I’m not sure if someone was trying to figure out ways to increase their profitability to avoid getting bought out, or if they were trying to increase their value to make buying them out a more attractive deal, or what… but there was definitely a whole lot of “wtf are they thinking?” moves at Paramount, just as there were at HBO a year or so ago.

They were definitely flinging options at walls to try to get some kind of effect. But they were doing it with no apparent rhyme nor reason, at least to us out here.

I suspect we’ll see another round of readjustments if/when Skydance gets their merger handled. I suspect there’s people over there just chomping at the bit to get their hands deep in some Trek productions.

I couldn’t locate this specific one on Amazon or Paramount, but fortunately i had a local copy :D

They were too far out for their tractor beam, because they missed due to the jump inaccuracy. The Breen dropped out of warp much closer to it, and were able to snag it with theirs.

Hey, birthday twin!!!

I’d guess Zora didn’t want to run the DOTs to clean things up anymore

that… looks like it was a 480p source, playing on a 720 display.

Yeah, it might be just slightly higher quality than the broadcasts originally were, but not much.

On rewatch, I wonder if he was on the way to suggesting someone like Book when he was interrupted

Agree with this, it seemed like he was using Book for context, not for a real suggestion. Saru respects what Booker has done for everyone, but I don’t think he’s a real big fan of the guy, and certainly doesn’t think he should be the XO of a Federation ship.

I could be wrong, though

I’m told that’s Bigfoot with a hat on.

I think a large number of people have gone back to the places they came from… :| :| :|

I’m not sure if there is or not, but it seems like there should be a way to link a post that links to it on whatever instance of Lemmy we’re on instead of hard linking to the main… hmmm

wouldn’t the Romulans entering the neutral zone also be an act of war, though? that’s kinda the point of a neutral zone – neither side can enter.

They were looking for clues to the attacks on the ships, playing the part of party girls to get in places they probably normally wouldn’t be able to. They went full into it when they got near T’Lyn

So… what’s up with the big bad ship of destruction? Any thoughts?

In this one, it looked an awful lot like they got dusted, to me.

Collectively, each of the races in Star Trek have their own thing that they do. Individually, some lean more into it than others, but that’s the way they go, pretty much.

" … delinquents, pirates, slave traders." (DSC s1e15, although the same perception about Orions is held throughout Star Trek).

It seems that Orion culture internally looks down on those who want to be in the sciences, but it’s Tendi’s grandmother that shows the galaxy that they are not all just pirates. Some several years after DSC S1, in SNW S2.

hmmm. i have an old LG smart TV (webOS v1), I wonder if it would be possible to sideload the Paramount app to it, somehow, and see if it would work… I think it’s currently flagged as requiring webOS v3+

the erasure of Prodigy is working apparently :(

/s

Seriously, thanks for your great attention to detail!

No, the message is that if you continue being an asshole, you don’t actually get what you want, and everyone dies in the end.

I don’t think that was supposed to be Kirk, it was credit as just “Captain”.
