and with this announcement I come full circle as Spock, Number One and Captain Pike arrive for a new series 53 years since they debuted as the back-story for the original Trek, so it leads directly into that show, short of them ever doing a "Young Kirk" Star Trek series. So, 3 current great Trek shows, so many super-hero TV shows, not to mention big blockbuster movies.
12-year-old-me just exploded with excitement in an alternate universe where he just got a glimpse of all this through a timewarp.... ![]() ![]() |

I'm already waiting for it.
Discovery Season 3 will begin shooting next month apparently, I think we are heading for the Season 3 to be released in early 2021 And for Star Trek Memorabilia Royal Mail are releasing a stamp set for December to mark 100 years of Gene Roddenberry, so I'm guessing the Captain and the crew of each Star Trek series with Starships and a space station depicted across 12 stamps, I'm so excited ![]() |

oh my god another one!
To be honest, when I finally catch up to modern Trek in my ever ongoing chronological Trek watch (currently simultaneously on DS9/Voyager/Enterprise, I moved the latter up a couple of seasons so I didn't have only Voyager once I was done with DS9) I'll get through Discovery and Picard relatively quickly so I'm interested in more stuff like that, and hopefully it'll produce a few classic Trek episodes. Intrigued. I'm watching TNG for the first time right now off the back of Discovery & Picard Any good highlights you've found so far? TNG has such a good exploratory vibe that's really hard to properly replicate in other shows. |

The throwback vibe was confusing me ![]() It's still coming together, I'm only on season 2. Data seems to be the breakout star of the cast so far. They've just replaced the doctor - although I believe the original one comes back - and the dynamic is a bit off, but this season seems a lot stronger. Gender dynamic feels a bit off since a certain prominent character was killed off and the remaining two don't seem to have a lot to do currently. What's really been striking to me as a tv fan is how OLD Picard is to be a lead. Patrick Stewart was late 40s in the first season and is THE central character of the ensemble - you don't get that in many shows! |

There's a number of episodes, some among my TNG favourites, in the first 3 seasons where the Federation-Romulan interactions are pretty clearly supposed to be an analogue of latter-day USA-Soviet relations. The first two seasons are very famously shaky, with an slight improvement in s2 and a significant improvement in s3, so sounds like you've gotten past the hard bit - though three of my favourite TNG episodes, Where Silence Has Lease, The Measure Of A Man and Q Who are in s2 so there's some great stuff in there. Yes, and even then it seems like he's barely aged in the thirty years since. I think part of how I love him so much is exactly that, how unusual he seems as a lead, this diplomatic and reserved man who's more of a distant, cerebral leader, helped by having Riker anytime the show needs more of a traditional action lead. |

If you haven't noticed it already, pay attention to how Riker sits down. Once seen you can't ignore it.
