I believe it, I was alive then too. What I can't believe is how worthless money has become.
A Cagney and Lacy marathon on the big screen, eh? I didn't' know they had those back then. An early version of Fathom Events.

Great Nose! About time it got the recognition it deserved.

The big news for April was Paramount’s new CEO announcing that the studio had not just one, but two Star Trek films in development. One was the previously announced follow-up to Star Trek Beyond, and the other was a new (and “seperate”) film, based on an idea from Quentin Tarantino. While this may look like it’s part of expanded “Star Trek Cinematic Universe,” Scotty actor Simon Pegg says it at least didn’t start with some grand plan.
Speaking to Film School Rejects while promoting his new film Terminal, Pegg explained why there are two films currently in the works:
QuoteI think it was a coincidence. We were gearing up for [Star Trek 4] and getting ready for that and then Quentin strolled into Bad Robot one day and said listen to this. It was just really interesting and I think it just got out and so everyone started talking about it. And also, Star Trek is kind of, with Discovery and stuff, it’s in the public conscious. It never left it, really. It’s entering its second 50 years. I think it’s great that it’s being talked about so much.
Turning a corner towards production on Star Trek 4
Pegg also clarified again that he and his Star Trek Beyond writing partner Doug Jung are not involved with penning Star Trek 4, as that is being done by John Payne and Patrick McKay. The actor also noted the recent hiring of director S.J. Clarkson was a sign that production on Star Trek 4 is nearing:
QuoteWith S.J. attached, it feels like we’re starting to round the corner on actual production. I am hoping to get more info soon. They keep us in the dark as much as they can because they know we always get asked questions.
Doesn’t think Tarantino Trek will be Pulp Fiction in space
With regards to the Tarantino Star Trek project, currently being penned by Mark L. Smith, Pegg again talked about being excited by the notion and tried to allay any fears fans may have that the film could introduce the kind of over-the-top violence which Tarantino is best known for. Speaking to ComingSoon Pegg said:
QuoteEveryone sort of assumes it’s gonna be like “Pulp Fiction” in space, but I think his devotion to “Trek” and his understanding of it… It won’t be ordinary, it’ll have him all over it, but it won’t be anything a “Star Trek” fan will have to worry about. He has an acute understanding of the story and he’d never do anything to tear it down.
Recently Pegg has noted that he doesn’t even know if he will be in the Tarantino Trek film, but that may soon change as he told ComingSoon he could soon be in the loop:
I haven’t read the treatment yet, but I might be able to in the next couple of weeks, so I’m excited about that.

Nick Meyer spoke last night at a Shakespeare and Star Trek event at the UCI School of Humanities, where he explained a comment made last year that he was “working on another Star Trek project” that would be a miniseries.
An audience member at the event asked him about that miniseries. “A while back there were reports that you might be working on a Star Trek miniseries, is there any truth to that, if you’re allowed to say anything about that?”
“No, I can say something,” replied Meyer. “I was hired to write a stand-alone Star Trek-related trilogy, [details of which] I can’t discuss or I’d have to kill you. I was writing it for CBS [All] Access...but at the moment CBS is at a war with Paramount/Viacom[about merging].
“They’re in a power struggle which turned really nasty this past week when CBSdecided to sue Viacom. So I don’t think my project is going anywhere in a hurry, because everything is on hold while they sort out this merger business. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.”

Yeah, it's pretty bad.
-
Yep, mine too! I do still have a handful of little, non-posable figures, unassembled models, some tiny ships and a couple unopened collectibles. I also have a box of Star Trek Ongoing comic books but I am planning to sell those back to the store to make room for two Discovery series currently running which are better, imo.

Star Trek: Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis Reunite on 'Discovery' Set
Jonathan Frakes has been hard at work directing the second episode of the second season of Star Trek: Discovery. During the shoot, he had a visitor related to his best-known role in the Star Trek franchise.
Marina Sirtis, Frakes’ Star Trek: The Next Generation co-star, visited the Star Trek: Discovery set in Toronto.

What happened to them... did your Mom throw them out with your comic books?
-
-
LOL!
Yeah we probably could assemble them without our glasses.
-
Yeah. Joan Collins.
I just recently heard she is going to be on this up coming season of American Horror Story.
-
They seem reasonably priced, I guess. Drop hints for them as a BD gift.

Vic knows all, sees all.
Actually it is an RSS feed from Startrek. com.

They're coming to get you, Bethlehem. lol ;-)
-
It was incredible.
After episode 14 I was chewing my nails expecting the dreaded reset button. That they resolved those issues without pushing it is amazing.
I plan to have a couple entire season 1 rewatches before next season
Star Trek Lives!

Don't worry, he's okay.

Hilarious video on the subject.

15 hours ago, Bethlehem said:It sounds like over all Trek fans are enjoying the new series. Maybe I will break down next year and pay for it.
Season one ends in a few weeks. Wait till it does then, if it's still available, subscribe to the free trial and binge the whole season one in a weekend. If free trial isn't available, buy one month, watch, then suspend the account until season two is available.

Not the greatest interpretation of (the filthy! lol) Tellarites we've seen imo, but the rest were fine with me. Loved Mirror Sarek, especially. And his response to the meld with Burnham...SHOCKING!
-
It is always darkest before the dawn. ;-)
Wow is right. The Tyler reveal was speculated of but as executed, no one could say for absolute certainty. That they kept that secret for so long is amazing! As usual I cannot wait to see what they have up their sleeves next...
Is the current Emperor descent of Hoshi Sato?
Is Lorca originally from the MU?
Will Stamets and M Stamets combine to become Q? LOL! Kidding but I do expect them to do some kind of miracle together.
-
Sorry, no. My Netflix que is pretty full of older material I am still working though. Thanks for the heads up though, maybe someday...

I know the bots are congregating on this thread but just ignore them.

Agreed. Having a look at this EW first look (spoilers >>>) http://ew.com/tv/2018/01/14/star-trek-discovery-aliens/ I see Mirror Voq makes an appearance. I soo hope he and (surgically altered prime Voq to become) Tyler have a scene together.
Andorians!

Some people are saying when they went back and listened again later they could hear the other word.
