Again, these are movies about inter-dimensional magicians with sentient capes and funny goatees. Maybe we can tone down the homophobia.

How do they make a billion dollars at the box office if they’re made for shut ins?

Variety reports Demimonde, the mysterious new series from J.J.Abrams starring Danielle Deadwyler, will follow Olive Reed, “a woman who is torn away from her husband and daughter in a brutal scientific accident.

Isn’t that what a lot of naysayers of current Trek want? If they got that, I think they’d call it slow and boring. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love TNG and, honestly, all of Trek (even Star Trek V). Each of these shows is a product of their times, and TV production and story-telling have shifted. In the those…

Some odd ad placement here with, plastered about the page for me at least, ads for doomsday prepper freeze-dried “patriot” food shit. Aren’t the folks who buy this garbage likely to be the ones making all the violent and insurrectionist posts discussed in these documents?

The showrunner responded to the same question on Twitter yesterday, saying that these ARE NOT cameos. Terry Matalas basically said this is the send-off the TNG crew deserved (nice, accurate dig at Nemesis).

“Thanks for coming. You sit over there and be the key bowl.” - Matt Gaetz, probably.

Catch 90%, sure. But all it takes is one typo for the wave of HOW DARE YOU to hit.

There’s, perhaps, a fine line here. Let’s take a look at Star Trek for comparison. What’s got so much of the fandom all twisted over the last 5 years? The creatives behind the newest Trek series dared to do something different. What was the slice of fandom shouting they wanted for decade before? “Give us new Trek!…

Yeah, but not like that. That’s too different. It should be like what we had before, almost a replica, but no, maybe not, it should be different, definitely new and different, but not too new and not too different.

Or the Mr. Belvedere - Wesley is now the butler to the academy’s dean of students.

What do you think about a Star Trek series set at Starfleet Academy? How much Star Trek is too much Star Trek, or is there no such thing?

So many shouted “we want new trek!” and wanted it different and fresh. Then they got it and shouted “no! not like that!”

Great point. Also: The existence of Trek that you don’t like doesn’t ruin your enjoyment of the Trek you do like.

I knew a guy who was convinced that German Shepherds were born understanding German and could only understand German. When I say convinced, I mean, after a few beers he would aggressively make the point nearly to getting physically violent. yeah. 

No, no need to avoid b/c you haven’t seen the No Way Home.

They were shown in the first Post-COVID special (part one), last month.

Dammit.

I don’t say this as a criticism of the show or the writers, but give it time. That’s to say, I wouldn’t be surprised if the show swings by that planet after the aliens get settled in because it’s a bigger impact if Grandma Alien has invited the kids over for Klapborp Day dinner three months later.
