Of all the streamers, Netflix seems to have the best grasp on how to produce shows for younger audiences. I hope Prodigy thrives there.

I was, uh, extremely bad at the ship combat. Couldn't take down much more than the Ferengi and Talarian ships.

Gotta get them clicks!

I just remembered I owned this thing, too.

What a year 1993 was.

Oh yeah, I certainly know that one by reputation!

I'll go first: I played the hell out of 1993's Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy.

Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy

In retrospect, it was a pretty simple game, but it felt pretty robust to this eleven-year-old. You took the role of commander of the Enterprise (specifically not Picard, as he gave you the missions), and made use of the TNG crew to complete various assignments, from cargo runs to ~~squaring up against~~ getting annihilated by Romulan warbirds.

And who wouldn't fall in love with graphics like these?

As an admin here, I'm not too worried about being "forced into ruin" - at worst, we would get bigger, and then get smaller again if Meta pulls the plug on ActivityPub.

But I can also assure you that we'll be watching closely.

I must sadly recuse myself from the giveaway (curse my sense of ethics!), but I can confirm that OP is indeed the Community Manager for Star Trek Resurgence at Dramatic Labs.

Good luck to everyone!

Right now, we don't see any real reason to do so. If someone can identify a clear, genuine threat from Meta besides "we don't like them" (and, to be clear, we don't), we're open to hearing it. But as it stands, I haven't seen anything concrete that would be cause for concern.

If the worst-case scenario is...more people can interact with us, then I don't see what the problem is.

Stories like these drive me nuts - "hypothetical thing could have a hypothetical effect".

Wake me when such a buyout actually happens, y'know?

I mean, it sounds like the thing they're hunting for is pretty dangerous (whatever it is), but it does sound like they're going for a tonal shift.

S1 drops on Netflix on Christmas Day.

 

Disney is apparently (re)discovering that they need to treat TV shows like...TV shows.

The studio also plans on having full-time TV execs, rather than having executives straddle both television and film.

“We need executives that are dedicated to this medium, that are going to focus on streaming, focus on television,” says Winderbaum, “because they are two different forms.”

It also is revamping its development process. Showrunners will write pilots and show bibles. The days of Marvel shooting an entire series, from She-Hulk to Secret Invasion, then looking at what’s working and what’s not, are done.

 

In a statement, the company said it had taken the step to remove all Sunrise Grade A Fresh Turkeys — Size 5-8 kg with a best-before date of Oct. 11 — from its retail shelves in its Western Canadian stores.

The stores affected include FreshCo, IGA, Safeway, Sobeys and Thrifty Foods.
