The comic book industry titan had been battling health complications for several years.

[email protected] CTV SciFi is still an add-on channel, which is unfortunate for freeloaders like me (I use an antenna which probably makes me a crusty old fart.)
Trump administration:
@hopesdead The original theatrical release is canonical.
I think Goldsman's actual statement is pretty vague - he could easily mean a spinoff with the non-TOS cast. Just redress the sets and you're off to the races.
He could also mean a movie, or...some third thing.
And in any case, he's moving on with his career.
It's cool that they're excited about possibilities, but I remain very skeptical that there's any actual traction there.

SNW Season 3 Early Review Round-Up
Heck, it was pretty much Goldsman's pitch:
In the first pitch document that we sent to the network… we opened with a question asking, “What if we just did Star Trek?” And they said, “Okay.” Every day in the writers’ room, we try to imagine how would Gene Roddenberry and his team make The Original Series if they were doing it today?

SNW Season 3 Early Review Round-Up
I posted last month on this topic but I too forgot how many bangers are in Season 2 especially, they just tend to get overshadowed by the later seasons.
@ValueSubtracted For everybody's information, it was S01E19 Duet.
A good episode indeed.
@ValueSubtracted I, y'know, clicked on the link and it didn't tell me anything.
@ValueSubtracted FFS will somebody just come straight up and tell us which episode we are talking about?
I think the final Kelpien design was the better choice. Sci-fi prosthetics are always awful, and while Saru turned out fairly decent, I doubt this would have had a similar outcome:
Today is June 1st, the start of Pride Month. This scene from "Blood Oath" weighs heavily on my mind.
If generic engineering becomes that easy, humanity will become nothing but massive, shambling genitals. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic.
Nobody would be able to make it out when the show was filmed and released.
You sure about that?
I can make that out fro 1.5m away, on a screen a quarter of the CRT I'd have been watching from a similar distance.
but it wasn't intended for the audience.
The book is literally highlighted and on display?
One Bad Mother? In Defense of Star Trek's Lwaxana Troi
Many fans complain about Lwaxana Troi's StarTrek episodes but there were always those of us who loved her. Yesterday, Matt Baume shared his explanation of his own love for this character brought to life by the wonderful Majel Barrett.
Matt is a queer journalist. Much of his work focuses on how queer people influenced popular culture. His latest book is Hi Honey, I’m Homo.
(And Matt has no idea who I am or that I'm sharing his video on Threadiverse. 😹)
David wrote many, many Trek novels and comics, including the New Frontier series.
Ya look at the cast photo, everyone looks genuinely happy. I'm rooting for them to succeed.
Got a awesome birthday present from a co-worker.
It is a Displate poster of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D senior crew. This was unexpected. I only see this person in passing for an hour before I leave (they work overnight). Trekkies really are great people.
Also the card they got is of Kirk with stickers inside.
If you want to see a better quality image of the artwork (the poster is metal), here is a link to the Displate website.
Visited Vasquez Rocks
Sharing my photo of me at Vasquez Rocks that I mentioned in a different post.
Looks much smaller in person. Didn’t get a chance to get upclose. I was cutting it close on time to make it to Universal Studios Hollywood for Fan Fest Nights (it was a 2 hour drive in stop and go traffic for me).
But um, yay! I got to see the Famous Rock (the formation featured throughout Trek). There is another formation called Witch’s Hat (for looking like a witch’s hat).
Star Trek: Red Alert at Universal: Fan Fest Nights
So I wanted to start off by saying, yesterday was my birthday, the reason I chose to go on the second to last night of Fan Fest Nights. Earlier in the day I drove out to Vasquez Rocks (approximately 40 miles from Universal Studios). It was such an amazing night.
For those unaware, Fan Fest Nights is a new (first year) after hours event at Universal Studios Hollywood celebrating fandoms. Specific to the event, not preexisting were: Star Trek, Dungeon & Dragons, Back to the Future (the backlot had the entire Hilly Valley town square built for the event), One Piece, and Jujutsu Kaisen. This event included themed walking attractions (aka shows), characters (photo ops), food, drinks, and merchandise.
For Star Trek we got Red Alert a walking attractions that emulated the attraction from Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas years ago. Red Alert set in 2403, where you travel from Spaceport Los Angeles to Athan Prime to visit the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (featuring the actual bridg
New Star Trek Series In-Development
As this is an unannounced Star Trek series, not many details are currently known. Our first indication of this new series comes from the USPTO – United States Patent and Trademark Office. The filing details clearly list “a multimedia series featuring animation distributed via various platforms”. Additionally, another source is a casting website. This site is specifically requesting young actors and actresses for a YouTube Short Series. So it’s possible this could air on the Nick Jr. YouTube channel.
It seems Star Trek: Starfleet Scouts will be something like Disney+ and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures. This Star Wars series originally started as six shorts on YouTube before it gained a full season order. It has been an excellent success for Disney+, with two full 20+ episode seasons released and a third in production.
Based on casting information, the new animated series will focus on three 8-9-year-old friends as they go
Deep Space Nine season 2 appreciation post
Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:
- "Necessary Evil"
- "Rules of Acquisition"
- "The Alternate"
- "Armageddon Game"
- "Whispers"
- "Paradise"
- "Shadowplay"
All bangers!
Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"
I cooked some food cubes.
The recipe comes from The Star Trek Cookbook by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel. My first time but I’m going to make more. This batch has orange extract. I will need to increase the amount of extract.
UPDATE: I made blue lemon this time.

