You weren't expecting Paramount to spend money, were you?

How dare they try to inspire altruism?!

Star Trek is all about me watching a TV show and doing nothing else!

 

[Tuskin38]

I wouldn't be surprised if we still got trailers or something on the day, but yeah no special event like the last couple years.

To be fair Star Trek Day does fall on the opening Sunday of the NFL season in the US so the battle for eyeballs will be real.

I do think it’s funny they are going with The Cage over WNMHGB for the “free pilots” thing.

I'm not. Captain Pike is the lead character on SNW; so what better way to promote SNW?

Plus TOS The Cage is the original Pilot episode of TOS.

You'd think they'd also include The Man Trap because, well, you know...

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

Was hoping something more than those episodes. Most of us would already have those episodes in out collections, depending on what format we choose to watch trek.

At least they included Prodigy in that teaser. They ignored it last year.

It was underperforming.

Last year it was still costing Paramount money to finish.

Now that they've sold it to Netflix, IF Netflix renews it for a 3rd season, it does nothing but MAKE Paramount money as Netflix still has to license it, and Netflix then pays for the production of Season 3.

but you are already getting Pike in the SNW pilot. WNMHGB introduces Kirk, Scotty and Sulu. Plus it wasn’t the “failed” pilot.

Honestly I don’t care since I won’t be watching, I just think it’s a funny choice.

Considering we now have a Christopher Pike Star Trek series, I wouldn't call TOS The Cage a failed pilot per se. It may have taken 55 or so years, but yeah it seems a studio saw what was made and decided to make a show with the main characters of that pilot episode.

I’m just surprised the Shatner erasure/truthers haven’t latched onto it. lol.

Yearly reminder that TOS aired a day earlier on the 7th in Canada.

I’ll be celebrating tomorrow

 

[antinoos]

I thought it was the 6th?

It was the 7th but for some reason the old Space channel decided to celebrate Star Trek Day on the 6 several years back for reasons that only made sense to them.

 

[somebuddyX]

Happy Birthday Star Trek!

It was the 6th. I was wrong.

Google has a scan of a Montreal Gazette newspaper from the 6th showing TV air times.

Canadian sci-fi author Robert J Sawyer has always insisted it was the 7th. Even claims to remember watching it for the first time on the 7th.
