From what I recall, the reason they called it “Star Trek 2.0” is that when the episodes aired, they had trivia and other information about the episode along the side and bottom of the screen. It was a cool experiment before G4 just decided to become the Cheaters Channel.

I never watched Prodigy, but seeing Paramount fall into the same pattern as HBO Max by summarily removing content will guarantee that I cancel my current subscription and take to the high seas.

With physical media dying off or at least not prioritized, this compounds the situation because for a lot of these shows there’s no hard copy of the media that you can fall back on or keep as a personal archive; it’s all up to the whims of whoever’s in charge at the moment.

It makes the alternative far more practical.

I’ve heard her and the other actresses talk about that first season at conventions and it’s hard to shake the feeling of how dire that show was for all of them during that season. McFadden fired, Crosby quits, and Sirtis thought she was being let go (the writers had stopped speaking to her/producers had stopped taking meetings with her) up until Crosby quit. She believes the only reason she was still on the show is because Crosby quit before they could fire her.

The show lost 2 out of 3 lead actresses going into the second season. Not a great look.

The only Gorn cannon I recognize is the rudimentary implement constructed by Captain Kirk in Arena.

But in all seriousness, I understand being precious about canon and having everything fit together, but making tweaks and changes here and there in the service of storytelling isn’t the end of the world. Especially with a franchise spanning 50+ years and several different television series.

Oh, that’s a really good format for that live chat, thanks!

M’Benga turned out to be my favorite character from last season, and I’m glad they’ve been able to stretch his character out beyond having it centered around his daughter this season. He should have an interesting character arc from what they showed in this episode.

What’s funny is I only found out about this place from the r/squaredcircle discord (the subreddit is still down at the moment, but word from the mods over there is that spez’s ghouls are threatening to do whatever it takes to re-open subreddits), so people are spreading the word out there in all sorts of places

There’s a daily live chat over at Mastodon that I follow, where people react to Trek episodes airing on H&I (an antenna channel in the US) using the #AllStarTrek tag that’s pretty interesting as well. You can try to play “guess the episode” based on what people are saying.

I’ve been visiting Reddit since 2006 and had an account there for nearly 17 years. I remember it before subreddits were a thing. It was for tech nerds and other associated weirdos before entering a genuinely charming period for a few years, but those days are long in the past. I’d rather try out something new with a smaller group of interesting people who are also into trying new things, and I hope this site is able to keep chugging along regardless of whatever is happening at Reddit.
