"We have to stop talking to the shrinking fan audience and re-engage the attention of the mainstream. Longtime fans will read the book and [complain] about it NO MATTER WHAT. We don't need to attract them, we need to make the book accessible to the real world audience."—Grant Morrison re: X-Men

#StarTrekFirstContact is a hopeful, optimistic movie about how humanity will better itself that opens with a beautiful, uplifting orchestral score.
It's also a low-key horror movie exploring a techno-zombie attack in the aftermath of World War III, which breaks out in... (checks calendar) uh oh.

I'm probably stretching here, but I keep wondering if the Klingon birdwatcher in #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy was a tribute to Christian Cooper, noted birdwatcher and writer of Marvel Comics' Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series in the '90s.

If "Encounter at Farpoint" was released for the first time today, it would be met with loads of angry 1-star reviews on IMDb, and it would deserve it more than many of the shows being met with that review now.
Note that it wouldn't *deserve* it. It would just be less undeserving.

This was my suggestion, but what episodes of #StarTrekProdigy season 2 do *you* recommend people catch while they still can? Given there are only a few hours left, assume people will only manage to catch two max.
Feel free to clarify if you're recommending for a new viewer or for a second glance.

Last call for #StarTrek fans who are still sleeping on #StarTrekProdigy for some reason... You're probably out of time to binge on Netflix, but do yourself a favor and jump to "The Last Flight of the Protostar" and take an hour to watch it before it leaves Netflix at the end of December 31.

Everyone stresses over what happened to Tuvok and Neelix and Tuvix in #StarTrekVoyager, but I want to know what happened to that orchid that merged with them. Where'd it go? Did it reappear somewhere when they split?? Are Tuvok and Neelix still part-orchid???

Sometimes Star Trek takes its science very seriously, and sometimes Neelix and Tuvok turn into a single person and now their uniform has a flower print because they also merged with an orchid.

TRIGGER WARNING FOR GRUMPY #STARTREK FANS
Alex Kurtzman has produced more episodes of #StarTrek than Gene Roddenberry, even excluding upcoming episodes, Short Treks, very Short Treks, Scouts, Khan, After Trek, The Ready Room, and The Pod Directive. (Berman tops both combined.)

"Threshold" was clearly based on p. 56 of the TNG Tech Manual, "Death Wish" had Q and Riker, and the Doctor mentioned McCoy in "Lifesigns." From the Sulu mention in "Tattoo", this was over a span of 11 episodes of #StarTrekVoyager.
It's almost like referencing specific continuity isn't a new thing.

Watching #StarTrekVoyager. In "Prototype", Torres talks about Data. In the next episode, "Alliances", Tuvok talks about Spock and recaps the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Should I start complaining about memberberries yet? I see everyone doing it but don't have the hang of it.

Not sure why Paramount is making a #StarTrek show about #StarfleetAcademy, a series concept that (checks internet) "Nobody wants and nobody asked for", but I'm sure if I think hard enough I can figure out *some* reason they think the concept has promise...

Remember the old days, when almost every #StarTrek series was at best hit and miss for the first 50-70 episodes until they finally hit their stride in season 3 or 4 and became the show we love?
Impressive how quickly most of the new shows hit that point, especially since few even make 50 episodes.

Everyone always talks about how random the Kazon/Jonas scene in #StarTrekVoyager "Threshold" is, but no one ever does anything about it. Like writing a fanfic about the Kazon achieving warp 10 and turning into hyper-evolved Kazon salamanders.
