Now we need the next Abrams-Verse film to end with wtih Obrien and Bashier saying 'Computer end program'.

Would be funnier if it was Reginald Barkley

SOLD!

Wonder how much Dwight Schultz would charge to do a fan film?

And then he starts a new program involving mercenaries in late-20th Century Los Angeles helping the downtrodden.

I don't know, I really enjoyed that last Star Trek movie.

Me too, but you don't have to look far to find the fan base tearing itself apart over petty details where the JJverse is concerned. I think fan abandonment actually hurt Beyond at the box office.

On a recent flight I continued my labored effort to watch all of Star Trek: Enterprise with an episode about the crew having shore leave on Risa. The remainder of the flight I watched the sun set. The later half of the flight was vastly more entertaining.

The pilot for The Orville was better.

Sorry for the necro, but this thread inspired me to download the show for watching when I got a chance (2 young children and a fulltime job don't leave a lot of time) to see what all the fuss was about.

So I've watched most of the show during my last offshore trip, and frankly I quite enjoyed it. It's no DS9, B5, Stargate or Farscape (my uncontested #1 scifi show) but it's enjoyable enough.
But then, as with Star Wars, I don't watch shows like this to over-analyse every little detail in them to death. It's escapism, pure and simple, just like almost all of Trek, and I don't need deep philosophical meaning in that all the time.

I mean, that's a gigantic retcon of "almost all of Trek" which was never pure escapism, but it's good you enjoyed it.

Also, Vulcan Zombies

Everyone (and I) who worked on that show thanks you. I was only an indentured peon in the prop-shop, but it counts. I got to handle Claudia Black's stunt guns.

You're welcome, and thank you .

It was a good show - most enjoyable - although I thought Raelee Hill was hotter as Sikozu

"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

Wow.

I managed to invest in the absolutely gorgeous Farscape Universe boxed set (which includes The Peacekeeper Wars!) and it's the best DVD set that I've ever purchased. Even better than my Bladerunner tin with all 37 versions of the film.

I still haven't opened my Farscape DVDs. However, I have a surgery coming up and I plan to watch it during the recovery.

Oh, no doubts there ... but she wasn't ON the show yet when I worked on it. I have a firm spot for redheads.

A mate still has the mat that was the entry mat to the studio "Wipe your frelling feet!".

A little late, but that last sentence really requires a Butthead-style "uh huh huh-huh huh huh".

They should have researched actual explorers from the 1500s - 1700s. Things break down a lot. Food and water are a problem. Just surviving is difficult.

First contact with aliens is highly dangerous.have them having to fight their way back to the shuttle or out of the solar system.

It was boring.
