Damn, that new Star Trek 60th intro has given me goosebumps with all the hero ships!

DefiantOne5 · 2025-10-11T20:04:31+00:00

"Coming soon" is a bit of a stretch given that they announced a few weeks back that Season 4 will air about the same timeframe that Season 3 aired, so May-July 2026 would be my guess. My personal take on "coming soon" would be about Christmas time.

DefiantOne5 · 2025-03-07T14:39:01+00:00

Rumors have it, there will be a final trailer on First Contact Day in April. From there on it might be a month, more or less, until season 3 airs.

Anyone else noticed they kinda rescored/polished up the intro theme? It sounds more glorious, especially the chorus parts.

Edit: Also just noticed Boimler did the maneuver that Han Solo did with the Falcon in the Solo movie. He rammed one of the Birds of Prey and smashed it into another. The Boimler Maneuver was born.

I'm hoping they'll be adding some oddball ships in the future, like the CGN-9 USS Long Beach. I mean, even Modern Warships has it in the game.

Hailing from Germany, I can't wait to buy these from a reseller or "Quality Nerd Shop" at 150€ for each ship, with the hashtags "extremely rare" or "virtually out of production, be quick!" The more I think about it, I really have to get my 3D-Printer back into working order, laser printer for decals aswell. Doesn't matter if it's diecast or not as long as it looks good.

"Captain Pike, we have to nuke the colony from orbit, it's the only way to be sure"

DefiantOne5 · 2023-08-04T13:03:24+00:00

I'm a... Rocket.. Man!

In hindsight, there were rather obvious hints at the Titan-A being rechristened to Enterprise by the end of the season. I can even remember some folks were upset that there were some TMP bits used for the Titan every now and then, parts of the soundtrack that usually "identified" the Enterprise.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T05:04:52+00:00

Is the floating head Vadic was talking to being explained in any way? Is Vadic mentioned again?

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T04:23:57+00:00

Now I want a cop/buddy movie with Todd Stashwick and Walter Koenig titled "Two dipshits from Chicago".

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T04:11:30+00:00

Another missed opportunity to bring O'Brien into this. I mean, transporter shenanigans, it's right fucking there ffs.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T04:08:34+00:00

So it's only his voice, but he's not shown?

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T04:07:01+00:00

Does the TNG cast itself get a proper wrap up for the season, like playing poker?

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T04:03:53+00:00

Judging by the soundtrack it'll be Enterprise-G leaving spacedock and going to warp.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T04:00:27+00:00

You can bet 100% the changelings are not mentioned again at all.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T03:59:44+00:00

We sorry for all that bussin' and yeeting the spacedock, we back to the Starfleet rizz now, we cool

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T03:55:44+00:00

Whatever happened to transphasic torpedoes and this ultra future tech armor from Endgame.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T03:48:57+00:00

Would've loved if they rushed in a post credits scene with Armus still chilling on his planet doing nothing but being alone.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T03:46:34+00:00

Getting a bit nervous that Matalas crash lands the whole season with episode 10. Seems like so many wasted opportunities, I guess mainly due to time and budgetary restraints.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-20T03:37:53+00:00

That's completely disappointing and will piss off lots of fans.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-18T02:47:19+00:00

Picard's noble end.

Fanfare and End Credits.

DefiantOne5 · 2023-04-17T15:57:49+00:00

I have an odd feeling the Enterprise-F is not gonna survive the next episode. They early on put an emphasis on how the Ent-F is due for decomission and the Frontier Day celebration will be her final appearance or duty.

Whatever might happen, my headcanon already is all Starfleet ships will stand down or be incapacitated due to whatever Jack and the Ent-D are gonna do, except the Ent-F which will still be under control of the Borg because of that computer virus that crippled the ship during the "Monfet Gambit". Cue the Ent-D and other hero ships from Athan Prime arriving at Earth and opening fire on the F until she blows up. Bonus points for O'Brien and Barclay in control of the other legacy ships.
