    It was canon the day it was announced.

    I wish we could put canon in a cannon and launch it into the Sun.

    The only canon I care about is the Photonic Cannon.

    Because they are not you?

    Then they should say that. Anglophone does not equal human

    5/10 is awfully high for something you didn't like.

    Well that's insulting the intelligence of those who like it.

    I haven’t read the entire thread (GOD it feels so good to say that!), but the ship has cetacean ops...wonder if we’ll finally get to see it?

    Sorry, I goofed. In an animated TV series, you will most often use the initial voice recording as a basis for the animatic. Plenty of opportunity for actor improv in those first sessions.

    However, there's no real point when the "animation is done." It's a long process and there are usually several recording sessions. At times, an actor make come in for a session and record pieces of multiple episodes at a time.

    Lots or recording is done, things are changed and often a final record is done to better match the final animated product.

    All this is to say, it's highly unlikely that you would have a sent-in-stone version of the record and only then decide to change the appearance (in this case, race) of a character radically and not have the opportunity to change the dialogue to reflect it.

    Designs are often done before the scripts are even complete, as the entire machinery of the show needs to be moving forward. So you'd already know the character was a trill long before your actors took to the mic.

    I can understand not liking the show, I'm not exactly the #1 fan of either Discovery or Picard. What I object to is you acting like you're high up on the mountain looking down at us simple folks. I imagine most folks who like it and dislike it are within throwing range of each other where intellect is concerned.

    You basically called those who like the show idiots, how could you not see that would be insulting?

    Really? You're the one that put yourself up on the mountain, no one made you make the '8 year old' comment. You're the one that made the 'if I were less intelligent' comment. You knew you were slamming people who liked it with those comments. If you didn't know, then you aren't as intelligent as you think you are.

    I bet you didn't. By what you said, you didn't. You didn't say anything about eight year olds or you being that much more intelligent than her. :lol:

    Then don't watch it and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    My dream is just a room with a tank full of dolphins in uniforms swimming around being dolphins. They don't do anything other than what a dolphin already does, but they have ranks from inexplicable reasons.

    Not at all, I just dislike internet warriors. People who need to puff up their own self-esteem through belittling people on the internet. "I don't like this. Look how smart I am!!!" is a common pattern for you.

    I doubt it.
