I think those have all been added, IIRC.

Not sure about the Enterprise-G.

I think the episode implies ethical issues, but stops well short of spelling them out. The fact that Kingsley concealed the childrens' true natures for as long as she did suggests that their research was not on the up-and-up.

My best guess is that the station's research, on paper, fell within Federation regulations, but their actual work did not. But that's stretching pretty far, given that no one explicitly raises the issue.

This is the first I've ever heard of a login required at star trek dot com.

It's mainly a charity thingie - TrekCore has a summary.

Maybe more importantly, it doesn't look like they're doing any panels on Star Trek Day this year.

I'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through

I think the season really gets cooking with "Boom," and there's a string of pretty solid episodes in there.

All in all, a pretty average season (and I don't mean that in a bad way - it was just pretty typical highs and lows).

Interesting take. Do you have an example?

All right, I'm convinced. Henceforth, every Friday is Bell Riots Day, forever.

I struggle to put my feelings on speculation into words. Obviously, it has its place, and there would be something very wrong with the show if we didn't feel the urge to speculate about where the story is headed.

I think it's runaway speculation that spawns ridiculous conspiracy theories that really irks me, if that makes sense.

It all makes sense when you (don’t) think (too hard) about it!

You need to trademark this and license it to the BBC ASAP.

I like the cut of this guy's jib.

IIRC he acknowledged it was well-made for what it was.

Honestly, I think he just realized he had no choice.

The conflict between Roddenberry and Meyer is pretty well-known, but I agree it would be...interesting to see the original documents.

And with them, a brand new holographic representation of a Starfleet Bridge Officer who famously busted a ghost of her own!

Maybe he can play both...

Apparently it was an Ira Behr thing:

Ira Steven Behr has a fascination with the Battle of the Alamo and he and Hans Beimler included a reference in "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night". Later, Ronald D. Moore and Rene Echevarria began to include references in their scripts. Some fans thought that the writers were hinting the series would end with a battle like the Alamo, which the writers had no intention of doing, having already featured such scenes in "The Way of the Warrior". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)

Briggs could do it, no question.

I can't help but respect how utterly full of shit that man is.

Follow-up question: do we want to start one, in this space?

It will definitely be good to have Shirley back - her absence last season was very conspicuous.

Paramount Parks shut down way back in 2006, so if they don't want to try to re-enter that space (which I think would be financially...unwise), partnering with existing parks is probably the best move.

No idea - these things are often cast under code names, at least when it comes to TV and film, so it could be really hard to determine.
