Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

Nice! I've wondered how the show would have turned out with Hunter as the lead. There obviously wouldn't have been movies afterward due to his death, so maybe TNG and the rest of the shows would have never happened. Or maybe he would have been busy with Star Trek and wouldn't have had time for the movie where the accident happened. Too many what ifs!

Hard to say, but if he had become the lead, then we'd have missed... out... on... Shatner... as... Kirk. ;)

That... would have been... a great... loss... for all of us. ;)

I do think Shatner did very good in the role, and although I've noticed the more deliberate way he delivered his lines, it never bothered me.
