Which makes me wonder how the next season will feel.

I’ve been thinking about that lately. I see a couple of possibilities:

• A single, six-episode arc (which doesn’t really seem like this show’s style).

• Standalone episodes with significant time-jumps in between (seems more likely to me).

Of course, there are other possibilities (maybe a bunch of two-parters like ENT season 4?), so who knows?

It reminds me of the Babylon 5 season 4 finale, which was written to function as the series finale when they thought they wouldn’t get renewed.

Even better, the actual series finale was filmed at the end of season 4 and withheld until season 5 ended (which is why Ivanova is in it instead of Lochley, for example). So season 4 sort of had two finales.

Yeah…I think Collider has fallen pretty far in terms of the way they write their articles and headlines - I assume it’s the brief mention about how season five has “essentially no genre hopping,” per Akiva Goldsman.

Trick question - there are no good episodes of Star Trek.

What’s wrong with space baby? If we start to exclude “space baby,” we’re actually excluding a fair number of Trek episodes.

Being physically unable to watch something seems like a medical concern. Might be worth looking into.

Pray for Future La’An.

They got a very early pickup for the second season, so it was filmed ages ago. The only question is when they’re going to release the thing.

I’m seein’ double here! Three Spockos!

Strange…the Euclid address does work for me. It should spit you out on Twhit V32 in the Sadessape System.

Oh, wow. The Cosmos update has been great, but these exploration issues are significant. You’ll likely find that your discoveries don’t “take.”

I did, but you’ve likely noticed that discoveries are completely broken right now, so that may be related.

I am…not confident that the portal system is working as intended this week. I know you’re not the only person who’s had issues.

Most frustrating. I’ll keep an eye on the patch notes.

I’ve edited the OP to include coordinates in Euclid, the starter galaxy - you should be able to use any Euclid portal to get there!

Looks like the news just broke - the terms can be found here.

Yeah, if they’re sending Uhura forward in time as the trailers have suggested, it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce them without actually introducing them.

Yeah, I fully expect the final “deal” to be rather toothless.

The fact that I didn’t claim a station in Euclid is proof that I wasn’t really thinking things through. We’ll be around once you get there!

I think I got a stomach bug or food poisoning

I feel you. I’ve been going through it this weekend, myself. Flu season came early.

In Picard, she becomes a vigilante and ultimately kills Bjayzl out of revenge even after Picard explicitly challenges that choice.

And you believe the show was endorsing the fact that she did it? Portrayal of an act is not an endorsement of that act. Seven did plenty of shady stuff on Voyager, from trying to take over the ship to disobeying orders and waking up the Vaadwaur.

That distinction matters to me: not “nobody ever does wrong”, but the narrative still knows that the means require moral scrutiny.

You seem very determined to make the case that the new shows don’t provide that, but I simply don’t agree.

Doesn’t NuTrek glorify Section 31, which is basically just that?

Arguably in the movie, though they didn’t do anything particularly immoral in it.

Beyond that, not even a little bit. They’re still the bad guys.

NuTrek would probably use it to 9/11 Romulus’s sun’s core and wipe their home world out just to stir up drama.

If you have to conjure examples out of thin air, it’s possible your argument isn’t as strong as you think it is.
