It didn't help that UPN dissolved right after season four.

Eh, I'd rather a show reach and fail than do the same thing. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

If, one day, one of your kids sets fire to the living room rug…go easy on him.

I actually kind of like how green they showed the crew to be in the first two years. And they need season three in order for the crew to come back as heroes. That gave them the credibility to be sent off of the kind of missions they got in season four. In a perfect world, the first two seasons would be consolidated…

So, like how Judgement Day in Terminator keeps moving to some date about five years in the future?

The premise of a series is never the problem. It's always the execution. Star Trek has infinite possibilities for series. It could have been Assignment: Earth, or a planet-side show, or a show about the Federation Council, or about a mining colony, or the Orion Syndicate. Roddenberry himself even considered a…

Who wants to meet up in Bozeman, MT on April 5, 2063…just in case?

Yes, until Star Trek II, it was never specified it was even the 23rd century, even though it was presumed. Even then, the unofficial consensus was that it was the early 23rd century, to the point where Data claimed to be from the "class of '78," perhaps a quarter century before TNG took place.

The budgets for these movies have gotten way out of hand. It raises the expectations to astronomical levels. In the 90s, movie tickets were $8 and were considered monster blockbusters if they made $100 million. Now, tickets are like $12-20 and considered flops if they make $200 million. It's insane.

I'm going to see that in Boston in October.

Here are all four speaking about the racism in Hollywood:

I keep on wanting her to play the next Doctor on Doctor Who.

Well you can if you want to:

Being "of color" has less to do with actual skin color and more to do with the collection of physical attributes a person has that make such a person considered different from those in power, namely those of ethnically Western European background.

Who's "we?"

She's already asserted her voice by the way she's casting this movie in a way that eschews the white casting of previous adaptations:

Directors often like to use people they've worked well with in the past. She had a great experience working with Oprah on Selma, both artistically and professionally, so of course she'd work to make her a part of it.
