This. It's just a rumor at this point. There's far from an official announcement that a Picard mini-series will happen, let alone that Stewart is involved.
-
That's all rumor at this point. The only thing that can be said for certain is that CBS has locked up Kurtzman to a production deal extension, and that multiple new series will be produced.
-
I certainly won't argue that point, or the notion that Hollywood has currently lost its mind (more so than normal, LOL). My only point was that, not unlike Fuller's departure, B&H's departure seems to have more than one reason. You can overcome budgetary mismanagement. You can overcome HR complaints (especially if, like…
-
I think the directorial claims for Kurtzman are referring to his directorial duties on the season two premiere. The article might have miscommunicated this point, or the writer may have been confused. And, I wouldn't take HR issues lightly. If HR is involved in any serious way (with multiple complaints), that's a big deal.…
-
Interesting... part of me is fine with this, and part of me is disappointed. I think B&H botched the first season, but then again, it was a tall order for them to take over another's vision. Not really. TrekMovie's article also points to a volatile writer's room, and rumors of HR complaints. This also extends to Akiva…

The pack won't be live (thus, in the C-Store) until June 5th. You should see "Gamma Pack" at the top of your window, with "News" and "Forum."

I would be really nice if all of the Jem'Hadar ships had access to the new Jem'Hadar ship interior. I just opened a T6 JHHEC on my JH Tactical Test Dummy, and much to my dismay, this gorgeous interior was NOT available to this ship. When I hopped over to check a copy of my main FED Tac, who has a Strike Ship... again, no…

Jem'Hadar tailor window on DS9 (once you go into Garak's Shop and click on the tailor button) has no background. Just plain white space, with tailor UI on top. Also, does the Jem'Hadar have a faction hub in the GQ?
-
Given that we've had four factions already, but didn't get any new TOS-era ships after the Connie and Atlas were released... there was never a guarantee that there would be Jem'Hadar ships released for the rest of this game's life. At least I never have thought that. They also do not say they're not going to release more…
-
The new Promenade map is looking great, BUT... The rolling airlock doors use the wrong SFX, and it appears that they are the only ones that have SFX at this point. Obviously, it's still being tweaked, so the second part will most certainly change... but I'd love to see the proper SFX for the various doors and what not...…

Sweet!
-
I think it got better at the very end of the season, but like I shared in my thoughts... I found the adult characters EXTREMELY unlikeable at first. Mom Robinson was arrogant and overtly stubborn. Dad Robinson was aloof and not very intelligent. Don West was... trying too hard to be Han Solo, if Han Solo was cast from the…
-
Just finished the first season last night. My only experience with the franchise is about 15 seconds of the original series (no joke), and the movie with Joey from Friends, LOL. I thought it was pretty good! Further thoughts: All in all, an enjoyable watch. I will note, too, that it was nice to take in some sci-fi that I…
-
He kinda looks like Hunter, so I'm cool with it. I still say go Quinto or go without for Spock...
-
No, I know what a conflict of interest is. My point was, I think you're not using the phrase correctly. A conflict of interest is when a party engages in some sort of action, whereby they can (at least allegedly) gain some sort of advantage because of holding "interest" of some sort on both sides of the situation. A good…
-
I don't know what you mean by "conflict of interest." And, to be clear, CBS holds most of the cards with the Trek IP; Paramount only holds the film rights. Paramount had to seek a license from CBS to use the Trek IP, which is (at least partially) why they decided to do the separate universe. It is, in some respects, like…
-
If they are going to show Spock, then cast Quinto. He's the right age, he's the "blessed" heir to the role, he does a good job as Spock. If not him, then don't show him on screen. As for Pike, I'd love to see Bruce Greenwood, but I would get it if they went another direction. Prime Pike technically had two actors anyway (I…

https://trekmovie.com/2018/03/26/star-trek-discovery-showrunners-reveal-season-2-theme-plans-for-burnham-airiam-and-more/ I like the potential of this, but like I've said earlier, I'm concerned that this writing team won't be able to deliver... especially if they are using Season One as a proof-of-concept. I liked…
-
Part of me still thinks the Klinks look fine, if you just add hair. Aside from that, though... I think one way they could have gotten length out of the Klingon storyline was to embrace the time period in which the show was set. Have T'Kuvma's house look the most radical, have Klingons with hair, have Augment-Virus-riddled…
-
Nailhead, meet hammer. :smile: Everyone wants to cheer the final Burnham monologue, and how it "returns to Gene's vision," blah blah blah... but, I'm left still scratching my head. It just feels... off. Unsatisfying. And I can point to many things I liked, or think shows potential. Still, you could easily delete this…
-
Can't tell ya, don't know. My guess is that, even though Discovery's budget is significantly bigger, it's not unlimited. They probably pick and choose where to use the budget. Whether it is the revamped Connie, or the Mirror Flagship, or the dramatic zoom-in shots (the Earth-to-QonoS sequence, or the zoom-in to Paris at…
-
You also have got consider that production designers have more "toys" to play with. Budgets are bigger, resources are better, and we have more influences to draw from. And we, as consumers, have better screens to enjoy these works on, so it's not that surprising to see more detail added to the models. It's called progress,…

Data, in "In Theory," states that the 1701-D's viewports were made of transparent aluminum. Now, while that covers later Trek, we don't have directly-stated proof of its use for this purpose in the 23rd century... however, Scotty's reaction to the idea of using transparent aluminum in The Voyage Home strongly implies it's…
-
Except that "windows" in Trek are NOT MADE OF GLASS. Transparent Aluminum is a thing. You only assume it's a weak point, because of your current context as a 21st-century human that doesn't know what Transparent Aluminum really is.
-
Well, TNG literally had a window on the ceiling, so... Aside from that, I actually think this modern interpretation is more practical. It's NOT merely a window. It's NOT merely a viewscreen. It's both. It's a large piece of transparent aluminum, augmented by a sophisticated HUD system. And the reason why this wasn't…
-
Given Quinto's relationship to Nimoy before his death, I think he's the ONLY choice. :smile: However, I know everyone will not agree with that, and "Hollywood-be-Hollywood" may not allow it.
-
So, some final thoughts on the season as a whole... THE GOOD - THINGS I THINK WORKED* I think the visuals were quite good throughout the season. Some compared the first full trailer to SyFy-level of quality, but that did not translate once the show premiered. I think this sets the bar high for any forthcoming Star Wars…
-
Given that [the ship we see at the end] will (I believe) play a predominant role in, at least, the premiere...? I think the PTBs might take the chance to listen to fans, and find a roundabout way to place Saru in command.
-
I know the TrekYards boys obsess about such things, but that's hardly canonical proof. To be honest, I'd trust officially-licensed stuff (like Eaglemoss and STO) for a better idea, as they seem to have direct access to such information. And, again, I'm pretty sure there's a line of dialogue from this season that states…

Nice work, thanks. :smile:
