The canon queer character of the day is:

Dr. Hugh Culber from Star Trek: Discovery, who is gay.

While Jonathan Frakes was starring on Star Trek: The Next Generation, he was also doing his homework, learning the skills he'd need to become a director. That certainly paid off for him -- he started directing episodes of TNG starting in its third season, and he's now directed more than 100 episodes of television. He's also directed a handful of feature films, including the first Star Trek movie to feature the TNG crew, Star Trek: First Contact. In fact, First Contact was his first time directing for the big screen, and it was universally acclaimed as being one of the best films in the franchise. At the time of First Contact's release, Frakes spoke to us about how directing a Star Trek movie was different than directing the Star Trek television shows.

Star Trek: First Contact is currently streaming on Paramount+ and available on DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K, and most digital platforms.

A couple of entertainment websites I visit are calling the cancelation “Prodigy” on Paramount+ the start of demise of the Trek franchise.

I think the problem is more complicated than that.

I saw the first episode of Prodegy and except for the last minute appearance of Janeway, it didn’t look or feel like a Trek show. I never went back.

Sure I like “Rick & Morty” but do I want to see a mashup with Star Trek? Again, after one episode my answer was “No”.

Discovery? It tries so hard to be different that it’s Trek in name only. Burnham is a Mary Sue with everything centered around her (she started the Klingon war, SHE was the Red-McGuffin, etc. and by the way, the non-Captain lead character became a Captain.)

Season 1&2 of Picard had some good performance but I felt the plots were muddled. Season 3 undid the events of Season 2 to become a season long fan service and it centered on the Borg - AGAIN! There is more to Picard’s legacy than the Borg!

SNW has a good cast and a promising 1st season but so far season 2 seems to be walking back the improvements over Discovery and Picard. I hope it gets better.

Today in Fandom History: June 3

Fandom: Star Trek

June 3rd, 1969, the final episode of Star Trek: The Original Series was released. The show that would start a franchise that would span more television shows, cartoons, movies, comics, novels, and more, ended today 53 years ago. Though originally supposed to run for five seasons, it ended at just three due to a horrible time slot and the creative burn out of show runner Gene Roddenberry, even after a large letter campaign where fans tried to save the show. Even though the show never had great viewing numbers, it did have a dedicated fanbase that would only grow after it’s cancellation, eventually resulting in a new series that would become part of a much larger franchise. The show may have physically ended after three seasons, but it’s popularity has only grown, especially with the rise of nerd culture in the media. Long story short, Star Trek won’t be coming to an end anytime soon. I mean, it’s 56 years after Star Treks beginning, and we still have more canon stories coming at us. For instance, Picard season three is coming at us in 2023, and who knows in what medium Star Trek will grace our minds with next.

A random Star Trek thought

Has anyone ever done a count of every (licensed) story set during the original Star Trek Original Series 5-year mission released over the last 57 years or so? TV, comics, novels, short stories. Assuming they used Earth calendar years and the mission lasted exactly 5 calendar years, that’s about 1,825 days (plus one or two February 29s depending where it fell among leap years). I’d be curious to see if we’ve reached the point of there being more TOS stories than there were days in the mission! (Include fanfic and we blew past that probably sometime in the 1970s). Or at least an adventure every other day (plus factor in there are some stories that take place over the course of weeks and months - I recall a short story in one of the “Star Trek: The New Voyages” books from the 1970s that took place over the course of a year!) ...

It’s one of those things that you realize with a prolific franchise like Trek. It’s not something Doctor Who has to worry about that much, or even Star Wars (thought that said there are some schools of DW thought that suggest, say, the entirety of Peri Brown’s travels with the Fifth and Sixth Doctor took place over a summer, for example, despite two years passing in real life and clearly Peri was with the Doctor more than a few months.

The nearest example that comes to mind is the series M*A*S*H which ran for 11 years - 8 more than the actual Korean War, and it never produced anything close to 1,100 episodes (the approximate length in days of the war). And even it had an episode that took place over the course of an entire calendar year.

These are the types of thoughts that occupy my mind when I’m not worried about my rent going up...

Really wish the Star Trek franchise hadn’t decided to shit itself up with X-Files/Men in Black/conspiracy theory Section 31 nonsense.

Wish even more that they had just left it in DS9 and didn’t bring it into all the new series.

Why is the STAR TREK franchise unwilling to portray and explore human totalitarianism?

Sorry, it's really funny to me that we're watching your Star Trek obsession unfold. It's a great franchise. I love it, and ur artwork is great!

THANKS lmao it was inevitable……… i do think its funny that you say obsession though ive posted it Twice here like. you are not wrong but i think i managed to spare most of you by relegating my Thoughts to my close friends story

theres too much star trek media though i fear ive condemned myself

#id been meaning to finish tos for like. i dunno six years maybe ive definitely watched the first handful of episodes like three times haha #oh definitely more than six years jesus christ. time #apologies to my close friends list but youll have to struggle with me #rhis was all like 2-3 weeks ago for reference #ask #anon #im so good at getting invested in things that have been Over for at least a decade but usually longer #though star trek is still like an Active Franchise.. unusual #im on tng now. slowly. why are there so many seasons where are my 2-3 season shows at #i like geordi a lot though

[jim-t-kirk]

I think something should be said about the number of characters in star trek that are part of an alien race but still fail to meet its standards and how often we get to see them struggling to be just this one perfect version of a member of their people while still always seeming to fail and yeah no wonder we all gravitate to trek like moths to a flame lol

Listen to me. Shows aimed at kids will always have a lower bar than ones aimed at adults and especially ones aimed at adults who are already invested in the franchise. Prodigy didn't have to be as good as any other modern trek show. And yet, it's better. I do still love LD more but Prodigy is objectively the best new trek show. It's miles above the bar it had to reach while others (definitely Pic, arguably SNW) fail to reach even the bar set for Prodigy, let alone their own bars. Prodigy is a very good show, it both values its predecessors and looks into the future, it treats both existing and new characters fairly, it's the one new trek that truly doesn't shy away from worldbuilding, it preserves the spirit of star trek and even if none of this were true, it's the only show with the intention of bringing in new fans. It truly is the legacy series. Plus it is simply enjoyable to watch.

Watch Prodigy.

#star trek prodigy #original posts fresh from quark's pussy #anti pic #anti snw #i had this sitting in my notes and yea. i'm right. #like EVEN if you don't care if it gets renewed. EVEN IF you don't care whether the franchise dies. prodigy is GOOD! go watch it #for your own sake.
