Spoilers Season 3 episode names!

[Jadeb]

I understand your concern, but I am of the belief that a lot of Season 2's issues came from arc problems which probably happened due to Berg/Harberts being fired midway through. My own personal guess is they felt like they had to pulp their plan for the arc because they didn't want to have to pay them for the remainder of the season, which led to everything being awkwardly bent to fit into the new "Control" idea.

Of course, they also oversaw the awful season one. Maybe the second half of season two was rewritten because someone decided it was bad. I don’t assume what we got was worse than their original plan.

The second half of season two was weak, but I suspect the things that made it weak — the absurd stakes, the OTT CGI, the witless wrapup in the finale — are now just part of the formula for this iteration of Trek. So I’m less inclined to the charitable view that production problems are chiefly to blame, and less optimistic the show will suddenly find its feet in season three.

There are episode titles and writer information for 4 more episodes:

I am guessing the "Terra Firma" 2 parter is a set up for the Section 31 series since the story is by S31 showrunners Boey and Erika.

Shame not to see Ted Sullivan's name in there. I always liked his contributions in the first two seasons.

It'll be interesting to see what the season looks like with a completely stable writing staff though.

IIRC there are still three episodes left, so maybe he's writing one of those?

I noticed that too. According to his twitter page he is now working on a show called Riverdale.

But James Duff has a story credit. This is the writer that Kurtzman added in second season to help him with running the writers room. He later moved to Picard.

Yeah, it looks like there's a few fresh writers this year. I think I counted three that I'd never seen before.

Hardly surprising, to be honest. Akiva Goldsman seems completely absent so far, likely due to him basically showrunning both Picard and Strange New Worlds. With Section 31, Boey and Erika will probably be busy too, so you gotta fill those gaps with new talent somehow.

There should 2 more episodes, including the season finale. Terra Firma is a two parter.

He left a long time ago. In fact, I didn’t see him so much talking about Trek around the time the two showrunners were let go, and he’d previously been very vocal before that. Wouldn’t be surprised if he left around then.

 

[Tuskin38]

likely due to him basically showrunning both Picard and Strange New Worlds.

He isn't a showrunner on either though.

I would 100% give my left nut for a synthwave style soundtrack of stuff like this for season 3:

I know I am late to ask, but why the left and not the right? Is the right nicer?

 

[The Wormhole]

I know I am late to ask, but why the left and not the right? Is the right nicer?

The left nut tends to be more sensitive to pain. I honestly don't know why.

I'm pretty sure it's widely believed the left nut is larger as well. Though in reality apparently the right is usually bigger than the left, though the left hangs lower.

The full saying is "I'd give my right eye and my left nut." Most people have a dominant right eye, and saying "left nut" instead of "right nut" gives the saying a better flow.

Wow, this conversation went places.

Trek BBS is always at its finest when it's educational.

Is that why most Borg have their left eye replaced?

 

[BillJ]

"Unification III"

Oh. Yay?

 

[Borgminister]

What if you're left handed?
