    Doh! I stand corrected. I keep forgetting UPN effectively premiered ST: V as a midseason replacement (of sorts) in January 1995.

    It wouldn't even remotely surprise me. I'm tired of their Info Wars wannabe nonsense. It's one thing to talk about why you don't like a show, if you honestly don't like it and aren't just telling followers what they want to hear. It's something else entirely to spin conspiracy theories and pass them off as the truth. It's misinformation at best and slander at worst.

    That's a pretty fantastic video. I have no idea who that guy is and generally care for that style of humor, but not only is it savage towards Doomcrock's Dredge and the like, but it really presents the Disco debate as the perfect microcosm of everything wrong with social media culture - the consequences of which I think are quickly becoming an existential problem.

    In my list of "recommended" YouTube Videos, it looks like FOX News Infowars Brietbart Midnight's Edge already has a video up about "Star Trek Picard" being in "trouble". I have to get them out of my list of recommended videos.

    I finally figured out how to block YouTube channels. ME and Ax were the first to go.

    You sure? I've been clicking "not interested > tell us why > not interested in this channel" but youtube keeps deciding I want them anyway. Is there another way?

    I did it using the phone app so I'm not 100% sure where the buttons are on a desktop, but I had to click onto their channel page the press the 3 dots on the top-right. "Block user" was the second option.

    So Netflix confirmed they are carrying the new Picard show. I guess they changed their mind. How much is Amazon paying for it?

    It was from an article which appears to have made an incorrect assumption. Supposedly the deal with Netflix entitles them to Discovery and any spin offs (so, Section 31 presumably), but The Picard Show is a Next Gen spin-off/sequel and thus doesn't automatically land on Netflix.

    That's if you can trust anything you read on the internet.

    It's gonna get really weird and confusing when Short Treks expands to encompass the other series'. We'll have 15-minutes minisodes of one Trek series on it's rival's streaming service.

    Supergirl/Flash cross overs at the start? I believe they were on different networks?

    Good lord, imagine holding a grudge against a television network so 24/7 that you print up a huge-ass poster reading GREEDBS to hang in your apartment.

    What we need is someone to do a parody, "Midnight's Edge Through the Years", as if they'd been around since 1966 to give their "thoughts" on Star Trek.

    But not before Future's End or Enterprise and the alternate WWII... to say nothing of Edith Keeler...

    We're in an alternate Universe ourselves. There's one where TOS lasted five seasons! But people hate it because the fifth season was really awful. It even contains a clip show!

    It was the final episode, too. In this timeline, ENT ran for 7 seasons and had the best finale of all Star Treks.

    Also, TNG, DS9 and VGR all got canceled after the third season.

    Five seasons of TOS, seven of ENT, and three of the rest? Tell me more, I haven't heard the down side yet.
