I don't know who this is meant to be for, but evidently it isn't me.

How is this not a total final space ripoff?

Yeah really amazing work

That was probably his best vid but he has a channel with some others here

I like these also

How can a fan make better visuals than a team of so called professionals? It really puts whoever handled the CGI for Picard to shame.

I actually kinda like it.

Sure it's no Rick and Morty.
Sure it's no Final Space.

But I actually like the idea of it being canon that there's a ship of screw ups roaming the galaxy and getting into very unprofessional scrapes and shenanigans

We already know there's such a ship, Voyager ran for 7 seasons.

You know what I mean.
We all know Voyager was the best Trek, but there's a place for goofball Trek too

Double post!

the show would be fine if it wasn't pushing agendas....

Jonny2284 · 23 Aug 2020 at 20:26

Do you have a post anywhere on these boards that isn't moaning about SJWs and agendas?

I preferred the idea someone else came up with, where the adventures of the various generations of USS Enterprise crew were shared by other ships across the fleet, so there were hundreds of ships all having similar adventures all the time - So some Admiral back at Starfleet is just going through different ships logs like "Hmmmm USS Defiant travelled back in time to WW2, USS Musashi had a minor border skirmish with the Romulan's, USS XYZ met a new race of omniscient beings called the Q & USS Voyager had a diplomatic incident with the Iyaaran ambassadors - Ah, same poop different day!" etc etc.

I prefer that notion to the opposite of the Enterprise being the best of the best and having all these adventures whilst the entire rest of StarFleet are just mundanely plodding through space with "adequate" crews, never doing anything worthwhile.

But we would never have got quality episodes such as tuvix

Wow this is pretty bad..

Vanquish-Storm · 14 Sep 2020 at 21:12

Any news on when this is available in the UK?

Efour · 3 Oct 2020 at 18:47

Just binged the other 8 episodes.

I like it.

Better than the other garbage

glenimp617 · 3 Oct 2020 at 19:11

I'm going to give this a go, but imagine a proper 24th century cgi show like the clone wars

Efour · 3 Oct 2020 at 19:17

It actually pays to know your startrek.
It's a non stop torrent of name and place drops.

Btone · 8 Oct 2020 at 15:35

was worth it, if for no other reason than to hear the way Riker goes to warp

cu3ed · 8 Oct 2020 at 22:04

I really enjoyed it, all the little throw backs was fun I think I would prefer a season of that version of Riker. Can't believe they missed not doing the Riker manoeuvre with a chair though!

Efour · 10 Oct 2020 at 19:59

Was that Frakes and Sitris for real?
Damn now only discovery to not look forward to.....

All in all 8/10. I don't like the blatant "dick" jokes anything that naff is just not funny for my taste.

Not just name drops either, I'm pretty sure I spotted Morn in episode 2.
