Looks like their going to be a new Star Trek series or as in a spin off from the Discovery series involving the Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike along with Spock and number one as shown in the original series and the second series of Discovery.
Only seen the first series of Discovery myself which is set in the new time line and it's a bit average so not sure if we really need another trek series.
The Wagon Train rolls on... and on... and on!

It's an endless Trek. 😀

They saturated the concept didn't they? And as Cody so subtly alluded, the latest resurrection of this franchise is going to have a lot of people thinking "cash grab"
Hey Gaius - good to see you!

I haven't really watched any of the new series or the Picard series (have heard some bad things about this one). Netflix has all the star trek series on the platform except for the two I mentioned. Would have been nice if they brought on the actor that played Pike in the newer movies I think would have been great. I like star trek a lot, just have been put off from the direction I have seen the last two star trek shows have done with discovery and picard after watching many reviews. but I think the more star trek the better.... everyone needs more scifi in their life 😉
Hi Cody! Glad to be back, all of a sudden my troubles logging in have vanished. Hope you are all doing well and looking forward to preparing a little review for you guys on a very niche simulation that's out there.
Aye welcome back Gaius.
Going to pick up the second series of Discovery and see what it like.
will do but might be a couple of months.
Finally got around to watching the second series and I really enjoyed it, thought it was a lot better than the first and the addition of captain Pike seems to give the series a boost that it lacked in the first series.
Not to say that it all roses as it's a Star Trek series you still have the odd ball characters/ techno babble and an that annoying ginger ensign. One trope that it makes too much use of is making the viewer thing that a character has been killed off only to have it revealed that it was a slight of hand although two of the minor characters do get bump off at the end.

Nice! Seems worth spending some time on then.

It one of those series which seems to divide the fan base, personally I'm not a huge Star Trek fan so I watch it for what it is, rather than what the fans expect.

Growing up it was that or the ridiculously campy "Lost in Space" (oh the pain). When I got older I saw it differently and didn't care much for the newer shows as the tech just reached ludicrous levels and increased my disbelief. I guess I preferred "Enterprise" which makes me a minority no doubt.
This one being set before ToS may appeal to me... as long as the writing stays the course.
I enjoyed Enterprise as well and it's a real shame it was cancelled as it was just starting to get really interesting.
