The cosmic perspective reminds us that in space, where there is no air, a flag will not wave - an indication that perhaps flag waving and space exploration do not mix.
That's pretty cool. I honestly am at a point in my life now where I prefer watching stuff at home. You can get a snack whenever you want, pause the movie to go pee, and you don't have to deal with babies crying in the back of the theater, rude people talking, or someone in the row in front of you with their cell phone on during the entire movie.
I used to love going to the movies when I was younger, but now I'd much rather watch it on my big screen at home. If you calculate the distance from your couch to your TV and the size of your TV, mine is actually bigger than a movie theater screen from that perspective, lol.
Plus, there's also the cost. Why spend $100 to go see a movie that you already own on DVD in the theater? I've purchased pretty much every Star Trek movie on DVD except the last couple. Even those I watched in the theater, and I paid to see them on streaming when they finally came out. I own all the VHSs and DVDs for the original series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. I didn't buy Enterprise. I think that's when I stopped buying them on DVD.
I'm happy to see Star Trek in any form coming to the theater. I think they need to put together another new movie. The last couple were kinda meh, in my opinion, but it's always good to see new Trek stuff coming out. Thanks for sharing.

I will believe it when I see it. Considering Paramount has no idea what to do with Startrek and it's 60 year old star ship.
Jeffrey well, after flops like Discovery and Starfleet Academy, they've actually got something good going with Strange New Worlds. Not every episode is perfect, but most of them are really good, so if they can just segue that into a Kirk-Spock-Bones prequel series, that would be pretty cool.
Or we could admit that it's finally time to stop milking these classic characters and just come up with another crew. I've always had the idea for an anthology series where every episode could be set in some completely different place and time.
One week you've got an episode set on Voyager, or another one set in the Gamma Quadrant. Another episode deals with Klingons, maybe Ferengi. Every week is different, like a Twilight Zone kind of setup, with completely new characters. They could be lower-decks-type characters from ships we already know. We've seen a few actual episodes like that. There's so much they could do.
They need something like this just to stop going back to reboots and the same old characters again.
