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

  • Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful”

    Jump

  • So, putting aside your statements of quality (some of which I agree with and some of which do not, but it's all subjective so whatever), I personally wouldn't hold "audience size" or whether a series was cancelled against him, unless you think the shows weren't any good. Seems like IDIC to me.

  • Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful”

    Jump

  • He's not my favourite writer by any means, but I'm in almost total agreement with his overall approach to handling the property.

    He wants each series to be unique, hires the showrunners, and seems to let them do their own thing. I think it's a good approach, even though a couple of the projects fell short of their potential (y'know, in my opinion).

    And he seems to work well with the suits, which is probably a good thing overall?

  • Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!”

    Jump

  • There’s a newer TrekMovie piece

    Oh, thanks for this - I think I'll share the original!

    Edit: Never mind, it's paywalled. I guess I'll share the trekmovie version 🙄

  • Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!”

    Jump

  • "Hint" was probably a poor choice of words, when I really meant that a renewal hasn't been announced.

  • Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!”

    Jump

  • What's wrong with comedies?

    Star Trek has a long history of comedy episodes, and arguably even a film, depending on how you feel about "The Voyage Home".

    Comedy and morality certainly aren't mutually exclusive.

    Jump

  • On top of that, the Ellison regime didn't change the personnel directly in charge of CBS Studios (though they did change the people in charge of Paramount+, which is also relevant).

    There's also the lingering question of Kurtzman himself. He signed a five-year extension...five years ago. Not a peep regarding a renewal.

  • Photos From The ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ World Premiere

    Jump

  • Time travel's been outlawed by the Temporal Accords, so I hope not - someone could be in a lot of trouble.

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Carry the Legacy and Create the Future

    Jump

  • I would imagine people are more uncomfortable with the "standing and chanting" aspect - you definitely can't argue that those aren't Starfleet values with a straight face.

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Carry the Legacy and Create the Future

    Jump

  • I know what you mean.

    I was thinking about it, though, in the context of the post-Burn setting. A lot of these kids probably didn't grow up with a strong sense of any of those things, so maybe it makes sense to be pushing those values pretty hard.

  • This is in no way a defense of the new owners (they're bad), but the bribe was made by the old owners (they were also bad).

  • Ukraine's Zelenskyy says he's appointed Chrystia Freeland as an economic adviser

    Jump

  • Even a broken clock...

  • [Spoilers] Highlights from the SFX "Starfleet Academy" feature

    Jump

  • I agree with all of your examples but Harry, and I think it's meaningful that the rest are mainly...well, cadets.

    This is something that Star Trek has always explored.

    Sure, but there's at least potential here to give it a more in-depth treatment.

    I'm a lot more interested in the way the 32nd century setting plays into it all.

  • Watch: New ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Promos Reveal Surprising Deep Cut To TOS & More

    Jump

  • That's really not how it works. One show doesn't exist at the expense of another, or in this case four others.

  • Either that or the math teacher. Could go either way.

  • Mark Carney turns off geolocation on phone just in case

    Jump

  • ohhhh now i get it

  • Cities need to overcome the fear of the first step in change

    Jump

  • There are probably a lot of lessons that could be learned from Portage & Main.

    For the vast majority of the city's population, it was a place to pass through, not a place to exist, and it was absurd to have a city-wide referendum on it (I'm against referendums in general, but that's another discussion). Regional polling consistently showed that the people who actually live in the area supported re-opening the intersection to pedestrians.

    The fears surrounding re-opening the intersection were stoked by former mayor Sam Katz for years, in the interest of cheap political points.

    Sprinkle in some NIMBY businesses in the concourse below the interesection, and you have a recipe for inaction. Things only changed when they received a $74 million estimate to maintain the underground concourse.

  • No, that's them. I believe the caption is the photo credit.

    Jump

  • I admittedly didn't look very hard, but this is what I found.

    Honestly, it's such a word salad that I can't possibly be mad about it, if only because I was unable to decipher what, exactly, he was talking about.

  • ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Sulu and Bones for Series Finale

  • A time jump wouldn't surprise me - IIRC, there were two three-month gaps in between episodes during season three.
