Indeed. Some seem to believe he was on the level of day players and was subject to the kind of dismissive treatment joked about upthread. Clearly, he was not on that level. It was not about affordability, which is a myth spread about Filmation for far too long (especially when many of their...

Apparently, its reputation as an undesirable posting was a running joke. https://searchtrek.org/search/all/starbase%2080/0

11001001: Now that’s more like it! Another example of how much more comfortable this series is when it stops trying to be what it’s not and embraces its “Next Generation-ness.” We kick off with the first reuse of the amazing Star Trek III space dock. I totally get it, the series was giving us...

I still take it as "Hey, surely this monotheistic Christian thing won't be such a big deal in the 23rd century." Not that VM was a practicing polytheist or anything. (There is not the same emphasis on any other monotheistic religions, is there?) Chapter 5 Peter is in trouble. This is told from...

...in the government, get paid more, hold more important jobs and the like? Have sexism apparent and a few snide but easy to pass off as "a joke"? “A man’s place is in the home” sort of thing rather than this “do as you are bidden” borderline slavery track that these stories tend to take. A...

I don't think Berman gave TOS much thought, so "hate" probably isn't accurate. Most likely he was just following Gene's edict of keeping TOS at a distance, Though given the number of TOS references in the Berman era, it was ignored when needed.

He wouldn't have had to fight that hard since they were literally showing the Yellow Peril Klingons on screen.

To do that RIck Berman would have to first acknowledge the smooth headed Klingons on TOS and I think he hated TOS and their is no way he would show that on TNG. I bet you Behr had to fight just to get in the joke 'We don't talk about it to outsiders" on DS9 in the Tribble 25th Anniversary episode.

They have all the Taylor Sheridan shows, The Good Fight, Evil, Yellowjackets, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness etc., which are all successful and/or critically acclaimed and I'm sure several of them do better than Star Trek which really isn't that big anymore outside the fandom bubble.

...the lone exception.) Star Trek is Paramount+'s bread and butter. It is literally a make or break property for them. Without Trek, I'm pretty sure the service would fold. (Even the announcement video for the new Spaceballs movie jokes about it being an entire streaming service devoted to Star...

And that peanut allergy.

Only thing consistently good on the Internet is Trekbbs,RedLetterMedia,Al Jokes,Feral Historian,Jeremy Jahns, Matt Baume and Patrick H Willems.

...I NEVER thought it possible to make the Pakleds... THE PAKLEDS... an actual danger! And LOWER DECKS somehow managed to turn possibly the biggest joke of a species in the entire franchise (certainly from the Berman era, at the very least) into a legitimate threat. These writers are absolutely...

...claim how great the boy is. The story presents a universe of wonder and exploration that holds up really well, even the Traveler and the obvious jokes that youtube channels put out. The best part is how the far-off space was meticulously animated and put on 35mm film, discovered and cleaned...

...OMG! Reed Richards is a certain mid tier favoured search filter on pornhub. 4 possibilities. 1. This is an accidental coincidence. 2. This is an unintentional subliminal manifestation of the author's id. 3. This is a hilarious joke that no one got. 4. This is a hilarious joke that...

They are both Executive Producers. When Redford says, "George, the whole world is waiting. Make a move." (I always took that as a joke that GRRM could never finish his other series).

...the life of their second officers and Data quips "Fortunately, Starfleet has no such rules involving our second officers." Now you could argue that the statement can be a general statement, but it's heavily implied that the Joke data is making is that he's grateful they don't have that rule.

Star Trek has never done that though. Star Trek is not the Godfather, it is not Shakespeare, hell it isn't even always as progressive as MASH or Night Court. It has always done the update thing, from TMP, to TNG, to DS9 to First Contact, and onwards. It isn't a period piece but a speculative...

anyhow, aside from the obesity joke, I'll be honest, I don't feel optimistic about this show. I think that the concept of "updated for modern audiences" is a fallacy that is used for too often.... one of the things that makes good content is that it appeals to multiple demographics, multiple...

no they don't, the 'explanation' was not the joke per se, it was for the gasping and pearl clutching that followed... :-)
