That can't be the final title can it? That would be infinitely more confusing than the episodes with the same titles.

Presumably a place holder or truncated for now.

Star Trek: Enterprise, the new one.

Star Trek, The Original Series, the prequel years.

Or we've misjudged it, and we're getting the Picard style return of Scott Bakula....

For me Voyager missed an opportunity to use the Maquis angle to its full potential. Chakotay being a native american was such a boring part of the show imo.
I don’t mean to cross franchises but the relationship between Colonel Young and Doctor Rush was brilliantly done on Stargate Universe. Both never quite trusted the other and it flared up from time to time but both needed each other. The split between military and civilians was always a factor when deciding how to make decisions that effected all of them.
Stargate Universe was imo a brilliant show that got cut short way too early.

Acoochyama (or something like that) we are far from the land of our father's........

Got very tired very quickly

Ah it’s definitely fun to speculate. Pity they didn’t use his annoyance at not getting promoted as a way to disillusion him to starfleet and have him align with the Maquis or something like that. Definitely should have been harder for Janeway to maintain a starfleet command structure than it was. It’s like they all knew they’d get home within 7 years.

Well apart from Seska, she bailed fairly quick.

I'm pleased it is happening.

But....god, could they have maybe pitched a better title for the show? I'm getting a "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" vibe from that.

It seems to be called Strange New Worlds.

I would say they have not even decided on the title for it yet but that's just a possible title for it if it is even happening.

I also seen today that there is a Star Trek Discovery movie in the works lol. That would be the first Star Trek move I would have no interest seeing in the cinema.

Very happy with news of Captain Pike show

Strange New Worlds works for me, certainly feels like it might reaching for a more exploratory tone if we read too much into three words.

Agreed, it hits the right notes...nostalgic, exploratory, adventure. I thought the "Captain Pike and the Enterprise" title was the name of it...sounds like an animated show for the under 5's.

Stark

Well they did say they had animated shows in the works

Hmmm....lends some weight to the idea that Martin-Green may be a good actress, but has just been horribly directed / written for in Discovery.

pixelburp

Martin-Green is a good actor, and I've seen it in Discovery before during brief moments, but she's saddled by the need to be the Lead Character. It's a classic problem in a lot of American TV fiction: you have an ostensible lead, who needs to be everywhere in the story or plot, but also has to carry the dramatic weight too. So you get these po faced characters with no wriggle room except to be The Dramatic Lead.

Nobody could carry off Burnham without coming off like a stick in the mud; cos that's literally what she's meant to be.

Anyone else think it strange that we never seen a small Borg Cube. In ''I,Borg'' the ship that Hugh and his 4 comrades crashed in was a small Borg Cube but we never actually see one. Maybe at the time the writers thought that all Borg vessel's were cube shaped be it big or small or maybe they just knew that a small Borg Cube would not be as imposing as a big Borg Cube. Myself I always thought it strange that the Borg would have any vessel with less than a few hundred drones on board as the smaller it is the less imposing it would be.

I think you could make a great many statements with the prefix of "Voyager missed an opportunity in ...". That whole show was one big missed opportunity, frequently snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Ohh look at the deep ideological differences they've set up in the main char- oh no... no wait... yeah, everyone's friends now. Ok. Back to Alien Forehead of the Week, I guess.

Well there's the Borg probe, which was about the size of Voyager which would fit the role of a smaller Borg vessel.

I was thinking that too.
Sure enough the standard Cube is probably the main Borg workhorse. Since the Borg do adapt to what they encounter, they probably had the smaller ships for different roles / environments. That Voyager-sized probe likely had a role where a larger Cube may not have been suitable. Entering asteroid fields for example.

Did we see one on screen do? I suppose it was in Voyager if it was on screen.

Yes good point.

Next question. How different do you think the Delta quadrant and more specifically Borg space would have been for Voyager had Picard and crew sent Hugh back to the Borg with the virus? Do you think it would have destroyed the Borg completely? Maybe by the time Voyager got to what was formally Borg space all that would have been left was dead planets and lots of abandoned or destroyed ships.

Don't think so. We've seen many times that the Borg are able to limit contagion so it doesn't spread to the entire Collective. When Data planted the sleep command. When Hugh's individuality contaminated a Borg cube. Several times on Voyager, for example Icheb or the neurolytic pathogen that Admiral Janeway infected the Queen's complex with. The Borg cube that assimilated the ship with the Nads Wash agent on it.

Yeah, Dark Frontier, I only rewatched it on Sunday!
