Why do people keep commenting about the NX-01? That was a warp 5 ship 100 years ago.

There's a ship at the end of the trailer that shares the same design, it's probably not the exact same one but it's in the same class at least.

It's the USS Franklin:

The shots move quick but the two do share designs more or less.  I wasn't looking to go frame by frame to make sure though.

You know, I really really don't like the JJ-verse ship designs. I don't know what it is, but they just seem - off? Maybe its jut me (though I know tons of people didn't like the Enterprise redesign of course).

They tweak the enterprise design with each movie I think, with it getting damaged yet again in this one I bet by the end and into the 4th movie they'll have another look to it.

I just don't want the JJ-verse to continue to the TNG era. I'll gather a guess as to the design of the Ent-D. And that I'd vomit a little in my mouth :(

I friggin hate the JJprise. Glad it's getting blown up in this film.

Oh no, it's getting completely destroyed here.

Yeah, when the fan thingy in the front of the ship gets nuked, you know the ship is porked. (Sorry, I am totally blanking on the actual name of that part of the ship, I know it but I'm old and tired and don't care lol)

I have really, really high hopes for this. I don't hate the new movies, but they aren't "real" Trek to me. More like, an offshoot in a parallel universe (which it is lol) that is quite a bit different than the Trek I enjoy watching. And I agree with the article writer, Trek is usually way better on TV (but some movies are of course better) and they can tell more intimate stories etc. However between this new show (which I truly hope is in the Prime universe, don't care when really or who they have in it) and Beyond, I'm rather excited for Trek which I haven't been in a long time now. Beyond looks like good fun and while its still part of the offshoot brand Trek, I'll probably like it. But the show, I really hope it lives up to our expectations.

Until Paramount and CBS stop going after Axanar, I'm boycotting "Beyond", and this. Ridiculous how they treat fans. :angry:

hmm...thought that issue was going away per JJ Abrams.  Guess not.  Just read more into it...and just read the Star Trek Fan Film guidelines...truly laughable.

They're within their rights as the content holder/IP owners and they can protect their IP.  The fact most fan made films are terrible shows a poor light on the series.  When they're trying to kick it back to life and bring in new fans, the last thing they want are poorly made, terribly written and acted fan films/series out there to turn people away.

 

I haven't been impressed with any of the fan made stuff, axanar as well, I don't see what some people liked.   I've never been a fan of prequel stories, and true trek isn't about war, it's always been about exploration, right?     Axanars story is weak, CGI is meh and so on.   It's boldly going nowhere.

couldn't care less, i watched what they released so far and it wasn't very good, sure it's got some good actors in it and passable cgi, but it wasn't even up to the standards of enterprise (acting wise) imo. still rather watch any episode of enterpise than fan made stuff.

 

with fan made videos, they can't pull off the magic of proper productions.

Right, but honestly why would anyone spit on their fans in such fashion? I don't get it.

    • FIFA cup is a worldwide event. Total global engagement — FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 (official FIFA report) 5 billion people https://theworlddata.com/fifa-...-cup-viewership-statistics/ U.S., Canada, Japan drive vast World Series viewership for Games 1 and 2 In Japan despite a 9 a.m. local start time, Game One averaged 11.8 million viewers on NHK-G https://www.mlb.com/news/2025-...ching-large-global-audience There are also millions of annual viewers of the World Series in Latin America, especially Venezuela and the Domincan Republic due to the large number of players from those countries playing in the Major Leagues.
    • The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for simply fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection.
    • What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.
