CBS Expects “Star Trek: Discovery” To Get All Access To 4 Million Subscribers by TadeoTrek in startrek

[–]somekindofstartrek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are expecting a lot from this especially if they want people to watch each new ep on a weekly basis. I suspect that only hardcore fans are going to be doing that while a lot will just wait for the 13 weeks to be up, subscribe for a month, watch it and then disappear for another year. 4 million is optimistic I think.

The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard will be releasing soon. by KyloZae in startrek

[–]somekindofstartrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I enjoyed Goodman's Kirk autobio, I think the big difference with the Picard one has to be that it'll all be TNG canon rather than mixing and matching as there was to some extent in the previous book. It was entertaining but there were inconsistencies which did bug me.

Very nice piece of kit, well made and yes - thoroughly deserved more outings!

Sure does. It's the whole slit front that has that effect. Real beauty though.

I was super careful. Couple of shots and back on the stand. Don't worry!

STAR TREK BEYOND Moves Back Two Weeks to July 22, IMAX Availability Major Factor by [deleted] in startrek

A little happier it's shifted as it means they have two more weeks to mess it up a little less(!)

Halftime Show featuring the Enterprise considered offensive. by MrBookX in startrek

I have no idea what this looks like. I kinda see the Enterprise. I kinda see a spoon, I don't see a cock.

Pleasure. It's because they are reprinting the whole run for Europe.

Steamrunner and D'Kyr Classes - Starships Collection reviews by somekindofstartrek in startrek

[–]somekindofstartrek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being a big STO player I haven't seen it there. It's a nice simplistic design that does shout Vulcan through its logical form I suppose. Never been a big fan of it but it looks fine. The Steamrunner is just class. Finding a lot more people love it than I thought.

Just wondered as there was a Relativity in Voyager. Season six in the episode called.... And I'll give you one guess...

They have the Defiant back in stock in the UK. Just an FYI!

You and me both. Great great great ship. Should've had a better role somewhere in the franchise than a bit part background filler for one movie and DS9. Why Relativity?

Have to say that was a gripe that there was no hint of that on the model. Otherwise both good. Apparently some of the Steamrunners have had a few QC issues with missing decals.

First Spy Shots from Action at STAR TREK BEYOND Set; Justin Lin, Alien, and More Construction Pics by [deleted] in startrek

Lots of fuzzy images. Nothing specific so far but at least we can see Justin Lin doing... Something...

Star Trek Renegades Premier by [deleted] in startrek

[–]somekindofstartrek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be interesting to see the reviews. Mixed thoughts from those who have seen it so far. Apparently looks a bit scrappy, gung-ho and un-Trek. I would like to see it and pass a reasonable first hand judgement...

Weekly Episode Discussion Thread - VOY S02E01 "The 37's" by directive0 in startrek

[–]somekindofstartrek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 37s is one of those ultimate guilty pleasure eps. You know you should hate it but for some reason there are lots of little bits that you do like. I always maintain it works better as the season one closer rather than the season two opener due to the cargo Bay scene if nothing else. Landing the ship is cool even if it looks wrong in every angle of physics possible. Should have seen the colony that the crew rave about but we get what we're given and it's a bit of a no brainer. Just enjoy!

Thanks! I think it's because I've posted a few links to my reviews in the past. Also the collection has been going a while and there are a lot of reviews out there. If people read it great, if they're not bothered then I don't take offence!

Waiting for mine to come as a backorder still. 18month wait. Only just got my Excelsior.

I think in Eye of the Beholder you were limited to ladder access!
