Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?
Before all the BS with CBS News happened, I really thought that Skydance was the best of the potential buyers that were floating around at the time.
He’s got a steep hill to climb, but this might be a positive sign.
I’ll take droid rights seriously as soon as Star Wars does. 😂
If the Dominion has had any sort of reformation at all over the last several hundred years, I would think that freeing the Jem’Hadar would have been near the top of the “to do” list.
It hardly seems fair to compare them to robots.
He’s with the Prophets now
you extremist
It’s lashes all the way down.
It’s the internet. There’s going to be “backlash” regardless.
Though to be honest, people seem pretty high on SFA, both here an in other online spaces I visit.
I think there’s a lot of potential in the concept, and the trailer looked great.
Either way, I’d much rather talk about the show than the people talking about the show.
Much has (justifiably) been said about the merger, and the path to how we got here, but everyone seems to agree that David Ellison is in the business because he loves movies - the whole company was practically a vanity project, rather than a moneymaking scheme.
Yeah, I think the new Paramount TV Studios is basically the Skydance studio, renamed - the Old Paramount shut down their version of Paramount Television Studios about a year ago.
This is barely Star Trek-related news, but we now have confirmation that the franchise will remain under CBS Studios (which is pretty much the only division that hasn’t had a change in management under the new regime).
With that bit of business out of the way, the next step will be for them to make a decision on the renewal of the Secret Hideout deal, which is set to expire next year.
Memory Alpha has a breakdown that must be pretty comprehensive.
I’ve used it a bit. It’s fine, though these things that act through browser extensions are understandably met with skepticism. The e-transfers seem pretty useful to those who use the service.
I like Stashwick well enough, but I didn’t think Shaw was handled well at all. He abandoned his post for a significant chunk of the season, sacrifices himself, and then in the end we find out he secretly respected Seven all alone, and just didn’t tell her, because he’s kind of an asshole?
And while his origin story is interesting, it’s also a warmed-over Ben Sisko plot point.
If they were to ever proceed with some sort of *Enterprise-*G series, I’d rather they do it without Matalas. I’ve had enough of his vision for the franchise.
I was told to go talk to Garrett Wang. I went to his both and introduced my costume. He loved it. He asked for a photo and a video of me explaining it.
Amazing!
“I learned so much. I learned so many canon things that even I had no clue about, from one of our wonderful writers, Kirsten Beyer, who’s just the godmother of Trek. She’s the Trek Wiki. Her brain is Star Trek. And I got to co-write my episode with her. That was such a dream, because I could just text her in the middle of the night and ask her just deep cut, nerdy questions that I won’t allude to right now, because it’ll spoil things. Just just imagine having a little Trek Wiki that you can text who’s a human being, who’s your friend. And that’s what it was like working with her. So it’s great.”
Upon further consideration…
“Federation political drama” is a popular dream show for a lot of people. I’ve never been one of those people - the Federation is built on decades of contradictory nonsense, and anything they came up with would be under immense pressure to be a perfect political system - something that’s never been designed IRL, and probably never will.
But…setting it in the very early days of the UFP, as the characters themselves are trying to figure it out? There might actually be something there…
I’m under no illusions that this will actually happen - it’s just nice to know he’s interested.
No room for “Star Trek Year One”?
It seems like something along those lines. I wonder if it’s something they plan to circle back to, or if they’re going to leave those toys on the shelf for someone to play with in the future.
I thought this one was a tonal mess - so much so that I was convinced the whole thing was going to turn out to be a training simulation or something.
This show is usually so good at setting a clear mood, but this one was so all over the place, I didn’t know how seriously to take the situations the crew(s) found themselves in.
