Shockingly, they were bred to be easier to handle and fit a can shape.
Imagine what the original varieties looked like.
Cook in metric and use a scale!
One gets the feeling that Paramount senior management have been paying more attention to review-bombed scores on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb etc. and YouTubers than to actual viewing minutes and audience size.
While Nielsen stats are only for the United States, it’s clear that Paramount has been doing vastly better by Discovery than any of the naysayers have claimed.
Here’s the key issue and principle buried deep at the bottom of the article.
She said a main area of discussion at the confab is how globally-minded digital companies had “really revolutionized our industries for a lot of good reasons” and added: “No one is saying to get Facebook or Google out of Canada — Canadians love and appreciate these services.”
Tait said Canadian broadcasters and services were required to pay taxes and services and invest in Canadian content, meaning companies as powerful as Alphabet and Meta would simply be paying into a existing system. “We all have requirements regarding local news so that there is a provision in a country of only 40 million to support our own domestic industry,” she said. “We would ask Facebook to be held responsible in the way we treat our own companies.”
It’s one of the most senior NCO roles, and one that interacts regularly with a captain. It shouldn’t have been portrayed as a secretary.
Roddenberry was told he couldn’t have both an alien (Spock) and a woman as a first officer.
And people wonder why the Titan-A’s holodeck Ten Forward program ran when the ship was power rationed…Or, how many space anomalies does it take before Starfleet mandates failsafes?

Thanks again to all who joined in the creative fun on Canvas. It’s been great getting to cooperate with you in this midsummer enthusiasm.
Our efforts have stood up fairly well, despite a touch of final hours encroachment by an enthusiastically growing flag of Ireland and what seems to be an extension of the Trans flag. I guess a wordmark in violet was too great a temptation for them to resist interacting with.
Edited: TIL the colours of the Trans flag. My bad for not knowing them already
This is coming out of a presentation at Star Trek Las Vegas by the Hagemans.
TrekMovie.com is quoting them as follows:
Right now, there are active talks happening and I’m being 100% honest with you, we are 99% confident that there will be a new home for our show.
It’s geared to families but not children only.
It’s fantastic. Many fans will argue it’s the best of the current group of new shows.
It is intended for people with no experience of Star Trek though so it starts out feeling more like another franchise in the Pilot. By the 6th episode it’s unapologetically very Star Trek.
The proposed regulations haven’t even been published for consultation yet.
Not a mod, but just tossing out there that there are a few genre sites that do not make any effort to meet basic journalistic norms.
It makes sense, when this disregard of minimal journalistic standards is an established fact, through a pattern of articles and analysis pieces, for mods to have an automatic policy of removing posts amplifying their content. Promoting unsubstantiated rumour and gossip without any credible sources doesn’t meet the minimum standards for example. The mods shouldn’t be under obligation to verify the lack of journalistic standards in every single piece of content from the source once the pattern is established.
This particular site and one other definitely fall into the category.
If this was another Trek-related subreddit, there would be a pile on from regular users telling everyone to ignore it and not to give them clicks.
TL;DR: to me, articles from sites that make no effort to meet basic journalistic standards shouldn’t be considered meeting community guidelines.
Star Trek and the Sheridan Yellowstone franchise accounted for about half of Paramount+ demand in 2022.
There is no streamer without those two.
On Prodigy, my emotional reaction is that same deep pit in the stomach that I felt as a kid when I realized TAS season two was only 6 episodes.
Intellectually, it seems like a very shortsighted call. Paramount+ doesn’t have a lot of new animated content and it’s a growing area of demand. In fact, Prodigy’s demand numbers were better in 2022 than any other Paramount+ animated original except Lower Decks. Low audience numbers on Nickelodeon say more about the falling linear demand than about the show.
Besides Prodigy was always an investment in the franchise for the long term, to build audiences and provide a gateway for kids not just now but in future. Our own kids’ gateway into Trek was the TAS DVD set. I bet Prodigy will have a steady pull with preteens for years to come.
Yes, this. It’s setting a new bar. Fantastic design, well executed.
SNW seems to have hit a gestalt of not just production and costume design but also lighting and cinematography. Like TOS and early colour television, it’s making the most of the new UHD technology. Everything has come together and is reinforcing the impact.
Discovery was reaching for this in the 32nd century design, and even with the Enterprise bridge as originally built for Discovery season two. The principal ship sets from the first season were an ongoing constraint though. Costume designer a gersha Phillips found her initial attempts to put the Discovery crew into 32nd century uniforms did not stand out against the ship’s dark bridge.
It will be interesting to see if they can achieve something similar in the 32nd century with the new Starfleet Academy show.
