In Gaming, Star Trek Online wraps its year-long Klingon Civil War saga. This week's Community Question is: CQ: If you could change one thing about the Voyager finale, what would it be? Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! TREK IT OUT Edited by Jake Morgan Abandoned ‘Star Trek: Voyager' Finale Ideas Could Have Given the Sendoff It Deserved By Rosco McQueen It was a night when the question that had plagued fans over the course of seven years would be answered - will Voyager return home in the series finale? The feature-length final episode “Endgame” aired 20 years ago on May 23, 2001, and this week the series milestone was celebrated, commemorated and dissected. The Hollywood Reporter spoke with many of the cast and crew discussing the potential finale ideas that were left mostly in the writers room.    Suggestions included killing off Captain Janeway or Seven of Nine, reverse assimilation of the Borg, and the idea that Endgame could have been a mid-season episode to allow for the crew to explore returning home to the Alpha Quadrant. Star Trek: Discovery's Shazad Latif talks Section 31 "rumblings" By Roscoe McQueen Everyone's favorite Klingon-turned human-turned Section 31 agent, Ash Tyler, has been in the news this week discussing the Section 31 spinoff, and it turns out details are… few. To the point of… mysterious. Speaking with Digital Spy this week, actor Shazad Latif talked about the spin-off series currently being up in the air due to actors' schedules. "It's just been slight yeses, slight questions, but I've no idea. I think it's down to people's schedules. I spoke to Ethan Peck briefly the other day. He's started the other one [Star Trek: Strange New Worlds], and that's about it." The only other details we have come from Alex Kurtzman, who was more hype-man than detail guy. Kurtzman said the show is well on it's way and the writers have put together a great script as well as a Section 31 writers room. All other details are shrouded in a veil of secrecy. Star Trek: Mirror War Will See Evil Picard Finally Face Justice By Rosco McQueen It's one aspect of the Star Trek franchise that was never delved into in the The Next Generation tv series.  The Mirror Universe. Thankfully the folks at IDW comics have taken the dagger and stabbed with it. Repeatedly. And explored the world in the 2018 series “Mirror Broken”.  The series saw a frustrated and aggressive Captain Picard in command of the Stargazer. The crew, including Inquisitor Deanna Troi and a Borg-ified version of Data, worked towards destroying and salvaging Cardassian and Klingon ships for profit and maintaining the borders of the weakened Empire. Eventually Picard's frustrations and ambitions led the Captain, complete with goatee, to steal command of the Empire's newest Galaxy-class warship from Captain Jellicoe.   Now the repercussions of the not-so-good Captain's actions will be explored in “Mirror War”.   In the nine-part series, evil Picard will face the wrath of the Emperor for his crimes. Why is the Emperor angry at Picard? We'll have to wait and see.  The Mirror War will also be complemented by four tie-in one-shots, each of which will follow an evil version of a prominent Next Generation character, beginning with Data. Quick News Roundup Now, here are a few headlines that we didn't discuss but might interest you. Links, of course, will be in our show notes! In a recent installment of Variety's Streaming Room, Alex Kurtzman and Sonequa Martin-Green share their insights on Season 3 of Star Trek Discovery… How canon influenced their decision to jump to the future, Burnham's Journey, and the importance of representation on screen. No juicy TrekNuggets about Season Tig Notaro confirms Engineer Jet Reno's return in Season 4 of Star Trek Discovery during an interview with The AV Club. According to Notaro, the writers and producers are incredibly flexible with her time and give her lots of flexibility with her other professional endeavors. She also confirmed that she does not riff and/or ad lib… but that her dialogue is completely written for her.

Back then they were hiring up important executives. Now they've announced the landing of more than $40 Million in financing. The investment comes from sources like Galaxy Interactive, Horizons Ventures, Iconiq Capital, and Tencent. Bad Robot Games CEO Anna Sweet released a statement saying the VC backing will be good as they look to “change the way people interact with and view video games.”. The company has announced that its first title will be an original Triple-A game developed internally, and with the collaboration of Bad Robot's film, TV and animation teams. It's not a lot of information, and there's no hint yet that Bad Robot Games will be working on a Star Trek title. But the film studio has produced every Star Trek film since 2009, and we can hope for new games! They also produced films for that OTHER “Star” universe, but we won't speculate about games for them!

Dans le cadre des rediffusions de Star Trek pour les nuls ! C'est la semaine spéciale comics ! 1 jour, 4 épisodes, 4 comics ! Aujourd'hui avec Dragor et Pauline nous parlons de Mirror Broken, le premier tpb sur trois consacré à l'univers Miroir de TNG !

