Forgot about that animated show. I only count SG-1, Atlantis and Universe as canon and I only like SG-1 and Atlantis personally.

Recently rewatched the first 6 Trek films. For as bad as V is, love that line since I also love Bourbon and baked beans ;)

Bourbon and beans, an explosive combination.

Ship in the Bottle is such a great episode and ending for the character, though I wish his appearance in Picard wasn’t just a short cameo.

I have both the snes classic and pixel remaster version, wondering which one to play

Insurrection feels lacking in ambition.

I just realized it was written by Michael Piller, the guy who saved TNG and created DS9. So kinda weird the one Trek movie he wrote was so bland and forgettable. And it was directed by Jonathon Frakes, who is a great director IMO so even more bizarre.

Whats your fav?

Agreed

1 actually, about to beat it and move on to 2. So its just beginning

Reddit seems to be a good place to start, but I think I’ll wait till I have money to commission some top notch artists like JK Woodward I mentioned

Yeah I agree with everything you said

I will, I just need to find the right artist. I’d go with JK Woodward but for right now, his prices are too high :(

Forbidden Planet is really good to this day. Thankfully never been remade.

Nemesis I felt could have been a much better film with better writing and direction. There’s certainly good stuff hiding in it, the whole nature vs nurture argument for example.

Funny you bring up Final Fantasy, because I’m in the process of playing all the classic entries (I have the pixel remasters and 7-9 on the Switch), and I didn’t know 8 was considered that weak. I guess I’ll find out once i get to it.

Good point. Nick Meyer was really good at making Trek films I guess.

Except, you know, when Picard beams off the exploding vessel and lets the villain die because that’s what Movie Picard does.

They cut the scene of Picard offering to save the villain, because…I guess it’s cooler to just let him die.

Anyway, I don’t think Insurrection is bad because it feels like a TNG episode, I think it’s bad because its shot in a tv movie style with a plot that makes no sense and even kinda craps all over Star Trek’s philosophy. I do appreciate they tried to create a Star Trek style moral dilemma though. Generations feels more like a theatrical version of a TNG two parter and is better for it IMO.

Yeah I admit Star Trek 1 is the most “Star Trek” of all the movies, in a good way. So from that angle, it’s the best film.

Yeah Lower Decks is run by fans of the franchise, and it shows (in a good way).

I didn’t like Discovery or Picard right from the beginning I admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of NuTrek, but SNW, Lower Decks and Prodigy are decent shows, but nowhere near TOS and TNG era Trek IMO
