My tinfoil: she survives, but is mangled/killed soon after so he has a love interest in place when the Talosians take him from the beep beep chair into his own nexus/matrix.

Ya in his quarters he decries the Klingon bastards that killed his son. But at the dinner with Gorkon he drinks and toasts with klingons. He leaves it in his quarters, which of course backfires.

Woah isn’t that exactly what he himself tries to do in Undiscovered Country?

Maybe you’re right.

I had a response written but at one moment I wondered “is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?”

Maybe TrekCorp isn’t at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.

A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather’s restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

Can we get the Andor folks to make this? Turns out the extended story of a supporting character can be amazing when done well.

On top of being an excellent documentary the credits are a masterclass in advertising; I absolutely bought it for all the stuff teased in credits.

Today is a good day to die observe trek fans are fucking lit👏

Never have I been so delighted to read such obscure trivia

Ya look at the cast photo, everyone looks genuinely happy. I’m rooting for them to succeed.

Wow Really? I enjoy Phillip Glass but I had no idea. What can I search for to learn more? “14.4baud phillip glass” is giving me nothing 😔

Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he’s protecting me from mummy’s curse.

Ya I will figure it out, it’s just another clown lording over an imaginary fief.

Can’t wait for code review lol.

if they ever do an oral history of the development of that series, it will be a juicy read.

I agree. I’ve never been interested in meeting any of the cast of any of the shows, buuut if I got the chance to meet any of them I would absolutely choose disco so I can ask how it went down.

It’s just the same story, Netflix picked it up then declined to renew.

Their process ignores gems like Scavenger’s Reign and workhorses like Prodigy in favor of, I dunno, bean counting?

… the removal of the hair, having done hairless Klingons with J.J.’s films. So I’d personally already gone through the Internet backlash, and so when Bryan said, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do bald Klingons, like it’s gonna be tricky, man.’ And so everyone was salting the broth.

Sometimes you just gotta keep making the same mistake until you learn. At least this guy is humble and practical about it.

cries in Scavenger’s Reign

I won’t say no to more of this

Hell ya! One of Quark’s finest scenes:

They have weapons. You have weapons. Everyone has weapons. But right now, no one has a clear advantage. So the price of peace is at an all-time low. This is the perfect time to sit down and hammer out an agreement. Don’t you get it? Attacking the Cardassians now will only escalate the conflict and make peace more expensive in the long run. Now, I ask you, is that logical?

Your 4 year goal reminds me a lot of Cogmind’s development and the video about the journey

Best of luck

That was a great read, thanks.

Kinda surreal to read about disco without also reading about disappointment.

Wildest part is how good it sounded at the time:

“Things are at a fever pitch right now, I believe we can all agree. The devastation, the oppression, the genocide, the division around the world, I think it has reached a fever pitch, and I absolutely think that it’s causing people to lose hope in a lot of ways,” she says. “So yes, I think people are looking for something to hold onto, they’re reaching and grasping for glimmers wherever they may find them. It’s why I feel so honoured and blessed to be a storyteller, number one, and to be telling this story, because I believe it speaks to that. I believe seeing this utopian future, even with its challenges, is incredibly, incredibly hopeful and inspiring.”

I feel they already have; the Klingon bridge crew from the musical episode appeared as TNG-ridged.

Truly a subtly unretconning of the Klingon look without even addressing it.
