Unfortunately, I think the need for defense spending is increasingly clear these days, no?

I was thinking something kind of similar - if they had left Mariner out of it entirely, we could have had a Tendi/T'lyn "Janeway and Chakotay build a bathtub" plot.

It makes me wonder about how much background information Mount was given along with the sides he was reading - honestly, probably very little, or nothing at all.

He certainly seems to be playing the role in a stern-but-friendly way, which is likely not what they were looking for in the case of Lorca.

That particular website tends to trade in ragebait, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Yeah, it's nice to hear they can still get things done, if they're (a) motivated and (b) not being whipped by their leadership.

Much more affordable at animation rates!

I enjoyed this one more than last week's - I think I'm calibrated to prefer the more heartfelt episodes over the sillier ones. And this one added "the purple D" to the lexicon, so that's...a real legacy, is what it is.

The Mariner subplot was pretty thin, and probably could have been cut entirely.

That's a team effort.

Usually the invisible piranhas that live in the shadows.

The moon is a self-replicating space dragon egg.

"This year, the Doctor will tell you the answer to that question you’ve been asking since you were a small child," Moffat proclaims. "The solution to the longest-standing mystery in not merely the Doctor Who universe, but the universe as a whole. Watch on Christmas Day!"

This is guaranteed to be something very silly.

You can't spell "embargo" without "go"!

I doubt he would, yet I also think he's willing to pull just about anything...

A regeneration is cool, but I hope they go fairly minimalist with it. I like the more...explosive regenerations of the modern era well enough, but I don't think they need to be retconned into past ones.

pre-war society

Well, we'll see about that...

Tawny did a guest spot on the Greatest Trek podcast recently, and shed a little more light on how this thing came into being.

Apparently, it was Paramount that was pushing to get a Trek sitcom off the ground, and Alex Kurtzman wasn't sure it could work. But he mentioned it to Tawny, and she rode for the idea.

Yeah, "Ronald B. Moore" was just seen on the holodeck Okudagram in the original episode. It may not have been legible in the pre-remaster version of the show.

They did heavy edits of some classic stories prior the the last season hence released, yeah? Did you check any of those out? I did not.

I'm not a fan of things like colourisation, but at the same time this is kind of cool?
