No screws. It had a thin wire to hold them on like glasses. Looking out of that thing is probably what gave him headaches.

That comic would be Joe Piscopo doing a very bad Jerry Lewis impression.

Yeah, Geordi tells Scott they can just recrystalize the dilithium when he freaks out about it.

That was a bit weird seeing as how him and Spock came up with it in Star Trek 4. Guess he was just having a Old Engineer Knows Best moment.

Man we are going to get hosed so hard by this. Streaming rights on Discovery will probably go to something godawful like Spike or Space for us (does Space even exist anymore?) and it'll air on cable only.

Not Canadian but Bell Media got the broadcast rights in the great northern wastes. So yeah Space it is.

With the way things are going there won't be a CBS All Access to air this on with all the other streaming deals CBS is making.

Don't forgot Kurtzman is in on this as well. At least Fuller's picks will be doing the showrunning for now.

Small favors that Orci is nowhere near this thing.

Also the Romulan Warbird bridge from Nemesis is the E Bridge redressed after it was trashed to look vaguely Romulan. Still looks like crap but less crowded.

man, what the gently caress happened to Paramount merchandising?

The last big push was for Star Trek 09 and after that failed the TNG remasters. After that I think they just silently gave up.

It's supposed to start filming this month and so far the only new info is some jerkoff exec at CBS said that Star Trek would only work on a streaming service and would not find an audience on broadcast TV. Not even one word about any of the cast.

Personally I'd like to play that simulation from the Persian side. Give the Spartans a right asskicking.

Staff fatigue was definitely part of it. In the AOL interview with Ron Moore that's been posted a few times he mentioned that after leaving DS9 to Voyager the writers were pretty much checked out and put in the bare minimum and it shows. Moore said that Voyager really didn't have anything to say compared to older TNG or DS9 episodes. What the hell was Workforce's point? Jobs are bad?

The series itself may or may not have been cooked up by someone else but the general concept had been kicked around by Roddenberry since the 70's, including the main characters name.

I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure we saw an Antares-class vessel WAYYY early on in Charlie-X. It was called uh, the Antares as I recall Charlie destroys it and everyone on board and, hilariously, the godlike being voiced by Doohan at the end is just like 'lolnup' and can't save the people on THAT ship but he can save all the Enterprise people that Charlie hosed with (even the ones who suffocated because they had skin over their faces I guess?). But everyone on the Antares was just hosed because Charlie made a baffle plat vanish.

What is a baffle plate

It only showed up in TAS and was added in the remasters later for TOS. So TAS is cannon.

How bad do you guys think Into Darkness is? Because I realized it's been a few years and I still think it's the second-worst Trek movie, right behind Nemesis.

Best part of Beyond is that you can watch '09 and skip Into Darkness completely and lose absolutely nothing.

Yeah I don't mind the recast of Sarek but All-Access is pretty much dead as a major streaming service. CBS has already thrown in with Hulu for its live streaming bundle.

Edit:drat I knew it was bad but apparently the app really blows on streaming devices.

There's a little side puzzle in the Star Trek 25th Anniversary game to figure out how to kill as many redshirts as possible.

It's hilarious that the Maquis were made specifically for Voyager yet TNG and DS9 did more with them than Voyager ever did.

Is it just me or is CBS doing an amazingly bad job at promoting this series? They pretty much punted on the 50th Anniversary but I figured they would be more on the ball the new series.

Quite a few independent comic stores have a stock of random old action figures at a higher markup than normal retail. That looks like it might be some kind of closeout store though.

There's no way they'd make a cheaper one like IV with that cast. All 3 have been massive, big budget tent poles and they aren't going back on that until another reboot comes around.
