Steampunk is present day, but one where transistors were never invented. Meaning, computers don't exist. So everything is still analogue and runs mainly on steam.
Jonathan Archer and AG Robinson were both in the NX test pilot program. AG was the prime candidate for captaincy but was passed over for Jonathan 6 months before launch date. AG died afterwards while climbing a mountain. He was going to be captain of NX-02 Columbia but died before she launched.
Archer is a secret agent who is afraid of alligators, crocodiles, and brain aneurysms. Burnham is a guy who healed the world with comedy from his bedroom.
Really ? that's so cool. Idk how often i re-watched this episode, From the moment Burnham jumps off that asteroid and glides / maneuvers trough the battlefield always gets me high.
There's a certain flow in the visuals, combined with the music and ongoing brabble between Michael and Spock that gets me hypnotized instantly.
I also love that last fight between Philippa and Leland, while the corridor keeps centrifuging slowly.
I cant actually find any good comparisons of the ships, but it's not that surprising.
I mean after the explosive size difference between prime and altered timeline stories I suppose they could have some fun with it. And the fact that it has a unique method of travel.
I actually was already planning on starting watching lol this sub def contributed to that. Remembered I never finished the Orville so started there, now gotta figure out where to start on Trek.
Thanks to this sub I became a trekkie as well, would say that while I couldn't get into TOS, these three rocked, Discovery, Strange new Worlds, and lower decks.
Idek what TOS is lol the original series? My dad is an OG trekkie and had us watch some of that as kids but he didn't try very hard to get us into it and hasn't been following much of the new stuff either.
"Our reality may be very much like theirs, and all this might just be an elaborate simulation, running inside a little device sitting on someone's table."
You have SO much amazing and interconnected content ahead of you, always so jealous of newcomers in that regard. No doubt you will enjoy 🖖
Do yourself a favor tho, don’t watch the animated Lower Decks show until you’ve seen a good amount of trek series, the series is FILLED with old and new trek references/themes/stories that while still very enjoyable you won’t get everything. Although perhaps it would work in reverse and as you see in old trek what you saw in LD as a reverse reference haha
That I have not seen but... the cast !????
Alan Rickman , Sigourney Weave, Tim Allen!?, Sam Rockwell, Justin Long, Rain Wilson...
Even if it is the worst thing ever just for the cast it must be watched.
For note, some Star Trek fans consider it the best Star Trek film, despite obviously not being Star Trek. Whether that's true is up for debate, but it helps demonstrate the movie's quality.
Can totally relate, I have a NAS media server and I am addicted to archiving media to the point where I have seen maybe a drop in the bucket of what I have stored to watch haha
Just do yourself a favor and like those other series, keep Trek on a list. If you enjoy Stargate I think you will enjoy Star Trek too, Picard is not exactly standard Trek if you will and doesn’t represent the older series exactly as they have more structure and more seasons
You will likely be alive for awhile (hopefully!) so you’ll get to trek sooner or later :)
They both had great first series/trilogies, kinda shitty follow-ups more than a decade later, and J. J. Abrams then hammered the final nails into both franchises in the 21st century.
I watched Picard's Flute at the recommendation of a friend 10+ years ago. I'm assuming every episode is as perfect. Never watched another episode. Welcome the the club.
If you ever decide you want some great episodes to watch here are a handful great episodes off the top of my head: In the Pale Moonlight (Deep Space Nine), Subspace Rhapsody (Strange New Worlds-if you don't mind musicals), Equinox (Voyager), or First Contact (Lower Decks)
i can only speak for the older ones, but yes you can watch them individually. Though context makes them better of course. Maybe you will feel intrigued and start watching the actual series (rule of thumb: some have rocky early seasons but get much better after some time).
As for discovery, it is definitely very different from older Trek, using a continuous seasonal story arc format made for the age of binge watching, and being very heavy on personal relations and issues.
Hello friend, allow me to introduce you to this project that has performed AI remasters for DS9 and is currently working on Voyager (halfway thru s1 I think)
Join their discord, and go to the #instructions channel, there is an ftp server for all completed episodes; you don’t need to run the workflows on the source eps yourself
Enjoy old trek in a more clear and vibrant experience :)
Whoa what. How reliable is that? Do they check every frame before/after. First time I've ever heard of AI remastering... As Spock would say, "fascinating."
They are quite diligent in my experience, they’ve gone back and redone episodes on whims or by requests from people on the discord
I actually first started with the UTR/Joybell AI remaster which was better than the source files I had but was quite rough around the edges, especially the first season or two. Bright areas would blow out and show jagged lines, bleh
But this remaster is SO much better. Here is their workflow they keep updated so you can see what they do
There are comparison videos they have done as well, adding details like clearing up monitors and displays, etc
TOS: The Original Series
TNG: The Next Generation
DS9: Deep Space 9
VOY: Voyager
ENT: Enterprise
DIS: Discovery
PIC: Picard
LD: Lower Decks
SNW: Strange New World
I've also never seen Star Wars, GOT, or any Marvel/DC movies. I kinda just exist inside my own little bubble. Honestly I don't even know what's popular anymore lol
Say what you will about Shatner, and a lot of it will be perfectly true and highly applicable, but there are plenty longstanding pro wrestlers who wouldn't have committed as much as he did to selling the fuck out of each one of those glacial smacks.
How do you manage to go through life without watching a single episode of Trek? It has numerous seasons and spinoffs, and it is constantly in syndication. Do you avoid broadcast TV in entirety?
My country just doesn't know Star Trek at all. We barely even know Star Wars. It's fascinating how different region per region can be in popular things.

I've also never seen Star Wars, GOT, or any Marvel/DC movies. I kinda just exist inside my own little bubble. Honestly I don't even know what's popular anymore lol

Don't worry, plenty of Trekkies don't know/care about what's popular either. That's why we're still making memes about a sixty year old series 🥲

I don't know about anymore. Star Trek has been popular since the mid-1960s.

Have you heard of Star Trek Continues? It's a fan-made production that meticulously re-created the look of TOS to "complete the five-year mission."

May I interest you in some self-sealing stem bolts?

Got plenty already.
Can't seem to get rid of them.

Why would you ever want to get rid of them? They're SELF-SEALING!

Posts like this reconcile me to the bad, infinitely-memed guy in a Gorn suit in TOS ‘Arena’.
OP can I recommend Star Trek: Lower Decks as your gateway … to the onscreen franchise. A logical place to start.

Say what you will about Shatner, and a lot of it will be perfectly true and highly applicable, but there are plenty longstanding pro wrestlers who wouldn't have committed as much as he did to selling the fuck out of each one of those glacial smacks.

A wind up a mile long, but what do I know, I don't knock most people (and species stronger than mine) to the ground with the ol one-two like he does.

How do you manage to go through life without watching a single episode of Trek? It has numerous seasons and spinoffs, and it is constantly in syndication. Do you avoid broadcast TV in entirety?
mcmoor@bookwormstory.social · 4 pts · 2y
My country just doesn't know Star Trek at all. We barely even know Star Wars. It's fascinating how different region per region can be in popular things.
