Star Trek

With Paramount announcing it wants to lean heavily into franchises, I would really really like to see a Star Trek show with from this era. I know Kelsey Grammar is occupied with his Frazier reboot, but maybe Alan Ruck is free?

A cameo from Christopher McDonald would also be nice, but it would have to be retconned.

Also known as “Paramount studios cost cutting colony”. We’ve already had one time travel episode filmed using modern day Earth. Heaven forbid the studio actually spend money on a new set.

Also, anyone else spot the fast forward/play/rewind buttons on Pike’s “video call”? 🙄

Scotty’s appearance was already spoiled by online leaks, but I was happy that he showed up nonetheless. I gotta say, though, I will miss Carol Kane being weird and zany :P

There is a new lemmy instance at startrek.website where people from /r/daystrominstitute and /r/risa are migrating. The communities currently there are:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]

I'm posting this here on [email protected] because, with >500 subscribers, it is/was the largest startrek community on lemmy by subscriber count prior to the presently ongoing influx of new users from rexxit.

You can hopefully click the relative links above to access these communities through whatever instance you're reading this on; if you get a 404 then you'll need to go to startrek.website and copypaste the link to each community into the search box on your home instance to cause it to federate them.

Sadly startrek.website is already blocking federation with lemmygrad, home of what has historically been imo the best (and largest by number of posts) trek-related lemmy community [email protected] (here is an absolute link, so people reading this from instances that block lemmygrad can see it). I hope the startrek.website admins will reconsider this block!

edit: here are some other lemmy-or-federated startrek communities from the comments here, and elsewhere:
