Topic: The TV Show Thread

@Tasuki I wonder if it the set includes The New Batman Adventures as well.

I checked Wikipedia and it says Batman: The Animated Series has 85 episodes in total whereas The New Batman Adventures has 24 episodes.

@RogerRoger yeah i saw it too, to say i'm excited is an understatement also and i tag @KALofKRYPTON in this too, that was Alex Kurtzman not Roberto Orci and i think he has what it takes to do Trek, remember while he was an executive producer on Discovery he didn't really have any say in the day to day stuff, that was Berg and Harberts but they were fired and now Kurtzman is the showrunner and he has done some good TV shows in the past, films not so much but he is good at TV

and Kurtzman IS a Star Trek fan too

@FullbringIchigo Not referencing Discovery, have a look in to Orci. He's a douche. In it for the money and no more.

@KALofKRYPTON yeah i know he is

@RogerRoger you know i don't need a full on screen reunion but i would love it if each TNG character showed up at least once

i wouldn't care if the entire series was each crew member visiting Picard at his Vineyard for a cup of tea, we are getting new Star Trek and for the first time in years it's POST Nemesis content, not a prequel or a reboot but an actual continuation of the series

@FullbringIchigo @RogerRoger
I live in hope.
Hopefully they'll look to the books for the story content. Picard has a bit of a rough time immediately post Nemesis, which all leads on to other interesting things.

@RogerRoger i would be OK with new uniforms but they if they were going to use any already established uniforms then they should use the "Countdown" Uniforms

after all this series will be set after the destruction of Romulus (Romulus was destroyed about 7 years after Nemesis although i agree it would be awesome to see that on screen)

that's assuming we even SEE any Starfleet officers after all he did say Picard wasn't necessarily still IN Starfleet in this new show

@KALofKRYPTON i would be OK with them not using the books honestly, much like with the old Star Wars EU the Trek novels were never really canon and besides what would be the point in them redoing old stories

@FullbringIchigo I just mean to inform the overall direction somewhat. I'm assuming (massively) they're going to pick post Enterprise E.

@KALofKRYPTON well 20 years after Nemesis would put it about 12-3 years after the destruction of Romulus so we already know Picard was no longer a Captain, he was an Ambassador at that point so maybe in this new series he still is

@RogerRoger also i have changed all my Social media profile pics to Picard #JeanLucPicardIsBack

@WanderingBullet That's a good question. I know sometimes they included that into BtAS other times they don't. Don't they also included The Adventures of Batman and Robin as part of the series as well?

I've been watching a ton of Star Trek recently. Would be very cool to see Picard again. For the record I did enjoy the latest series, Discovery. Not perfect but definitely enjoyable.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

@LieutenantFatman Discovery is a good show! Just really want CBS to say its either alternate time line or just tidy it all up!

@LieutenantFatman @KALofKRYPTON yeah Discovery isn't as bad as people make it out to be but it does have some issues that need to be fixed

still with a brand new show runner for season 2 maybe they will be able to fix it

@Tasuki I've always thought The Adventures of Batman and Robin was a different series but Wikipedia says that Batman: The Animated Series is also known as The Adventures of Batman and Robin. So apparently they are the same.

@RogerRoger Doesn't seem like Amazon (US) has the basic version, only the Deluxe Limited Edition.

@WanderingBullet Yeah I think the later seasons of BtAS was renamed adventures of Batman and Robin because they included Robin alot more. It may have also been a marketing ploy since Batman & Robin was the latest Batman movie at the time.

@Tasuki I see. Thanks.

@RogerRoger @KALofKRYPTON Star Trek Discovery is getting a DVD/blu-ray release in November, U.S only currently no news on a UK release, will you be buying it if we get it?

@FullbringIchigo Nope.
It's been a decent show despite the many flaws, but I've no wish to re-watch it.

Second season looks like they're planning on making it significantly more fun, which will certainly help.

Thankfully, The Orville has shown that post-BSG heavy-grim-drama Sci Fi isn't the only TV sci fi that works.
