discovery. Continue the trend of improvement over time.
And why is it brown? The NX-01 had a slight copper tint to it but nothing like this.

Ha, I'm sure there's better examples of an Enterprise pizza cutter than one with an oval saucer.
Just heard about the CBS subscription requirement in the US. Do they really expect people to sign up for it to watch?? I feel like viewership is gonna be really low

Wait, you have 108 models of Trek ships? How many rooms do you need to store/display them?I'm going to get probably the first of these when it comes out, but I'm not happy they've decided to make the Discovery ships their own subscription separate from the existing Star Trek Starships collection that's been going on for 4 years. We're 108 issues in, along with a bunch of specials in which they managed to work in Kelvin timeline ships but they apparently couldn't do the same thing with Discovery.

still garbage design. Is it a pizza cutter?
Is this broadcast in 4k?
Folks.
We have a new Star Trek series that starts in three days.
I'm so unbelievely happy. ^_^

Looks aside, what possible sense would it make to have a saucer in two pieces like that? Connected by 4 tiny spokes, no less.
You've greatly decreased the interior space of the saucer yet you've also make it structurally weaker and made it more expensive to build because you have more outside surface area.
Its probably embargoed too lolOT is going up when?
