    Since been retconned that Supervisors, are part of the Traveler's creation. Hopefully they don't try to create it with Wil Weaton

    Hopefully they do! Wesley Crusher was a terrible character on TNG but Wil Wheaton is sound, and a real Trekkie - it'd be great so see him in a show again.

    There is for and against it.

    Why We Need a Travelers Spinoff

    Clearly, Wesley’s appearance in Picard opened the door for an enormous world of storytelling potential. A Travelers spinoff could be something completely new in the universe of Trek, and it could give us some extremely compelling possibilities.

    Star Trek should absolutely pass on doing a “Travelers” series

    The idea of doing a Travelers series is a bad one for numerous reasons. The first is that the series would deviate too far from the established concept that Star Trek is built on. A captain and their crew, doing space things. Yes, the franchise has experimented in the past and those experiments have failed. We need a captain, we need a crew and we need a ship.

    The money for a Wesley series would be better spent on underwater hairdryer research.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Wesley? Uh no thank you.

    Not even that fond of Wil Wheaton TBH. Kinda lost respect for him for heading that backslapping Afters show for Picard.

    Ya he really prostituted himself for that cameo.

    Double Star Trek Week!! 🙂

    I'm not a boot legger and while I subbed to Paramount+ to see Strange New Worlds and Discovery, I also took in the first half of Prodigy. Enjoyed it but not to the point that I'm going to re subscribe to P+ solely to see the rest of that series. I'll probably wait until Discovery is back on, then go back to P+ and in the highly likely event that Disco pees me off use Prodigy as the anchor to stop me abandoning Star Trek.

    This too shall pass.

    Season finalé of Lower Decks and the resumption of Prodigy happened this week.

    This too shall pass.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,136 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Ah ok. I don't really follow PRO so didn't realize it was back already

    Going back to do yet another watch through of VOY to tide me over until SNW next year. Flipped a coin between VOY and Babylon 5 and Janeway came out on top. Tried to persist with DIS or PIC but felt like a chore rather than enjoyable entertainment. Even tried the new Quantum Leap but that was also a bust. I shall stay living in the past until SNW returns!

    Awe no stick with QL it gets really good. Some great episodes in it.

    I think if I was looking for something to tide me over untill SNW us back it would be between DS9 and TNG.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭DoctorEdgeWild


    I've recently finished a DS9 and TNG run through so dipping back to VOY.

    I think I lasted 3 episodes into QL, but found it such a poor comparison to the original. Is it worth persisting with?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,475 ✭✭✭✭AMKC
    Ms


    Yes it is worth persisting with. It had a good Halloween episode and the episode before it was very good too. No doubt it is different to the original but I think it has potential.

    Peace and long life.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,858 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yeah once you accept it's not the original it's an enjoyable leap of the week series. As I said in the show thread, I was one of the doubters and I'll admit I was wrong.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭DoctorEdgeWild


    I shall give it another shot this week in that case. VOY can wait!

    I would love to see Naglim make an appearance in Lower Decks. He featured in episode two of season two. That was a decent episode that.


    I wonder how many times was the Enterpris-D neatly destroyed before it eventually was how many times did they use self destruct to nearly destroy it too? Anyone know.

    Peace and long life.

    So I am just watching DS9s 'The Visitor " episode. I know it probably did not happen as Jake fixed it and all but then maybe it did happen in an alternate reality.

    So do you think in that alternate reality without Commander Sisko that the Federation and the Dominion still went to war and if so do you think the Dominion would have won in that one? Also maybe Jadzia does not die in that reality or maybe she dies sooner?Who knows.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,988 ✭✭✭Evade


    The way that future played out it seems like there wasn't enough of the Alpha Quadrant-ish powers united to be a threat to the Dominion so they probably only had changeling infiltrators stirring the pot every so often



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,136 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Without Sisco there is a good chance S31 still poison all the Founders.

    Ye maybe. Jadzia and Bashir are still around but old and Nog too.


    So ye maybe the Dominion never seen any of the other powers as a threat at least not yet so there had been no big war yet.

    Peace and long life.

    Broken Link comes a good bit after the Visitor so Odo might never have gone to the Founders home world to spread the virus. I don't remember off hand if Odo is even mentioned in the alternate future segments.
