That Red Squad X-O was a promising member of the Nechayev Academy for Lawful Evil Admirals

Is the irish one the same one where Riker and Crusher kill their own half-formed clones? Because having an identical sibling you never need to interact with makes you less special or something?

OK I take it back, that's not the worst episode since the clone colony is a cool premise at least. The rest of it is crap though. I will revaluate my pick for worst episode.

The solution for the clone people not dying out being that they need to start loving the Space Irish doesn't make that episode any better

Any pro-choice message is somewhat undermined by the ending, where Picard and the male leaders of the two colonies work out a breeding plan to ensure their mutual survival without any input from either colony's women...

I always found it odd that a medical doctor had zero qualms about vaporizing what were basically fully-grown clones just waiting for the timer to ding. She just ok’d Riker to euthanize a bunch of 30-40 year olds in less time than it took to decide on breakfast.

So what does this Les Moonves news mean for Star trek, if anything?

Probably not much. Moonves was big on All Access but I doubt they would kill it/move shows off it just because he left. He was also opposed to a Paramount merger so if that gets pushed through now that he’s gone, the Trek IP might get properly reunited. He was hardly big on Trek himself so in theory, someone else who comes in might try to mess around with the content of Disco more than he did. Not something to bank on though.

I remember watching some old video on YouTube where it seemed like Moonves or some other old guy was most responsible for mandating all the weird creative choices with the Klingon redesigns. I can't dig up the video now.

It may have been one of those Midnight's Edge videos, I think they called Moonves being put away over something but a lot of what they say comes off like nerdbait so I don't know how much stock to put into it

I believe Fuller was the one who had a massive hard on for the Klingons being bald.

Retardog posted:So what does this Les Moonves news mean for Star trek, if anything? Not good. Part of the deal is an 18th month moratorium on Shari Redstone and National Amusements (major shareholder in both CBS and Viacom/Paramount) talking remerger. So expect another year and a half of divided franchises. Imagine if we were in the heady world of the 80s/90s/00s where Michael Dorn could Worf it up on tv and film, Mark Lenard could play Sarek anywhere, etc and weep. You cannot tell me that Winona Ryder and Zach Quinto, who are both currently on tv series wouldn't at least consider being on DISCO. Or Peter Weller coming back as a Prime Timeline version of Admiral Marcus. But it ain't gonna happen now I guess.

It's not taking itself too seriously and basically spitballing the style of show you could try to make to please as many as possible while also demonstrating the inherent difficulty in actually doing that. However, kurtzman is involved so we'll get the first option *looks morosely into the lens accompanied by tuba fart* Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Sep 13, 2018 |

The four ‘Short Treks’ have been revealed by CBS. They start airing Oct 4th and then one a month through January. One of them focuses on a new character. https://twitter.com/jonathansfrakes/status/1042842088105275392?s=21

Hell, you're throwing around matter-antimatter warheads and warping the fabric of space to go faster than light, why the gently caress can't you be big and bombastic while doing so?

The one with the new character is written and directed by Michael Chabon, which could be interesting. I see they are also letting Rainn Wilson direct the Harry Mudd one.

I hope that this is the reason that the rest of the TNG cast haven't been approached for the series yet. I mean it doesn't have to be TNG take 2 to work as a show but to do a show with Picard and snub the rest of the cast would be a hell of a thing.
