The original project was something anybody could play, and as far as I know if you can find it you can still play it today, and you will be able to forever.
You can’t do that with TRA/OTOY now can you?
streaming-exclusivity is an extremely bad thing.
As for the minecraft stuff, trekcraft exists today, and they have like 4 different iterations of the Enterprise D, with the latest version using a mod to add more detailed blocks and still being worked on today, all the way back to the original.
Almost surely what they wanted the Ambassador class to be. Also what they wanted the NX-01 to be in the beginning before they noticed how much more guns they needed.
J.J. Abrams rebooted the “Star Trek” franchise in 2009, and since then, the three films in the new Kelvin timeline have been a smashing success. Altogether, the first “Trek” reboot, 2013’s “Star Trek Into Darkness,” and 2016’s “Star Trek Beyond” have grossed more than a billion dollars at the global box...

Yeah star trek right now really can’t seem to decide whether “space is cold” or not.
Of course, that’s because the truth has just alittle bit of nuance to it, and nuance is hard for writers.
Space can be cold, depending on where you are, but its also barely even there. No atmosphere means no convection, and that means you’re gonna be losing heat much too slowly for it to be your number one problem if you’ve just been spaced without a suit.
Back in the 2000’s, I was decently involved in the tech world, especially privacy and following/using FOSS. I fell off in a major way as the strain of work and college took over and I just didn’t have the energy to devote to the cause and maintenance of my own resources.

There’s something about the TNG theme (played during the opening credits) that seems unique and special to my ear. But I don’t know about music and orchestral production to make sense of it....
Actually, if you’ve watched TNG’s early seasons, you’ve already heard this unused theme, in bits and pieces.
The very first piece of music heard in TNG ever (that isn’t the intro itself) is a slower, less energetic (more introspective I guess?) version of that unused theme.
The main leitmotif itself appears all over early TNG.
I figure that, when Maccarthy was writing the early filler music, he assumed that his theme would become the main theme, and so heavily leaned into it when writing the filler music. Obviously, the main theme was tossed - but not his other music.
I saw a lot of opinions back in the day about it, and it almost seems like people were offended that they even tried to break the mold at all.
I don’t actually mind Faith Of The Heart for the intro. My biggest problem with it is that its not an original song - it was written specifically for a movie that was completely unrelated to Star Trek.
I would probably appreciate it more if they wrote their own song for ENT - it could even be a country/pop song like FOTH, but it would still be a Star Trek song.
They definitely cherry picked the best bits of the song for the intro though. I like their cover more than the original.
There’s an interview where they tell stories, and apparently after they made this early version of the music, Robert Wise listened to it and gave the best three word critique ever - “There’s no theme!”
Goldsmith basically went “…oh.”, then went back and reworked what he had already into the 2nd version, and there you go that’s the final theme.

Is there any equivalent to the Star Trek viewing party sub yet? I’m watching through Next Gen right now and reading through each episode’s thread afterwards is pretty enjoyable. There isn’t enough love for TOS on that sub though
You know, the feeling I'm getting is that !startrek is a lot more general than r****t startrek was. There's only three boards here, so everything goes in one of the three. And the vast majority goes into this one.
Given Trek fandom are often the first colonizers of online spaces in internet history (eg newsgroups) losing major Star Trek communities is big L for Reddit.
EDIT: Not permamently locked subreddits, got that wrong I think!
