I think it would be hilarious if Shatner turned up on the set, and said “Good Luck! We’re all counting on you!” 😉

He’s probably too pissed that he’s not in it.

From the creators of The Captains and Chaos on the Bridge comes a new documentary for Deep Space Nine, What We Left Behind, and I am so excited I practically wet myself. The IndieGoGo campaign went up for it yesterday, and they’ve already raised more over $40,000 more than they asked for. Check it out! Its release can’t come soon enough for me.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

What does Shatner need with good luck?

If those are going to be Klingons then that is very disappointing. I’m also pretty disappointed that we’ll likely never see DS9 or Voyager on bluray. I know that there was no plan for it, but last week an article was published stating that it would take nearly 50 million dollars to do it, and that’s just simply not going to happen.

It does seem heavily influenced by early TMP concept art for the Klingons.

There had better be a damn good explanation for it if they are Klingons though.

I’m hoping this is a redesign of how the USS Discovery will look on the show. It’s a nice upgrade to the NX-01 Enterprise. The Klingon look does not bother me. I went through the entire shock-factor thing with the change of Klingon design in 1979 with The Motion Picture and have lone since gotten over it. Having a stronger depiction of a more savage war like non-human alien race appeals to me. On of the major reasons I could not get into “Enterprise” was due to all the alien races being so very similar to humans.

Glad I own TOS on BD. Wish it got the same restoration for the OG 60’s shots similar to what TNG received for BD. The Motion Picture I have the Director’s Edition, the fan restoration DVD of the Special Longer Version, and the BD with Nissens custom cover. The Wrath of Khan I have the corrected Director’s Edition BD with custom cover by Nissen since I consider the Mondo artwork to be shit. The Search for Spock and The Voyage Home BDs. The Undiscovered Country 2-Disc DVD and the BD. First Contact the BD. Trek 2009 on BD.
Need to get the BD boxsets for TNG and ENT. 3D BD for Into Darkness and Beyond. Star Trek Compendium for '09 and Into Darkness. For DS9 and VOY I can just rent the DVDs from Netflix or borrow them from a friend. Haven’t seen all the episodes. The rest of the movies I’ll catch up on too but really hoping for 4K remasters of them eventually. Cause the current TOS and TNG movie BDs, barring TWoK DE BD, all use antiquated older HD masters. Except TMP received a new scan for the Theatrical Cut.

Nope, it’s a different ship. On the storyboards you see in the same trailer they use still the same design

You never watched the Xindi arc? They had insects and aquatic species among their ranks.

Yes I did, and that was one of the few things I did like. Too bad they were mostly just in the background.

You’ll have to ask the makers of TMP that question.

Nice one - looking forward to hearing about more of this 😃

I sort of lost interest in Trek due to Voyager and the poor start of Enterprise - as well as not having high expectations for the Discovery series (so far) and also a bit disappointed with the new films (as enjoyable ‘pop-corn movies riffing on the old stuff’ as they are).

That Axenar premise looked quite intriguing though.

If this ‘What We Left Behind’ comes to fruition I’ll have to dig out an re-read the excellent DS9 Companion once more 😃

As a person who has seen the TOS movies before TOS, I have no problem with THAT change. I would probably accept the redesign if the new show would take place in let’s say the 27th century

If TNG were on-air today, it would have been cancelled in the first season.
