“one might expect moving over to the family-friendly platform Disney+ might dampen some of the queerness or queer themes... Davies, who created Queer As Folk and It’s A Sin”

It baffles me that I see so many jerkoffs in comment sections saying “Doctor Who went Woke because DISNEY!”

I think the bigger jump was The Doctor having any kind of human-compatible sexuality at all. Once that was broached in a big way with 10 and 11, having 14 and 15 lean queer should be inconsequential.

You can just make as many films as you want, you know.

My favorite genre is ‘article drumming up controversy from comments that are not all that controversial punctuated by snarky internet commentary’

Lower Decks has been the perfect fan-service payoff to longtime Trek fans who can objectively enjoy looking at the good, bad, and ridiculous parts of the 60 years of Trek history.

Tyler Burton Smith, who wrote the 2019 Child’s Play reboot-

LAST RONIN is a good comic! And why do people always forget that the original TMNT was never the goofy colour-coded team, but aimed at adults older kids with a bunch of violence. I don’t mind seeing that version again (even if it’s more serious than the original ‘gritty’ tone). 

Paramount could at least have the decency to never release these new series as part of a tax write-off.

Somewhere in Brooklyn, Jake Peralta freaking the fuck out!

That doesn’t mean what it used too, sadly. Or maybe renewing a show but then reneging on that later is an old thing I’ve only recently started to notice.

“That guy was a Ninja Turtle the whole time?!”

A shame since this is the best Trek has been in decades. Like I enjoy SNW quite a bit too, but something about LDS being a comedy gives it the freedom to embrace the sillier parts of Trek while still celebrating them, and to be charmingly earnest about it.

Star Trek used to role with 26 episodes a season, every year. Now you are lucky if you get 10 in two years. Its worse than Rick aand Morty.

BOOOOOOOO!!!

Paramount is too cheap and is running everything into the ground, spending resources on new series no one asked for.

God, Paramount is just setting fire to the whole Trek franchise all of a sudden, huh? Discovery is cancelled (it was not intended as the final season, though some last-minute reshoots in the last episode were done to make the ending more conclusive) Lower Decks is cancelled, Prodigy is cancelled and shipped off to…

“We live on a spaceship! Nobody is dying from a spear wound!”

Last I looked it up, Netflix was supposed to air Season 2 (or is it the back half of Season 1?) later this year.

I don’t think I’d call it “in trouble” when it was just renewed for Season 4 prior to season 3 even airing.

Any word on the second season of Prodigy?  I believe Netflix was gonna show it last I looked.  Both Lower Decks and Prodigy surprised me in how they took very different approaches to Star Trek but still managed to capture the spirit of the universe and show they were very much canon entries
