I don't know the details, because they're only posted to Twitter, and I nuked my account a long time ago, but if you happened to have purchased a token and haven't used it yet, you probably shouldn't?

 

I just wanted to highlight this as the latest of many, many examples of the incredible research Jörg puts into everything that he does.

It's really quite simple. No one was watching it, which is why it was cancelled.

But they had to keep making it because CBS All Access needed those viewers, which I remind you did not exist, to prop up the streaming service.

See? See?

I'm pretty ambivalent about her, but I agree it was an interesting performance, particularly for a woman at that time in television.

She was horribly underused - it's downright criminal that she doesn't pay a significant role in "The Measure of a Man."

The greatest discovery of all ~~was within us all along~~ is still out there somewhere!

I didn't go to the game, but I was in the area, and it looked like the attendance must have been pretty good?

Suddenly realizing that Keiko and Vedek Winn could have resolved their differences very differently...

The showrunner is in charge of production, including the writers room. Matalas was co-showrunner of season two, and sole showrunner of season three.

The effects are so good overall, and used so creatively, I kind of feel badk for taking them for granted.

This show is at its best when they just let Wil be Wil, and go a little off-script. I feel like those moments have been edited out of the final product all season, which made TRR feel kind of soulless.

Until this one - his (seemingly) unscripted chatter with Frakes is great.

This season is really shaping up to the the Summer of Rhys, which is an unexpected surprise.

I was glad to hear the bit about the Breen using transwarp tunnels - it was bugging me that they were seemingly able to zip around the known galaxy nearly as quickly as Discovery.

This is really the kind of Trek-adjacent topic that c/quarks was set up for, but since this should be a definitive indiation that "Legacy" is not going to happen any time soon, I think we'll allow it.

Yeah, my simplified headcanon explanation is that the Kelvin universe was always there, and Spock and Nero happened to tunnel into it.

If you want to add the wrinkle that the red matter implosion somehow created it (which the original film seems to suggest)...well, it's more complicated, but it works, too.
