How long has SFdebris been doing these Trek reviews? Is he going to get around to finishing all the episodes for all the Trek series? There are a lot of episodes he hasn't done that are good.

He came up with the name Future Guy when Enterprise was still on the air so he's been at it for at least over a decade. Albeit back then he was doing reviews text form. No idea how long he's been doing videos.

Aw yeah.
Wrath of khan is on tv here.
Missed the first 45 minutes but the new trailer had me wanting to rewatch it.
Heck I even watched space seed last night so how is that for coincidence?

Same, but I gotta email 'em to get replacement discs for S1. Audio is screwed up on mine.
I think he re-reviewed some episodes when he got the Blu-ray updates of them (for TOS anyways).
they did a marathon again a day later but they actually broke order to show 6 after Generations.
I don't even

GF bought me the Entire movie set (without ST11) on blu ray for xmas.
Which has pretty much swayed my hand to get the rest of the series on Blu Ray.
Ah well. Lets hope we do eventually get DS9 ENT and VOY

I'm probably in the minority but I like 5.
Random thought on Star Trek 6.
At the end of the movie, Kirk plots their course as "Second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning." This is famously the direction one must follow to enter Neverland from Peter Pan. So Kirk intends to live and play forever, never aging? Okay, I guess.
But then I realized that they're not flying there with pixie dust, they're sailing a ship. After telling Starfleet to go to hell. They're pirates! Captain Kirk is going over there to play Captain Hook!

Seems like ENT will be happening; they were even polling people on Facebook about potential cover designs a few months back.

Kirk had a sort of habit of telling Starfleet to go to hell. After a while, they learned to give him some leeway on his eccentricities, because he usually comes back with the ship mostly intact.
Usually.
I'm frankly surprised it's not on Blu-Ray already. It was already filmed in HD.
In Enterprise S2, Shockwave Part 1, they say only Hoshi is small enough to fit into some EPS junction. When they show her moving through it, it clearly looks big enough for anyone who isn't obese to get through.
Kinda annoying that they didn't try to make the junction look tighter lol.

It was tight enough to get Hoshi topless. That's apparently all it needed to be.

Did they use the decon gel so she'd slip in more easily?
edit, more interesting post possibly:
How cool would it be if after STID they introduced a Nextgen TV reboot of sorts (updated to be more cool and modern and edgy but with a similar sprit to the best of TNG) and eventually worked the show so that it built up to some sort of crossover with the new Films?
The Generations we always wanted.
edit: I should note that I just want Trek back on TV so we can have stories that are a little less super-actiony and a little more thoughtful.

Any reboot is essentially going to be TNG rebooted. It may have TOS characters/references but it will be updated in a way that isn't as hokey. Enterprise really streamlined a lot of the SFX and technology in ways that really made TOS irrelevant.
Enterprise S2 finale, where Duras keeps chasing Archer and attacking him, why does Starfleet not take him seriously? They just chase him off the first time, Enterprise just runs away the second time, and finally destroys them the third time.
They were going on an extended mission alone in hostile territory, letting themselves get beat up repeatedly was incredibly stupid. They should've destroyed Duras the first time he attacked them after the refit with Photon Torpedoes. Since they didn't when they had the chance, they ended up taking a lot more damage before they got in and wasted valuable repair resources they would need for their mission.

Duras was basically entirely pointless, and was just a plot device to allow there to be action beats in the story, because you can't have a season finale without action beats in the story.
I'm pretty sure he's never even mentioned again. Probably the most useless Klingon character to ever appear in more than one episode.
Honestly it turned out not to matter, as their repair resource situation became utterly fucked regardless once they started running into Expanse weirdness.

That may be so, but if you're on a critical mission that could decide the survival of your home world, you'd think that you wouldn't be very tolerant of anyone attacking you during your mission.

I thought it was odd Amazon put one of the SFX screw ups as one of their product images
I feel like you skipped a couple episodes you shoulda watched. Some of the Andorian/Vulcan stuff is decent background for season 4.
I've seen that too, I forgot to mention because I was tired when I typed that.
Watch all Suliban/Vulcan/Andorian/Romulan/Xindi/Season 4 episodes and Enterprise is a pretty solid show.
It also feels much more like a modern show than older Trek. The action is faster paced and more aggressive.

That's an image contributed by a customer. Amazon says who uploaded it to the right.
Enterprise S3 is glorious... well except the finale.

I feel like I enjoy voyager much more than the majority of this thread. Its got problems but I still enjoy the majority.
the finale was fine (if cliched) up until it's very ending.

Riker isn't in the Season 3 finale. The part he's talking about is when we see the Space Nazi.

So I'm watching Star Trek IV The Undiscovered Country for the first time.
Watching the BluRay since the GF got me the collection for Xmas.
Initial Impressions.
Chang is a great villian He has the look and vibe of a villian.
The Enterprise looks fantastic
BluRay looks immaculate
Very impressed with everything. I went in expecting very little but so far iv been impressed.
Also I seen sisko's dad and worf

Yeah Michael Dorn is playing Worfs grandfather in the movie. Siskos dad actor is just coincidence casting as they aren't related. Undiscovered Country was a pretty good send off for the TOS crew.

Sisko's dad played the same admiral in Star Trek IV as well.

Tuvok was in generations (no not really but it is Tim Russ who apparently auditioned for every role in hollywood)

Tim Russ was in a few Star Trek episodes before Tuvok. He was in the TNG Episode Star Trek Mine, and a DS9 episode where he played a Klingon. He was apparently on the short list of actors for Geordi when TNG was being cast, he's a Trek fanboy. Given how soon Voyager was airing after TNG, I've always been surprised they didn't slap Vulcan Ears onto him in Generations.
I love ST6, but I keep being bummed that Valeris was not actually Saavik. The script clearly was made for Saavik, and then they did a find-replace for Valeris. Almost every line Valeris has in that movie would make more sense as a callback to dialogue spoken by Saavik in Wrath of Khan, her motivations would make more sense due to what happened right in front of her in Search for Spock, and it just would have made for a more effective "turn".
Two cast changes for the character would have been too much, though. Especially since the second woman who played her was not even half as good in the role as Kirstie Alley.

I dont think the lady who played her in ST3 even knew what a Vulcan was. She was far too emotional to be playing that character.

I'm pretty sure she wasn't played by Jolene Blalock.
So I just finished reading David Mack's latest trilogy (Cold Equations) and it started out great, with it focusing around soong and androids and the breen and gorn. But the third book just went a little off the fucking rails. I like Mack, I think he knows how to toe the line between ridiculous and entertaining, but this one was a bit much. I did appreciate his attempt to redeem Wesley somewhat.
