If we were in the Doctor Who community I'd have a meme ready for you.

On a visual note,
The titles are presented on a series of retro-styled trading cards, an homage to Star Trek's colorful 1960s-era merchandise, with a portrait of one of the show's stars on each card.
Sorry Collider, these reference a set of 1976 sticker cards (with the colour scheme keyed up for 2026). You were off by a decade 🙂
Yuck, SNW was all the nostalgia tripping I could take. More boldly going, please!
It certainly lowered my enthusiasm for SFA s2, knowing they went hard with a cliffhanger finale... That show had a lot of spirit and promise, I wanted to follow those kids through the academy.
SNW — I know I'm in the minority here, but I couldn't get into the show's tone, and especially the way it's leading doggedly towards TOS, literally checking boxes for each continuity item. It feels like a dead man walking, and even more so now. This is actually the first time I've looked forward to a Trek show ending.
I dunno, it's almost too neat and tasteful, isn't it? I checked out Matt Ferguson's other anniversary posters, and they have a lot more going on visually.
Sure, this movie's tone is very different, but still.
Love the look on the cop's face on the right hand side. Like, "That's it, I'm transferring out of San Francisco ASAP".
Especially in a world with replicator technology 🖖
Somehow, the news that Looney Labs are reprinting Star Trek Fluxx made me unreasonably happy. And honestly, Lower decks is a perfect fit for the game.
Geez, those Ferengi vendettas go darker than the show let me believe.
This just proves my theory that Star trek and cake has a special connection.
😭 Not Rom!
I'm grateful it isn't going to be legacy characters. There has been a certain fetish for recasting the TOS crew as nauseam, and I'm optimistic that it won't be more of that.
Still, after the Section 31 ~~show~~ TV movie, I'm not too confident that it isn't going to be about a bunch of "lovable" space pirates doing un-Starfleet-like things because that seemed to work for Star Wars and the DCEU...
