I think those happened in September, so yep. Pretty much.
A couple of things that shows just how much they got right, is the fact that there is a tech-bro who thinks he’s on the side of the angels, and then they cut off the internet just as the rebels were talking about why they were angry (just think about what some authoritarian regimes do when they get uprisings).
Really so prescient.
August (August 30 – September 3) - A transporter accident sends Starfleet officersBenjamin Sisko, Julian Bashir, and Jadzia Daxto the San Francisco of this year. Sisko and Bashir are taken to the city’s Sanctuary District A, where Gabriel Bell is accidentally killed because of their presence. Sisko saves history by taking Bell’s role in the later-named eponymous Bell Riots, resulting in his photobeing implemented as Bell’s image in all future Starfleet records.
Don’t lose your papers!
Is Paramount Plus the primary avenue for streaming Star Trek these days?
It is, but I don’t have it, so I wait to get shows on DVD… I also like having the extras that come with the extras. Like the last season of Discovery had a one documentary focused on Sonequa Martin-Green, where she discusses how much the relationship between Burnam and Book means to her, and how she struggled with her racial identity… and another that had a Martin-Green/Stacey Abrams lovefest!
Thanks! This whole thread is making me jones for the shows. I might end up going the Paramount Plus route for a few months to get my fix.
You absolutely should, if you want a quick Trek fix! It’s would be cheaper than buying all the various series, of course! As far as I know, they have all Trek series available to stream. TNG and DS9 used to be on Netflix, but are gone now…
I got lucky because T-mobile’s Internet service finally reached my area. They offered a free year of Paramount+ as a sign-up bonus! 
I love some episodes of DS9, but can’t put the series at the top of my list. Had a few issues with the casting and relationships, plus it had a lot of war episodes (same reason I skipped over a lot of ST: Enterprise). 
The exploration interests me more, from TOS and TNG to Voyager, as well as Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Discovery.
Gotta catch up on Picard next, starting with the second half of Season 2. After that, I might take a trip down memory lane with TAS. Might check out Prodigy after the second season is released and binge watch from the beginning.
ETA: Looks like they’re trying to reach viewers in more countries, too:
I recalled his name from an article about Trek authors, the same where it mentioned Ray Bradbury giving the series a polite but hard pass. Asimov was also approached, and also declined as he didn’t want to be sucked into writing screenplays.
Everyone remembers Larry Niven actually adopting his Kzinti for the animated series, right? Or is it just us older Trekkers?
Oh, and does anyone bother to differentiate between Trekkies and Trekkers any more?
Oh, and I have to confess I never really watched a lot of Voyager or Enterprise, it came about when I was a full-on Babylon 5 fan. I’m just an old fart who doesn’t really like Brannon Braga Trek all that much. Even the omnipresent soundtrack during episodes bores me.
They’ve brought the Kzinti back recently. Apparently Michael Chabon wrote to Niven and asked permission to mention them in Picard, and Niven said yes. Since then there’s been a Kzinti background character in Lower Decks, most notably he was one of the “Redshirts” that Boimler hung around with to try and get promoted in one episode.
I watched TOS in its original run on tv. I guess to me it’s hard to call yourself a fan if the only thing that you really like about the show is the occasional guest writers who accounted for less than 1% of the episodes. They didn’t conceive the different series, produce them or maintain them. And wrote a tiny sample of them.
Striking that balance is difficult, even more so on TV with executives sniffing down production people’s necks (It is a regional idioma that probably Will be Lost in translation).
Hey, where did you get the idea that it was the only thing I liked about the series? And this just after I said I liked Strange New Worlds? I didn’t even mention that I loved Discovery, and that I found Picard better than its reputation because of how to handled the idea of who actually needed redemption.
To reiterate: I liked how Star Trek was not the comfort food most of us remember from the end of Brannon Braga’s helming of the series, but how the makers of TOS, TAS, TNG and even DS9 took risks. Granted, NuTrek played the “save the galaxy in 10 episodes or less” card, but we forgive them because the stories have heart, the acting is good. I can forgive the drifting into cliches. But it is doing what Trek does best: tell stories.
And why?
Because Trek still has good bones. It’s a future we still want to believe in, even if we know now that in 250 years our future may be more like The Expanse than the United Federation of Planets. I personally love the premise that to explore the stars, we have to leave our petty disputes behind.
Let’s not fall into More Trekkie Than Thou disputes. You are a good happy mutant, and I hate the thought of being at lock horns with you.
Great… let’s get back to talking about Trek then…
Anyone watch For All Mankind? It’s been described by the writers - many of whom are Trek and BSG alumni and Ron Moore is the showrunner - as a potential path from the Cold War to the future of Star Trek. I binged it late last year and loved it. You’ll believe Joel Kinnaman can act!
Just checked with my Trekker experts (I’m a mere fan, I wouldn’t make the subs bench of the quiz team) and Paramount + has launched in Europe but Picard season 3 will still be on Amazon prime in the UK and Ireland.
So share your access folks!
Treksperts, I think you mean!
