It’ll be a while before I can watch this one, but I predict that Jim Kirk was an hallucination the whole time.

I look forward to logging in and seeing just how badly I’ve been roasted for being wrong.

Well, dang it.

Reddit seems all doom and gloom on the topic but what about Lemmy? And the future of Star Trek?

I saw someone on Reddit wondering why the community was so sure of Trek going dark again with Paramount not doing so well financially. Seeing the response was unfortunate as most people feel that it might be a bad time for Trek. And I guess it makes sense with the Hollywood strikes as well....

Even if Paramount+ collapses, “Star Trek” as a franchise will be fine. They’ll just revert to the more traditional model of producing shows and selling them to someone else to distribute.

I’m not sure the currently in-production shows would survive that sort of shift, but the franchise would boldly go on.

The description for the Hall H panel is hilariously vague - there will be reveals! And surprises! No need to ask who’s hosting!

Well, now we know their strike strategy.

I shouldn’t be too harsh - they have screened episodes before, and this might always have been the plan.

It’s a bit misleading to say it was “removed,” considering it’s a completely different banner.

Of course, he also melded with Gabrielle Burnham prior to this, as seen in “Perpetual Infinity”.

And was totally fine, with absolutely no adverse effects.

I don’t want to be that guy, but given the state of the industry, and series being cancelled without warning, it feels more like 2004 to me.

And no, it’s not a perfect comparison.

One Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Scene Made Christina Chong & Paul Wesley Want To Puke

Now I want to rewatch this scene with what the actors were going through in mind. Egad.

That’s interesting - it seems like Melissa Navia, Celia Gooding, and Jess Bush had a similar experience filming the most recent episode.

I’m not mad about it, but that first shot of Uhura and Kirk has serious Scooby Doo energy.

Correct - episode 7 is called “Those Old Scientists”.

I think that should be a pretty big grain of salt, given that every other series save Prodigy has seasons of exactly the same length (Discovery’s final season will also be ten episodes).

All right, the OP has made their sales pitch, and further discussion is unlikely to be productive.

Just a reminder: going to other spaces on the internet in order to manipulate votes or otherwise cause trouble is uncool, and we will take action against anyone we catch doing it. I’m proud to say that this does not appear to have happened in this case, so thank you all for that.

A further reminder that posts of this nature are considered off-topic for c/startrek - Fediverse posts belong on c/quarks.

Star Trek: Adventures — Captain's Log: My first impressions

Hello, all! Several days ago, one of you fine Lemmings posted a link to the new solo-oriented edition of Star Trek: Adventures. As one does, I immediately bought it and read the entire 300-some-odd pages. Lol. If anyone else was considering doing so, or is even remotely curious about it, here are my first impressions and a...

Wow, thank you for this detailed description!

How different are the game mechanics of this solo version from the main STA game? You mentioned that they are different, but also fairly compatible.

it hasn’t been said publicly if the conversion of that series into a single film was completed before the strike began in May

It’s very unlikely that it was - when they announced that “Section 31” will be a movie instead of a series, they also announced a new writer, Craig Sweeny. Unless he had a pretty big head start before the announcement, I doubt much work has been done.

Here’s the SAG-AFTRA FAQ for members.

You cannot participate in conventions such as Comic-Con on behalf of, or to promote, companies we are striking against - this includes appearances, panels, fan meet and greets, etc. involving struck work. You may participate in a convention in ways that are wholly independent of characters from struck work or sponsorship by struck companies. If you have any questions relating to this distinction, please contact [email protected].

Please make sure your language settings have BOTH “Undetermined” and “English” selected. That is the culprit 90% of the time.

What was that bit about Pike’s girlfriend looking for Dilithium?

Pelia, the new engineer, is out looking for dilithium - not Batel.

It was previously established that Pelia and Amanda are friends.

Just send them an e-mail reminding them that the economics of the future are somewhat different, and money doesn’t exist in the 24th century.

What's your views on PIC season 3?

I’m currently rewatching it, and at first I admit I hated the season and didn’t understand all the praise it got, but on this second viewing, I am actually warming up a bit to it. It still is deeply flawed, with a lot of things that don’t make sense or could have been done better, but I kinda like it regardless. What do...

I thought it got off to a promising start, but ultimately it wasn’t for me.

By the end of it, it seemed to me like nothing more than a series of clumsy excuses to get the band back together, without much regard for the actual story allegedly being told. I was never really excited by the prospect of the big TNG reunion, so I wasn’t a fan.

How is that Guggenheim book? I haven’t heard much about it since the original announcement.

The system is a lot of fun - very narrative-focused, which is a great fit for a Trek game.

The game’s been around since 2017, and the company seems to be on good footing.

Right now, content like that is welcome in c/startrek - it’s a pretty big tent.

That’s not to say we’d never set up a dedicated community for something like that, but we’d want to be sure that’s the way to go.
