    Hoping this turns out. Best of the "Bachman Books" imo and just all around one of SK's tightest.


    I admit to being very curious to find out whether a movie can pull off a satisfactory adaptation of this. The story is very cerebral, the action beats minimal, and the finale both a twist and a trip. It does not lend itself to a visual medium and if they go for either the close adaption thats essentially just a bunch of guys walking, or turn it into THE RUNNING MAN, it will fail at least in my eyes.

    NEEEEEER- I mean hey thanks for the breakdown I've got prime I might check out Picard (though is that a bad place to start?)

    I think it definitely lands better after TNG - it's heavily tied in with a lot of visiting recurring characters. It's a mixed bag to begin with - but the final series in particular is absolutely a love letter to TNG and wouldn't work at all without it.


    I'd go one further and say to appreciate Picard you need TNG (Including the movies) and Voyager. Not a deep dive, following any credible 'best of' list would cover you.

    Discovery made me weep

    I LOVE strange new worlds

    This trailer, I don't know what to make it of it actually. Deep space 9 was actually great trek and being locked to one location it perhaps pioneered longer form storytelling in Trek. It can certainly be done and done well. The lack of exploring though seems like a negative rather than a plus. Even deep space 9 had a ton of episodes with travel and we explored the Bjorans, the gamma quadrant and the dominion and a fresh for trek war story. Not to say academy can't do the same but if it's set on earth it may seem more tame.

    I hope the Doctor isn't just a once off. He probably wasn't such a big hit with me when I was a young teenager but as an adult I realize his character, his arc and his episodes are perhaps the best in voyager.

    Edit: perhaps I should have known this but a quick google search tells me this is the academy of the far future discovery timeline. Yikes!

    Although I guess that means starfleet academy won't be on earth

    Have we ever got a good explanation for why discovery felt the need to butcher the Klingons?


    Future Star Trek: Discovery (aka STD ;) ) timeline? Ok, thanks for that - all I needed to know. I'm out.


    Disco Trek 2: Academy Boogaloo!

    I haven't paid much attention to Trek since Disco failed to hold my attention, but honestly the idea of a big time jump forward does hold some appeal.

    Unbound Worlds now redirects to the PRH website, so that Top 100 fantasy link no longer works. Here's a very similar one though: https://reedsy.com/discovery/blog/best-fantasy-series

    Because some mobile browsers don't resize and it makes the thread unreadable.

    Just out of curiosity, why is it necessary to spoiler big pics on this forum? They go off the page and don't cause the text to unwrap, and they get resized in mobile browsers. I don't mind doing it; just asking.

    There is a word to describe that pic, I just found one in the depths of my convulsing brain. It's DISTURBING but in a funny way.

    If you're keeping score, I think my conversation (in a WoT thread, I think) with that one noob-troll about how to get banned from Malazan is worth a few. (i.e. "I recommend telling Malaclypse he's a douchebag.")

    When the new order rises, lazy posters will be among the first to be purged.

    Good call with the spoilers tags. I didn't want to add them because it makes it extra work to read posts :D
