I think it’s 10 years pre-TOS.

Just saw Beyond this week and I agree with you there. Some parts of it did feel a bit contrived to me, but I liked it overall. As much flak as Into Darkness gets, I actually preferred Khan to Krall as a villain (probably just because of Benedict Cumberbatch). That being said, I’ll really need to watch the movie a second time to formulate a solid opinion on the various aspects. I picked up on a lot of the TOS moments though. Those were great.

Happy Star Trek day, everyone! For anyone not in the know, the first episode broadcast 50 years ago today.

Welp, Bryan Fuller is no longer the show runner for Star Trek Discovery. He still is working on the show, albeit as an executive producer-but a new writer has also been added to the staff. Akiva Goldman, whose writing credits include the 1998 lost in space movie, I robot, and Batman and Robin. So I’m rather concerned about how Star Trek Discovery will turn out.

To be fair, Goldman also wrote the screenplay for “A Beautiful Mind,” which won the Oscar that year. But the showrunner stepping down definitely isn’t a good sign. On the bright side, as far as we can tell, the production is nowhere near as chaotic as the early work on TNG was. I do have kind of a sinking feeling, though. =/
