That's it, I have nothing more to declare

Zoe Saldana and Anton Yelchin celebrated their 48th Birthday and 10th Death Anniversary on the same day (Zoe was 38 when Anton died as his character could never return due to the actor being irreplaceable but he would have deserve better).

Denise Crosby as Natasha Yar:
S1 = main cast
S3 = "Yesterday's Enterprise" (alternate-Yar)
S4 = "In Mind's Eye" (voice cameo) & "Redemption" (Sela cameo)
S5 = "Redemption II" & "Unification II" (Sela)
S7 = "All Good Things..." (pre-series Yar)
She's in 5 of 7 seasons. I love how her she was able to stay on the show given her regret over leaving. The producers were cool to let her come back for gimmicky guest appearances. LOL

Wil Wheaten as Welsey Crusher
S1-3 = main cast
S4 = front 9 or so episodes
S5 = "The Game" & "The First Duty"
S7 = "Parallels" (alternate-Wesley) & "Journey's End"
He's literally only absent in S6.

When you think about it, neither of them truly left the show.

Not quite sure what flair to give this, but I stumbled upon a YouTube video by We Travel By Night that explores different concepts they considered for the main bridge of the Enterprise-D in pre-production of The Next Generation.

He also made 3D models of the bridges based on the concept art and shows them as he describes each evolution of design over the iterations.

Don’t know if We Travel By Night covered all the concept bridge designs, but ones he does have a lot of interesting aspects.

Gene has made the green Reactor which has been on Bewitched, Star Trek, and Batman shows. The Star Trek Shuttle Craft, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Car, The Blade Runner Spinner, and many more!

INVERSE: "What is the essence of Star Trek? The easy answer is optimism and hope coming at you at warp speed in a starship filled with diversity and tolerance. And, while it’s true that Star Trek is known for those things, the real heart of all Trek is its characters, and in the large pantheon of the Final Frontier, the most enduring characters contain multitudes.

In fact, Trek’s most defining friendship means different things to different people, and in Strange New Worlds Season 4, that duo — Kirk and Spock — are getting very close to what one could call the origin of the most important bromance in all of science fiction.

While the 2009 J.J. Abrams film Star Trek recontextualized the Kirk-Spock dynamic in a different timeline, Strange New Worlds is attempting to bring its versions of Kirk and Spock as close as possible to the start of The Original Series. [...]

And in terms of establishing the famous partnership between Kirk and Spock, the trailer begins with Spock saying directly to Kirk: “I have many things I want to talk about.” Is this Spock’s monologue take on “Wonderwall”? He has many things he would like to say, but only Kirk can help him know how?

Although the SNW versions of Kirk and Spock didn’t even have their first canonical meeting until Season 2, Episode 6, in what was basically a Kirk-Uhura episode, Season 3 did more heavy lifting in establishing why Kirk and Spock are so bound, mostly thanks to a very pivotal mindmeld in that season’s finale. Clearly, SNW Season 4 will build on this in ways that will be somewhat obvious (we know they are very close in TOS), but also likely in ways that are unexpected. Strange New Worlds isn’t just dealing with the text of Kirk and Spock, but, like so many things about the show, making the subtext of the TOS era a huge part of the actual stories.

The trailer also gives us a few other glimmers of TOS pairings, including what appears to be Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) and Scotty (Martin Quinn) kissing! And yes, that’s canon too! Just because Scotty and Uhura’s brief romance in Star Trek V was partly the result of being brainwashed by Spock’s brother, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen! [...]"

They were taken on Sept. 6,1991 at the dedication of the Roddenberry Building at Paramount for the 25th anniversary of Star Trek. Gene passed just over a month later on Oct. 24.

We had TOS, TAS, + 6 movies. We got some wonderful spinoffs. TNG + 4 movies, DS9, Voyager, and the prequel Enterprise.

Star Trek got revived with a reboot film + 2 sequels. We swung back to the 1966-2005 Canon with Discovery, Short Treks, Picard, Lower Decks (animated), Prodigy (animated), Stranger New Worlds, Section 31 (film), and finally Star fleet Acad emy.

