I’m very interested to see how they build out this species.
Given it’s so far in the franchise future, there was always the possibility he was another mixed species character, but having a connection with legacy species that’s been largely undeveloped, is a better choice.
What is going on with the shrinkflation on advent calendars? Couple days back someone posted a pringles advent calendar with 12 cans. I get it, things are more expensive, but come on… advent calendars with 12 days? Wtf?
Going to miss Lower Decks till next season but looking forward to the episode. What Trek series is up next? Is there a final Discovery season releasing soon or another series between now and then?
This interview is a great read. I like what I see of Mike McMahan’s thought processes. I’m fine with “the snub” (LD s3e10) as an end to the Mariner/Jennifer arc. Lower Decks is in good hands. Long may it run. With longer seasons! (you listening Paramount?)
These drops have been so good. I’ve managed to get all the hero ships in regular size, even the Cerritos which I thought I’d missed my chance on. I missed regular DS9, but I am tempted by the XL in this drop…
Thanks for posting this! I was going to buy this on blu ray very soon after launch, but now I think I’ll give it some time. The only thing I worry about is that the incorrect version will be sold to retailers, who will just sell me that when I go to buy it next year.
If this was a different franchise I would see this as hyper commercial pandering and useless plastic junk.
But every year my good friends and I have an ornament exchange party where we are supposed to bring an ornament that embodies ourselves in some way or another. This would be perfect, as obviously me being here I love star trek, animals and Data is one of my favorites. Alas on the website I don’t see a direct way to buy this in Canada.
I wish Hallmark would have a better balance between promoting and featuring new shows and dial back having yet another 1701 TOS or TAS era model.
Given that Data’s connection to Spot was a significant plot/character point in Picard season three, I can get behind this one.
The Bagey one is however the only truly fresh collector’s item that profiles a currently running show.
However, they completely lost the window with our kids to get them interested in collecting. They would have loved a Discovery or more positive Lower Decks ornament a couple of years back. There was nothing.
Now, they’ve moved on to other fandoms that actually had stuff to collect. They each still have their favourite Eaglemoss Voyager and 1701-D ship models prominently on display in their rooms, but other franchises have crowded out interest in Star Trek.
As I have mentioned previously, Jon Van Citters and the CBS side really need to take a lesson from colleagues in the Paramount Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles team who have moved TMMT from niche collectibles back to main stream tie-ins that are worth 10 times the value of their new movie.
