I hadn’t considered Pelia still being alive, but it’s a cool idea.
They could even do a story arc with the cadets joining Kovich and other familiar faces in tracking her down. Bryce and Reno, both engineers, would have certainly had her as a prof at the Academy. Might be a great season two story once Pelia’s moved on from SNW.
There was a court case over this. The court found that it wasn’t true that DS9 was based on Stryczynski’s pitch.
I was at a con in the early 90s shortly after DS9 had its first season. Rick Sternbach came out. He did an entire slide show of all the production design evidence they’d submitted to the court. They’d working on developing models for a space station for a show for a long time before. He had huge numbers of drawings. The big thing was the decision to switch from a Federation built mushroom shaped station to an alien design.
Not every Star Trek show needs to be made for you or your (our) age group. We need new shows to appeal to younger viewers and keep the franchise fresh.
I’m an old thing who watched TOS in first run in my primary grades. I have absolutely zero patience with the position you’re taking. I watch it all and don’t need to see people my age as the principal characters anymore than I did when I was six.
Shows aren’t made for the mass audience anymore, and even TNG was a bit beyond our kids when they became franchise fans as middle graders. They loved watching Voyager reruns though, demonstrating to me why it was the most successful Trek show on Netflix.
Always an important reminder.
More Star Trek is good, & like Lower Decks and Prodigy, which are also designed to appeal to different, younger audiences, the old fans might just find they love them too.
Many of the old TOS fans were unbearably resistant to anything but the original crew and ship, even though movies were being made about them. (They had done the same thing when TAS was in development.) It was really difficult to come to a convention between 1987 and 1990 as a TNG fan.
I can appreciate the camp now. In the 90s, it was very cringey. . . and in the 60s & 70s I was too young to get that it was campy.
Posts like this reconcile me to the bad, infinitely-memed guy in a Gorn suit in TOS ‘Arena’.
OP can I recommend Star Trek: Lower Decks as your gateway … to the onscreen franchise. A logical place to start.
LOL
So far, all the slippage of major events has been downstream - Eugenics war and WW3 moved back from late 20th century to mid 21st century.
But who knows, could the Romulans inadvertently move something forward.
Just pointing out that any & all of these dates may have slipped due to temporal incursions in the Prime timeline by Romulans and others.
Temporal War leaves its artifacts in terms of non critical deviations - the river of the Prime timeline is very resilient. They key events will happen give or take a few decades.
Lowest rate by whom?
We shouldn’t let brigading fans who just can’t bear the idea of a musical episode spoil it for the rest of us.
When there’s a weird spike at the 1/10 on IMDb, it’s clear that it’s a campaign of gatekeepers not an assessment of any validity.
You know that is my own daft mess. Didn’t check the article date last week when it arrived fresh and new in my feed with 1 day old stamp.
Thanks for the catch, and hey perhaps there’s some Shatner fans that missed this when it was released.
I’ve recently become aware of mulesing, an appalling practice used on Merino sheep in Australia and NZ due to a specific fly problem. The problem is that most merino wool is from those countries.
Also, most fabric generically labeled ‘wool’ is mostly merino from mulesinged sheep.
Ethics conscious knitters, crocheters and weavers are aware, and merino yarns certified as mulesing-free are on the market now.
Knowing country of origin and wool type is another reliable way to avoid endorsing this practice, but again most manufactured clothing or even fabrics will not give the necessary information.
Fantastic! Welcome to the franchise fandom family - large, argumentative but still fam.
Also, this is one of the nicest, least toxic, places to talk to other fans.
