    Oh no, this looks like bad news.

    I'll just wait on the Orville season 3.

    Which was my second shallow takeaway from that picture. The first was 'That was Rebecca Romjin? Number One was Mystique? My fandoms are quantum-entangling!'
    It's funny, cause I totally didn't recognize her until I read it was Romjin on the internet somewhere.

    Still, I thought she did an awesome job. I think the crew thus far seems top notch. Definitely excited about this show.

    I agree. Spock also seems to be doing well. Curious to see what happens down the line when the cast from TNG starts getting cast with different actors. On the Picard show they had an actress (Never Zadegan https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2464261/ref_=tt_cl_t8 ) playing a Betazad crime boss who looked and sounded so much like a younger Marina Sirtis that I thought they could be related.



    Deep Space Nine was great, but I see where you are coming from. Right now all the excitement is coming from the casting. Discovery and Picard showed that you can have top notch casting and production values but if the writing is terrible...the show is terrible.

    Akiva Goldsman wrote Batman and Robin y'all.
    Granted, Batman and Robin was terrible, but Goldsman has improved in his writing. Check out his episodes of Fringe sometime.

    I don't think the female captain thing was really that concrete, the Turnabout Intruder line could be interpreted in different ways (and she wasn't exactly the sanest character). Even before Discover there's at least one female captain seen in TVH.

    Yeah, we only see a small part of Starfleet in TOS, so, with new info from ENT and DSC, we know there were female captains during TOS, off camera.

    Batman and Robin was great writing given what was being asked for.

    Eh, I'm pretty bored with Trek set in the TOS time period. To Boldly Go Where We've Been Before!

    I think that's the upside of having 3 shows. You have Strange New Worlds which is set pre-original series, Picard which is set post Next Generation, and Discovery which is set somewhere in the far future.

    It's like a wedding.. something old, something new, something borrowed, etc etc.

    Deep Space Nine was good, but it wasn't very good Star Trek

    It's true, Deep Space Nine was the best Star Trek.

    For a lot of people it's not, because it broke the Roddenberry rules, but I think that is actually what made it the best.

    I like AM as Pike but unless stated as an Alternate Timeline than TOS or they explain the difference in Enterprise's appearance I have no desire to watch.

    How do I divorce Trek from Kurtzman?

    Exactly. Plus the animated show. And I just saw on twitter another animated show announced. It's not named yet, though.

    Did Discovery and Picard have bad ratings? I remember seeing Discovery doing quite well. Still haven't seen it, but still plan to. This new Pike show is something I just have to see.
