There is actually a group of people who call themselves Treksperts (it’s a podcast). They’ve gotten to moderate a whole theater of panels at STLV (two years running).

Well… yes and no. The most recent home media release removes all those scenes about the war, the assassination and the reveal.

EDIT: I don’t know why Paramount couldn’t just settle on a director’s cut that they clearly state is separate from the theatrical cut which is canonical. They keep changing the cut with each release.

EDIT 2: I am sure @ummthatguy@lemmy.world, you know this. I’m adding this for others reading my comment who are unaware. Throughout the years, various home media releases for STVI, have inconsistently included and removed a number of (if not all) scenes regarding a secret plan to keep Federation and Klingon Empire at war, as well as the assasination attempt on the Federation President and on top of that a reveal that the assassin was a Human disguised as a Klingon, and revealing that the Human is Colonel West (played by René Auberjonois). A old Director’s Cut showed the fake rescue plan by West and how he eventually was going to attempt to kill the Federation President. Subsequent releases would jumble what scenes got included. Someone would show Colonel West rescue plan scene and the assassination attemp but never the reveal while others showed just the reveal. As of the latest 4K release, all of these scenes have been removed again.

So we are getting a white man problems story (a few of the Bachman books I’ve read are exactly that) that shift hard into environmental classism (pollution aimed at lower classes) with a quarter of the story remaining?

The movie with Arnold was nothing like the book. I wanna see people who are discriminated on, so badly their money isn’t acceptable as currency.

He’s having flashbacks to when the whales attacked.

I had shepards pie at a pub once. Full disclosure I was 13 years old (traveling with family). I thought it was okay as I recall. That’s British, right?

I didn’t notice Picard is full size before he finishes materializing. Is this a “Rascals” scenario?

Reminder, this is another meme from the episode where Riker is accused of murder and rape.

So is Deanna the Trillian equivalent?

Don’t know if Species 8472 would ever partner with Romulans
