I think PRO is a step in the right direction.

He would be a better judge of that observation. However I was at STLV last year and there was a sizable number of younger fans (especially those who are teenage). Maybe not a lot.
- Comment on "Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience? 4 days ago:
What is the age range they are classifying as young? Are they talking like teenagers or mid-20s to 30s? The thing with Star Trek that I think attributes to the non-fans not watching would be the stylization. Going back to the comparison of MCU, HP, and Star Wars: they all have something unique (be it the directing, photography, acting, writing, music, special effects, etc.) that if you pay attention for a significant period will find. Star Trek is no different. When you watch a MCU movie or TV show you probably see the sleek costumes and fast paced fight choreography. With HP, it was probably all the special effects, makeup and set design. For Star Wars it might be the writing, special effects and music.
I’m being non-specific here of course. Star Trek like I said is no different. There are visual and non-visual language being utilized that we find enjoyment in. For anyone not currently into these properties, it could be difficult to enjoy. Especially if you haven’t been someone who watched these properties from a young age or from the early years. For example, if you had someone exposed to only the Kelvin Timeline try to watch TOS or TNG with no context for how it relates, a disconnect might form. Visually those series are not as sleek or modernized as those movies.
As for the comparison to video games… that is simply a different medium. What appeals to one person to the next will be hard to gage. That doesn’t preclude the likes of Fortnite players from enjoying Trek, but culturally that kind of entertainment is very different from what a kid who grow up with TNG was exposed to.

Are we not doing that anymore?

Guess I have a reason to continue the series.

Yeah, but isn’t that name passed down? It has been a while since I read Children of Time (haven’t read the rest of the series). I swear there are multiple spiders over the span of the plot that are given the name.

I once had a conversation with someone about a hypothetical thing and they said it was the plot of this movie.
I eventually watched it after that.

Which leads me to think this occurred before any of it. Or at the time they relegated their lower tier ships and starbase to this mission (explaining why we haven’t heard of California-class before). Everyone else is trying to help Romulus. Which of course we know the black hole created didn’t work, thus leaving the Prime Timeline without Spock.

Was this the story I expected? No.
Did I enjoy this? I thought it was awesome.

The impending supernova doesn’t occur until 2387 and the latest stardate available indicates a year of 2382 (“Fully Dilated”). The synth attack on Mars, which as a reminder was orchestrated by Zhat Vash to stop the evacuation fleet, happened on First Contact Day of 2385. The closest we’ve gotten was PRO, :::which ended season 2 with the attack on Mars occurring in real time.:::

The romance between Bashir and Garak is lifted from a fan-written script that Alexander Siddig and Andrew Robinson participated in table read of. I haven’t watched this but check it out. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL6Y6m9C-4ulaz0BIRw4Kf…

They brought back the Highway Hotjo mug. I thought that was specifically a Cardassian design.
Also I just happened to buy my own recently.

He looks too much like Jeffrey Hunter. How could he have thought to audition for that character instead.
