At least four or five according to on screen information.
I believe the meme above refers to:
Archer’s NX Class (NX-01)
Kirk’s Constitution class (NCC-1701 with no suffix, heavily modified to Constitution refit class for feature films 1 through 3)
Kirk’s Constitution refit class (started the letter suffix system with A)
The Excelsior class seen briefly in Generations
the Ambassador class seen briefly in an episode of TNG
Picard’s Galaxy class
Picard’s Sovereign class (the most recent in the series with a suffix of E)
As the seven starships named Enterprise.
There is an 8th that has been seen on screen; Archer is given a brief glimpse of the future Enterprise J by his fairy godmother Crewman Daniels. This implies that an F, G, H, and possibly I will be commissioned. I is sometimes skipped with registration numbers because it can be confused with the number 1. So if the show’s in-universe “present day” is where ST: Picard is, a few decades after the events of TNG, there are four, or possibly five, Enterprises implied or confirmed in canon to be built over the next ~250 years.
So we’re moving from steam to magnets, basically following the ENT intro. I hope to see the Phoenix launch in our time, but I guess we have to go through the Bell riots first.
Ha ha funny quote, but really, the latest revival is just… Tragic. Disenchantment was supposed to be a second Futurama too, but in the end it came with unfunny jokes and an uninteresting premise. It kinda feels like Groening stopped being funny.
Disenchantment was just jam packed with bad meta-jokes for writers and characters that literally just state their inner motivations. It felt like he was either 1) tired of trying or 2) trying to write show for comedy writers, and failing.
Sureee, but jt js not comedy writers that will be watching it. And if you see the latest season of Futurama, it’s all meta jokes and digs at stuff that is 5 years late from when it aired.
Legit though, the difference in his delivery in the movie and on Kimmel was more profound than it seems. I wish the take he had on it, that look of wonder and awe, had been in the movie.
Say what you will about him, but the guy can do nuanced acting.
Also, if I thought I had a chance of being in that good of a shape at 93, I’d want to get there.
This, but not even in a joking way; In The Pale Moonlight was my late best friend’s favourite episode of Trek, and I watched DS9 with him. This line will always make me think of him
“There were Romulans—there was a whole thing. The idea was that Guinan’s bar was presented as a normal bar in Los Angeles, but if you knew the right thing to do, you could go into the back through the telephone phone booth and that was Rick’s Café and it was a stopping point for all these different species that were actually there on Earth with a ‘Do not interfere’ thing happening. So you had a lot more Star Trek happening in the backdrop of it. Ultimately, the powers that be at that time were like, ‘This is too much.’ But there were some really good ideas there that were pretty cool.”
On the one hand, Star Trek being called “too Star Trek” is moronic. On the other hand, that is cliched as hell.
I still didn’t like season 2, but I don’t think that would have been an improvement. Pre-First Contact Earth has way too many aliens on it as it is.
Egregious is the word I would have used for the very first season of Discovery, and that's when I stopped watching. Strange New Worlds is much more my speed Trekwise [the musical episode excluded] and am looking forward to more of that, and this new Star Fleet Academy show I keep hearing about.
Yeah, I’ve never been fully onboard with Discovery. The constant threats to the entire universe wore on me quite a bit. I’m definitely looking forward to more Strange New Worlds. It reminds me a lot of old Trek that I enjoyed so much.
Even if they didn’t add more episodes, I will complain that it was an incredible waste of time that Endgame spent so much focus on Future Janeway’s shenanigans. They could’ve done a cold open establishing her motivations and then taken the time used by the future scenes to unpack the weight of the crew we actually care about getting home.
As someone who is not into musical episodes (nothing against musicals, just it’s not my thing, if I wanted to watch a musical I’d watch… a musical?), it wasn’t too painful to watch.
The Klingon segment made me howl with laughter though, and although musical episodes aren’t my bag, I love how free this season has been in terms of exploring new ideas in each episode.
I enjoyed the episode. I liked that it wasn’t just “a musical episode” but they acknowledged that it was unusual and expressed concern about it. They didn’t pretend that everyone singing was normal like in a typical musical.
Yeah, they found a sciencey way to explain it that imo was satisfying enough. It’s nice to have fun episodes so it’s not all grim and serious, knowing what’s probably waiting for Pike! Also a nice opportunity for some of the cast to show off their other talents, Christina Chong has an incredible voice.
They led into Picard mowing down Borg with a Tommy gun in First Contact, so they’re a-okay with me!
Incidentally, I just watched The Big Hit, which came out in 1998, right around the time that In The Pale Moonlight aired, and it features Avery Brooks chewing scenery as a cartoonishly over-the-top mob boss, so I like to pretend that it’s a holosuite program he ran to loosen up after the events of the episode.
