On another note, I hope they put out a good Blu Ray box set like they did with Lower Decks. As of right now, you have to buy season 1 in 2 $20 sets, while season 2 is just one set.
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Prodigy' Season 3 Passed On By Netflix; Seasons 1-2 To Leave Soon 18 hours ago:
Rest in peace.
You have brought even more dishonor to your house, Paramount.
Although Prodigy got the equivalent of 4 seasons of Lower Decks.
Honestly, I feel like it showed the value of longer seasons - I felt like we had plenty of time to both develop the plot and get episodic.
While those executive geezers don’t give a darn about animation, seeing Prodigy and Lower Decks makes me really think a 50 minute episode TNG/DS9/VOY format animated series with 15-20 episodes a season could be genius, especially if it looked something like Arcane and was somewhat realistic in some aspects but with stylizations to avoid uncanny valley. You could get more time for character development with less labor concerns than an actual shoot, create more interesting aliens while spending less on VFX, and emulate a classic aesthetic without it looking ridiculous.

This is simultaneously a post-modern masterpiece and the most disgusting, atrocious thing I have ever seen.

- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green 3 weeks ago:
I hope we can yeat Saru in somewhere else - at least the occasional appearance on STA. Let’s hope that Robert Picardo claiming “he’ll be deeper” means he’ll be 99% comic relief like when he said he’d be “more than comic relief” in Prodigy, meaning the show will be a banger.
Either that or throw him through a portal to another era and call it temporal causality, although I guess the only currently running show they could throw him in is SNW, which wouldn’t make sense for obvious seasons. Now if Prodigy got its (unfortunately improbable) season 3 and he somehow managed to appear and they made a good plot out of it, I might not mind.

I have to agree that First Contact uniform is top-tier.
Also, guy misdated the Romulan supernova.

The planet had previously industrialized and since de-industrialized by choice.
- Comment on Robert Picardo On How The Doctor Is “Deeper” In ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ 4 weeks ago:
I do have to agree. The setting may be the best part of later seasons of DISCO, even if they (in my personal opinion) frequently squandered it.
Like, I felt like they didn’t need to make up the DMA - they had practically seasons worth of material written for them just from the inherent realities of the setting.
- Comment on Robert Picardo On How The Doctor Is “Deeper” In ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ 4 weeks ago:
I take this with a grain of salt, in part because of this past headline: Robert Picardo Says The Doctor Isn’t Just Comic Relief In ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Season 2
Which isn’t to say I hated him in Prodigy. Rather, I wonder if by “deeper”, it means he’ll be absolutely ridiculous and the writing won’t be all dark and brooding on this show.
- Comment on Robert Picardo Confirms It's Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor In Starfleet Academy 5 weeks ago:
Glorious use of sarcasm.
In terms of writing, they really captured him well on Prodigy, though he was almost entirely a comic relief character.
Looks-wise, he definitely triggered the uncanny valley and was one of the worse aesthetic adaptations of a legacy character in that show. In general, there are some unintentionally terrifying officers on that show.
I do have to say that was one thing Lower Decks did well - when they brought on a legacy character, they were aesthetically recognizable, but never a caricature.

This is probably the strongest counter so far, unless they’ve somehow found or are working on a way to do it without severely borking the marine biosphere.

Say what you will about Disco, but honestly, Rainn Wilson Harry Mudd is better than the orignal.
- Comment on Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie 5 weeks ago:
I still enjoyed Those Old Scientists when I hadn’t yet watched Lower Decks, granted, I had watched TNG already and so just enjoyed it as TNG-era characters goofing around in the 23rd century.
In fact, after having watched Lower Decks, I don’t necessarily like how Boimler and Mariner are written in this episode - they feel a bit like their basic archetypes than the developed characters they were in the series.

The other good thing about Chain of Command is it gives important context for DS9 without having to stare at scrolling text.

Well, this is from Cast Your Pod to the Wind, which is full of rejects from The Else - granted some of them are really darn good rejects like “Brain Problem Situation”.
I think my taste is also skewed towards the weird semi-experimental tracks in general - I am a big “If Day for Winnipeg”.
- Comment on Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California? 5 weeks ago:
I could understand a few across the city, but I’d say 50 miles of parkland around a city is a little excessive.
You could also probably at least partially pull off “lush” with more native species, which they don’t seem to do.
Additionally, I imagine there’s some people still enjoying desert off-roading or a newer equivalent in the 23rd and 24th century (probably with regulations, of course).
Granted, I’m a bit biased, considering I live in the Southwest and am a fan of some of the more beautiful deserts. I do hate the climate change-induced annual shattering of heat records, though. Never fun when it’s 110s out, especially when you have to walk to classes… No

I think it is in Menageries, but I’ll have to check.
- Comment on Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California? 5 weeks ago:
I agree weather controls exist - in fact, they’d probably be needed to solve extreme heat and drought in the city.
However, I don’t think terraforming Mojave is the same thing as terraforming a planet - most planets they colonize that aren’t already suitable for human life don’t have a native ecosystem to begin with. What the pilot seems to depict is the elimination of an existing ecosystem and many habitats, which I feel doesn’t seem very Trek-esque. While they would modify the local environment to improve living conditions, I don’t think they would be inclined to do this much environmental damage.

I agree he’s not the best Captain Kirk, but I did enjoy his performance in the time travel episode (might have just been the writing and La’an performance like you said, though).
Now what we need is more George Samuel leaving crumbs. I mean, the dude’s only got 8 years or so live… Give our boy some screen time!

Part of me is like, “Seriously! Mire multiverse stuff! Can we take a break, please?”, while the other half of me is like, “If it’s as good as LD or PRO multiverse stuff, I’ll take it!”
I am a bit worried about the fourth wall breaking stuff, but I wonder if they’re doing a Benny Russell “dreamer and the dream”-type thing, which might be fun.
The Clue episode looks fun. The trailer makes it look like this season is 75% quasi-holodeck episodes, which would be quite funny but is probably not the cases.
