After seeing this latest article where the newly merged ViacomCBS CEO stated there are currently 2 new Star Trek movies in development, combined with the major ramp-up of Star Trek shows on the CBS Streaming app, I figured it was high time for Star Trek to finally get its own ongoing thread for any fans like myself out there.

With that said, it really seems like things are looking super bright for Star Trek fans right now with the biggest brightest of which being the merger of CBS and Viacom. That merger finally effectively solidifies the decently long separated TV and movie rights of Star Trek under one roof, meaning there can be much better fluidity and continuity between the two. This is what I've been wanting for a long time and has been the biggest hindrance in my eyes to Star Trek truly thriving in the modern media landscape. Marvel and Star Wars are currently paving the way as to what the new high-budget shared universe concept can look like, and I think Star Trek can thrive itself in its own way under the same landscape.

Everyone, feel free to jump in with your thoughts on anything Star Trek related. Hopefully the Star Trek world keeps expanding and thriving, which would likely mean this thread could really thrive too. I've got lots of thoughts myself on Discovery, Picard, what I think these two new movies are..... etc, but I'll save that stuff for later posts.

Shontrelle Johnson is looking for him.

We've upgraded to a new version of the forum and know you will love it. However, with upgrades there are always bugs to work out. Something not working correctly? Please kindly let us know here. Thank you!

Does anybody know if CW is still a host of this show or just an occasional guest? I know it’s on 3-6 and I can’t tune in for the entire time but it seems like he’s never on. I like to listen to the pods on iHeart but they don’t seem to offer the entire show. Just 1 or 2 hours at random the next day. It’s apparently somewhat of a running joke why he’s not there but I’m not sure if he’s considered a regular host or not. It seems to lean pretty Hawkeye heavy whenever I can catch it. So maybe it’s just a Hawk show now?

Figured start a thread to show the latest in Athletic Facilities across the country.

Minnesota & Michigan just opened up new facilities.

Seems like it makes sense to have a thread designated to wrestling Twitter and news outside of our Cyclones. Plenty of stuff always going on.

K-State boards are picking up on a rumor that Kansas State vs. Iowa State has been selected as the season opening game in Ireland in 2025. (It would mean K-State would lose a home game.)

I think a Week 0 game would be on August 23, 2025, for the serious planners-ahead.

Anybody heard anything about this on our side? Still squarely in rumor zone here.

What are the national outlets projecting expecting out of Iowa State next season?

Six of them have the Cyclones in the top 5 of their Way Too Early Top 25's.

Hey all,

Have seen some questions about where We Will stands on a couple of different topics as it relates to our peers. Note that it is very difficult to find exact data on these because collectives aren't obligated to share info and most won't for competitive reasons, but based on what I can tell this is where things stand.

The largest collectives have an annual budget of $10M plus. We aren't anywhere near that at the moment. We are staying afloat for now, but need everyone's help to compete with our peers who are at the $4-6M level, which is where the majority of the Big 12 lives. We don't have a huge marketing budget because we want to use as many resources as possible for the Cyclones, so word of mouth is the single best way to share. We have 800 monthly contributors as of this second giving $10 or more per month. I really would love to get that number to 2,000 by the time the portal opens. We will need it. Please tell your Cyclone colleagues and friends. You may not think the beer, coffee, golf balls, merch and everything else adds up, but it really does to make Iowa State competitive. Go to www.wewillcollective.com to learn more and if you have individual questions reach out at [email protected]. Thanks all!

Per the X but it seems a tweet or something was deleted

Not going to lie - may be the first time I’ve ever seen Purdy let loose and act a little silly lol.

Love the video! Huge added bonus to see Haliburton make the first cameo!

With endless remakes over the past several years and for the foreseeable future, what have you liked, hated, etc?

When growing up in the 90s, I watched movies like Roadhouse, Tango & Cash, Under Siege, Goonies, etc a lot (even though probably a little young for them). There are certain movies that to me are off limits - Roadhouse and Tango & Cash are prime examples.

I see that Prime is coming out with a new Roadhouse remake. I'm highly disappointed they're labeling it as a remake because it looks so different from the original and Swayze cannot be replicated. It does however look like a good no-thinking necessary action movie on it's own. But a remake it is not.

A good example to me is Lion King - I think the live action version was really well done.

I needed to clear my mind of heavy stuff and basketball, so I decided to do this podcast with a buddy of mine about the current state of pro wrestling. Obviously not for everybody but those interested, I hope you enjoy.

Feel like we should have a dedicated thread for tracking entrants to the Transfer Portal and potential Iowa State targets. I saw Willie mention that Connor McGonagle from Lehigh is in the portal, but probably not a fit at Iowa State as I like our guys at 133-149

Some pretty big news for he upcoming Paris Olympics.

Tyrese is headed to the Olympics to win the Gold for the USA. Congratulations.

Second solar eclipse in 7 years that I plan on getting somewhere to see. In 2017 it was over cast during totality. That was a bit of a bummer but still pretty cool. About to pull the trigger on a room in Dayton Ohio the night before for about half what everyone else is charging. Who else is planning on going somewhere?

Eclipse will be on April 8th.

Traffic was a **** show in 2017 but worth it in my opinion as these are quite rare. The next total eclipse in the US wont be until 2044.

I've been doing my transfer portal following for this year again for a few weeks now and I noticed that I haven't seen Fran or Iowas names come up once yet as far as pursing active transfers. Just between Keegan(likely) and Bohannon leaving that's their top 2 scorers, top rebounder, and 2 of their top 3 3pt shooters. Yet no real effort to replace them. They do have 2 guards coming in but they don't seem to have much for bigs next year, which will likely be a problem. Any reason why Fran seems to despise the portal so much?

Other than the obvious reason of The Right Way of course

It was the year of fire, the year of destruction, the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth, the year of great sadness, the year of pain, and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed. The year is 2024; the place: RTT 18!!!

It appears to be a personal Year of Fire ahead in 2024. May joy predominate in yours!

J'Vonne Hadley, a Colorado transfer and cousin to Iowa State's Curtis Jones, will have zoom meetings with both Iowa State and Michigan State this week.

Draft Order is now set.

NFL Combine (Indy) On-Field Drills: Feb 29-March 3 https://www.nfl.com/network/events/nfl-combine

NFL Draft (Detroit): April 25-April 27

1st Round Order:

I saw Williams had 20 rebounds in 59 minutes as a freshman at LSU. That seems like the perfect addition to our frontcourt.

Tanke appears to be exactly what BF looks for in a shooting guard. She seems to be good enough to push for the starting spot at the 2.

Wilson, being a pure PG may get limited minutes with Ryan returning but getting a year with one of the best to play the position should pay dividends to her future.

All in all they seem to be the exact additions needed to go along with the 7 returning rotational players.
