"Prodigal Daughter" (DS9) - liked this one more than I remembered. It's biggest sin is probably being a merely decent episode coming on the heels of a classic ("It's Only a Paper Moon"). "The 37's" (VGR) - feels much more like a season finale than a premiere. I wish UPN had not held those...

Well, wouldn't the SNW abbreviation be for written purposes? "Pee-Eye-See" is more of a mouthful than "Picard", for example, but the PIC abbreviation is still used in writing. Looking forward to this. I really like those three, especially Anson Mount. We didn't get to see enough of Rebecca...

When I heard the title, the two things I though of were that and this:

Just heard the news this morning, sad to hear it. Like so many in this thread, she was an early part of my Trek reading experience (I can't remember if I read the TVH novelization before I read Diane Carey's Final Frontier, but I think TVH may have been first for me). I re-read (or, in the...

This is the first announcement of the Kurtzman era that I'm not excited about. I don't feel like Section 31 has been handled very well outside of Deep Space Nine. I'll give it a shot, though. As a limited run (6-8 episode miniseries kind of thing) it could work. I'm not sure if I can see it...

In context, Doug Jones was talking about each of the seven signals starting a new storyline. It sounds like we will have seven mini-arcs, one around each signal. Each will have “some sort of completion” so that they could be enjoyed on their own, but the overarching plot connecting all seven...

You have to be a subscriber but you don’t have to have the $10 version. I’m on the $6 version and I was able to watch.

I often think of my favorite Milk and Cheese strip: An odd effect of fandom is that in some cases, the same passion that fuels fandom causes an extremist reaction against things fans don't like. I was having a discussion about this in my local comic shop a couple of months ago: No one will...

Yes, Gruenwald was the editor of Avengers when Roger Stern was the writer. When Gruenwald starting developing these rules, Roger Stern wrote a story in which Kang the Conqueror seeks to eliminate his divergent selves that were created each time he time travelled. It's in Avengers #s 267-269...

Back in the ‘80s, Mark Gruenwald established rules for time travel in the Marvel Universe based on that idea. The theory was that every time a time travel incident occurred, it created two timelines- one where the time travel occurred and one where it didn’t. Those rules haven’t been enforced...

When hyperbole is used to present an opposing viewpoint that has no relation to what is actually being presented, it seems to me the effect is to belittle the other viewpoint without having to actually engage it. I stand by my previous comment, and really have nothing further to add.

Of course not. I have said many times that we should assume there were many other excellent captains. That doesn't mean Kirk wasn't the best. I'll bring back a baseball analogy. If I say Willie Mays was the best ballplayer of the 50's and 60's, that does not mean that Aaron, Mantle and...

That's a retrospective view. At the time Star Trek was created, there was no thought given to the possibility of spinoffs, the effort was to create one successful show. And my argument is, if you are trying to establish an adventure show that you want to be a success, you aren't going to...

I certainly agree that it would be a mistake to think that Kirk was the only important captain in Starfleet or that the Enterprise was the only important ship in his time (although I can't recall anyone making that particular argument). Conversely, while other captains may have had careers as...

Thanks, I had not seen that.

I fully expect it to happen. But unless I missed something, Paramount has not announced anything. Clarkson's hiring has been reported, and some of the actors have commented on it publicly, but Paramount still hasn't officially said anything that I've seen.

Agreed. I'd say I'm about 90% certain we're going to get this movie, but realistically, what do we have so far? A director, a script in some form (presumably), some initial meetings with a few of the actors, and perhaps some preliminary design work depending on what Simon Pegg meant by "in...

I wish I could remember where (tried to find it, but couldn't) but somewhere along the line I saw or read an interview with Alexander Siddig where he mentioned that early on Avery Brooks tried to take him under his wing, but by the end of the show they weren't as close. I don't know that that...

Let's keep in mind that these projects are in development, so if someone finds a concept unappealing, it's not necessarily going to get made. If every Star Trek project that went into development had actually materialized, I'd be planning a God Thing/Planet of Titans/Phase II marathon for this...

This news put a smile on my face. My kids love Little Golden Books, much like I did when I was that age. My daughter, at 7, has mostly aged out of them (she'll occasionally pick one of the old classics to read at bedtime, but she usually wants something that skews older), but my son (4)...
