Did I miss the actual Protostar announcement?
- Comment on 9 Years Later, 'Star Trek: Discovery's Co-Creator Just Revealed a Wild Alternate Cast 1 month ago:
Thanks for bringing this here VS.
Saw Tatosky’s thread on Mastodon. It really gives a much better sense of how ‘real’ the preproduction was under Fuller.
Lots of expenditure clearly but badly managed.
Tamara Deverell talked about having little to spend when she took over after the pilot because the initial sets were built on the designs Fuller signed off on.
No engineering but a bay to hand load missiles! Which she repurposed to Stamets’ spore lab.
- Comment on Michelle Yeoh Told Us The Perfect Story To Prove That She’s Committed To Playing Star Trek: Section 31’s Philippa Georgiou For A Long Time 2 months ago:
My thoughts exactly.
It would be great if they could bring Kim & Lippoldt back as showrunners/EPs and get someone else to direct it.
- Comment on Watch: Anson Mount’s Audition Tape For Captain Lorca On ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ 4 months ago:
He didn’t necessarily know that Pike would be an option. He likely didn’t know that Lorca would be an MU character.
- Comment on Interview: Mary Chieffo On Returning To Star Trek For A New Flavor Of Klingon In ‘Lower Decks’ 4 months ago:
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.
- Comment on I'm a reasonably well educated human living on Earth. What's to stop me from replicating starship parts until I can make my own Starfleet? 5 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Nacelle Reveals First Eight Star Trek Action Figures at NYCC... With Plenty of Character Surprises! 5 months ago:
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.
- Comment on I'm a reasonably well educated human living on Earth. What's to stop me from replicating starship parts until I can make my own Starfleet? 5 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Interview: Jonathan Del Arco Talks “Borg Spin-Off” That Became ‘Star Trek: Picard’ And Hugh’s Surprise Death 6 months ago:
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.
