Now that you say that, I do remember some speculation to that effect!

I'm not aware of Cornwell being based on a TOS character...

Dr. Noor is also on Mastodon at https://c.im/@mafnoor !

Well if the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says it, it must be true.

Absolutely incredible response.

I like it. It's certainly different when compared to the older stuff - especially at first, it's a lot more action-oriented, and trying perhaps a bit too hard to push the boundaries of what they could do when free from the limitations of broadcast TV.

I'm not an artist by any means, but I'm curious as to how it takes to create something like this.

@paulshipper@illo.social

I think it would have made perfect sense for the CW of a decade ago (which, incidentally, CBS owned 50% of).

The new owners have pretty much dismantled all that, though.

With so many projects in development at once, they might be trying to do both.

I've cross-posted this to c/startrek because @paulshipper@illo.social's edit didn't seem to take - very cool!

Paramount is also developing a separate “Star Trek” project, with writer Seth Grahame-Smith (“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”) and director by [sic] Toby Haynes (“Black Mirror: USS Callister”), that would feature a new cast in a story meant as a kind of origin story for the franchise. A project with screenwriter Kalinda Vazquez (“Fear the Walking Dead”) first announced in 2021 also remains in development.

I didn't realize the Kalinda Vazquez project was still alive.

Yeah, it's a Paramount Plus original, though I don't think they've ever hinted as to when it will be released.

In fact, this article contains the most details I've seen since the casting announcement in January.

I’m on the set of the “Star Trek” TV movie “Section 31,” seated in an opulent nightclub with a view of a brilliant, swirling nebula, watching Yeoh rehearse with director Olatunde Osunsanmi and her castmates. Originally, the project was announced as a TV series centered on Philippa Georgiou, the semi-reformed tyrant Yeoh originated on “Discovery.” But between COVID delays and the phenomenon of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” there wasn’t room in the veteran actress’s schedule to fit a season of television. Yeoh was undaunted.

“We’d never let go of her,” she says of her character. “I was just blown away by all the different things I could do with her. Honestly, it was like, ‘Let’s just get it done, because I believe in this.’”

A few minutes later, dozens of extras in all manner of outlandish eveningwear file into the club, several of them made up as classic “Star Trek” aliens that fans might be surprised to see in this kind of swanky establishment. But I’m far more distracted by a different discovery: Georgiou is standing with a young Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl), a character first introduced on “Next Generation” as the older fearless captain of the USS Enterprise-C.

Looks like this is our first glimpse of the Section 31 film.

Ten minutes looks about right - I'm glad those kbin issues have been sorted!

That's a common issue with serialized fiction, though I think Discovery's episodes have been pretty distinct since at least season three.

Episode 4: “Face the Strange”

“Mind bending and exciting, and a heck of a lot of fun.”

Episode 6: “Whistlespeak”

“Oh, classic TOS-style adventure!”

Go on...

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.

Thankfully, I've never felt tempted to buy anything from Mudd.
