For most presidents, the speech would be handed out beforehand or right afterwards, because, you know, they can read and know how a speech works. With trump, they have to transcribe it live, then go back and try to figure out what the hell he was saying in certain areas.

I wonder why Cory Booker is going for the beard look when he's starting a run for president.  Odd.

I would say she can do better, but I’m pretty sure I’d say that no matter who she was with. So, I wish them all the happiness they’re meant to have!

I don't know which one of them to be more jealous of.

“See: people’s attitudes towards DS9 pre-Season 4“ 

Counterpoint: I liked all of those new Treks when they came out except for Enterprise and now Discovery.

You mean putting it behind a pay wall didn't bring new eyes to the franchise?  Shocking. 

“That’s why imo the closest thing to a great Star Trek movie in the last two decades was Master and Commander.”

I kind of suspect more people in the UK alone have seen Discovery (legally at least) than in the US, given the figures. It certainly seems to be more popular outside the US. Which I’m sure cannot have been helped by io9's rather demented reviews of it (obviously tastes vary but when some of them are so nutty they…

Amazon’s subscriber count is so inflated by people who have prime and use it only for free shipping. I wonder how many of those 100M even realize they have this TV service? 

CBS *hates* Star Trek’s world. It always has. TOS was killed because CBS hated it, and fans literally forced it back on the air for another season back in the 1960's. Look at how it treats fan works and also look at how they treat people with good stories in the trek realm. CBS has always loved star trek fans’…

Fallout is the highest grossing film in the series. The series won’t end until either it stops making money or Cruise calls it quits. Neither seems likely as of today.

I bought the blu rays and have yet to get around to watching them.

Except for anything Klingon-related, STD is quite watchable.  Also not liking Spock’s “new” look.

The blu-rays flopped for a number of reasons, with their high price tag and special features locked behind retailer specific sets being the big stand outs. This also came at a time when the viewing public was making the shift to digital and streaming services and they still haven’t figured that out yet.

Also, who needs more Kelvin Trek when we got THE PICARD coming back!!! Personally, I’m hoping for a Darmok & Jalad reunion tour!

IIRC CBS is the IP holder and licenses the movie rights to Paramount. 

There was a 2-3 year delay before Netflix got the HD remasters of TNG. Presumably by that point they figured that everyone who was going to buy the Blu-Rays had bought them. 

I mean, there are plenty of examples in which STD’s result in growths...

I grew up in Fremont, CA which had a whole host of weirdness going on. Niles canyon was an epicenter of sorts. Local lore included the Teddy Bear tree, Secret Sidewalk, Underground military tunnels full of tanks (possibly connecting to Lawrence Livermore labs). The high powered burning laser hitting people on 680 in…
