    Can't quite put my finger on it but it feels like a great concept, as one would expect from Gene Roddenberry, that they couldn't quite get 100% right without him being involved.

    I enjoyed it nonetheless.
    Well the rumour has always been that it started as a Star Trek concept....the Federation is betrayed for some logical reason by the Vulcans (Nietzcheans) and in the climactic battle a Federation starship becomes trapped in the time dilation of a black hole. When said Federation ship emerges, the Federation is a distant memory, the Vulcans are a galactic power, and the Klingons (Magog) are a galactic terror as ruthless savages. Lone survivng ship sets about rebuilding the Federation.

    It's kind of a neat idea, but 'twas not to be. I'm still interested in seeing how it plays out though.

      Hm not sure I buy that personally but an interesting theory.

      I found the Nietzcheans quite interesting, they would have been an admirable race had they any sense of loyalty.

                Sounds like Earth Final Conflict....the other posthumous Gene Roddenberry series

                    Its not Gene Roddenberry's fault. Him came up with the idea. He is not the one who actually wrote the story

                      Kind of sad though that so many of the posthumous Gene Roddenberry series or Roddenberry-inspired series have kind of reflected poorly on his legacy.

                      At least there's DS9, though

                        It memory serves Roddenberry wasn't really involved with DS9

                          That's what I meant by Roddenberry-inspired.

                            I know, it's a pity he wasn't around any longer to keep an eye on things.

                              I think we would have missed the best of DS9 with Gene at the helm, I doubt it would have been as war-torn - which was the best part in my opinion.

                                Well, at least he gave us TOS and TNG. Those are monumental contributions on their own

                                Coming back on topic, the season 3 box art has been released!
