The original definition definitely made more sense as a name.
Tawny Newsome and Justin Simien developing new live-action Trek series

Have no idea what that means, but the one in question has been dancing on a paperthin tightrope for some time now and it was only a matter of time before it snapped from their own heavily weighted ignorance.
In the original GI JOE cartoon from the 80's, the Cobra pilots died in plane crashes after being shot down (When the series was syndicated in the US, they all ejected and parachuted to safety!
You're better off not knowing the Luve Stupis saga.Have no idea what that means, but the one in question has been dancing on a paperthin tightrope for some time now and it was only a matter of time before it snapped from their own heavily weighted ignorance.
Network shows survived all the way to the mid 2010's.
The way Hollywood is burning through cash to chase the Company+ dreams is not sustainable long term.
Apple spent $150M on Wolfs, Lucasfilm spent $150M for 8 episodes of The Acolyte, then there are the expensive graveyard of shows and movies on Netflix.
They could just spent a fraction of those budgets on network shows and got better ROI in the end.
Starblazers I found was interesting in that they used the actual main theme music (though with different lyrics) from the Japanese version. That was rare, especially when you get to the 90s and early 2000s where dubbing companies usually just made all new music. I'm looking at you Dragon Ball Z.
Sailor Moon was funny, because in the original Japanese version two of the characters were a couple, in the English Dub they turned them into cousins but they kept some of the scenes where the animation implied they were close.
In regards of weird condensed editing, that reminds me of the first English Digimon Movie, it was actually 3 different movies squished and edited together, adding stuff in the dubbing to connect them when IIRC they had little or no story connections in the original Japanese.
They're actually finally releasing all 3 movies as they were in Japanese on Blu-Ray this month. Most of the original English Dub cast is back for the new English dubs of the three movies as well.
When was the last time there was a successful space show on one of the networks? Hell, has there even been one which lasted more than one season since Enterprise ended? Besides The Orville, that is, as that may have aired on a network for its first two seasons but still followed the streaming production model in most other respects.
Space shows are not going to last on network television anymore.
That song is terrible.
Heh ... it must be something really dumb if one can't even find anything about it with Google.
If you really, really want to know, I would suggest doing a search on that term using the search button here on the TrekBBS. Don't say I didn't warn you.
This is what turns up when I do a Google search
Oh ... I remember it now.
Must have blocked that conversation from my memory or my senility is just working on overtime nowadays.
Don't remember adding much to that conversation, other than probably to express the foolhardiness of the goal.
I also now remember back to the occasion when that was also attempted with ENTERPRISE getting cancelled.
Don't think we had a silly nickname for that though, it was just "SAVE ENTERPRISE", if I'm remembering correctly.

And he got about the same responses on Reddit that he did here.
Silly writing campaigns have been part of Trek since the 60s.
It's ridiculous when you think about it.

The end, revealing the whole thing as a stupid AI prank and experiment in AI prompts:
To wrap this up. The Stop Luve Stupis text was generated after importing the official artwork
into Dall-E, and adding the prompt: “exchange text with Stop Alex Kurtzman”:
Don’t ask me, why it generated that text…
All of the campaign texts were created on the new ChatGpt 4.0 model within one (still running) session. As were most of my replies.
If you are interested, you can find all prompts as a yt video at
I did most of the stuff, while commuting on my iphone. GPT 4.0 has drastically advanced in terms of contextual recognition. I am pretty sure that in a few years, a “campaign” like this will be auto-deployable, including all provisioning steps for the setup and maintenance of social media accounts.
In real life, i am an IT Security consultant and i truly believe, that the emergence of multimodal language models will drastically change our society. This technology will have profound impact on our everyday lives, no matter if we like it or not.
It wasn’t my intention to insult anyone, see it as a prolonged April fool’s joke, combined with awareness for AI supported agendas. With a few prompt tweaks, the current GPT 4.0 model will already pass the Turing Test. In a few years from now, not even experts will be able to differentiate between AI and man made texts.
Are you kidding right now? "Silly/ridiculous writing campaigns" brought Trek back in the form of TMP (originally Phase II) in the 70's and has been going (relatively) strong ever since with periodic ebbs and flows. New content is always either being shown or in some stage of production.
None of it would have happened without it. Unless you're okay with never having had any kind of Trek after TOS? If that's the case, then why are you on this forum making such patently absurd statements, as surely you never wanted TrekBBS to exist either, so we could have discussions about it?
Seriously, man, sometimes I see these posts from you and I wonder WTF? Where does this shit come from?
Unless this is another one of your "jokes"?
Quick reminder - Jokes really need to make some attempt at humor.
Isn't that a myth?
Literally every person I've ever seen at a convention involved with the production going back to the early 80's credits DC Fontana and the campaign of mass-quantity mail-ins for bringing back Trek.
I mean, unless there is an official statement somewhere contravening that well-documented observation to say they were all talking out their ass, I'd say the opposite would be the myth, giving credit solely to the Paramount suits for having the foresight to unilaterally make Trek's return. Or maybe even Gene.
Taking into consideration the vitriol generated between Gene and DC during those years, one could very easily postulate that the "myth" myth originated from the "Great Bird" himself. He loved salting the fields of other folks' achievements when it came to Trek (Franz Joseph for the blueprints and Tech Manual, TAS - which DC was directly involved with, Alexander Courage - for adding lyrics to the main theme instrumental, Matt Jefferies for his design work on the original Enterprise which Gene added his name to after-the-fact, etc). This, too, is a well documented pattern of behavior for him. What's one more to give him sole credit of the property? If you tell the same lie long enough it eventually becomes truth.
