]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 19:00:17 GMT https://screenrant.com/star-trek-biobed-sickby-medical-tech-explained/ Quentin Tarantino's unmade Star Trek 4 movie has become one of the franchise's great "What If?" questions, but it didn't happen for a number of reasons. The Tarantino project was just one of many prospective versions of Star Trek 4, the next entry in J.J. Abrams' Kelvin Timeline franchise. Various versions of Star Trek 4 have risen and fallen since 2016, including a return by Chris Hemsworth as Lt. George Samuel Kirk in a time travel movie. The most intriguing of these possible Star Trek 4 ideas was the script written by Quentin Tarantino and Mark L. Smith, writer of the Oscar winning Leonardo DiCaprio movie The Revenant.

It was already established in Star Trek: Discovery season 2 that Pike has foreknowledge about the sacrifice he will later make. Strange New Worlds' crossover episode also hinted to Pike that he's a bit of a legend in the 24th Century, when Ensign Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) admitted to dressing up as him for a Halloween party. However, these two things are practically all that Pike knows about his future.

In 1981’s Star Trek #13, first published by Marvel Comics, McCoy meets his estranged daughter on a distant world – and she brings out a highly problematic dark side to the good doctor.

Kirk (William Shatner) was a father throughout Star Trek: The Original Series. In Star Trek's first-ever musical episode, Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) beams aboard the USS Enterprise to shadow Number One (Rebecca Romijn) ahead of his promotion to Commander. Kirk's return to the Enterprise allows Lt. La'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong) to come clean about her tragic romance with his alternate reality counterpart, something she hopes may lead to a relationship with Prime Universe Kirk. Sadly for La'an, Kirk is already committed to Dr. Carol Marcus, who is pregnant with his child.

Star Trek: Prodigy is the franchise's first show to be geared toward younger audiences, and premiered on Paramount+ in 2021 to a positive reception from critics and viewers alike. Unfortunately, Paramount canceled Prodigy in June 2023, removing it from the streaming service soon after. Since the series' cancelation, an outpouring of support from fans had led to hopes of Prodigy being picked up by a different streaming service, especially given that season 2 of the show was nearly completed.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 22:19:02 GMT https://screenrant.com/star-trek-prodigy-season-2-new-voyager-ship-doctor-return/ Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was the biggest and most ambitious Star Trek show of the time, and featured a huge cast of characters that extended far beyond the titular space station's crew. Star Trek: DS9 was the first of three shows to spin off from the hugely successful Star Trek: The Next Generation. Set on a space station instead of a starship was the first of many ways in which Star Trek: Deep Space Nine broke with tradition. Set amidst the fallout from Cardassia's withdrawal from Bajor after decades of oppressive rule, DS9 was a show that was never afraid to interrogate Gene Roddenberry's utopian vision at the turn of the 20th century.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 15:00:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/star-trek-snw-pike-kirk-captain-canon-change/ Genetic augmentation is illegal in the Star Trek universe, and the superhuman powers displayed by Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) and his fellow Augments is a good example of why those laws exist. Star Trek: The Original Series first introduced the concept of the Augments in the classic episode "Space Seed", which introduced Khan as the future nemesis of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner). The product of 20th century genetic engineering, Khan and his fellow Augments ruled the Earth with an iron fist before in-fighting led to the Eugenics Wars and the eventual outlawing of genetic enhancements.

A crossover between Scott Bakula's underrated Star Trek show and Strange New Worlds was made more likely by the deep love shown toward Enterprise by Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and his crew. The return of Scott Bakula's Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew could go a considerable way toward making up for the show's controversial finale, and as Star Trek is science fiction, there are multiple creative ways to acheive this.

Shaw, played by Todd Stashwick, became a fan favorite during Picard's critically acclaimed third season, which saw many of the original cast members from Star Trek: The Next Generation return. Picard season 3 followed Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) as he sought to help his old friend Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and the son he didn't know he had, Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers). While much of the hype for Picard's final season was due to the returning TNG cast members, Stashwick's Captain Shaw became one of the show's best breakout characters.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 20:18:52 GMT https://screenrant.com/star-trek-picard-captain-shaw-alternate-death/ Though various yeomen appeared over the course of Star Trek: The Original Series, subsequent Star Trek series have rarely featured crew members with that title. The most prominent yeoman character was Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney), who served as the yeoman for Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) aboard the USS Enterprise. After Whitney's departure from TOS following eight episodes of the first season, various young women filled the position of yeoman for the rest of the series. Though Star Trek: Strange New Worlds introduced Captain Pike's (Anson Mount) previous yeoman, Zac Nguyen (David Huynh) in "Among the Lotus Eaters," Pike does not seem to have a yeoman anymore.

Despite several attempts over the decades, there had never been a Star Trek musical until "Subspace Rhapsody". Ronald D. Moore had attempted it twice on both Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, while Linda Park attempted to mount a musical episode for Star Trek: Enterprise.

The episode, titled “Subspace Rhapsody” is the first time any Star Trek show has gone musical, and sees the cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds showcasing the range of their talents by performing the show’s musical numbers themselves. In addition to being something of a groundbreaking step for Star Trek as a whole, the musical episode continues to prove the value of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ genre-bending approach.

Frakes is perhaps the most beloved of Star Trek's directors, especially among the actors.

Whether they involve impossible war-time decisions or terrifying mind games, several Star Trek episodes contain incredibly dark themes and moral dilemmas. Starfleet officers often face off against the unknown, which can lead them to some surprisingly dark places. Situations do not always play out as planned, and conflicts become inevitable with so many different civilizations and cultures involved.

Enterprise, the fourth Star Trek spinoff series executive produced by Rick Berman, was canceled in 2005 after four low-rated seasons on the UPN Network. Frakes reprised Commander William Riker alongside Marina Sirtis, who played Counselor Deanna Troi, from Star Trek: The Next Generation, but the Enterprise finale was really a TNG episode about Riker and Troi visiting the NX-01 Enterprise's heroes in the holodeck, which incensed both fans and Star Trek: Enterprise's series regulars.
