Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

    And the pipeline deal is why she was asking, so what's the difference, exactly?

  • Wrestling's an interesting..."sport" isn't quite the right word, but I can't think of what else to call it right now. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but it was also pretty inescapable in the late 90s, so I've seen my fair share.

    It's absolutely a performance, but especially over the last couple of decades, the industry has shifted away from maintaining "kayfabe" and mostly just embraces the phoniness (though they still play it absolutely straight in the ring).

    At the end of the day, it's a very unique type of performance art that requires both athleticism and, for the most successful wrestlers, acting chops.

    And yeah, there are definitely toxic aspects to it and its fan base.

  • Discovery never had a connection to Abrams/Bad Robot, unless you were to count Alex Kurtzman, but he's been involved with every series of the new era, so...you kind of can't?

    In any case, I agree - the D&D movie was a lot of fun, and while I wouldn't want a ST movie to strike that tone, I'm interested to see what they cook up.

  • New ‘Star Trek’ Movie In The Works At Paramount From Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley

    跳过

  • After breathing new life into high-profile IP like the Spider-Man franchise and Dungeons & Dragons, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are looking to boldly go where no directors have gone before with a very popular franchise. Sources tell Deadline, the duo are coming on to write, produce and are attached to direct a new original Star Trek film for Paramount. They will produce under their GoldDay banner.

    Based on this, it seems like they've completely broken from JJ Abrams/Bad Robot - they were seemingly always connected to previous projects.

    I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it'd be a tough sell.

    Edit: And to be clear, even in that situation, we're talking about disclosure, not actual treatment-related choices.

  • Strictly speaking, there's no formal rule - you won't find a CBS/Paramount definition of "canon" anywhere that I'm aware of.

    In practice, they stick with the tv shows and films.

    But they've also worked very hard over the last few years to keep the tie-in novels and things like that "canon-ish," in that they flesh out backstories from the shows, and the shows mostly don't step on their efforts.

    It sounds like the podcast is getting that treatment - as far as they're concerned, this is what happened, and they have no plans to contradict it (and, considering the nature of the story, it's not likely to come up one way or another).

  • "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot."

    跳过

  • Honestly, I'd take this with a small grain of salt.

    I don't doubt Variety's reporting, but this amounts to a bullet point in a larger article, and while I'm sure they've "moved on" from whatever they had cooking, I think it's also possible that they could develop another project with that crew, if they have a script that they like well enough.

    We'll see what happens - it's been years of them being unable to get a project going, and I don't expect that to change any time soon.

  • I don't think it's that straightforward. They just gave the South Park guys half a billion dollars, and re-upped Jon Stewart for another year.

    The CBS News division is a tire fire right now, but I don't think there have been signs of creative interference in the studios.

    You know, yet.
