Got a scam text claiming to be from Amazon saying the seller canceled my purchase and the refund isn't processing correctly. Click on this link to fix it.
I wonder how many people fall for this. Funny part is at the top I can see how many numbers this was sent to. You'd think that would be a...
Two big things.
1. It's quite possible that ratings / financing aren't the primary factor with the cancellation.
Skydance seem really focused on getting Trek back in a theatrical window. If they wish to tell Kirk era stories (or Kirk related stories), they might not wish to dilute that...
BBC wants to keep making DW, but can't afford it on their own. They need a funding partner, and in this day of cinematic TV, you need a couple million per episode. Unless they go back to broadcast TV with commercial breaks for first run (and I don't think commercials pay enough for DW anymore at...
Enterprise was not a commercial success, as others have pointed out, and it ended twenty years ago. Quantum Leap was a bigger deal, but that ended more than thirty years ago. A new Star Trek can't just rely on people old enough to have watched those shows. (I'm 62, I can say that.) (Though it...
This is why I have a hard time believing that Colbert was canceled for low ratings. We have them churning out NCIS and its needless spinoffs, but Colbert suddenly gets dropped?
The reason Enterprise being cancelled after season 4 had very little, if anything, to do with the acting or the setting. It had to do with the WRITING.
I would think that if that were the case, then the Quantum Leap sequel series would have been a huge success. But it wasn't, and got cancelled. And that was a network show that people didn't need to pay for.
He was an actor who absolutely sucked in ENT, a show that hardly anybody watched and was prematurely cancelled. So naturally, Skydance should make a new show about him. :rolleyes:
No they’re not. Production was supposed to start for that in December 2024. It’s now August 2025 and absolutely...
Amazon are crazy how they split orders with multiple items. One of my old orders had a usb cable which came after the other thing I ordered, but the hilarious thing was the box was ten times bigger than the cable package
Amazon split my order into two separate deliveries. Tried to save them some money by canceling the second order which hadn't even been shipped yet but nope, they wouldn't allow it. So some Amazon driver is going to come by my home to drop off... one candy bar.
I realize the driver has other...
I'd feel bad for Strange New Worlds, though.
But it does kind of make Lower Decks a fascinating part of Trek canon that the semi-parody is up there with TNG.
"Soo, one of your last actions was to cancel a show that won A HUGO, the freaking Oscars of the SF community, because why?"
Is a conversation I'd love to hear
Tale as old as time. So many shows cancelled and forgotten before their time. I think it's even worse in the streaming world because it feels like you have to come out of the gates running and there is no time for a slow burn.
When Kirk and Spock are "allowed" to enter by the then-unquantified menace in "Wink of an Eye," the camera really lingers on the ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING sign for a moment. I love it, particularly since no one calls it that verbally.
Nero believes that the Federation blew up his world, not that it didn't blow up.
As for the evacuation being cancelled, that didn't inspire Nero to blow up Vulcan, it was Spock being near the destroyed Sun.
The retcons don't really affect Nero's motivations.
I got rid of Cable back in 2001 after They cancelled ENTERPRISE, and never went back.
Had Netflix from the time of DVD's (1997) till They bumped the streaming price up over $10/month.
Tried Disney+ till that also became too pricey for my budget.
I've done P+ a few times just to see Trek shows...
