i loved Michelle Yeoh on Discovery, loathed her character. The closer this gets to release the more I dread the results.
I'm going to hate watch this even more than I do Strange new worlds. I do appreciate fresh takes on the Trek universe, dark or no, but this seems like generic action sci-fi that happens to tie into ST canon. I'll be happy to be proven wrong when it airs.

My plan is to go in expecting a goofy action movie, and hopefully I’ll find at least parts of it more compelling than that.
I’ve always felt that the Georgiou character is potentially interesting, and I liked her Discovery send-off. Of the “new” characters, Alok sounds interesting, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with Garrett.
I’m giving myself 50/50 odds of enjoying it.

I echo what you said elsewhere, if I get a goofy action movie (or better) then I won’t be disappointed and it will be nice to see the Discovery-era one last time.

the Discovery-era
Well, this seems poised to be set sometime after “The Undiscovered Country,” which is actually one of the more interesting aspects for me.

I hope we get a de-aged Shatner appearance (I don’t actually hope that… I think)

I would love that! Give the lost part of the Monster Maroon era (mid 2290s-2340s) some love.
The weird thing is April from SNW should canonically still be alive due to TAS:”Counter-clockwise Incident”.

The presence of a young Rachel Garrett seems to suggest it (she was likely born around 2300, so the movie could take place around 2330).
I don’t know if we’ll see any actual maroons, though - I think they’re operating outside of the Federation.

I just realized another thing about April - assuming humans live 120 years on average in the Trek universe and April got turned roughly 20 in Counter/Clock, an elderly April could still be alive in the 2360s or 70s.

A much hyped fanfilm from the post Enterprise/pre-Disco days where fan films were all we had to keep us going. “Renegades” had a good amount of hype around it because it had a real budget and the cast they managed to get. Unfortunately money can’t buy taste and the actual script is pretty bad.

Hey thanks, it’s all new to me. I know what I’m watching this weekend.

I have never seen so much monotone reading of dialogue. Renegade Soval carried every scene he was in, so at least there’s that.
Thanks for opening my eyes to something new 🍻

I don’t want to get too excited in this time of contraction in the entertainment industry, but it’s exciting that they’re opening the door to this era.

No, I’m good thanks.

Ooh, is there a hot take here?
I havent heard much about it, sorry if I’m retreading a tired topic.
It looks atrocious. That’s really about it.

It really feels like they watched Star Trek Renegades and were like “YES”.

What’s this, what’s this? There’s Trek alum everywhere!

Hard pass. I don’t need a movie of the Star Trek series so bad that many fans, myself included, refuse to acknowledge it as canon.
