If it has no resemblance to any existing Star Trek then it's not expanding into anything, it's instead a studio using an existing brand to make more money. People who disagree with you aren't idiots or pathetic by the way, maybe you need to pay more attention when watching Star Trek, you might learn something about attitudes towards others.

pixelburp wrote: » Takes some surfeit of possessiveness, and an utter absence of self-awareness to rail against a kid's cartoon FFS. To be fair, this is a poison among a lot of fanboys of pop culture these days and not exclusive the Trek: wherein they can't seem to process the idea that not everything is going to explicitly speak to them. Be it the overall age-group, sexuality of main characters or whatever. It's pathetic. As to the designs? Yeah they're not especially "Trek" in appearance, but I just don't have any interest in kids cartoons in general anyway. I know Clone Wars and the like try to angle the material at all ages, but it just comes down to personal taste. That and I just hatttttte TV CGI cartoons; the animation is always so rubbery and blergh. Again, personal taste, more power to people who enjoy Clone Wars et al. Honestly, I think in principal it's amazing that Trek will expand into kids cartoons: it's literally going to prepare the ground for ... wait for it ... The Next Generation of Trek fans Not that the angry internet neckbeards will appreciate that - and I'm sure there are already 100s of YouTube videos of idiots like that ranting into their webcam.

There's been plenty of announcements of a movie post-Beyond and they had a knack of fizzing out. But if this turns out to be made, maybe they'll steer away from JJ-Trek and just do something that just happens to be in the Trek universe? That might be good. However, still a bit wary of anyone emerging from the Secret Hideout eco-system of Trek production.

I'm giving her the benefit here because why not? Not like the movies are ever that great bar ... what? Maybe 3, 4 stone cold classics total, couple of guilty pleasures maybe; so perhaps with a blank slate she can pen something good. That Terran story would be a millstone around anyone's neck.

Among the highlights I remember were the actual Enterprise movie model used in the first 6 movies, all the main cast costumes from both TV and movies (eg Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Khan, Chang, Picard, Data etc), phasers and tricorders from the original series and the original bridge set. The exhibition toured the world, here’s a link to a video of the exhibition when it arrived in Germany.https://youtu.be/RAm-tQdtALE

Markitron wrote: » I went twice in 2007, it was fantastic. The Borg encounter experience was utterly fantastic but the main attraction was Quark's bar, was such a good laugh and all the costumed 'cast' were well up for it and in character. Had some serious cocktails in there too, borg sphere was amazing.