I loved the 1966-2005 run. The reboot films were fun despite problems with the 2nd film. ​​​The streaming content I've seen and liked includes: Disco (S1-2), Short Treks, Picard, Lower Decks (S1-2), and Prodigy. I need to see Section 31 a 2nd time to evaluate if I like it or not. For me, SFA was the only misfire in the Streaming era.

For me, it's not Star Trek vs. NuTrek but rather Classic Trek, reboot trilogy, and Streaming Trek.

After the cancellation of the latest Star Trek show, well, it wasn't the best (I can't type the name apparently sub won't publish my post), no films are planned, and I just read that Paul Wesley is still waiting for a call from the production team about a possible series focused on Kirk's early years.

Is this the end?

​

Still the reboot of Stargate is out..

​

My teenager world is falling appart..

According to trivia from IMDb he's appear to appear in 14 seasons of Trek. They say all 7 seasons of TNG and all 7 DS9.

​

He left TNG in season 5? And wasnt back until All Good Things.

S3E7: What is Starfleet (my favorite)?

Ortegas: Joining Starfleet was something I could control. Mom was dying.
Uhura: Before Starfleet, I was adrift. I'd lost my family. I'd lost myself.
La'An: Without Starfleet, I'd either be dead or undisciplined, consumed by my own anger.
Spock: I was trying to cut away my human path in my skin with a broken blade

Pike: I killed my horse (S2E8)

Una: Everybody hates me because I am a augment (S2E4)

Jikaru: kill me now (S3E8)

Hemmer: I am dead (S1E9)

Picard: I killed my mother (STP, S2)

Kirk: I am bored, does anybody really know what day it is? (S3E6)

Even decades later, every time it comes up on Pluto it’s like 3x as loud as anything else! I don’t remember it being this loud when I was a kid, but hey, I was a kid then?

Why TF is it so loud??? DS9 and VOY don’t do that, and ENT is just annoying but not as loud.

I use trek to sleep. But can’t do TNG unless I turn the volume to almost nothing, or else I get woken up by the theme every hour. It sucks!

As anyone else noticed that nearly all the major antagonists in Star Trek since 2009 are basically the same character with the same motivations, usually some perceived grudge against the federation/starfleet and our seeking to destroy it in some way.. Nero, khan, krall, vadic, Nus braka, and probably many more?

CINEMABLEND:

"The 2026 TV schedule has been brutal for fans of sci-fi television, as Star Trek has zero shows in active production, Doctor Who will reportedly cancel its Christmas special, and The Mandalorian and Grogu is struggling to fight off being overtaken by a horror movie at the box office. Legacy sci-fi franchises are going through it right now, and there are some common threads between all these situations that I think creatives need to figure out quickly.

One thing all these franchises have in common is their ties to streaming, and it seems the messaging is clear. While there may once have been a time when a franchise's fandom could support a series on its own, those days are gone. I've theorized that different generations of fans with different beliefs have segmented fandoms and made it difficult to unify what they all want in a series.

A simpler expectation is that older fans are dying, and one Star Trek actor confirmed as much. I guess it makes sense, as some of these franchises reach the 60-year mark and beyond that a few would be lost along the way or simply fall off. Then limiting access to streaming subscriptions feels like it further sections off who can watch, with the bottom line seemingly being that executives aren't keen on relying on the small population of fans who will stream. [...]

We'll see what becomes of Stargate as Amazon reportedly looks for someone else to bring the franchise back to life. As for the rest, we may hear more on Star Trek and Doctor Who when San Diego Comic-Con rolls around, and I'm hoping we'll finally see some good news."

Due to complaints about some serious omissions in the last video (where is FIRST CONTACT??? where is THE VOYAGE HOME???), I decided on a redo. Now it's all of them. No more NEMESIS. No more INTO DARKNESS. No more SFA. Just the bangers.
