I’m going to infer that Deadline made a typo, but I copied it verbatim from their listing.

This new listing of premiere dates through summer 2026 has a number of interesting confirmations and announcements for SciFi television fans:

  • June 3:\ The Legend of Vox Machina (Prime Video, Season 4)

  • July 13:\ Silo([Apple TV]

  • July 23:\ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+, Season 5; final season)

  • July 29:\ The Ark (Syfy, Season 3)

Regrettably geoblocked for Canada. Sigh.

IDW will be releasing another Godzilla one-shot for San Diego Comic-Con this July.

Preorders are open until June 15th.

Weirdly, IDW doesn’t seem to have the announcement on its own site but the Official Godzilla.com and many other genre fandom sites have the announcement and listing.

Who knew that franchise-branded electric guitar peripherals were becoming a thing?

A Godzilla pedalboard would have been fantastic for garage bands back when GenXers were young…

I really prefer the work by the team that’s now in charge of the television side. But they received a lot of negativity for K:SI so it seems the television medium is a better fit.

It will be interesting to see whether the film part of the franchise can ground things more again.

The cinematic release scheduled for 2027 Godzilla v Kong: Supernova, reported to feature Spacegodzilla, sound like it will continue to go in a different direction than the new television franchise with Apple that aligns more closely to the first two movies.

Toho-licensed Rodan has appeared again in the Monsterverse. Or, has he/she?

Hopefully, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season three will be confirmed soon so we can look forward to a couple of years of intense speculation among Kaiju fans.

Somehow I did not know this existed.

There a restored 1080p version available on Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/luigi-cozzis-godzilla

IGN provided this helpful piece that places Monarch: Legacy of Monsters within the broader Monsterverse continuity.

As a timeline refresher: The Monsterverse Godzilla movie that centered on the catastrophic G-Day event happened in 2014. Season 1 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters followed one year later in 2015 and ended with a two-year time jump to 2017. That was a result of the semi-successful rescue mission executed by older Shaw, Cate Randa (Anna Sawai), and May Olowe-Hewitt (Kiersey Clemons) into Axis Mundi, the pocket realm between Earth and Hollow Earth, to rescue a stuck-in-time Keiko. Season 2 then unfolded over a breakneck eight weeks in 2017, leaving about 18 months of open storytelling time until the Titan awakenings featured in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

There’s still a lot of social media debate out there however regarding the appearance of Rodan first in the continuity at the end M:LOM season two. Is it the same Rodan who appears later in Mexico in Godzilla: King of Monsters? Or, are there two distinct Rodan’s?

Since Rodan is a classic Toho Kaiju licensed to Legendary Entertainment, it’s a major commitment towards a third season narrative either way.

Paramount subscribers suing over the WBDiscovery merger?

Are there Star Trek fans left subscribing who are doing this?

I can’t see the Yellowstone Sheridanverse base being concerned…

It’s a silver lining to see Shatner using his platform for the greater good.

”…the show failed to find its significant audience.”

Put a show on a streamer that is targeting a completely different audience, and let the entitled vocal fans run wild with unchecked brigading, and then be surprised by low “crowdsourced” ratings.

Sigh.

This is depressing, if accurate, in that it may also be a signal that the new owner is looking for a new production company to manage the franchise just when things had finally and consistently stabilized with Secret Hideout.

I’m not hopeful for an SNW continuation in a Year One show, or Tawny’s project either.

There are exceptions. Someone who was up until recently a teacher may fall into the category of being in a position of trust or authority towards the minor. Without knowing the legal precedents, it’s hard to know how much of an edge case this is.

From the JusticeThe following factors may be taken into account when determining whether a relationship is exploitative of the young person:

From the* Justice Canada webpage on Age of Consent*

Sexual exploitation A 16 or 17 year old cannot consent to sexual activity if:

  • their sexual partner is in position of trust or authority towards them, for example their teacher or coach
  • the young person is dependent on their sexual partner, for example for care or support the relationship between the young person and their sexual partner is exploitative

The following factors may be taken into account when determining whether a relationship is exploitative of the young person:

  • the young person's age
  • the age difference between the young person and their partner
  • how the relationship developed (for example, quickly, secretly, or over the internet)
  • whether the partner may have controlled or influenced the young person

There’s still very low understanding of how devastating and threatening the convoy protests were for the residents and businesses in the core of Ottawa.

Residents, businesses and people who work downtown in Ottawa roll with protests day-in and out. Large ones usually are usually respectful of the legal limits, and local people know how to plan their days to avoid them if they need to.

This protest damaged hearing with unremitting high decibel air horns, polluted the air with weeks of nonstop truck emissions, actively harassed, intimidated and threatened local residents trying to get to work and essential services, filled the streets with garbage and feces.

They also created significant fire hazards and risked major explosions, including by creating a large stash of gasoline in tanks in Confederation Park - directly across the street from city hall, an armoury, and close to a high school as well as right across the narrow Rideau canal from National Defence headquarters.

But it was the utter lack of consideration for the most vulnerable that truly showed the incredible selfishness and lack of compassion of the protesters.

There are many lower income, disabled and senior residents in coop apartments downtown. Many rely on visiting services from care workers who could not get through the protests on most days. A small proportion had family and friends who were able to host them outside the area of the protests, most were trapped, isolated and terrorized.

There just doesn’t seem to be a limit to the amount of hype I’m willing to soak up in anticipation of this crossover.

Nothing close to too much as yet.

Well, I have to give the OP credit for outrageous audacity.

Coming to the main community on the dedicated Star Trek instance to argue that users should subscribe elsewhere is inherently a criticism. It says a lot about the tolerance of the mods and admins here that it’s been left to stand.

I myself appreciate a well moderated community because I believe it enables more discussion not less.

What stood out to me in the article was the disingenuous quote from the Oil & Gas industry saying that tax breaks aren’t subsidies because they are part of the tax system.

Those familiar with the tax system and public finance will be aware that Finance Canada has published a list of Federal Tax Expenditures and their value for a long time. There’s even a distinct section for fossil fuels.

Tax subsidies are subsidies.

Overbooking is regrettably the long standing practice of Air Canada.

Missing a holiday of a lifetime is really unfortunate. We’ve nearly experienced more dire circumstances travelling with small children when Air Canada attempted to bump us when we were connecting overseas from a codeshared flights.

Dan Gardner is right to profile his experience. I especially appreciate his underscoring that no matter how many steps he took as a customer - early online checkin 24 hours before the flight, arrival and in person checkin the airport well in advance, he and his son were still mysteriously taken off the flight at the gate at boarding with no explanation. The blithe disrespect that the staff at the checkin and gates have towards the travellers in such situations is one of the things that make flying with Air Canada so incredibly stressful.

Once upon decades ago, Air Canada used to offer vouchers for free additional flights as an incentive for travellers to agree to take a later flight. Now Air Canada feels it has the right to impose significant financial and personal cost on it customers without compensation, recourse or explanation.
