Star Trek
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!

This was a big week, we watched:
I do not think I had previously watched the cage, the LD is new to me, same with TAS.
My wife was blown away with the difference between III and IV, having never heard that odd numbered movies are bad and even numbered are great. I have not seen the search for Spock in many years, and while I remembered the premise, I forgot the specifics.
Quite the variety!
TAS is an interesting continuation of the show. Of course some of the episodes aren't that great, and the animation is very low budget, but there's some classic episodes in there too.
There is a big difference between those two! I'm not the biggest fan of a lot of the Trek movies, but IV is a fun way to spend two hours!
I have very fond memories of seeing II, III, and IV in the theatre with my uncles. And having been born after TOS, and TAS concluded being able to watch new Trek even at a very young age was the best thing. ST:II is one of my favorite pieces of Trek media.
something gross
I think in part because shortly after it was released I had a centipede take up residence in my ear canal, and it made me feel like I knew what was going on with Chekov.And not having seen, or not remembering have seen The Cage, Number One was a shocker!
Sounds like fun memories, other than being able to sympathize with Chekov! I should clarify that I don't dislike the movies, they just don't stand out to me like quite a few of the episodes do.
Number One is great! I wish they would have kept her in TOS, but having her in SNW is nice. Seeing the character in The Cage would have been surprising if you weren't expecting it!
