I went to the Star Trek experience in Vegas, a Klingon scared the shit out of me, I was 14 at the time.

Profit, you say?

Those lugs may be the reason DS9 comes at the bottom of my Trek TV list, that and Sisko and his annoying son. TNG is my fave, followed closely by TOS.

Tng bluray won't be that good. The show was filmed on video. The original series was on film, that's why the hd episodes look so sharp. Hard to tidy up video they say.

Also the star trek film needed a new time line. The universe is too full. They would constantly stumble over time lines

I think it was common practice to shoot on film and then transfer to video, although I'm not sure if all of TNG was shot on film, so you could be right for later seasons.

It was all shot on film I bought the taster

And it looks amazing

ArrrRRRRRGGGHHHHHH, it was ALL shot on film for fuck's sake, all the series, except for the CGI stuff (oh, and the end of Enterprise when they moved to HD digital video). It was COMPOSITED on video. Why do you think they're bothering to put it on video? Why do you think people are getting excited about it? Nobody in their right fucking mind would care if they released a Blu-ray of upscaled video footage, it would look like absolute shit.

The new season 1 set is out today and there's no sign of a DVD. If you shop around you can get individual DVD seasons of all the Star Trek series for less than £15.

I'd have just moved things forward a couple of hundred years from TNG era. This would probably work better in a series than a film but it still allows them to do all sorts of new stuff without trampling over the lore. 

It wouldn't have made any money though.

Is Riker's beard film or video?

I think it was edited in on beta max.

There is one star trek episode I don't think they should have ever made. I think its a TNG episode but cant remember it's name. Basically it stated that a humanoid race travelled the galaxy and found no other life. They decide that they didnt want to live as the only race in the galaxy so spread their seed throughout.

Where does Q fit into all this? Surely they would have been around at the time.

It also goes against the Q episode where the primordial sludge mixes together and life begins on earth but in that case Q stopped it from happening thus destroying any chance of humans evolving.

They probably messed up the space time continuum at some point

There is a twitter account called TNG Season 8 which always makes me laugh - excerpts:

Picard must work with a cannibal species that eats its poor. Worf gets loaded on blood wine spritzers and admits he's not a great reader.

A long lost Starfleet ship appears with wood repairs. Barclay accidentally locks himself in Riker's room, hides under the bed. Huge mistake.

A deligation of alien hummingbirds secretly plan to drink Wesley. It's a challenge, but Riker still manages to hook up with one.

Q shows up in a Scarlett O’Hara dress and swaps everyone’s gender to teach Riker a lesson. Geordiela is SO jealous of Dadaette’s hair.

Caretakers of a planet-sized library steal Data's brain to store their massive catalog. Picard won't shut up about chess.
