50 years already.
That is so exciting. I love Star Trek, and have always said that while Star Wars was a bigger movie franchise, Star Trek was the bigger TV franchise. I have thought they should return to TV for the past six or seven years.
Will this version take a premise and discoveries seen on one show and then forget about them on the next? Continuity in all but the very broadest sense sucked in all the others versions. Since this is the future, will we see muslims?
Wrath of Kahn was probably the best of the movie reboot while Undiscovered Country was horrible.
I can think of a lot of better writers than this one.
Thoe 3 Star Trek movies mentioned were some of the best of the franchise. That’s a good sign.
Need a picture of Kirk screaming Kahnnnnnnnnn!
Perhaps - I have come to loath the entire series for its shallowness and often lack of continuity; never liked Ricardo Montalban from Broken Arrow (1956) ... Cochise.
Just as soon see Star Trek and Star Wars disappear, travesties both of the genre of Scifi.
The better writers are not found in Hollywood because they refuse to write scripts based on some current liberal/socialist meme. All the better Scifi is either never produced (about 95-99%), some killed before release, or the remainder killed before it ends.
“Since this is the future, will we see muslims?”
You can either have Muslims, or you can have a future. It’s one or the other. This is a choice the world is currently grappling with.
I liked ST and some of the spin-offs.
ST-TNG was too PC. They were always going somewhere to the stellar wars, etc., but had to stop for another PC episode or glitches in the transporter, etc.
I never got into the Star Wars fad. I watched the first one and I think I had one or two of the later films on TV as background noise.
The newer, young StarTrek’s have been okay, but a tad too long.
Star Trek: Cheers.
A bumbling crew of a local bar on a starbase have hijinx and merriment with their whacky cast of customers.
I was hoping it will be prophetic and remain without ...
Oh my, I have great inner joy at the thought of liberal heads exploding when they see this.
Ricardo Montalban didn't play Cochise. Michael Ansara did. Ansara was once married to Barbara Eden.
Ricardo Montalban
The 20th Century-Fox Hour (TV Series) 1956
- Broken Arrow (1956) ... Cochise
We’ll have the entire crew BLM members. Transgenders. Homosexuals. And Obama cameos. Nothing is safe from PC.
