My USS Vancouver Parliament-class model is here, just waiting to be joined by the Cerritos.
It sounds like many people are hoping to get this one.

It’s got to be tough to be the VP at Paramount responsible for brand management of one of its two largest streaming franchises, and be told to manage the fallout of a business decision that flies directly in the face of both the Star Trek brand strategy and firm’s streaming strategy.
Half of Paramount+ demand is derived from the Trek and Yellowstone franchises. Their streaming strategy, as pitched to investors, is ‘franchises, faces and fandoms.’
Yet, they cancel and write-off one of only two successful digital animated originals from one of the key franchises, helmed by a legacy captain who remains one of the most beloved in a key demographic?
It’s a early for Curzon Dax.
The recent Georgiou tie-in novel paired her up with Emory. Not sure which host Jadzia mentioned had paired up with the young McCoy…
This one could be surprising. We haven’t really actually got that much of a heads up about what’s coming.
We see a lot of production stills with M’Benga and some with Chappell. We’re not seeing Ortegas so it’s not seeming likely to be our promised ‘Moretegas’ feature episode - except that it’s the only remaining one other than the musical before the season finale.
However Klingons may be a tie back to the war for all three officers established to be veterans - Ortegas as well as Chappell and M’Benga. This may be an A-B-C plot episode with flashbacks.
It will good to get some more insight into the Klingon War. In Discovery it was the launching point of the first season, but much of it was offscreen with other Starfleet ships, while Discovery was in the Mirror Universe and Enterprise was left on a deep space exploratory mission.
Fantastic!
We got the omnibus edition of the IDW 2022 Lower Decks comic series. It was hilarious and truly reflected the show.
Knowing it’s the same writing and art team for the new interactive graphic novel makes it an automatic preorder.
A 70mm theatre release, no matter how limited, is an encouraging sign in terms of Paramount’s continuing commitment to this show.
There were a number of ‘event episode’ adaptations around that time, including the ‘Day of Honor’ ones for Voyager.
It does seem to be a specific niche of Treklit. I always saw it as a bit of a marketing stunt to draw in established fang to become new readers of the tie-in books.
I generally prefer original stories, and welcomed the Relaunch novelverse taking legacy characters and new ones forward.
I thought this was cool when I saw it elsewhere.
Thank for sharing an accessible link.
A pin on a bag would seem less like a political campaign statement. Thanks for sharing.
That’s the way I see it. The sets with images of characters etc just don’t seem like something I would ever wear.
This collection turns out to be mainly insignia pins based on costumes which seems like a more viable niche. Our kids would have loved to have had these when they were tweens. I spent an entire con with one of them looking for naught at every vendor for a Discovery-style communicator pin.
Not sure why signal boosting graphics on clothes feels different. I’m happy to wear my t-shirts and hoodies, and our family has many independently-designed licensed ones from teepublic.
I suspect scheduling is the reason that we’re seeing new officers on the bridge.
Oyin Oladego who plays Owosekun is the lead in a Nigerian-Canadian indie film. Here’s the Hollywood Reporter story. She’s previously also been managing around a couple of seasons as main cast on a Canadian tweens show called Endlings as well theatre work in Toronto.
Most of the Canadian actors in the Discovery bridge crew have other Canadian-based work. Ronnie Rowe Jr who had played Bryce (Communications) is a lead on the BET+/CBC historical drama ‘The Porter’ which is why he’s been replaced by Lt. Christopher.
Ok, I’m putting it out there that I just don’t get the appeal of Fansets products.
This has been one kind of tie-in merchandising that is a bit of a head shaker. I know there are certain countries in Europe where collecting fandom pins is a huge thing. Who actually wears badges and pins in North America however unless they are usable in cosplay?
(Meanwhile my spouse and I are trying to figure out how to score a Cerritos in the Master Replicas sale this week, and are ignoring the lack of remaining display space in our home.)
Yes, American productions in Canada have US writers and actors under WGA and SAG-AFTRA contracts.
Local Canadian actors belong to ACTRA, the Canadian guild. The production and art creatives are in another union IATSE.
DGC is a sister organization to the Directors Guild of America (DGA). Their accredited members can work in either country. DGC is likely now sanctioning the work since DGA has settled in the United States.
