    Future of Paramount+ among merger talks

    A new bid - and the situation remains in flux https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/19/business/edgar-bronfman-jr-paramount-skydance.html?unlocked_article_code=1.EU4.SqSv.AjI_UADIW4wl&smid=url-share

    News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+

    Again, it just seems silly, rather than having a space to digest news individually. Easier to find things - everything gets lost in this years old mega thread!

    News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+

    Yeah it seems bizarre not to have a forum. This is coming. It has the largest trek set ever. It's not getting vanished before it airs. Why resist having a forum? Seems silly.

    Reading Marathon: The Typhon Pact... and Beyond!

    Very good points @Christopher

    Reading Marathon: The Typhon Pact... and Beyond!

    Another break, not what I had hoped for :( But what a wonderful deconstruction of why DRG's books post Destiny just didn't work, in general. I also wish he had not run away from here after Rough Beasts and the legitimate & bruising criticism he got; I worry that that reaction led him in many...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x03 - "Jinaal"

    I guess there are viewership reasons why it is being cancelled :( (I must admit I'm one of the many who have stopped watching - I struggled with seasons 1, 2 and 3, and that was that - I'm sorry!)

    News WB/Paramount merger talks

    A shame you weren't into treklit, as *that* forum was very alive throughout that period - and ironically less so since the TV shows' return.

    Spoilers Section 31 General Discussion Thread

    Nautilus finished shooting last summer, and was cut by Disney before going to AMC.

    A STITCH IN TIME Read By Garak Himself...

    On being a patriot, it's worth rereading or listening to A Stitch in Time @Lynx - it's clear by the end of the novel he isn the "patriot" you present him as; indeed he's very critical of that patriotism, a man embracing hebatian spiritualism, a man who had come to respect the Bajorans, a man...

    DS9: A Stitch in Time audio book petition

    I joined Audible to get it - so happy. I love his Odo, it's such a lovely version of him Now can @Una McCormack get Robinson to read The Never-Ending Sacrifice? Or her other books? It'd be wonderful!

    A STITCH IN TIME Read By Garak Himself...

    It's really worth it :) You can read some really cute threads on it in the treklit section, including the original. McCormack (like many trek authors and editors) is a member of the BBS too From 2008, https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/the-never-ending-sacrifice.66130/ From 2009...

    A STITCH IN TIME Read By Garak Himself...

    After this wonderful book, I beg you all to read Una McCormack's wonderful Never-Ending Sacrifice (as well as her Crimson Shadow & Enigma Tales) You can read a very detailed review of TNS at tor.com, and why - alongside Robinson's work's review - it's among the best pieces of treklit (or indeed...

    DS9: A Stitch in Time audio book petition

    Omg the extract is soooo nostalgic https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/A-Stitch-in-Time-Audiobook/B0C8WGLRPQ? Robinson's voice!

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x10 - "Hegemony"

    Nice review by Alan Sepinwall, with an intriguing comparison with Atlanta. It finishes with this little flourish: For those of you who do not know him, Sepinwall is one of the most significant TV critics in the business, and it's lovely to see him advocate so much for this show.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x10 - "Hegemony"

    It was decent, but unsurprising. This just didn't click as a strong finale, it felt perfunctory in many ways - each story beat wasn't surprising (and once a man in red appeared, of course it would be Scotty). In terms of a lead character encountering a moment of self-doubt, for some reason I...

    History of licenced maps?

    Thank you everyone, this is really interesting. I also wondered about the mini map in Balance of Terror and the map/cartographic image Colonel West shows in TUC; did the latter relate to other publications and how did the former become incorporated in future publications? The same with...

    History of licenced maps?

    Thanks for that @Therin of Andor That's ok if the rpg ones aren't canon compatible Therein - i guess in that sense they are still licenced maps - and we were curious about them. There isn't really a history of trek cartography (including canonical and non canonical entries). I wondered if...

    History of licenced maps?

    Hi all, a friend asked me about if there were many Star Trek maps. I just wanted to ask about the history of licenced maps and canonical maps, and if anyone has ever collected this information (and pictures) in one place? Memory Beta wasn't so helpful here (the information possibly is too...

    writers' strike and Trek

    Rather interesting article in the NYT today, worth reading, comparing TV writing as moving away from artisanal master craftsperson creation to a production line blue collar approach, like cars before and after the Ford factory or other examples. (Non-paywall at https://archive.ph/SCVLp)

    Is SNW too much of an ensemble show?

    Honestly half dozen is a tremendous understatement! The producers had of course scores of episodes a season to do that, but honestly DS9 has such extensive, successful secondary characters.
