This article’s extremely inaccurate. All of the Trek movies (both pre-Abrams movies and afterward) have always been owned by Paramount. CBS took ownership of all of the TV series in the split.

This did cause some weird legal wrangling with the later movies, because the licenses for the actual characters Kirk, Spock,…

Dept of Transportation rules actually mandate that all tickets can be refunded within 24 hours of purchase. So if it was only a couple of hours then it falls under that rule.

My understanding is that they’re the same thing and 7-11 just licenses it from Coke (owner of ICEE) to call them Slurpees instead.

Darvin wasn’t ENTIRELY able to fool medical scans, since McCoy figured it out in about 10 seconds with a tricorder.

I believe in the pilot they said that Klingon sightings were “rare”, but they didn’t say “completely non-existent.”

CBS is taking the time to focus on making sure this is a quality show out of the gate.

The 30 minute puzzle solution was actually a hack they put together for the single-player game after Ubisoft abandoned the MMO. The puzzle was always designed to be solved by 2 players working in tandem. In the current free online version it's been restored to it's intended solution, which works much better.

In all seriousness I tried watching Sesame Street on HBO with my toddler and it just isn't as good any more. I'm not talking about rose-colored glasses back to the 80s when I saw it, but even looking at the most recent seasons that came before.

It's also possible the registry number is just an homage to the Space Shuttle Discovery (registry number OV-103)

Fun fact: My wife actually was a contestant on Jeopardy! last year, and one of the clues in her show actually had a Celebrity Jeopardy reference in it. (They slip them in time to time)

Man, someone needs to do one of these for Pat Sajak. These days he looks like he's about ready to fling his cue cards at the next person who asks to buy a vowel.

Enterprise was built to eventually be used in missions. NASA's first mission plans even included her. The problem they ran into (and didn't anticipate even though they probably should've) was that they made a number of design changes between the prototype and production versions, and the cost of refitting Enterprise…

No, I can predict with reasonable certainty that you will not be able to now.*

Apparently the 12/1 episode is going to be all about him.

The nice thing about the scorpion being in Helena's head is that there's nothing stopping her from re-imagining a new Pupok.

This has all the nostalgia of the Reading Rainbow kickstarter with none of the educational merit.

I think the creepiness came from just how empty the places you went were. I was always expecting someone to jump out at me, even though that never happened.

There's really only two acceptable ways of making this series:
1. Get someone like Guillermo Del Toro on board and bring a strong emphasis on practical effects.
2. Go the "Wheel of Time" TV pilot route and make it on no budget with lots of blue screen and 90s era CGI.

Like Pontifex said, S3 titles are from the Military-Industrial Complex speech.
