Pretty gutted at this news, but as others have pointed out, this move may cement LD as a classic without outstaying their welcome. And hopefully there is a desire for more animated Trek now

Enjoyed his interview on Jimmy Kimmel. He reenacts his death scene and frankly it’s quite good

Garl has got to be one of my fav character names. Garl
PS bought the messenger after beating sea of stars, and got stuck and gave up at the bloody demon general. Rarely do games stump me like that, but I just cannot beat him

Interesting, thanks!
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Sets Filming Window & Episode Count 2 months ago:
I haven’t watched Discovery past episode 6 or 7 of season 1 (after the klingon sex scene, I tapped out) . I take it they’re 1000 years in the future now, and that’s when this series takes place?
If so, oof, it will be hard to identify with a millenium of progress, unless they pull a Futurama and have everything rebuilt a few hundred years in (after the second coming of Jesus of course). Why not go back to the Harve Bennett-era academy series for inspiration? Or set it after Nemesis?
The only redeeming grace for me so far is having Tawny Newsome (or is it Trondy Newman?) in the writers room. She is an absolute delight

Now this I’m interested in. Andor was a quite good and, importantly, character-driven study of a desperate man growing to challenge an insurmountable empire… You know, in contrast to the exhaustive world building and effects-heavy “pew pew” fan service that has become the rest of modern star wars
I dare say, I’d also enjoy this film much more than the nixed Tarantino film
- Comment on Interview with PRO writer and co-producer, Aaron Waltke, on The Greatest Trek 4 months ago:
When a very important Star Trek person wanders into Ben’s cargo bay, he leaves the handmade gun at home to avoid another encounter with security. But with a 50% hit rate on the backstage rider, “Bowmore 15 or similar” results in something “perfectly drinkable”. How did Waltke Senior inform Rok-Tahk’s mouth? Is Kevin Uxbridge being discussed inside of Big Rodd’s pocket? Does Nickelodeon slime have a shelf life? It’s the episode that’s made for specialized collectors of Star Trek V memorabilia!
This is in English but I have absolutely no idea what it says
- Comment on Let's remember some Star Trek games 5 months ago:
From the other thread
Speaking of demos, anyone remember the trailer for the game Secret of Vulcan Fury that was included in front of Interplay games, touting the voices of the original cast? So sad it was never released, considering it was deforest Kelley’s last turn as McCoy. I wonder if the original audio tapes still exist and someone could turn it into a game…
Here’s the trailer I remember
But also found this “footage” when looking for the trailer
There was much hullabaloo over the game being written by DC Fontana, and of course the entire original cast having laid down recordings. That said, if I recall correctly, they never even had a working version before Interplay folded.
As I mention above, wonder where those VR tracks went and if they could be rescued and turned into a game, radio play, etc. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been lost to time or, if they still exist in someone’s garage , aren’t too degraded

- Comment on When is Lower Decks Season 5 Starting? 6 months ago:
Thanks, didn’t know that
I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things
- Comment on When is Lower Decks Season 5 Starting? 6 months ago:
Writers strike likely affected scripts…
Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing…
So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025

That the Defiant is as big as the entire saucer on the Constitution class is wild. I thought it was much much smaller

- Comment on Does anyone think the remaining "lost" episodes of "Heil Honey, I'm Home" will ever be released? 8 months ago:
The retconning was pretty bad and I didn’t care for the future wars stuff (it was a stretch even for a show built on superpowers and parallel universes) , but I’d say Fringe ranks above average in the finale department

- Comment on Star Trek Day 2023 Special 8 months ago:
Aw, the Prodigy erasure is so real
I didn’t think studios made these kind of fluff pieces anymore, so it hits on the nostalgia factor of early 2000s Entertainment Tonight vibes. The section with tawny newsome and Eugene cordero got a laugh from me. Jackie Cox was delightful. Jerry O’Connell looks like he desperately wants to be anywhere else

… Absolutely no relation
- Comment on Space.com poses the debate-provoking question whether SNW S2 overdid the gimmicks? 8 months ago:
What turns me off about SNW is that The Orville is a better return to form to “classic Trek” than actual Star Trek. The episodes revolving around Topa’s gender and identity is some of the best scifi commentary on modern society out there right now.
I think it’s good that CBS never gave MacFarlane his own ST show, lest he be beholden to all the history of the franchise (the same thing that is, in part, weighing down SNW). Who knew that khan was Kirk’s father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate?!

This was fascinating, thank you !
I am so so sorry, but is anyone else getting tremendous butthole vibes from the Merchant Marine Spacecraft Duty Insignia? How did that get past the producers?
