Add security, are you insane? It's one person with a sword, how can you possibly expect to handle that with more security?
With a single holographic security officer that's immune to stabbing!
I'm glad we can get Tig Notaro on any basis at all, although it would be good to have her character's absences explained in the context of the plot in progress.
Starfleet uniforms must start to include a full chain mail hauberk painted in yellow, red, or blue. Medical personnel will just be expected to die. Unless wearing armor as a small deference to officer security offends the Truth Nuns, in which case they are to stand silently, arms behind their back and chins upraised to present appropriate targets.
Reno kind of annoys me, actually.
I mean, she may be good at engineering, and also good at ruining the mood of pretty much everybody she meets, but I can't say I'd lose any sleep if she never appeared again.
As for Gray: No, they didn't transplant the symbiont. Only Gray's consciousness.

This was a good episode....it was a point better than the previous two I think, but it's hard for me to give it an 8/10 (last two were 7/10).
This has been an interesting season so far. It feels more "even" than S1 and S2 (thus far, that is), but it also feels safer and less fresh. I don't sense that there will be any major objectionable stuff going on in S4...nor do I sense that I'll have any number of 9/10 or 10/10 episodes. It feels kind of like DSC is settling into TNG S5/S6 territory....it's safe and comfy, but not particularly bold or risky as a result. So, you'll get more evenness between episodes, but you'll also never achieve the greatness of some of those S1 and S2 individual episodes either.
It's disappointing for me personally, because I'll take a crap episode every now and then if it means I'll also get an "Into the Forest I Go" or an "If Memory Serves." I'd much rather have highs and lows than the same consistent 7/10 performance.
Lots of Trek left to go, though!!!

one can be passionate without being obnoxious towards people who hold marginally different views (well, even more than marginally, but let’s start with that!).
Sounds fun.
or you add a tracker and diminish security.
probably just busy with the new engines.
I mean, I would hope so, otherwise my friends and I would never have gotten along about Star Trek since I loved TOS and they loved TNG.
CBS / Paramount wouldn't allow it.
Rule / Guideline #5:
The fan production must be a real “fan” production, i.e., creators, actors and all other participants must be amateurs, cannot be compensated for their services, and cannot be currently or previously employed on any Star Trek series, films, production of DVDs or with any of CBS or Paramount Pictures’licensees.
If a bunch of people play Picard, Sisko, Burnham, etc. for free, it should work though...?
They just sacrifice Red Shirts out of sheer incompetence.
There are countless methods.
I prefer the Indiana Jones method.
You know StarFleet has stun settings on their phasers; and with enough Phaser fire, even the Nun couldn't block or dodge all of those shots.

GuideLine / Rule #3
The content in the fan production must be original, not reproductions, recreations or clips from any Star Trek production. If non-Star Trek third party content is used, all necessary permissions for any third party content should be obtained in writing.
I don't think CBS / Paramount would allow you to use their characters.
It's best that you make original characters.
You can mention original characters. Two of my first four films reference Captain Sulu and the Excelsior. We just didn't show graphics of either nor attempt to recreate them.
Name drops are fine for the most part. Just don't push your luck.

it’s guidelines, not rules. Basically all of them have been broken over and over, this one in particular with people playing the TOS or TNG or VOY characters especially. Sure, better to abide with them if possible, but it’s not automatic you’ll be sued if you don’t.
Does it work if new actors play the old parts ?
I already started researching actors for my Kirk
Not sure, ask JackOverFull.
He seems to know that those rules have been repeatedly broken.
So ::shrugs::.
I just gave you the website that contains their rules.
Who knows how CBS | Paramount would enforce it.
Or you could just weave the uniforms out of carbon nanotubes.
Wouldn't protect against energy weapons, but bladed weapons and shrapnel would be pretty much out of luck unless they hit a person in their head/neck.
as said (even by people at CBS when asked), those are guidelines, not rules.
And just look up a few fan films produced since when they were introduced and you’ll realize of many of those ignores at least some of the guidelines.
So far CBS has sued exactly ONE fan production and sent a cease & desist to another, both cases happened before the guidelines were published.
Regarding @TimeIsAPredator question, if you want to follow the guidelines you can’t have Kirk, it doesn’t matter who plays him. He is of course one of the most popular characters in fan films, with dozens of people having played him and dozens more about to play him in future fan films.
Don't worry I was only joking ( except about 1 bit )
Mostly, CBS gets pissy about folks who actually try to make MONEY off of Their Trek toys.
That's really what the AXANAR lawsuit was mainly about, it was Peters lawyers who brought up all the Trek minutiae and caused CBS to soundly reject that argument to protect their property rights.
If your fan film fits generally within the guidelines and you're not trying to make a killing monetary wise (except to cover minimal expenditures), They pretty much look the other way for the rest.

Yep, they don't care if you mention James T. Kirk or Jean-Luc Picard and rattle off canonical facts about those men. They just care if you try to make money off the production.
