- Comment on New Star Trek Movie Director Is A Fan And Directed The ‘Black Mirror’ Trek Episode “USS Callister” 5 months ago:
That's alright. When I first saw the episode USS Calilister I thought he was Matt Damon.
Plemons is actually married to Kirsten Dunst. He's got quite a lot of acting credits under his belt. Friday Night Lights, Varsity Blues, and most recently Killers of the Flower Moon with Leonardo DiCaprio.

That's Jesse Plemons. I don't see Video Game Highschool on his list of acting credits in IMDB.

They had BUCKETS of funding from wizards of the Coast for this. They also had a massive studio with more than 400 people working on it.
They had the IP; they did not receive a single cent from WotC. They funded the game with money from their previous games, and in fact, they paid WotC for the IP.
- Comment on Star Trek executive producer wants more Strange New Worlds episodes, and I’m nervous 10 months ago:
To be fair with Ortegas they lean heavily into the thrill seeking flyboy archetype.
They do, but man an Erica Ortegas centered episode would be awesome. I would love to have an episode where we aren't reminded that "Hi, my name is Erica Ortegas; I fly the ship." Because at this point it feels like it's trolling the audience.
And considering the way the season ended, there's no guarantee that Ortegas makes it through alive. She's one of the few characters that doesn't have plot armor if TOS canon is to stand relatively unaltered.

Let hbomberguy tell you how Sherlock is bad by talking about it for what feels like an entire season of Sherlock.

- Comment on Star Trek executive producer wants more Strange New Worlds episodes, and I’m nervous 10 months ago:
While I understand your hesitation, I definitely believe there could have been at least five more relevant episodes in Season 2. This season was overall character driven instead of a "planet of the week" format we've seen before. So, there could have been some extra episodes that extrapolated on the seasonal Gorn arc, or an Ortegas episode, or a Pelia episode. There's a lot of potential to provide spanning character and seasonal arcs while delivering episodes from different planets over a 15 episode season.
I definitely believe 20 episodes is pushing it, but a 12-15 episode season could work if the stories are laid out well.

I knew Sean was going to give a down for that as soon as he mentioned it. You can tell by his inflection just where he’s going with it.
I’ve been watching his videos way too much…

Olyphant would have been great as Pike, for sure.

- Comment on Jim Kirk on Pike’s Enterprise - Inverse dives into an analysis of canon constraints and lack thereof 11 months ago:
I would surmise that Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow has somewhat altered the main timeline, and there could be some minor adjustments with the characters to accommodate the story that showrunners want to tell.
I'd consider the Pike/Kirk relationship to be a minor thing. If they meet again, I'd be okay with it if the story broke some of the canon. I mean, they already changed the timeline of the Eugenics War, so is it a huge deal if Pike and Kirk come face to face a couple more times throughout the series?
- Comment on "We Didn't Know It Was The End": Jonathan Frakes On Directing Star Trek Discovery Series Finale 11 months ago:
I like it as well, yet I didn't find a place in Trek forums until I left Reddit last month. So this is new territory for me. Take it in stride, there are other Discovery fans out there.
- Comment on "We Didn't Know It Was The End": Jonathan Frakes On Directing Star Trek Discovery Series Finale 11 months ago:
That's an interesting metric. Apparently the vitriol for Discovery is mostly contained to the internet.
This comes as no shock at all.
- Comment on Interview: ‘Strange New Worlds’ Director Jeff Byrd On Exploring The Dark Soul Of Star Trek At War 11 months ago:
I could only keep drawing parallels in Babs' performance to Jamis in Dune. It's like he brought the tension in that fight scene to the entire episode. He is an amazing actor, and I love how he brings this mystery to M'benga.
- Comment on Ups & Downs From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2.7 - Those Old Scientists 11 months ago:
Literally translates to "Time Portal." Yeah that was hilarious.
Sean didn't mention La'an's timing in the shuttle when she catches Boimler and Mariner in the shuttle just after she says "I never get caught." That was really funny as well.
Honestly there's just so much in this episode, that even after several viewings I'm sure you'd still be picking out small references and easter eggs here and there.
- Comment on Ups & Downs From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2.7 - Those Old Scientists 11 months ago:
I have to admit, like Sean, this is probably my favorite episode of the New Trek Era. There's been so much to unravel.
Riker!

Big pointy arrows and clickbait captioning? Usually not a good quality video, and very clickbaity.
