The only question i have for those who made this:

"Why?"

So gone are the days when the future was bright and full of hope. I think I shall watch this series to see how it turns out, it's definitely a very different Star Trek.

Dystopian is the new thing in sci-fi. There are several authors trying to buck the trend, but the... masses want more dark future. I suppose it isn't a stretch of the imagination to come up with a reason why; budget cuts for NASA, scientists and education, space shuttle mothballed and replaced with pre-shuttle style capsules, Honey Boo Boo...

Our future isn't really looking all that bright, so people want a darker future sci-fi to mesh more seamlessly with our impending dark future?

Personally I would like more optimistic sci-fi.

That's how it's been for a while with Star Trek, though. What was DS9? We'll throw a bunch of folks into the middle of several conflicts and we'll make it dark. What was Voyager? We'll take away the Federation entirely and put the crew in an impossible situation and make it dark. What was Enterprise? We'll take everything to where it began, but they have like no technology at all and they'll always be in the middle of horrible things--hey, we'll even blow up Earth!--and we'll make it dark.

If you look at the arts overall these days, we're in a period of mannerism, a period of derivation and copying. We're not going to see anything bold or fresh for a while yet. Which sucks if you're an artist working right now.

:lol: yay I have TS3 from my old fleet so i know how to use it and what not :)

Well I am already set to use Team Speak but wont be able to speak til I get a mic to talk into..

Im a sad little man..

I've been shepherding people across from Vent tonight onto TS3 and helping them get all set up :)

TS3 = Amazing!!!!

Loving it. I can't get the overlay to work properly though, even some of the the other overlay plugins are problematic. Not a big deal though the voice clarity is amazing! Very easy set up for those who are not so adept at VoIP software.

Is there a TS Stonewall room already?
If so, I might join tonight or tomorrow.

I watched this for the first time this morning! So now there are 2 hopeful new trek series out there.

Two?

I took my first shot at setting up TS today, and am having a lot of fun picking my themes and plugins... loving it!

Plus, what you focus on as an individual is what you get, and to some extent that applies to societies as well.

Exactly. In my opinion, the dark stuff is an awful trend, everyone is doing it, I'm so over it -the dark bleak future style writing. I guess this is why Star Trek: TNG, VOY, even DS9 had been my refuse for a hopeful future because I see all the other dark stuff in current day television left and right including the real world.

I watched this for the first time this morning! So now there are 2 hopeful new trek series out there. This one looks as though its getting some good backing already though. I like the Dark side of trek idea, as long as there is some optimism in the general storyline. A new hope for the future of the federation etc...

Agreed Angel, that's why my favorite sci fi series of all time, the Honor Harrington universe remains my favorite, just slightly above some others ;)

Cool idea! I just moved my last character to Stonewall yesterday. My Ferasan Engineer. :)

Rife with gay cliches and stereotypes comes the Ultimate Gay Fighter. It looks like a fighter game with an all gay cast. I'm not sure if this is offensive or funny. They're billing it as the first gay fighting video game which seems a bit of a stretch to me.

This is very exciting news!
