If the actors’ contracts are for 7 calendar years but production is stretched out as is has been due to the pandemic and the strike, it’s hard to see how more than 5 seasons are possible without severe escalation in labour costs for US talent.
They seemed like good quality and great designs, but I could never swing $30-50 for a glorified Micromachine to put on my shelf. I'm jelly of people who have them, though!
They are generally really good quality, especially the XL ships. Just judging by the ones I have though, I'm not sure about the others. I can definitely understand them not being worth the money to everyone though. I did get a few of the smaller ships, but I wasn't as impressed with them. They generally feel and look cheaper, there's just not as much detail.
Don’t think I have ever had such mixed feelings about an upcoming episode.
I feel like it will either be gloriously entertaining on par with Those Old Scientists or a complete cringefest, and that the fanbase is going to be equally divided.
The cast includes a Grammy winner from a successful Broadway musical, another Broadway performer, and another who toured with a Gilbert & Sullivan company.
The songs were written by alternative music musicians who have successful songs in a motion picture soundtrack and have done the same for other shows.
The preconditions for them pulling this off exceptionally well are there.
For those who happily purchase Spiner’s ‘Old Yellow Eyes’ but believe that no other forms, musical or animation, are sufficiently respectful of the dignity of the franchise, we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
People forget. Star trek has already done a musical episode. Mr. Data sang the breakout pop hit “Life forms” on the bridge of the enterprise. It was glorious. It was amazing. It is literally the only thing you should watch, ever again. Just that. On loop.
As for pricing? A representative from Factory Entertainment revealed through social media that the cost of each approximately-three-foot-long model is expected to start at a $15,000 USD price point — the models will be produced mainly of resin, but will also feature other mixed material in their construction.
I really enjoyed reading this one, McMahan seems like he truly cares about the franchise. The part about basically making Orion from scratch was especially interesting to me. Also:
Q: Speaking of Prodigy — that show’s story is just a few years ahead of Lower Decks in the Star Trek timeline; Picard was twenty-something years down the line. Do you know how the Lower Decks characters have progressed during those time periods?
MCMAHAN: …I do know. [Laughs] I’m being very careful!
what are you hiding from us
what if they find Peanut Hamper in the Delta Quadrant
Discovery actor Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber) also weighed in, revealing that he was not able to return to set for the additional finale filming.
“[This SXSW event] has been really cathartic for me because I didn’t get to [participate in the additional filming] — I had already taken a job. So when they went back to film the the end of the series, I couldn’t join the group. I was in Thailand.
Sonequa [Martin-Green] was kind enough to call me from the party afterwards, and she ruined my makeup… and I had to go back and get it redone. [Laughs]. So this has been my opportunity to see each other again.”
Thinking about it, I guess I’ve been operating under the assumption that the additional footage was for some sort of montage, so maybe they were able to use existing footage.
I love this season. This show has done for me what Discovery didn’t. Made Trek fun or thought provoking when it needs to be while entertaining existing fans and new viewers.
The cards come with the game! So it's more like Dominion and not a CCG. I was worried for a second. I wonder how it'll play compared to Dominion. I absolutely will buy this
STOCKHOLM – September 7, 2023 – Paradox Interactive and Nimble Giant Entertainment today announced that their upcoming grand strategy game Star Trek: Infinite, under license from Paramount Consumer Products, will launch on Mac and PC on October 12, 2023. Players can now pre-order either the base game or Digital Deluxe Edition, granting them access to bonuses like skins, ships, and special voiceover. Star Trek: Infinite takes players on an interstellar saga with its emergent gameplay and complex choices, as they face the powers of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.
Players who pre-order Star Trek: Infinite will receive the following bonuses: – Star Trek: Lower Decks uniform options – The U.S.S. Cerritos, a science ship with special options for minor nations (Second Contact) – A Klingon advisor voice line, “Qapla”
The Digital Deluxe Edition (DDE) of the game includes a digital artbook, the game soundtrack, and an in-game music pack featuring iconic compositions from across Star Trek’s illustrious legacy.
Beginning decades before the Star Trek: The Next Generation era, Star Trek: Infinite grants players the power to shape the galaxy’s destiny as a faction of their choice. The immersive grand strategy game puts players in the captain’s chair to lead one of four unique Quadrant Powers: The United Federation of Planets, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union, or Klingon Empire. While remaining faithful to Star Trek lore, Star Trek: Infinite introduces fresh avenues for adventure as players can explore the Alpha and Beta quadrants, govern empire dynamics, handle economic intricacies, and engage with undiscovered civilizations.
You can tell it’s the 2020s because they talk about the preorder DLC before telling you what the game is about.
That being said, it sounds interesting, I love 4x and economic submission games, and Trek of course.
