    News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

    A matter of taste of course but Trek has always been quite talky. Mixed with space battles of course. But I would certainly disagree that Trek is about action. Discovery and Academy have already done that. A matter of taste again with Matalas. Beyer knows her stuff without devolving into...

    News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

    Star Trek is about exploration. Combining Trek and The West Wing would make for a VERY talky series. Trek is about action, not diplomats endlessly walking and talking down hallways. Legacy has Seven of Nine and the Enterprise-G. It's closer to traditional Trek than United would ever be...

    They're Not Even Hiding Their Racism... - Reacting To Conservatives FURIOUS At "Black Doctor Who" by Mr TARDIS

    I think the Potter vibe also comes from having Merlin be studying magic. But it was the trend of the time in some ways, a bit like how we got Robin of Sherwood that was just a little dash of the then recent Excalibur in the eighties. If RoS was the New Romantic Robin Hood, then Merlin was the...

    News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

    ENTERPRISE was cancelled mainly because UPN told CBS/Paramount that they wanted to go in a different direction and didn't want the show anymore. The CEO of CBS wasn't a Trek/Sci-Fi fan and pretty much indicated that it was stupid waste of money anyway, so he cut it. The fact that the ratings...

    Xbox gone crazy. 9000 people sacked

    And again, Microsoft's messaging seems to be all over the place. This latest one seems to be a direct response to people cancelling their Gamepass subscriptions due to the price hike. Because Surprise surprise, they now want to do away with the multiplayer paywall entirely! Winds of change...

    They're Not Even Hiding Their Racism... - Reacting To Conservatives FURIOUS At "Black Doctor Who" by Mr TARDIS

    ...series for Christmas (the UK edition was considerably cheaper than the North American one). This was in 2022, 10 years after the show's cancellation. I haven't looked back since. I've watched the TV series multiple times, searched out every blooper I can find on YT, watched a lot of fan...

    Babylon 5

    "Learning Curve"... it was an interesting glimpse into how Rangers are trained. Terror is a weapon that Minbari are not afraid to wield, and by extension they learn how to face it well. I agree, though, that it felt a bit out of place. "The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father"... always...

    Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

    The problem stems mostly from the fact that Disney wants something to show off at their investors meetings, so they put pressure on Lucasfilm or Marvel to announce new projects which aren't ready for the public to know about. When Lucasfilm realizes these projects are doomed, they wisely abandon...

    Babylon 5

    Yeah, there were a few episodes like that didn't really fit in as well with the others. I was guessing some was due to setting up season 4 as a possible finale if they didn't get season 5, and then not having as many ideas when they did get it. They definitely did seem to be setting up things...

    Babylon 5

    ...felt very strange to be right up against the end of the series—since the first had little to do with the main story, and the second was obviously setting up the Telepath War or something leading into it that would be elaborated on in Crusade (but then mostly wasn’t, because of the cancellation).

    Taylor Sheridan Leaving Paramount For NBC

    It's going to go on into eternity. SVU has been on for SO long, the original L&O was cancelled and rebooted during SVU's run! :eek:

    There's a lot more than that to being a producer. What damage has it done? As far as I can tell Star Wars is still doing fine. I'd say it casts a negative light on the director/directors, since they're typically the ones who are at fault. There's still plenty of the directors styles in the...

    Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

    You do? Have you worked in Hollywood? Cancelling a project is going to do a lot less damage to the company than fully project a disaster. It's better to fire a director than either leave in a director who is difficult to work with or who has not been delivering a project. Big studio franchise...

    I'm with Rich Evans. ST:TMP is the best Star Trek movie. Here's my brief review.

    I first have to preface my review with a little background on the time, as I remember seeing this film in theaters. I had always had a soft spot for The Motion Picture, flawed as it was upon release. Then the Director's Cut came out on DVD in 2001 and I loved how it restored so much footage...

    News? Stories from Dubious Sources

    FF's budget was $200 million. It did $521 million at the box office. It barely broke even. It underperformed. They cancelled three MCU films that were due to be released in 2026-2027 earlier this year. Deadpool and Wolverine (2024) was the last MCU film to gross over $1 billion.

    News? Stories from Dubious Sources

    If the new management decides to get hands-on, or if ratings are bad, this is a possibility. I'd be happier if the show turns out to be both good and successful, but we'll have to wait and see. They will not do that Archer series. I can't imagine the people currently running Trek will want to...

    Some believe the MCU's current state of decline is a result of them stubbornly sticking to projects they announced that they really should have walked away from.
