Helpful timeline for where SNW fits in:



Looks like they have a decent amount of free room for a couple of seasons. :)

I suppose they're making some room on the roster for Season 3, and the return of the old main cast. I just hope that the show will have more meaningful plot to fill its runtime, and not stretch it out to breaking point.

Well, we have the android from the future that looks exactly like her! :P

I did like SNW, strange, as I had developped a dislike for episodic tv shows.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

And if they need more, a rupture in the space time continuum can come in handy.

So did I.  I think it is because that captain is very good.

Yeah, Anson Mount was great in that far west show too.  :)

I finally watched the Deep Space 9 documentary, What We Left Behind.

Also, I loved how they read out the hate mail they received  :lol:

Really liked the new episode. Though I'm starting to think the tone might be a bit *too* flippant? :D Feels a bit more Farscape or Firefly. I'm not saying we have to go back to the stodgy, stick in the mud Federation of TNG Seasons 1 and 2. Or maybe I'm not used to that tone in Trek outside of Lower Decks. :P

Escapist (of all places) had a decent look at how Star Trek, largely, retreats into nostalgia:

Nothing? :unsure:

Just not used to such flippant tone from live action Trek. :P

New Star Trek is reminding me a bit of early seasons of Stargate before it went all "Gua Uld" or whatever that race was called. Explore, come across new races, etc.

You guys discussing something else than Star Trek Picard in the Star Trek Picard thread disturbs me.

Syt

Maybe Josephus could be convinced to rename the thread. :)
