Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

It’s beginning to feel like Charlie Brown and the football at this point, but let’s see if they can actually get this one off the ground.

I would take that with a grain of salt - it’s a general-purpose Hollywood outlet reporting what their sources told them, so there could be room for inaccuracies.

They could also follow Simon Pegg’s contention that the Kelvin and Prime timelines could be different at any point in history (which I support).

I heard only last night about a script that is being written, but written specifically with the actor, Patrick [Stewart], to play in it. And I’ve been told to expect to receive it within a week or so.

Notably, that week was several weeks ago:

TrekMovie has confirmed with Josh Horowitz that this interview was recorded in early November as Stewart was out promoting his new memoir, Making It So.

At what point would you move from the old stuff to the new stuff to keep someone from being too confused?

I don’t think confusion is a big concern - if she has some basic familiarity with the franchise, it shouldn’t take much more than explaining when the series is set. Beyond that, each show should stand on its own.

The only possible exception to this is “Picard,” which is the most reliant on a previous series, but even then, the show should give the viewer enough information to watch it on its own terms.

Paramount+ cancelled it, but CBS Studios sold it to Netflix and it remains in production. Season 2 will debut there in 2024.

We’re doing our best to sort out the international availability in a stickied post, if you haven’t seen it!

It was nice to see the author of the piece dive in to the fact that the various Paramount subsidiaries don’t always share the same goals or agree with the decisions of the others.

That’s entirely up to you.

I can confirm it’s now showing up on CTV.ca.

I’m not sure - I’ve been alerted that Canal+ and Netflix both have it in France - can you confirm?

It’s coming to Steam sometime in the new year.

Until there’s something official in place, this is more of a c/Quarks topic (and has been under active discussion there since the news broke yesterday).

New book: "Star Trek: Essays Exploring the Final Frontier" ( vernonpress.com )

The critical anthology ‘Star Trek: Essays Exploring the Final Frontier,’ edited by Amy H. Sturgis and Emily Strand, will surprise and inform readers from beginning to end. In the foreword, science fiction scholar and novelist Una McCormack asks, “Why ‘Star Trek’?” These essays answer that question over and over again...

Of all the streamers, Netflix seems to have the best grasp on how to produce shows for younger audiences. I hope Prodigy thrives there.

Don’t blame CBS Studios - they’re still making the show, and never stopped after Paramount+ (the “network” in this case, even though they have the same parent company).

I’ll go first: I played the hell out of 1993’s Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy.

Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy

In retrospect, it was a pretty simple game, but it felt pretty robust to this eleven-year-old. You took the role of commander of the Enterprise (specifically not Picard, as he gave you the missions), and made use of the TNG crew to complete various assignments, from cargo runs to squaring up against getting annihilated by Romulan warbirds.

And who wouldn’t fall in love with graphics like these?

Oh yeah, I certainly know that one by reputation!

I just remembered I owned this thing, too.

I was, uh, extremely bad at the ship combat. Couldn’t take down much more than the Ferengi and Talarian ships.

I must sadly recuse myself from the giveaway (curse my sense of ethics!), but I can confirm that OP is indeed the Community Manager for Star Trek Resurgence at Dramatic Labs.

Good luck to everyone!

Stories like these drive me nuts - “hypothetical thing could have a hypothetical effect”.

Wake me when such a buyout actually happens, y’know?

ValueSubtracted OP Mod ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

It was picked up by Netflix in October (Canada excepted).

ValueSubtracted OP Mod ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Yeah, they never actually stopped production, even after they were dropped by P+.

S1 drops on Netflix on Christmas Day.

On the end of Discovery

I have mixed feelings about Disco ending. I really dug the first season’s look at a Federation at war, and following the person who arguably set that war in motion dealing with her culpability. Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....

I mean, it sounds like the thing they’re hunting for is pretty dangerous (whatever it is), but it does sound like they’re going for a tonal shift.
