Oh look, it's another grimdark bloody turd from Alex Kurtzman. The man's unhealthily obsessed with Shin Bet Tal Shiar, Section 31 and other secret intelligence agencies.

The SNW crossover kinda does, at least in an "animated alternate dimension" sorta way. But I'm not sure anything in LD directly contradicts anything that could/would happen in whatever "main timeline" folks might consider to be canon.I think Lower Decks should be canon as well
I just think the TNG visual aesthetic, well demonstrated in LD, as well as the level of tech and the general state of the galaxy (no massive wars, lots of races have reasons to mingle or squabble, there is a place for Starfleet to be both diplomatic and explorers) in the late TNG era is a great one for another traditional style show and I'm not sure why 'they' are so damned reluctant to just give us one!
IMHO the worst things about SNW are the bits they try to hammer into making it a TOS 'prequel'.

I haven't liked any Nu-Trek after the Star Trek movie (2009). I gave up on Discovery very fast as it didn't feel like Star Trek. SNW was a bit better, but it also lacked what made the original and Next Generation so incredibly good.
This is just another step away from fans like me.

If it is just a movie then it's an easy watch. Hopefully we get some good ship fights that are not as crazy hectic as the Abrams ones.
That could've made it a relevant, evident Trek movie and watchable.

This has to be parody or just plain mean-spiritedness at this point, they know how shit this is.
She looks positively ancient in this trailer. A fucking 80 year old grandma kicking ass, in heels, in Star Trek! They have completely lost the plot.

I see they're a lot of TNG fans in here. To me personally the real Star Trek is TOS, I prefer the optimistic tone and the chemistry the old crew had with Kirk, Spock and Bones. So I do prefer Star Trek shows with a bit more action and adventure. My only issue with the new shows is that the writing is terrible.

TOS was a bit too random and low budget for me. A planet straight outta 30's chicago? For all their bangers there were some reaaaalllll stinkers in there as well. I think the films are what cement TOS as quality for me, especially the II-IV run and then VI. Absolute asskicking storytelling in those films and great character work. Sadly TNG never really got a great film and even their best, the Borg one, was accomplished at the expense of neutering their greatest foe. TNG and then DS9 hit the right balance between quality visuals, strong ensemble casts, compelling sci-fi allegories, and a legit narrative of future humanity.

Exactly. Pay me 12 million to be in a piece of shit, stand in shit or eat shit.
I doubt she gives a fuck what the script is if she's get millions for a big budget movie.

I'm not criticizing her for taking that money. I'm questioning someone spending that money on her. Could've gotten Sydney Sweeney for less than that. At least made the movie fappable.
Good grief, her salary has to be 1/4 of the ENTIRE budget fir this thing. You figure Strange New Worlds is 7 mill an ep so a whole 10 ep season is 70mill, no way this movie has a budget even close to that else they would have just done a one off season instead. I'm betting 50 mill tops and she got 12? Hooray for her getting that paycheck I guess.

Idiotic.
The showmakers obsession with this insufferable Yeoh woman is such an obvious "I want to be punished by an Asian dominatrix" admission and it's embarrassing for everyone involved.
But also the writers' love for super-secret Section 31 couldn't possibly be further from understanding Star Trek.
Yes, this is how you do a mature story about secret agencies without making them into some kind of badass-space-CIA as they have lately. But there aren't genuine adults working on Trek anymore at any level, it's worthless childish minds all the way down.

men who are really into this kind of thing, who are exactly the men who shouldn't be in the room when we're talking Star Trek
I think Michelle has her fans, I've liked her work for decades. But for a Star Trek film the cross over isn't there, especially since I never watched much of her run on Discovery. And her English language work is her worst work IMHO. So its an odd thing to crow about how much you paid her when I don't think she will bring much visibility to the show. Unless this thing is intended to break Star Trek into China or something, appealing to "asian girls" is like a 2% demographic at best.
Personally I think these shows need to be courting the Hispanic demo more than anything.

Star Trek has not been so misunderstood since the TNG films. If theyre racing to the bottom then great they’ve succeeded.

I meant more hiring smoking hot Latinas and throwing some Spanish up there. Give me a "Cinco de ocho" lusty Mexican girl over a 70 yo Chinese lady.
