He didn’t necessarily know that Pike would be an option. He likely didn’t know that Lorca would be an MU character.
This seems to be a non sequitur. OP is asking about where to live not where to find employment.
There are visas under the free trade agreement with the US and Mexico that enable movement of employees between the three countries. These have been in place since the 1990s.
She brought such positive energy to fans during her time on Discover.
Her Twitter was full of enthusiasm. CBS was so much less limiting of the actors’ social media engagement. Paramount really hasn’t done well by limiting engagement to the EPs.
It’s unfortunate there hasn’t been opportunity for her appear in Strange New Worlds.
It won the only series Emmy ever for the franchise.
It sounds like he was in premed when he met his wife, but then went on a different track while she became a physician.
I have been working up to making one of the Pokemon in this book.
Thanks for sharing - I am all the more motivated now!
Controlled technology and not easily built from scratch even by Starfleet engineers.
The Relaunch novelverse expanded the concept and importance of industrial replicators. When Voyager returned to the Delta Quadrant, she led an small ‘Full Circle’ fleet that included a large engineering ship that did have industrial replicators large enough to reconstruct ships when severely damaged.
Lowere Decks and Prodigy have brought industrial replicators into onscreen canon.
Prodigy gave the Protostar prototype ship an industrial replicator large enough to construct shuttles. Lower Decks has shown the Cerritos and other ships tasked with delivering and bringing online very large industrial replicators on planets seeking Federation support.
It feels like the chose them to fill in the gaps in the collections of fans across every show and the movies - but also to profile legacy characters featured in new productions.
Rachel Garrett is surely there because of S31 and Jellico is more popular than ever after Prodigy.
Most structural starship components would require large industrial replicators.
These seem to always be centrally located and powered.
What someone can do with a small home model would be quite different.
I saw him at a con in the late 80s.
By way of concession, when responding not so enthusiastically to questions from the audience about the shenanigans Shatner and Nimoy got up to in order to blow off steam during long shooting days, Doohan said that since he’d been in real combat in WW2, he had a different approach to work and not a lot in common with them.
TNG movies are tricky in that they do embed a few spoilers.
If your wife doesn’t get into DS9, I’d consider hopping over to Voyager. It’s uneven throughout its run, but has many ‘best of trope’ episodes, and has proved to be the most successful entry series to the franchise of all of them.
He doesn’t want to hear because he is known for blurting things out to media and fans…
If they’re in primary school, start them off on Odd Squad.
It’s a madcap Canadian TVO Kids (TV Ontario) public broadcaster educational math show that was made with partner funding from PBS in the United States, and is now available online in many other countries.
The creators and writers clearly knew and referenced Star Trek.
‘The Trouble with Centigurps’ ’ episode is a straight up Tribble Trouble homage with skip counting.
Here’s a season one Odd Squad trailer.
Thanks for the heads up.
I can see that there might be a need to ensure some consultation in a sub, such as a notice period. Especially so for users that might wish to delete their post and comment history before a sub goes NSFW or private, but this is just another step.
As if being an early adopter in selling all their content to train LLMs wasn’t enough to justify avoiding the place.
Here’s another take.
We know that everything was reshaped to flatter and entice Patrick Stewart to come back and play Picard.
He kept refusing and keep on insisting on Picard’s life should be a reflection of his own.
But the suits at ViacomCBS (and later Paramount) put priority on greenlighting anything they could get with Picard as a character.
So, whatever initial concepts with and without Picard were all sacrificed in the end in order to indulge Stewart enough to play the role.
It’s absurd. Our kids ended up playing Star Trek with Playmobil’s space and ‘Future Planet’ planetary exploration lines. (I doubt these even still exist.)
When the Star Trek line finally arrived it was only TOS.
All of which begs the question “How is it that Jeff Goldblum has not yet appeared in the Star Trek franchise”
Last day of Star Trek Day sale on STEAM - includes Star Trek Online
We picked up some good deals from the promotion this week.
Last day for Star Trek Day sale on Steam (Sept 8-15)
Several Star Trek licensed games are on Steam, now at a significantly discounted price for the annual Star Trek Day celebration.
These include the MMP Star Trek Online, but also single player games Star Trek Bridge Crew and Star Trek Resurgence (a choose your own path role play game).
We’d waited until Resurgence came to Steam, because we did want to buy it from Epic, but decided to be even more patient and wait for a sale so we could get it for our teens as well. I’ve been playing in parallel with one of our teens and debating the impacts of our very different choices.
I have had Bridge Crew since 2022, but we got copies for the teens yesterday. One is into it. It requires running an Ubisoft account synched to Steam which can be annoying, but otherwise G2G.
Confirmed! - CTV has the Prodigy season 2 licence
Having reached my exasperation on the total lack of information from Bell Media on a Canadian release, I asked @[email protected] if he or the Hagemans could share any information. Here is his reply on Mastodon.
It’s great to have EPs who will engage with us.
I’m still gearing up my recipes for a Star Trek Prodigy Soirée for the premiere!
In case you haven’t seen this, CBS entertainment sponsored a social media influencer to develop watch party ideas for the Prodigy Season 1 finale Supernova Soirée .
I’ve been experimenting and building on some of these ideas for the premiere of season two. One of Canada’s favourite ice cream brands has this interesting suggestion for A triple-berry yogurt sorbet float punch that seems very Star Trek Prodigy themed.

