I’ve had it up to here with these missing wigs!

I…have had…enough…of YOU!!

Yeah, oof indeed

Ass:The Final Frontier

Pretty gutted at this news, but as others have pointed out, this move may cement LD as a classic without outstaying their welcome. And hopefully there is a desire for more animated Trek now

Enjoyed his interview on Jimmy Kimmel. He reenacts his death scene and frankly it’s quite better

Interesting, thanks!

I haven’t watched Discovery past episode 6 or 7 of season 1 (after the klingon sex scene, I tapped out) . I take it they’re 1000 years in the future now, and that’s when this series takes place?

If so, oof, it will be hard to identify with a millenium of progress, unless they pull a Futurama and have everything rebuilt a few hundred years in (after the second coming of Jesus of course). Why not go back to the Harve Bennett-era academy series for inspiration? Or set it after Nemesis?

The only redeeming grace for me so far is having Tawny Newsome (or is it Trondy Newman?) in the writers room. She is an absolute delight

Arguably they were still figuring out the tone, and how to revive a 20 year old franchise while not retreading the past. Not claiming there aren’t some duds, but later 90s Trek benefited from TNG cracking the “formula” and sticking to it.

Compare a modern spiritual successor to TNG like The Orville, which, despite a rocky premiere, just crushed it within 5-6 episodes, and kept crushing it, because they didn’t have to put so much legwork into defining the tone of the show.

The Orville… Still the best Trek of the modern era.

Look, it’s Kirk’s brother’s roommate’s boyfriend from that one background scene in that one episode! . Modern star wars has the same problem of making an entire universe seem so small. Makes me appreciate the bold choice that was Voyager: tossing them far away from anything familiar and any cameos (not that we didn’t get them but they had to be more creative within the premise, aka tuvok on sulu’s Excelsior )

Stunning!

Now this I’m interested in. Andor was a quite good and, importantly, character-driven study of a desperate man growing to challenge an insurmountable empire… You know, in contrast to the exhaustive world building and effects-heavy “pew pew” fan service that has become the rest of modern star wars

I dare say, I’d also enjoy this film much more than the nixed Tarantino film

When a very important Star Trek person wanders into Ben’s cargo bay, he leaves the handmade gun at home to avoid another encounter with security. But with a 50% hit rate on the backstage rider, “Bowmore 15 or similar” results in something “perfectly drinkable”. How did Waltke Senior inform Rok-Tahk’s mouth? Is Kevin Uxbridge being discussed inside of Big Rodd’s pocket? Does Nickelodeon slime have a shelf life? It’s the episode that’s made for specialized collectors of Star Trek V memorabilia!

This is in English but I have absolutely no idea what it says

From the other thread

Speaking of demos, anyone remember the trailer for the game Secret of Vulcan Fury that was included in front of Interplay games, touting the voices of the original cast? So sad it was never released, considering it was deforest Kelley’s last turn as McCoy. I wonder if the original audio tapes still exist and someone could turn it into a game…

Here’s the trailer I remember

But also found this “footage” when looking for the trailer

There was much hullabaloo over the game being written by DC Fontana, and of course the entire original cast having laid down recordings. That said, if I recall correctly, they never even had a working version before Interplay folded.

As I mention above, wonder where those VR tracks went and if they could be rescued and turned into a game, radio play, etc. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been lost to time or, if they still exist in someone’s garage , aren’t too degraded

My fifth grade teacher would let us play 25th Anniversary if we did well in class. My first intro to Star Trek games!

Then went on to ask for them all. Loved the real life actors in Star Trek Borg (including John de lancie!)

I remember buying Klingon Honor Guard and being so bad at it that I asked my mom to return it, finding out later that the installation worked without the discs (the good old days of PC software). I got much better at FPS and went on enjoy Elite Force, which is probably my favorite.

Also waited with bated breath for the demo of New Worlds but can’t remember if I ever got the full game.

Ah, thanks for the memories of the golden age of Star Trek video games!

Thanks for sharing those pics. Who knew star fleet turned into the Orville??

Link to the video please? I’m curious. Have half the 1992 ship kicking around somewhere down in the basement…

We’ve got a number from the 90s of classic Trek charactets: Kirk in the captain chair, Spock at his console. Also some of the older Star Wars ones that also light up with voices.

Happy holidays!

The captain kirk finger puppet is the stuff of nightmares

Thanks, didn’t know that

I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things

Writers strike likely affected scripts…

Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing…

So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025
