Looks like the Kelvin Timeline is dead

You all are making me feel old.

Great lineup, I can definitely see them all in the cockpit. Exciting!

Why are they trying to assimilate mankind? Didn’t they use to assimilate races to get technological advances? What can they get by assimilating a bunch of savages which barely survived a world war?

That one’s easy. Humans are an integral part of the Federation. Without humanity in the way their conquest of the Alpha Quadrant would be simple.

The biggest Borg retcon that always and still does bother me, is having 7 of 9’s parents be scientists who specialize in the study of the Borg. The Borg had no interest in the Alpha Quadrant until Q dragged the Enterprise into the Delta Quadrant to mess with Picard. And yet somehow years prior you have people studying them? Makes no sense.

He doesn’t even have a scar on his chin!

For fun:

I imagine there would be a physical media release eventually?

I reserve physical media purchases for things I’ve already seen and know I like, or perhaps something I feel I’m extremely likely to enjoy. I don’t have enough faith in any franchise beginning with “Star” at this point to blind-buy media.

Once it’s on physical media I can get it from Netflix. Although I never do that with TV shows, I reserve that one-disc-at-a-time for movies I want to see that aren’t available to stream on Netflix or Amazon (which is most movies these days, unfortunately).

Streaming has incredibly limited options, especially for older films and brand new releases.

I dunno, I can find pretty much anything I’m looking for on Vudu to rent.

The last Jedi is on Netflix streaming. Anybody else surprised by this? So is Rogue one. But I think it’s just those two.

I assume it was a pre-existing deal from the TFA days. Clone Wars is still on there too.

All of their new films will continue to be released on Netflix through March of next year. Captain Marvel will be the last.

A live-action “Star Wars” series coming to the platform from Jon Favreau, the director of films like “Iron Man” and “The Jungle Book,” is expected to cost roughly $100 million for 10 episodes. “‘Star Wars’ is a big world, and Disney’s new streaming service affords a wonderful opportunity to tell stories that stretch out over multiple chapters,” Mr. Favreau said in an email.

Who said it’s set in DSC’s timeframe? A post-TNG series about Picard doesn’t have to reference DSC at all.

By definition it wouldn’t be DSC then, if it made no reference to or connection with DSC. That’d be like a TNG arc that followed the Enterprise-C, and yet never airing Yesterday’s Enterprise to make any of it relevant to the “next generation”.

Picard is getting a new series, this has nothing to do with STD.

Back to the prime universe, baby!

I thought that’s what STD was all about.

PICARD IS BACK!

That’s Wilford back when he originally crashed on Endor. 😉

Having Hayden Christensen appear in IX is my single biggest fear for the film.

If that were to happen I’d have to write off the entire ST and I’d rather not do that. =/

I had that happen once. I only ever bought and owned one physical copy of Jedi Outcast and yet one day I found a second box in my closet!

Lando should have been in this trilogy from the start.

Nah

Well that doesn’t sound very inclusive.

LOL. That Season 2 trailer is laughably terrible. Now my anti-desire to watch Discovery is petrified.

That was terrible. Is that the usual tone of that series? Felt like it was trying to be The Orville (which I’m not crazy about anyways).

No. The entire first season they were trying to be edgy. It was overly dark and serious.

It really does feel like they’re trying to ape The Orville now.

pittrek said:

One thing I noticed is the final scene (or at least it’s final in the Netflix version) - the scene in the elevator - it really reminds me on The Orville. Not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Speaking of which…

THE ORVILLE | Season 2: Comic-Con 2018 Official Trailer

Solid list though I’d say that Winter Soldier and Civil War are required viewing for understanding where the world is at currently. Plus they’re both among the best of the MCU.

As thread OP I’d kindly ask you to take this discussion to the appropriate thread. Thank you!

Jay said:

Anyway, I got burned out on all the comic book movies right around Iron Man 2 (or was it 3?) and I have a lot of catching up to do. Do I need to watch everything in order to understand Avengers or are there any movies I can safely skip?

I would recommend starting from Winter Soldier and continuing on from there. Just about everything after that ties into Infinity War and it’s a solid run (save for Ultron).

Star Trek: Discovery - Season Two Premiere | First-Look Trailer

I guess that shows how much interest there is in this show. This trailer released two days ago and the only reason I found out about it is by accident.

Your post comes off as trying to blame Dave for Ahsoka and the resurrection of Darth Maul. Both of which were in fact ideas straight from George. Though I will give you that Ahsoka’s fate is in Dave’s hands.

You know both of those decisions came from George Lucas, right?

during the 80s, the films were literally the only Star Wars content available.

They had two whole seasons recorded before it was cancelled.

What do you mean by recorded? Because if you mean what I think, I find that hard to believe.

Voice recording. Dee Bradley Baker has come out and said as much.

I somehow doubt very much that that’s actually true.

The Lost Missions were 13 episodes long. They’ve publicly shown an additional eight episodes in rough animatic form, comprised of two arcs, the second of which was the season 7 opener. As well as a glimpses of fully voiced scenes from two other arcs that were four episodes long each.
