Not everyone in 1965 had a nice new big television, let alone a colour one.

Here’s a top of the line RCA model from 1954…

It’s not going to be a 24th or 25th century show… but as others have said, perhaps Boothby was a near immortal like Pelia or Guinan.

Take my upvote. It’s an appalling thought.

It was decided by suits that it was too gory (not broadcast in UK? initially) so they reworked the idea into the Borg.

But this idea did get revisited and played out in the Relaunch novelverse. Huzzah for Treklit.

Paramount & Nickelodeon dropped Star Trek Prodigy recently, but it’s coming to Netflix very soon. The 20 episode first season will be out on Netflix before end of year, and a new season in 2024.

And many older fans are loving it too. I’d describe it as ‘family viewing’ rather than a show for kids. It starts out (intentionally) feeling like that other big franchise to some extent but by episode 6, it’s the Trekkiest thing ever!

Appreciate your integrity.

It just sounded like something you might actually say this week…

Stamets - you may have a future as ‘an independent artist/designer’ on TeePublic.com.

I’d buy it.

Why does the OP think that She-Hulk ‘got bad ratings’ when it was one of the two most viewed Marvel shows on Disney last year?

That’s right, more people spent more minutes watching She-Hulk than anything other than Loki, including content from other Disney franchises.

Social media outrage & negative review brigading on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes from a demographic that is mainly male, a certain age & American doesn’t actually represent the majority of those of us paying for Disney+.

Women subsidize content designed for that market all the time,,why the outrage when the rest of the market gets something to their tastes?

It doesn’t seem like you’ve read any She-Hulk comics.

The show is the most comic-accurate Marvel TV series ever. It leans heavily on both Slott and original Byrne runs - written by men but definitely heavily leaning into the sexism experienced by the character, not to mention breaking the fourth wall before Deadpool.

You may have your views, but please let them be informed.

It seems such generic American soft rock. Journey or bands like.

No matter that the singer is British and the song was originally written and recorded by Rod Stewart.

Even having lived in the US as a student, I never could understand the appeal of that stuff.

Both are established and solid Treklit authors.

I find it interesting that Simon & Schuster is back to contracting new tie-in novels within the existing timeline of classic Trek shows.

Answering myself - as I ordered this and now have my own copy.

Titanbooks is being as non-transparent as possible.

— the copy on the back cover says “Includes original fiction by …”

— the publication details on the back of the title page do not mention any of the stories having been previously published in the magazine.

However, the typesetting and layout is exactly that as in the magazine.

One would have to know a particular story from a particular magazine issue to confirm whether it was previously published.

So it seems.

We mostly see 3D chess in the franchise, but 3D checkers exists too.

Not a Kevin hater, just feeling Moopsy deprivation.

Why not have both?

More Moopsy in Lower Decks & Kevin Riley recast and recurring in SNW. He’d be an ensign about then.

No wonder they replaced him with Chekov. That was way to much baggage for a regular in that era.

But he’d be fine on SNW. A recast Kevin Riley could be mentored by La’an.

Anson Mount would love this - he’s a fan of Detective Pikáchu.

Regarding the character or the late actor?

Ok, I’m fancasting Fionn O’Shea as Kevin Riley - just because.

I took this as commentary not advertising.

I thought Mobius’ enthusiasm for the hot apple pies was consistent with his adoring better-living-through-chemistry lime pie or machine made hot chocolate in the TVA.

He’s been stuck in the limited palate options of the TVA, his memory of a richer, real-life stripped from him. Of course 80s McDonald’s is a taste sensation.

The thing is that despite all that, the volume these sets and their extrapolations imply is still leaves vast amounts of empty space in the ships of Star Trek.
