#AllStarTrek Holy crap! Did #Janeway just casually threaten to kill all of the Nyrians by hypothermia if they didn't agree to her terms? Damn that's... uh... cold!
@kcarr2015 Yeah, the whole "is this person still that person" was interesting. It's one thing that Star Trek does pretty well presenting these dilemmas, Measure of Man, is another case, as well as the VOY episode where the Doctor wrote a holonovel and his publisher is like, you're not a person so this work belongs to us. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
@usernamefactory@startrek I don't know if I agree with that premise. I've run into any number of people who became Trek fans in general by starting with Kelvin.
That said, I don't know that breaking the movies into more timelines is a great idea.
And I personally would be skeptical that anything from the proposed movies would ever turn into a TV series. They are really operating in separate spaces right now. And P+ is shedding series faster than they're adding them.
Now that I’ve thought about it some more, it’s unlikely the movies would be making any decisions based off of what’s best for the streaming shows. That would probably be seen as the tail wagging the dog.
That said, I’ve definitely encountered people who enjoyed the films but skipped the shows on account of not knowing where to start and finding the relationship too confusing. It would make sense to pair a successful “early days” movie with an “early days” spinoff series to lure some of that casual audience to streaming.
#booksuggestions anybody know of some novels or series with themes including the good side of humanity? I really like #StarTrek for that, where the human heart is challenged yet prevails.
Not necessarily looking for Sci-Fi but not excluding it either. Maybe something historical or steampunky would be cool. 😅
@picklejr@books@books@bookstodon I really like #TheOrville for that. I think they went really far but beware that even if it starts as a comedy, it gets really serious and deep towards the end

Because, if not, then it means there are no Tucker Carlsons and no Jon Stewarts, and no John Olivers in that universe. Probably because nothing needs internal investigations in that society as a whole!
In Deep Space 9, Jake Sisko (the station commander’s son) is a journalist for the Federation News Service. There’s a good episode where he ends up in a war zone and the story covers cowardice and PTSD.
This guy was in everything! From Jericho, to bones, CSI, star trek, etc. First thing I saw him in was when my wife made me watch ghost whisperer with her (jokes on her, I’ll watch Jennifer Love Hewitt any day). After that I’d always notice his face pop up in a bunch of shows. Really sad to see him go, ALS sucks
