It feels like the chose them to fill in the gaps in the collections of fans across every show and the movies - but also to profile legacy characters featured in new productions.
Rachel Garrett is surely there because of S31 and Jellico is more popular than ever after Prodigy.
Most structural starship components would require large industrial replicators.
These seem to always be centrally located and powered.
What someone can do with a small home model would be quite different.
I saw him at a con in the late 80s.
By way of concession, when responding not so enthusiastically to questions from the audience about the shenanigans Shatner and Nimoy got up to in order to blow off steam during long shooting days, Doohan said that since he’d been in real combat in WW2, he had a different approach to work and not a lot in common with them.
TNG movies are tricky in that they do embed a few spoilers.
If your wife doesn’t get into DS9, I’d consider hopping over to Voyager. It’s uneven throughout its run, but has many ‘best of trope’ episodes, and has proved to be the most successful entry series to the franchise of all of them.
He doesn’t want to hear because he is known for blurting things out to media and fans…
Came here to say this! THE WHITE BELTS!
If they’re in primary school, start them off on Odd Squad.
It’s a madcap Canadian TVO Kids (TV Ontario) public broadcaster educational math show that was made with partner funding from PBS in the United States, and is now available online in many other countries.
The creators and writers clearly knew and referenced Star Trek.
‘The Trouble with Centigurps’ ’ episode is a straight up Tribble Trouble homage with skip counting.
Here’s a season one Odd Squad trailer.
Thanks for the heads up.
I can see that there might be a need to ensure some consultation in a sub, such as a notice period. Especially so for users that might wish to delete their post and comment history before a sub goes NSFW or private, but this is just another step.
As if being an early adopter in selling all their content to train LLMs wasn’t enough to justify avoiding the place.
Ok, what I’m seeing in this picture is Coneheads.
Here’s another take.
We know that everything was reshaped to flatter and entice Patrick Stewart to come back and play Picard.
He kept refusing and keep on insisting on Picard’s life should be a reflection of his own.
But the suits at ViacomCBS (and later Paramount) put priority on greenlighting anything they could get with Picard as a character.
So, whatever initial concepts with and without Picard were all sacrificed in the end in order to indulge Stewart enough to play the role.
It’s absurd. Our kids ended up playing Star Trek with Playmobil’s space and ‘Future Planet’ planetary exploration lines. (I doubt these even still exist.)
When the Star Trek line finally arrived it was only TOS.
We picked up some good deals from the promotion this week.
Several Star Trek licensed games are on Steam, now at a significantly discounted price for the annual Star Trek Day celebration.
These include the MMP Star Trek Online, but also single player games Star Trek Bridge Crew and Star Trek Resurgence (a choose your own path role play game).
We’d waited until Resurgence came to Steam, because we did want to buy it from Epic, but decided to be even more patient and wait for a sale so we could get it for our teens as well. I’ve been playing in parallel with one of our teens and debating the impacts of our very different choices.
I have had Bridge Crew since 2022, but we got copies for the teens yesterday. One is into it. It requires running an Ubisoft account synched to Steam which can be annoying, but otherwise G2G.
Having reached my exasperation on the total lack of information from Bell Media on a Canadian release, I asked @GoodAaron@mastodon.social if he or the Hagemans could share any information. Here is his reply on Mastodon.
It’s great to have EPs who will engage with us.
I’m still gearing up my recipes for a Star Trek Prodigy Soirée for the premiere!
In case you haven’t seen this, CBS entertainment sponsored a social media influencer to develop watch party ideas for the Prodigy Season 1 finale Supernova Soirée .
I’ve been experimenting and building on some of these ideas for the premiere of season two. One of Canada’s favourite ice cream brands has this interesting suggestion for A triple-berry yogurt sorbet float punch that seems very Star Trek Prodigy themed.
Controlled technology and not easily built from scratch even by Starfleet engineers.
The Relaunch novelverse expanded the concept and importance of industrial replicators. When Voyager returned to the Delta Quadrant, she led an small ‘Full Circle’ fleet that included a large engineering ship that did have industrial replicators large enough to reconstruct ships when severely damaged.
Lowere Decks and Prodigy have brought industrial replicators into onscreen canon.
Prodigy gave the Protostar prototype ship an industrial replicator large enough to construct shuttles. Lower Decks has shown the Cerritos and other ships tasked with delivering and bringing online very large industrial replicators on planets seeking Federation support.
