  • Preview ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Puppet Episode With 13 New Photos From “Level-Five Transporter Accident”

  • If it manages that level I would consider it a minor miracle.

  • Exactly! And this season to date has me tilted heavily toward "faceplant".

  • I hate to be pessimistic but I'm dreading the hell out of this episode.

  • Paramount+ Head Of Originals Jane Wiseman Talks Programming Strategy

  • Right now it's hard to imagine they're going to bring Kurtzman and Secret Hideout back for anything Trek-related. It's pretty clear Kurtzman's era as Trek overseer is done.

    Paramount+ Head Of Originals Jane Wiseman Talks Programming Strategy

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 4x04 "A Case of Chiaroscuro"

  • I had that thought too at times during the episode. Doing the whole thing in black or white pulled me out of any noir mood every time we were back on the Enterprise.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 4x04 "A Case of Chiaroscuro"

  • Better episode this week, mostly because they gave Una something to sink her teeth into. Ironically, I thought the past episodes went too far into their genre, but this one didn't lean in hard enough. The black and white just got distracting, especially every time the plot moved back to the Enterprise and the story there noticeably was weaker.

  • STLV/Star Trek: Legacy (premise talk)

  • Q brings Neelix to the Alpha Quadrant and the story is off and running.

  • STLV/Star Trek: Legacy (premise talk)

  • I guess I should have said "Who besides Terry Matalas was asking for more Alexander stories?" 😂

  • STLV/Star Trek: Legacy (premise talk)

  • Not oligarchy, state disinformation and war mongering?

    My main reaction overall to the reveal was this iteration of Paramount ownership would have cancelled something that delved into these things as fast as it did the rest of the Trek slate.

    Also, it's slightly boggling that the fans who wanted this were hyped for Captain Seven (I think it's fair to say), and the premise was going to be....nah, let's do a Worf/Alexander/Klingon politics story? Who was asking for more Alexander stories?

  • STLV/Prodigy discussion

  • Counterpoint though, there is reporting that suggests Paramount+ has plans along the lines of Sheridan-type programming/audience chasing while focusing on some other broad genre types/audiences....but there's no mention that they have any particular interest in animation here.

    P+ has never struck me as a great place for animated fare anyhow.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 4x03 "Human Best Friend"

  • Man I don't know what to take from that episode. Interesting for Scott, nice to see Ortegas get more screentime besides flying the ship. And I guess that's about it.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 4x02 "The Griffin Incident"

  • Well, saw the episode. But all the going for shock and eek and ick didn't really impress, especially when the story basically has no resolution other than "beats us shrug".

  • 'Star Trek: Scouts' Second Season on YouTube to Premiere on Star Trek Day

  • That is already way more passion and/or giving a frak about Scouts than I could muster even if you paid me.

  • Well thank heavens, the anniversary year is saved. 🙄

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 4x01 "Valles Marineris"

  • Well I just watched it, but I don't know what to do with it. It just kinda...happened. Other than a few moments here and there, I didn't really get much out of it. Eh.

    And I really don't need Pelia dropping more Doctor Who references. One time was amusing and enough.

  • ‘Star Trek’ 60th Anniversary Comic to Feature Stories From Brian Michael Bendis, ‘Lower Decks’ Creator Mike McMahan

  • Just saw an interesting bit on his Bluesky, Mike McMahan's story in this issue is the idea he had for how a season 6 of Lower Decks would have kicked off.

  • 2 New (Webtoon) Star Trek Series Announced

  • Naturally I'm watching debates about the canonicity claim break out in assorted places.

    As far as I can find, the whole “it’s canon” claim comes from Webtoons in their press release, and no one from Paramount is being quoted making that claim. Unless there’s a separate Paramount press release I can’t find.

    So this whole claim is just silly.
