The current movie series should get the mothball treatment.

The newest Star Trek movies are really good Star Wars movies.... if that makes sense.   They aren't bad, in fact, pretty good, just not really Star Trek.  But I don't think a Star Trek movie would sell well.

TV is what is needed for Trek to really be Trek but I'm not sure I trust network TV to be handling the new one :(.

Its going to be 13 episodes with a single story line. Producer worked on DS9 and VOY among other things. I've given up hope for anything really good Trekwise since TNG ended, so it's not that big of a deal for me whether it works or not.

Just now hearing about a new show. Last night on George Norry, talk about ST and the new show. Going to be on CBS premium (whatever the name of it is) . So rating won't drive it, but subscriptions. Bryan Fuller the writer behind Hannibal and lots of ST will be running this, and after what NBC did to Hannibal can't blame him for taking it to pay tv.

no not really, the time for us old school Trekkers is long gone. We glommed onto the Roddenberry 1970s fan manipulation that got us our original cast movies and TNG, after that it was just Paramount squeezing it dry. It would be great to see ST: Beyond and this new show get back to the things we want - ethics, moral dilemmas that make us think, and great writing - but I'm never surprised when they don't happen.

Agreed this was the best part of the original series. But the TNG sucked. Piccard is a pussy, and #1...bleh.

Wrath of Kahn was great, that's the peak for the return me thinks. I do like the revisit going on now though. I can use a little action, can't wait for this one the 22nd.

    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
    • He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