Bienvenidos la séptima edición del 2019 de #RemerasRojas, el programa de radio #Trekkie hecho en vivo desde Argentina para toda los cuatro cuadrantes (nos contaron que en el gamma varios pelotones de Jem´Hadar se reúnen los lunes a las 21hs sólo para escucharnos). En este episodio empezamos charlando un poco del nuevo capítulo de #Discovery "Project Daedalus" y con una nueva noticia para el cast de la serie de #Picard. Después vuelve la sección "Sin Tripulación No Hay Viaje" donde tratamos de que conozcas un poco más a Jason Isaacs, el querido y amado por muchos Capitán Lorca. Luego, en nuestra sección "El Capítulo de la Semana" seguimos con la temática de #VirusLocos y esa vez vamos reseñamos "Fascination" el capítulo de #DS9 donde todos se ponen cachondos porque doña Lawxana Troi estaba con una especie de menopausia que le agarra a los Betazoides. En este programa también tenemos nuestra mini-sección "Aunque Usted No Lo Crea" donde, gracias a la red micelial y un poco de ADN que conseguimos por ahí, el gran Jack Palance nos acompaña mientras conocemos alguna historias extrañas del mundo trek. Después nos ponemos literarios y en nuestra sección "Libros Trek" hablamos de "Mirror Broken" la miniserie de 5 números donde se nos cuenta qué es de los personajes de #TNG en el Universo Espejo y cómo llegan a hacerse con la primera nave Clase Galaxi que tiene el Imperio Terrano. Y como siempre cerramos con nuestras efemérides Trek, "Esta semana en Star Trek" (a pesar de que esta vez son de 2 semanas), donde mencionamos nacimientos y muertes de esa gente que fue parte de la franquicia y queremos recordar, pero no nos da como para hacer un informe especial. ------------------------------------------------- Buscanos en nuestras redes: Facebook: www.facebook.com/remerasrojas Twitter: www.twitter.com/remerasrojas Instragram: @remerasrojas Ivoox: ar.ivoox.com/remerasrojas Youtube: RemerasRojas -------------------------------------------------

The Weekly vmcampos Comic Book Club - 123 S3E19 Star Trek The Next Generation Mirror Broken #1. Let's look at the dark reflection of our own future, and see what might have been.

Spock's World. Vulcan: more than any other fictional world within the Star Trek universe, this desert planet has captured the imaginations of Trek fans since we caught our first glimpse of it in the Original Series episode "Amok Time." We know a lot about Vulcans through Spock, Sarek, and the handful of other Vulcans we have met in Trek over the years, but what are the people of that world really like? What is the history of that alien world, and how do they view us, the illogical, emotional neighbors that might threaten their logical view of the universe? In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther are joined by Earl Grey's Justin Oser to talk about a beloved classic Trek novel, Spock's World. We discuss the two tracks the story follows, the nature of Vulcans, a series of Vulcan TED talks, the diversity of the Enterprise crew, the Enterprise's BBS, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings. In the news segment, we talk about the recent announcement of a new TNG mirror universe comic that follows up on last year's Mirror Broken series.

David R. George III: Original Sin. Benjamin Sisko has inhabited many roles in his life: husband, Emissary, and Starfleet Captain. But when a terrifying alien force attacks the USS Robinson and abducts 87 children, including Sisko's daughter Rebecca, his role as her father threatens to overwhelm all of the others, especially since this incident mirrors the kidnapping of Rebecca as a toddler six years earlier. Can he remain objective through this crisis and see it to a peaceful end, or will the possibility of the loss of his daughter spell doom for the mission? In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined by author David R. George III to talk about his latest book, Deep Space Nine: Gamma: Original Sin.

Now, it's up to Picard and his crew, along with Q and his family, to thwart this enemy and keep the galaxy as we know it from complete and utter destruction. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther are again joined by The Edge and Earl Grey host Amy Nelson to talk about the final novel in the Q Continuum trilogy, Q-Strike by Greg Cox.

Q-Space. When Q appears on the bridge of the Enterprise-E to stop a scientific experiment, Picard is understandably annoyed. Defying Q, the Enterprise presses on in its attempt to breach the galactic barrier that surrounds the Milky Way. However, they may be in over their heads as cosmic forces collide that may spell doom for the crew of the Enterprise and the rest of the galaxy! In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined by Earl Grey's Amy Nelson to discuss the first book in the Q Continuum trilogy, Q-Space by Greg Cox.

Q-Squared. During the original five-year mission, Captain Kirk and his crew found themselves at the mercy of a seemingly-omnipotent being: Trelane.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard will stop at nothing to get his hands on the Empire’s newest warship, the ISS Enterprise, be it lies, deception…or murder. With enemies and allies around every corner, Picard’s quest to help the Enterprise and restore the Empire to glory will not be an easy one. Good thing he has a crew onboard who will also stop at nothing to ensure total victory — at any cost.

Enemy Unseen, Part 2. 100 years earlier, a malevolent entity that feeds on fear threatened the crew of the Enterprise under Captain Kirk and framed Scotty for murder. At the time, Redjac, also known as Jack the Ripper, was thought to have been banished for all eternity. However, he has returned to terrorize the crew of another Enterprise! In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson present part two of our discussion about the Star Trek comics collection, Enemy Unseen, which includes the story Embrace the Wolf. We talk about a sequel to "Wolf in the Fold," Redjac, the unorthodox method used to defeat him, overcoming our fears, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.
