My understanding is that they didn’t really think through on the Temporal Cold War. It was an idea that was insisted by UPN, so nobody in the staff was all that invested in. Consider, there’s only like five episodes in total across the first two sea…

So far I like him in DISCO. We never really got to see too much of what Starfleet officers/captains were like of this era, which now feels like a bit of an oversight in previous seasons. All we knew in 3 and 4 was Admiral Vance and the head of St…

I had been saying that ever since I saw him on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA haha. I like that S5 is a basically an archeological adventure connected to TNG’s “The Chase”. I guess we’ll see how that pays off.

I’d settle for an alternate universe where Dalton continued with GE and so on, and we’d still get Craig down the line for CR later. Sorry, Brosnan.

It’s a shame American audiences didn’t seem to connect with him as Bond.

I remember fans complaining that the touch screen computers featured in QOS were “too sci-fi”, even though such tech had already been around for awhile, most notably with the iPhone’s debut just a year earlier.

IIRC Nightfire was supposed to have a generic Bond model, and Brosnan was added at the relatively late. MGM wanted Brosnan’s likeness featured because both the game and DAD were coming out around the same time, so it just made sense have them featur…

AVATAR is probably my least favorite of Cameron’s. But AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER? Best Cameron movie since T2. That’s what I thinking during the climax in the theater. I couldn’t have been more surprised by how much I got sucked into the movie the wa…

There’s so many plot holes in “Terra Nova” that even the creator of show named it the weakest of the season. Why did the colony think Earth was attacking them? Why did the colony object to the idea of more colonists, given that it’s an entirely unin…

Bigotry is just insanity no matter what social media platform.

We’ll honestly not know if Eon has anything to announce until they schedule a press conference. That’s really the only indication we’ll know they’re onto something. If I had to guess, I don’t think we’ll hear a thing about an actor officially cas…

I don’t think I’ve set foot there since the early years of Craig’s run. I do remember initially enjoying a good spirited debate with a few members there who were at least welcoming of fans who liked Craig in the part. But I do remember the mood in t…

@bjmdds made an infamous comeback and nobody told me??? :))

Of the classic Trek shows, DS9 definitely lends itself better to binge watching a lot more than the others due to its more serialized storytelling. It’s easy to call it a night when you end it with TNG’s “Data’s Day”, but not so easy if you’re in th…

This is an interesting chart. https://x.com/starfleetdesign/status/1772111358487625907 I suspect TNG has such a strong viewership for S1 because so many want to just start at the beginning but it’s the worst season so they naturally drop off. …

I can understand people who enjoy early ENT if they’re nostalgic for the Rick Berman productions because it definitely maintains the production style of TNG/DS9/VOY like a well oiled machine. The only difference behind the scenes is that most who ha…

”Broken Bow” is probably the strongest episode of the season, and even the show creator Brannon Braga admitted that he felt the first season peaked with its premiere. The only thing I would have changed in the pilot is swap the guest Klingon char…
-
Eh, I don’t think S1 or 2 is a good reflection of Captain Archer. “Strange New World” (the episode, not the series) is like a prime example of making Archer to look like a total doofus who seems to want to wing it. There’s this approach in the first…

The show looks its best in S4, ironically because of the switch from celluloid film to digital cameras (the same ones Lucas used). Converting film footage to HD masters was rather imperfect in the early 2000s. Which makes me wish the first three sea…

I swear this forum is the only place on Earth where folks drop Aidan Turner’s name and from what I’ve seen he’s as boring of a choice as Henry Cavill.

I don’t believe in Eon’s denial of there being script. In all of their existence there has ALWAYS been a script in development, even during long hiatuses. Eon is incredibly coy about behind the scenes stuff.
-
Honestly, we’ll only know for sure that Eon had picked an actor if they set plans for a big press release. Eon LOVES nothing more than big press releases. I’d say we should wait for that sort of thing before seriously considering that something big …
