This announcement seems oddly incomplete - maybe the hope is still alive?

AMC+'s offerings will not include the 26 seasons of the classic series that ran from 1963 to 1989. It will also not include the 60th anniversary specials with the return of Tennant's Tenth Doctor, or the two seasons starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor that are currently streaming on Disney+.

Oh great, more fragmentation...

Nice to see some movement at last, though.

In the short term, I think Carney is prioritizing "re-industrializing" the country over certain environmental protections.

I certainly have hope that the worst effects will be mitigated by things like what you're describing, but...I'm just not sure.

It is a little odd that they locked it to Tactical - not sure why they did that.

I assume you'll be able to edit the appearance once you've aligned with either the Federation or the Klingons, but I haven't really tested that out, so maybe I'm wrong?

If you're looking for a bright side, you could use one of them to play around with unconventional combinations, like a Tactical officer with a science vessel or whatever.

Also: you've probably noticed by now that the Jem'Hadar faction drops you straight into the endgame (or at least the endgame at it was in 2018), so you may be better off playing your older character for the time being anyway.

I tend to think that most deadlines will be missed, and most budgets will be overrun...the only question is degree.

I think Shatner is complicated because (a) he's 95 years old, and can't be expected to be fully "in touch," and (b) he has definitely had some questionable people handling his social media over the years.

+24 hours. But you can still be excited!

Up to 10 dead, including the suspect, now.

Oh cool, GFR has finally gone mask-off.

This has always been the case, but I'm going to take this opportunity to state that links to that site are not allowed here, and will be removed on sight.

Elbows way, way down.

I think this is an extremely lousy headline, but the content is good.

Firstly, the headline slightly misquotes what Matalas actually said (emphasis added):

“We wrote nine episodes at one point and the network was like, ‘No, we don’t really understand this, it’s a bit too sci-fi, it’s a bit too in-Star Trek.’

I think a story being a little too "inside baseball" and reliant on stuff from decades ago is a perfectly valid note, especially when we're talking about ideas like this:

The idea was that Guinan’s bar was presented as a normal bar in Los Angeles, but if you knew the right thing to do, you could go into the back through the telephone phone booth and that was Rick’s Café and it was a stopping point for all these different species that were actually there on Earth with a ‘Do not interfere’ thing happening.

The stuff about COVID messing with the writing and shooting schedule is understandable, and created problems that can be seen in many TV shows filmed around that time. All the same, it makes me wish they had decompressed the schedule and not rushed through things as much as they did.

The comments about there being a lot of different ideas in season two are interesting, since I think she overall series' biggest flaw is that it crammed a lot of ideas, many of which I like quite a bit, into only 30 episodes, with few (none?) of them being fully explored.

And regarding the Jurati Borg...I don't know, I never found that confusing in the slightest. I think their intent came through just fine.

My expectations for this one were high, but I'm really impressed with how well they pulled it off. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid did a great job of dialing their performances back just enough, and the SNW cast went just a little bit broader.
