Black mirror is a lot like a modern Twilight Zone, which early Star Trek was significantly influenced by, and now a fan who directed an episode inspired by Trek gets to do actual Trek?
I can feel my hopes getting up.
That episode is pure gold.
Well, as long as it’s nothing like that episode, it should be fine.
I remember an episode of CSI years ago where they were investigating the murder of someone who was rebooting a very Star Trek show into something super dark and gritty, with none of the hope and positivity the original show had. That seems to be the trend of a lot of Star Trek properties the last few years, and it makes me think the writer of that episode was quite prescient.
Oh good, another prequel.
The “I won’t try it because it’s a prequel” argument reminds me of “Deep Space Nine is boring because the station doesn’t move”, as if every episode of TNG or TOS involved the ship being in motion, and if the presence of nacelles was somehow what made the writing good.
it sounds like they want to cover the birth of the Federation, so maybe it’s a bit of an Enterprise follow-up?
unfortunately it’s kelvin timeline so … ugh
The timeline didn’t split until the Narada showed up. So, if it’s before that moment, it is still the original timeline.
