NYCC 2024 - she’s a recurring guest star, not a regular.

Yeah, they announced her as a recurring guest star at NYCC last year. They’ve got a pretty killer cast lined up, at least amongst the adults. I’m not familiar with any of the cadets.

They seem like good people. I think the site’s business model makes things look a little shallow or clickbaity, but they do good work.

TrekCulture isn’t a misinfo outlet, so I would trust their reporting to be accurate.

That said, Mulgrew has made similar comments in the past.

They’re all worth watching, if only so you can make your own decisions.

The holo-crew is a really smart idea for a solo freighter captain.

Good catch, I’d completely forgotten about that line:

Some of these hulls are organic. Some…some are completely comprised of holographic-containment walls.

wait, does Discovery has a holodeck?

They actually seem to have what you’re describing, more or less - Burnham was able to run complete holosimulations in her quarters.

sighs, opens the drawer of crayons

Star Trek’s Best Kept Secret

Naveen Andrews is such a perfect choice, I’m mad I never thought of it before.

They apparently have an XL Protostar slotted for January 2026.

The Roddenberry Archive is probably the best place - navigate to the section called “765874”.

They just link to YouTube videos, but I find the actual YouTube channel challenging to find stuff in.

I was able to find a couple of things I found interesting about Section 31, but I had to dig pretty deep to do it.

I don’t think there’s any question that it was well-liked by the fandom.

However, I used to check in with Parrot Analytics fairly frequently - they’re a site that purports to measure the overall “demand” of a series through a variety of means that I don’t fully understand…but the industry uses their metrics.

“Lower Decks” was typically the second-lowest “in demand” new series - only “Prodigy” had a lower score.

That said, the demand for all of the new series was categorized as “outstanding.”

Oh good, my map edits were accepted!

I doubt they use antimatter reactors planetside - very risky, and antimatter don’t come cheap. They likely rely on fusion more than anything.

But hey, the wind is free. Why wouldn’t you use it?

I will say that S4 gets better as it goes along, and a lot of people would cite it as their favourite.

I honestly think season three is one of the best overall seasons of any Trek series. It’s got good energy, and I’ve talked pretty extensively about why I think the ending is pretty great, actually.

killing Book’s family was kind of idiotic

The poor species was doomed once they were revealed to be spore drive-compatible. They were never going to take away the lead ship’s unique feature.

Also, background character development feels a bit weak.

I’ve probably talked about this before as well, but I think Disco was pretty experimental with the extended cast - they essentially gave what would have been wordless extras on other shows and gave them a bit more to do.

Ultimately, I think it was a bit of a failed experiment, but at least some talented Canadian actors were able to pad their resumes.

Time will tell on that one.

I think I read that Giamatti’s character has a connection to one of the leads, so I’m kind of hoping he’s someone’s Bad Dad.
