Quark's has received a stay of execution until summer significant bugs with the private communities can be fixed in a future Lemmy update.
As much as I'd prefer to keep discussion of Quark's going private restricted to the original thread, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that your concerns have been the most compelling ones expressed so far. I think we're coming at the community from slightly different angles, but you have been heard!
The full announcement says Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson, and Kacey Rohl will be repping S31.
The Academy portion just lists Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau for now. I think a surprise guest isn't out of the question, but it's probably best to keep expectations low.
I'd actually love to see even some photos of the giant set they're reportedly building...
Nice to see that "Lower Decks" is being given some panel time in the face of its impending doom.
Indeed, Trek seems to do very well in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and Germany. After that it drops off pretty quickly.
While I certainly wouldn't want every show to be like that, I would absolutely not call it "bad".
It was...transcendent.
"Riverdale" is an odd comparison - like it or hate it, it was one of the most high-concept "teen shows" of all time. Absolutely bonkers.
I doubt it - "Academy" was officially announced on May 30, 2023 (and was rumoured to be in development dating back to 2018). "Prodigy" was cancelled on June 23, 2023.
I'll grant that the dates are pretty close together, but I think in a perfect world the two shows would run together, with "Prodigy" targeting the tween crowd, and "Academy" skewing a bit older.
I think the problem is really Paramount+.
This, I completely agree with.
The aging fanbase has been an issue that's been highlighted recently by Jonathan Frakes, among others.
Ah yes, the eternal sin of "trying to attract new viewers."
Why can't they continue catering to the original, immortal fanbase? That's just good business!
Good to know - frustrating, but hopefully we'll get it sorted out.
And this is the issue that I have with the outcome of the story. After all they did to "restore the timeline," we still have a past in which Gwyn shouldn't exist, because her father never goes back in time to enslave Tars Lamora and become the Diviner.
While I'm sure there's a way to logic it away, it seems to undercut the entire season, and what they were trying to accomplish.
