Not impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.

And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.

Doesn’t mean we should shrug it off as acceptable.

A lot of good first steps, but this shouldn’t be owned by a private company.

This is specific to the videogame-ish sub-genre, mostly Isakeis…

But you go out of the way to include RPG mechanics into your story… but the only real influence it has on the storytelling is spending an inordinate amount of time grinding… a mechanic explicitly added to RPGs to pad the game.

There are good video game based stories, Survival Story of a Sword King and Dungeon Reset both immediately come to mind… but I feel like this is a widespread problem.

They’re all beautiful shots, but something about them doesn’t leave me curious about their contexts. I wish I could articulate it better….

Like maybe it’s not enough of a tease?

Or maybe that you could’ve told me most of those shots were from S4 and I wouldn’t question it?

Or the lack of a contextual caption maybe?

Lethe. That’s who I was thinking of. Like Cornwell was Lethe before she became Lethe.

Wasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?

I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.

Maybe maybe not? At the very least least it tells us where Carl dropped Georgiou off.

I would recommend two pins.

One being the season one you’re proposing… and a second for a focal episode to discuss and cycle it out every two days.

So for the first two days we’d focus on the first episode (episodes? It’s a two parter) then the pin would be swapped with the next episode.

This would allow more in depth discussion while acknowledging binge watching.

But then profits would hinge upon such concepts. It might actually be brilliant long term.

McMahan has previously tried to garner support for a LD movie, live action at that, but there’s nothing to suggest that it’s been greenlit. If anything, we may have gotten LD S5 instead.

“There’s every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future”

I’m reading this to mean that the S31 movie is coming out sometime this summer. Between Discovery and Lower Decks. After October or so doesn’t sound ‘very neat future’ to me.

I’m also not reading much into the ‘trying to figure out’ how to get the movies to the big screen. We know that S31 will be a P+ exclusive. Regardless of if it’s because of some preexisting contract with what was CBS All Access when the original project got green lit all those years ago or because S31’s lore leans too heavily on S1-3 Discovery to stand on its own, S31 was never going to be in major theaters.

The purported Picard, Kelvin 4, or even the pitched Lower Decks movies? Those are probably going to actually be in theaters.

Programming to feature Star Trek: Discovery’s fifth season premiere and Star Trek: Strange New World’s musical episode sing-along!

Wondercon is March 29th through the 31st.

TBH, it feels a little barebones…. But with Picard finished, Academy in very early development, Prodigy out of Paramount’s hands, and Lower Decks expected for late 2024… there really isn’t much else they can bring to the plate, aside from maybe the S31 movie.

I enjoyed this interview. We learn that there’s some things even he doesn’t know, and also questioned, some behind the scenes head cannoning, and enough bait to keep us questioning what’ll happen, but not enough to spoil anything of substance.

Now this. THIS is an interview. A lot of fun ideas, stealing props, and just good natured nonsense.

Through a valued partnership between Propstore Ltd. and CBS Studios Inc., an amicable agreement among all parties involved has been reached to restore Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation captain’s chair to the Star Trek Archive,” a statement on Propstore’s website now reads. “The chair will be preserved as a piece of science fiction history. While the whereabouts of the chair had been unknown for three decades, the Star Trek Archive is currently working on plans to showcase it for Star Trek fans to see firsthand in the coming year.

I had the Starfleet Academy game… waaaaay ahead of its time… as in the hardware really couldn’t handle 3D combat.

I wish the actors were cleared to reveal little things… otherwise these interviews are just barely interactive NDAs.

Huh… I wonder if the Borg Corgi is a homage to the “Ensign Sue Must Die” saga, which featured a Borg Beagle.
