Yeah I used to love them but they've gotten to the stage where time travel is used to rewrite canon or introduce new timelines so they can create more stories in established trek time periods and recast old favourite characters in the hope old fans won't mind as it's an alternate reality. This one looks like another Q thing which are never known to cause permanent changes but instead create interesting and infuriating challenges for Picard to get pissed off over.

Definitely excited. Time travel to the date of production has been used to great effect in The Voyage Home (TOS movie), Past Tense (DS9) or Future's End (VOY), and all of those were great.
Please send me a message on the forum before contacting me over IM. For best results, also mention what you want to talk about, I am not much of a smalltalker.

Yeah those were good episodes although Past Tense was set in 21st century not 1990s. We're approaching that time period and awaiting these Sanctuary Districts to be formed. Fortunately we've avoided the Eugenics wars of the late 20th century 😂

There are 5 star trek shows releasing this year, we're really spoiled for choice now

Funny how in 2005 Star Trek was cancelled due to franchise fatigue after five shows spanning almost 40 years but suddenly it's perfectly ok to have 5 churned out at the same time.

Anything that makes money for the streaming platforms. But hey, as long as they keep being the quality they've released so far, I'm not complaining

Interesting premise. Should be good.

I hope so but I hoped the first season would be good and I was left disappointed.

Yes I did expect better but I guess with the way TV has gone now Star Trek was bound to go down hill into dark gloomy storylines too

Looks good.

Also looking forward to Strange New World's which looks like it could be a bit more of the traditional trek

I'm hoping so but there's the danger of prequel that things are included because they have to be and we expect it and anything else looks out of place kinda like the Xindi war and the Suliban in Enterprise

I heard something about a new Star Trek tv series some time ago but I had totally fogotten about it.

That's going to make it five on the go at once now and these aren't on TV as such, bloody paramount plus unless you're still in a region where they haven't taken it off Netflix and Amazon
