Blowing up Vulcan was kinda silly. So they took a mulligan on it with Discovery.
All sequels to Planet of the Apes after “Beneath” were a marketing afterthought. But it was fun to see Cornelius and Zara in our times. The following film was pretty subversive and made the racial subtext of the series more obvious. There were no subsequent films or TV series (worth acknowledging) except that one season animated one and the ones with Andy Serkis.
That was one of the many things I loved about DS9’s Little Green Men episode. The Earth “guidebook” given to Nog has a section on the Bell Riots and he mentions that Gabriel Bell looks a lot like Sisko. 
Star Trek, Revenge Of The Red Shirts.
I’d go see that one.
She wasn’t the only one… Pure bullshit that.
That aired back when the Star Trek fan club I was in was more active, and we had a watch party. Among the thirty-odd people in the room, the reaction to the Enterprise finale was pretty universally negative. Nobody liked that drama-for-drama’s-sake plot-twist, and since what we saw on-screen was only a holographic re-creation, the type of retcon the novel offers is perfectly plausible, IMHO, even if novels aren’t generally considered “canon.”
Yep…
For my head canon that book and the following Romulan series are Season 5 of the show. Plus the The Nog and Jake reading declassified reports bookend was [chefs kiss.gif]
Just read the novel.
Pike did die in at least one timeline. But then again what Star Trek character hasn’t?
That film gave us the magic blood! Pike will be back in the 4th film guaranteed 
I found it to be downright disturbing - from what happened to Amanda through the Spock interactions/discussions. 
I’ve always thought your comment about subtext was what made the ones with Andy Serkis so scary. Over the course of the series, it’s interesting to note which group viewers see as the antagonist (if it changed or remained the same). Reminds me a bit of this:
Emphasis and adjective added because it was so weird. Crusher inherits a nice house, but it’s infested with a centuries old incubus that she’s lonely enough to fall victim to. If only she and Picard had been a smidge bit more honest with each other…
@knoxblox: Clint Howard looks almost exactly the same today as he did in that TOS episode. 
@fnordius: This close to flagging for being wildly OT…
@akbar5656: #teamTripp too. ::sigh::
It was so fun to see him pop up in a Discovery cameo!
Isn’t that a bit pointless, as we’ve seen multiple parallel universes?
Maybe DS9 was set in the Mirror Universe
Hey, if people are kvetching about one space opera franchise eclipsing another, why not toss a third into the mix?
More on topic, I have been looking forward to Strange New Worlds ever since Anson Mount’s Pike was such a hit that Paramount decided to make a series on the spur of a moment. Disney properties leave me cold.
Let’s hope Warner can pull its head out of its ass.
OMG, I swear I opened a can of worms here. Sorry. XD
That’s why it is always best to serve fresh gagh, never canned.
Edit: there is a lower decks idea! Mariner gets in on a business venture to develop canned gagh. The cans are cryo chambers keeping the gagh fresh on long space flights.
While we may all disagree on the right direction for Trek. Maybe we can all agree that a drinking game involving lens flares would now be fatal?
(Finally restarting Discovery season 4. Other than some so dramatic it’s nearly satire moments. I’m interested in where this is going)
