I just read the Destiny trilogy. I don't know if its canon or not, but explains the origin of the Borg.

By the way, having read a few of the better Star Wars extended Universe novels and some of the Star Trek omniverse, I can say that the Trek books are better stories for the most part, with better more developed characters that rely on fewer plots that hinge on "magic". The Star Wars books aren't horrible, well, most of them... They just have to reach farther and fail to grasp more often.

minor spoilers / official synopsis for Star Trek Into Darkness (Summer 2013)

oh and I read a while back that ENTerprise will soon be available in HD (not sure if all or most was already shot in HD back in the day, so they don't require gigantic restoration projects and $ like TOS and TNG.)

fellow earthlings,vulcans, klingons and all...

 

Your thoughts on the Into Darkness trailer, ENT and TNG in HD, the director guy and other Star thing.


Can't wait for the new movie.

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't care who the villain is or who directs the 3rd movie with the guy also getting his hands on the other Star thing, as long as the Into Darkness story is good and the wait for the 3rd movie isn't 4-5 years again.

 

Would love a new TV (Mini)Series above all tough.

 

Considering getting HD ENT once all seasons have been released and the price dropped a bit.

did you see the 9 minute preview that played before The Hobbit, that really got me excited for this movie.

As someone who's been watching Trek since as long as I can remember (never got into Voyager or Enterprise... though...), I think what JJ Abrams did was nothing short of a miracle.

 

And INTO DARKNESS will take it further into what we've wanted for years.  I rarely go to the theatres anymore, but I've seen every Bond and every Trek in the darkness with a few hundred friends since the 70's.

I have often dreamed of going full Trek and declaring war on Star Wars. I'm inching closer day by day.

Nope. It wasn't shown over here at all, sadly.

Still excited about it though from the trailers and well the lack of new Star Trek (and good SciFi) in general.

Not long after my exams the new adventure should finally be on the big screens thankfully.

Infact I've started a full rewatch (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT) of all series and I'm currently towards the end of TNGs Season 2.

It will be the 1st time that I'll see all episodes, as well as in chronological order.

 

Remarkable how some stories and effects are still valid and cool, even 20 years later, but damn, that carpet hotel is a bit too tidy for my taste.

 

Regardless that is an epic picture of ThommyMack on the TNG bridge!
