This week's episode of Discovery, still in the Mirror Universe... Loved it!

Haven't seen the show but do you think they are rushing in to do a mirror episode?

I did think that. But I'm enjoying it so much I don't care.

I'm hesitant to say more than like/don't like since you and others haven't seen it yet. Maybe I'll say more when we all buy it on DVD/BLU...

Happy Birthday Voyager 23 years old today

That just makes me feel so old...

On season 7 (the final season) and wished they had an episode with Dr. Pulaski in it, just to wrap things up.

Also didn't like how they never really explain where Ro was this whole time. Last episode was where she became a kid. Then almost 2 years later she comes in at the 2nd to last episode of the series. Yes I know Actress Michelle Forbes was busy doing other tv shows and they wanted her on DS9 but they should have said she got transferred or something during that long stretch of her being MIA

OK cool almost done with season 7. Turns out I missed 2 episodes first was Season 6 Episode 3 "Man of the people" and season 7 episode Emergence

The Nerdist has done a Tarantino-style Star Trek trailer:

Well done watching TNG (and Enterprise) now onto DS9. Looking forward to seeing it again. I have not seen DS9 since it's original run. I know of at least 3 episodes I have not seen. Besides the original series and the movies don't think the other 4 series ever aired on sy/fy. Think Voyager and DS9 aired on Spike TV like 15 years ago. I know BBCA plays TNG and Voyager now.

That was pretty good but I would have added

With the exception of Terry Farell (Dax) the cast has some very unusual first names.

Avery

Rene (for a man)

Cirroc

Colm

Nana

Armin

Siddig (later changed to Alexander)

He was at one time considered for the role of Benjamin Sisko, the station commander of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993). However, he was apparently considered too young. The role eventually went to Avery Brooks. However, the producers were impressed enough with Siddig and offered him the role of Dr. Julian Bashir.

NO SPOILERS, but...
Great twist on Discovery this week!! Loved it.

OK morningsong and djthunderfunk, pick out any type of flaw in Star Trek

OK DS9 episode "The Foresaken" Odo and Lwaxana are trap in a elevator. Can't beam them out because transporters on the station are off line. Ok can't they just use the transporters on one of the runabouts???

Episode "The Enemy within" Sulu and the landing party are stranded on a planet because the transporters are not safe to use. Ok can't they just use one of the many shuttles they have to pick them up?

While the Enterprise does house a fleet of shuttlecraft, this feature of the ship had not yet been introduced in the series, thus the reason they are not suggested to retrieve Sulu's endangered away-team. However, when they were introduced later in the season, they were presented as having always been around, making this a plot hole.


I remembered looking that up because I wondered the same thing.

Season 1 many of the episodes were aired out of order.

I'm sure that episode had quite a few people scratching their heads. A lot of shows do that out of order thing. I guess it to try and hook the audience in especially if you don't have set sequenced storylines.

There were several episodes later on in which they were stuck on a planet and couldn't be beamed off for some reason like -

OK for DS9 Kai Winn was the worse. At least with Dukat what you see is what you get. In the very first episode to feature her she tries to kill Bareil

Wonder why the Enterprise crew did not change their uniforms to match up with DS9/Voyager. Isn't the Enterprise the flag ship of the fleet? Then why were they behind the times. DS9 even changed their uniforms to match TNG uniforms in the movies

Hoping for their own movie?
