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

It looks like the Netflix release is likely to be a full season drop, so…how would we like to discuss it?

My gut says to set up individual episode threads and pin a season index to the top of the community, but I’m open to suggestions.

The question mentioned “Legacy,” but the answer didn’t even reference that project indirectly.

I really don’t understand this notion that a story is ruined because you’re also familiar with stories that take place after it.

I know how WWII turned out, but there are stories set in that period that are worth watching.

I guess so. I’ve just never watched Star Trek VI and felt like it had been affected by the fact that TNG was in its sixth season by that point.

I don’t think many actors do all of their own stunts. If they get injured, the production is screwed.

Finding a stuntperson with the build of Doug Jones must be a unique challenge…

“I am not able to say much, but I can say that it is Paramount’s intent to figure out the Star Trek side of movies and what’s going on there. There’s every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future. There’s a lot of secrecy around what’s going to happen there. But there is a plan getting into place. And we’re very excited to see it return to the big screen.”

Honestly, this seems more like a “plan to make a plan” to me.

In context, Roth states, “we’re very excited to see it return to the big screen.” That would seem to rule out that he’s referring to the S31 movie.

I also think a summer release is highly unlikely for that, considering production only began at the end of January.

This is news to me:

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.

Or maybe I’m completely wrong, who knows?

How much has the way you use the AR Wall changed the way you make Star Trek?

It’s changed a lot. It changes like every six months. And we’re even having conversations now about how to integrate it in Starfleet Academy slightly differently than what we’ve done on Strange New Worlds, Discovery, and Section 31. So it’s a huge tool. But like any digital tool, it needs to be used very thoughtfully. I think that what I like more than anything is to create a world that feels grounded. And sometimes it can sort of make you feel like you’re inside a video game. So we’re really trying hard to make sure that’s not the feeling.

It’s a small thing, but I guess this confirms that SFA will film in Toronto, not LA.

It’s worth noting that CBS opened their own Toronto studio after Discovery debuted, so I’m not sure whether they’ll keep using Pinewood. I’m pretty sure SNW films at the new facility.

The Gizmodo Media Group has fallen on extremely hard times, to say the least.

TrekMovie: Early Review: ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Flies Into A New Adventure In Season 5

I think season three is the best season of Discovery, and should be in any conversation about the best overall Star Trek seasons.

TrekCore: Our Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Spoiler-Free Review

ValueSubtracted ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

I think it’s pretty great, yeah.

The story feels very much like an extended episode of Star Trek.

ValueSubtracted ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Nothing overly complex. The game is more about morality than puzzle solving.

ValueSubtracted ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

The variety is pretty decent, within the confines of the genre.

You get some combat, tricorder scan jobs, diplomacy, a little bit of shuttle piloting. The story that’s being told is very specific.

ValueSubtracted OP ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

I assume you don’t care about spoilers, but just in case…

Discovery season three spoilersThere have indeed been some significant setbacks over the centuries. First there were the temporal wars, the full ramifications of which have not been fully explored, but were likely pretty devastating. These were followed by the one-two punch of a dilithium supply crisis, followed by “The Burn,” which caused most of the existing dilithium supplies to go inert and/or explode. This had the effect of making interstellar travel extremely challenging, and many planets became isolationist in the name of protecting themselves. These issues have all been resolved, but they had a large impact on the development of…everyone, really.

ValueSubtracted OP ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

“Legacy” is an imaginary show. It’s never been put into development, and there’s no indication that will change.

ValueSubtracted OP ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

I’m not the one to ask.

ValueSubtracted OP ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

None of that is true.

@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Literally no one but Terry Matalas has “teased” anything, and he’s been very open about the fact that there’s no movement whatsoever on it becoming a reality.

I’m an absolute riot at wakes.
