And there goes any excitement I had reading the article.

Don’t worry, someone got fired for that.

The characters of Lower Decks feel like people who watched Star Trek as opposed to people who live it, which is not a very interesting concept.

Has anyone seen these two lately?

To bad Zack Snyder’s not with DC anymore; Majors wouldn’t even have to act to play Doctor Light.

The brain bugs were the original baddies for this season until Matalas didn’t rewatch the episode and misremembered how they worked.

Everyone hates her, so she’ll live.

If they bring in the Pah-Wraiths, they have to bring in Sisko and considering Avery Brooks hasn’t acted since DS9 ended-- he claims he’s been blacklisted-- I don’t see that happening.

They wouldn’t have had the Titan kids steal one of the museum ships because that would mean they’d A- have to build new sets and B- keep them accurate to the old sets and have more than four lights on at any given time. Plus, the Defiant and HMS Bounty don’t have holodecks, so they can’t use the bar set anymore.

They’re doing a SNW/LD crossover next season, so I doubt that’s happening on his show, too. My money’s on Denise Crosby— as Sela— or maybe Wil Wheaton again. Wesley’s time travel thing could handwave away Jack’s broken brain and it would be a little disappointing if the brothers didn’t get a scene together.

The second Defiant was never shown cloaking; she only saw action in the final battle of the Dominion War. (The use of the original model and stock footage is why she’s labeled NX-74205 and not NX-74205-A, as the writers intended.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole present-day Los Angeles setting was to save money to use for this season. It’s more FX heavy and getting the TNG cast probably wasn’t cheap. Probably why the bulk of the season so far has been set on the Titan, too.

It's also a good way to show how the Kingpin managed to get out of jail and start rebuilding his power base.

My ex-wife admitted to assaulting me and the only reason she was convicted is because I showed up to testify. The bar is super low.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Nah, she's Akira Yoshida's sister.

If I don't care about the movie, I don't care about spoilers. For example, I read the interview with the director of Shazam 2 because I'm probably not going to see that until it hits HBO. On the other hand, I avoided everything about the most recent episode of Star Trek: Picard because I couldn't watch it until I got…

It could theoretically be someone in the actor’s orbit. An assistant or friend who sees the script sitting on a table, flips through it, snaps some pics and shares it to get a bit of internet clout.

I don’t mind if a regular asks me, because 99% of the time, they’ll say something like “I want to try X spirit, but I’m not sure what works well with it.” If some random person does it, they’re getting a shot of Malort.

Michelle Forbes didn't want to commit to a series, hence the creation of Kira.