'Ivory Tower', likely aka 'Starfleet Academy' preproduction rumoured to start in March
The Directors Guild of Canada (Ontario) ‘Hot List’ compilation of Ontario-based production information has been updated with a new CBS Studios show ‘Ivory Tower’ to begin Accounting & Art Department preproduction in March.
Friends don't let friends try. . .
While all TAS episodes had some kind of moral lesson, S1 E10 was an outright criticism of substance use.
M’Ress and Scotty, unwittingly exposed, end up enamoured then incensed with one another. One is never sure how different that is from a Caitian’s usual romantic style.
Chapel comes off badly in this one. As Spock puts it “A few moments of love, paid for with several hours of hatred.” It’s all the more poignant given SNW’s deepening of their backstory.
James McKinnon confirms creative differences likely a factor in Kelvin 4 failure to start production in 2022
James MacKinnon has doing one more feature film as the last thing on his Star Trek bucket list.
As much as most of us have long had any remaining interest in a fourth Kelvin movie long exhausted by the endless repetition of hype and failure, there does seem to be more confirmation of significant creative differences on the script that was in development in 2022.
James MacKinnon, longtime makeup designer, shared some context during an interview on his work on Picard and future ambitions. He explained that he was hired by Matt Shankman in 2022 to work on preproduction but was fired after a week when the work shut down.
> “We were supposed to shoot in the middle of [2022] and it was supposed to come out the following year [2023], but I think a script rewrite went in a different direction.”
This aligns with previous comments from Zoe Saldaña that creative issues around the script were a factor in the movie not going ahead.

I have realized that I need a new editing tool that will let me use panels with more than 6 frames.
A private message with a recommendation would be appreciated sincerely.
Tired of 'Car Talk' with Gowron? Here's the podcast c/risa really needs...
Anyone interested?
I can see so much potential for guidance from a telepathic Aenar engineer & an avianoid counsellor.
Paramount+ confirms series order for 'Starfleet Academy'
The all-new original series from CBS Studios will follow the adventures of a new class of Starfleet cadets!
While there was an announcement shortly before the WGA strike, and Alex Kurtzman confirmed the writers room is back up and at work during an NYCC panel, Paramount+ is moving forward on promotional information about the forthcoming new ‘Starfleet Academy’ show.
Will be keeping an eye out for information about preproduction design work starting up in Ontario.
What kind of weird really engages and trends with Trek fans?
My contribution to the fediverse’ #MakeYourOwnMoopsyMonth challenge.
Be gentle, I’m a novice meme-creator.
Kevin + Moopsy meme challenge - because why not?
It’s October, and Trek’s new adorable horror is being unfairly usurped in trendiness by a character who appeared in all of two TOS episodes (even if the grimness of his personal backstory rivals La’an Noonian-Singh’s).
So, Moopsy + Kevin memes. . . I dare you.
Yeoh's S31 movie preproduction complete?
We know from Kurtzman’s messaging at NYCC recently that Michelle Yeoh put her Academy Award star power towards ensue that her Section 31 ‘movie event’ moves forward on Paramount+.
Checking in on the Director’s Guild of Canada Ontario round up of information for its members (Hot List), there’s been an interesting update.
While ‘Dovercourt’ (working title alias for the direct to streaming movie) still has a bold ‘POSTPONED’ due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, it’s moved from the ‘Preproduction stage’ section of the list to ‘Production.’
What does this suggest?
It would seem that the key preproduction production design work in Toronto has been able to be completed since the WGA strike ended.
Like SNW, the crews in Toronto are basically ready to go into production once the actors’ strike is settled. Logistically, it’s not entirely clear that both could shoot at the same time as they share some of the same crews, but it is encouraging.
Question - Star Trek Explorer Presents short story collections from Titan Bookstores - are they simply compilations from the magazines or new content?
I’ve been enjoying the very short stories by Treklit authors in the recent issues of Titanbooks Star Trek Explorer magazine.
I see that they’re promoting anthologies of short stories, with a new third one due to be released soon. However, it’s not clear if these are just compilations of previously published stories from the magazine, new content or a mix of both.
Anyone have the earlier releases?
NYCC Starfleet Academy confirmation
StarfleetAcademy ‘will be funny’ according to Alex Kurtzman.
He’s also confirmed at the NYCC panel today that the writer’s room is back at work after the WGA strike.
Given the heavier #thriller background (Absentia) of one showrunner Gaia Violo, and youth supernatural CV (TheMagicians; NancyDrew) of Noga Landau the other, sounds as though Tawny Newsome is there to bring some lightness and fun.
I’m really looking forward to seeing more in the 32nd century StarTrek.
I’m also pleading 🙏 let David Cronenberg’s Kovich be involved.
I would love so much to have some of The Magicians mysterious vibe with so true humour mixed in. Glad to know that they’re going for something less earnest than the tone of Discovery for this show, it didn’t seem to be working in the Discovery episode with Tilly and the cadets.

Another spoken word album is coming from Bill Shatner
William Shatner has announced a new spoken word album, ‘BILL,’ with guest features from Joe Jonas, Brad Paisley, and more.
Not sure we needed another album from Shatner but you have to admire his indefatigable creativity.
This one will feature Brad Paisley and Joe Jonas.
