Harrison ,

The later Space Odyssey entries were fairly optimistic. 3001 especially

Mirshe ,

Have you considered the $20 they’d need to pay the writers and actors over the next decade? Think of the poor profits.

Canada Post has already done it for all the TOS crew, and the 90s captains, the ships.

Even the Borg had their own Canadian stamp.

Troi was on a recent stamp for the UK Royal Mail.

her, william shatner and the creator were trailblazers that in a way helped to normalize things

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ And ‘Lower Decks’ Nominated For Best Series Critics Choice Awards

This has been a great year for new Star Trek stories

Jaccident ,

I can see Lower Decks maybe taking that award, unfortunately I don’t see SNW winning alone, and I strongly suspect Elizabeth Debicki will take the Best Actress Award.

I remember liking the caption that any story is improved by the addition of Dracula.

Could you imagine if that is the long con here? I’d love that.

I’m with you.

The fun thing about the Matalas post-TNG/legacy thing for me is that it nicely straddles the line between being new and nostalgic. Seven would be captain and a whole bunch of other stuff too would be new, but still connected to the TNG era past.

Oh for sure. While mods behaving badly isn’t anything new on the web, I can’t help but feel that this is a Reddit hang over culturally speaking.

Lemmy is a smaller and different space that really shouldn’t have to tolerate this from a mod. And from what I can tell, the behaviour is repeated.

Interestingly, I think it establishes a case against topic specific instances. They’re also an admin of the instance. For anything to be done about this would require acting against the place for Star Trek content on lemmy. Which is obviously a hard ask.

That one was incredible. I still feel drawn to question, despite the episode’s resolution, whether being in the fields is preferable. Wonderful take on the ignorance is bliss theme

Jacko ,

Such a well done mashup, really clever and incredible talent on display. I’m a huge Broadway fan and a massive trekkie so this was just a love letter to me and I’m beyond grateful. SNW is always a welcome surprise, every week.

Jonathan Frakes on Directing Next Generation, Lower Decks

This interview goes assorted places, but it has a small interesting bit about next year's Discovery finale.

“I directed the first half of the finale of Season 5, which turned out to be the real finale... And then [‘Discovery’ executive producer and director] Olatunde Osunsanmi had to go back up and do two or three days of new stuff to actually make the finale the finale." https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/jonathan-frakes-star-trek-director-strange-new-worlds-lower-decks-crossover-1235680140/

@billmason @porthos @startrek I don't think that CBS had all the rights to all ST properties. Today CBS, Viacom and Paramount are united again, but not before end of 2019. For example: https://gizmodo.com/star-trek-discoverys-version-of-the-enterprise-had-to-1825276401

billmason OP ,
@billmason@mastodon.social avatar

@deafmutex @porthos @startrek Yes, the right to the first 10 movies at that point belonged to Viacom, who made them under license from CBS. But that's neither here or there to what Discovery was doing.

Also, the story that the Enterprise was changed in Discovery because of rights/legal issues has been debunked. https://comicbook.com/startrek/news/star-trek-discovery-enterprise-design-legal/

Star Trek: Prodigy Is One Of The Most In-Demand TV Shows In The US, Data Shows

Cost them my Paramount sub. And I told them that if I was gonna subscribe to a service, just for Star Trek, it darn well better have all of it.

Tired8281 ,

Reminds me of the original series, cancelled right before they started tracking demographics, only to realize it was hitting all the right buttons and they’d killed the golden goose.

I’m find Paul Wesley strangely unlikable. He looks kinda weird. His movements are odd. Nothing is wrong with him, he just makes me uncomfortable. Would you please share what you like about him? I’d like to get over this weird feeling.

Rare Find: Lt. Uhura's Lost Singing Performance at Smithsonian!

Interesting discovery.

CeruleanRuin ,

Having been there, it’s so strange to see her in that space and to recognize it even though it has changed so much. When she says “this must be an early version of the Smithsonian” I almost felt like I was time traveling back there with her.