Not « Star Trek Star Trek » but found this Picard scene in Robot Chicken funny nonetheless
Picard dreaming. I now sorta feel like he talks in his sleep.
If Neelix had been truthful about rescuing Kes and they simply beamed her out instead would the caretaker probe still have been attacked by the Kazon?
gizmodo.com Seska Was Voyager's Perfect, Messy Foil
30 years on from the revelation of her betrayal in 'State of Flux,' Seska remains one of Star Trek: Voyager's most interesting villains.
[O]ne thing defines [Seska] in contrast to the Cardassians we’d been regularly seeing on Star Trek at that moment in time: she’s just kind of an absolute hot mess.
...
But it’s kind of what makes Seska work as a character: despite all this, villainy or otherwise, nothing ever quite clicks for her. It’s a great mirror to uphold against Janeway’s decision to have the crew take the long way home in the first place, the idea that, if they did ultimately just go Seska’s route and exploit their advantageous power in an unknown quadrant, it would doom them.

@[email protected] Help with Klingon
Are there any experts in Klingon around? I would love to get a translation of the chant heard at Minnesota Wild hockey games (many teams use similar chants) "Let's go Wild". Basically meaning "Go team!" or "Victory for the Minnesota Wild!"). Any ideas would be fantastic.

Has Anyone Else Noticed Jellico's Face Constantly Changes in Prodigy?
I was looking at references of both TNG and Prodigy Jellico to try to make an LD-style Jellico, when I found how they styled his face varied a lot between episodes - I count about 4 significant variants.
For reference, here is TNG Jellico:
This was his first Prodigy appearance in S1 E15 Masquerade:
Definitely a bit yikes, but I also slightly dig the "old man who will bite your hand off if you get within one mile of him" look.
They totally changed his face for his second appearance 4 episodes later, in S1 E19 Supernova Pt 1:

"Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience?
In a TrekCulture interview a week ago, Rob Kazinsky, who plays Zeph in Section 31, talked about his reaction to the S13 movie.
He revealed one interesting point from behind the scenes about why the movie was made:
When I got this job, I was like, "Ugh, Section 31 movie, why are they doing a Section 31 movie? It's gonna be hated from the get-go. No ones gonna want to watch a Section 31 movie. We're doing a TV-budget movie. This isn't going to be what people want..." And I spoke to Alex [Kurtzman] and I spoke to Olatunde [Osunsanmi] and they explained to me that Star Trek is dying. And I don't know if people know that. You know, I was talking about Star Trek at my gym where I fight. You know, I'm a boxer where I fight with a lot of kids - you know, I don't fight them but train them - none of them knew what Star Trek was. Could you imagine that?
He went on to say that Star Trek had never had a base as big as Harry Potter or Star

Star Trek:Section 31 Premiere Reaction (ft Emily Inkpen) and Q&A with Michelle Yeoh and Rob Kazinsky
I didn't even know there was a premiere in London on Wednesday, but there we have it.
Highlights: the person who saw the movie described it as "fun," "silly," and "Guardians of the Galaxy meets Fifth Element meets Mission: Impossible".
There's also a full, recorded-from-the-audience Q&A with Michelle Yeoh and Robert Kazinsky.
Star Trek is like a warm blanket for me.
A big disclaimer at the top here that I am going to be discussing familial death.
Hello to everyone reading this. Not sure why I am greeting you, the reader. Last week my maternal grandfather passed away. He was in hospice care with bone cancer and overall poor health. The lead up to being admitted into hospice was a sudden and unexpected turn. During my grandfather’s final days, my family set up a computer at the foot of his bed so we could watch shows with him. Regardless if he was awake or not I took time by his side and watched Enterprise. As an important side note, I have always lived with my grandparents (I’m Filipino; this is a cultural thing).
In the week since my grandfather’s passing, I have been rewatching Enterprise. When the show first broadcast in 2001, I was 10-years-old. I grew up watching TNG, seeing First Contact and Insurrection in theaters and going on The Klingon Encounter attraction at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas. For me, my grandfather was the
