It looks cool, but potentially dangerous?
I think those have all been added, IIRC.
Not sure about the Enterprise-G.
I think the episode implies ethical issues, but stops well short of spelling them out. The fact that Kingsley concealed the childrens' true natures for as long as she did suggests that their research was not on the up-and-up.
My best guess is that the station's research, on paper, fell within Federation regulations, but their actual work did not. But that's stretching pretty far, given that no one explicitly raises the issue.
This is the first I've ever heard of a login required at star trek dot com.
It's mainly a charity thingie - TrekCore has a summary.
Maybe more importantly, it doesn't look like they're doing any panels on Star Trek Day this year.
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
I think the season really gets cooking with "Boom," and there's a string of pretty solid episodes in there.
All in all, a pretty average season (and I don't mean that in a bad way - it was just pretty typical highs and lows).
Interesting take. Do you have an example?
All right, I'm convinced. Henceforth, every Friday is Bell Riots Day, forever.
I struggle to put my feelings on speculation into words. Obviously, it has its place, and there would be something very wrong with the show if we didn't feel the urge to speculate about where the story is headed.
I think it's runaway speculation that spawns ridiculous conspiracy theories that really irks me, if that makes sense.
It all makes sense when you (don’t) think (too hard) about it!
You need to trademark this and license it to the BBC ASAP.
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.
I was mostly concerned about the docking pylons being too realistic, but I can't guarantee that wouldn't happen, either.
