As far as actual news goes, this SDCC was pretty thin, to say the least.

No one can say the franchise is dead!

It got a second season, which has yet to air, and then got cancelled. So we’re going to get to see their second year at the Academy, eventually.

Our new vulcan is a flanderisation of vulcans, and not in a good way.

I’ve gotta be honest, I think she’s uncomfortably representative - Vulcans are, by and large, dicks. But the appearance of…

…will likely balance things out in the future.

If they’re going to keep making these, something more subtle might have worked,

Yeah, this was on-the-nose to the point of being kind of a strange thing for her to say.

I don’t think anything will ever top DS9 for me, but I’d put several of the newer shows above Voyager.

I would have loved some Voth references

My only “complaint,” because the Voth are one of my favourite dumb Trek things. But it’s not really a complaint, and you can easily assume the Voth are simply gone by this point in history.

Money never got nobody nowhere

I saw someone compare it to “Rascals”, and I’m hard-pressed to say it’s a sillier idea.

I find that absolutely fascinating if it’s somehow true - I would assume that anything written for Trek, like any other major franchise, is strictly “work for hire” and the individual authors have no rights to their work. It’s hard to imagine it any other way.

Not disputing that she said it, I just truly don’t understand it.

the characters are legally distinct so that the writers of that episode don’t get royalties for the entire run of Voyager

This is a very common claim, but I find it very dubious. You never hear about this sort of contract in American television. I don’t think anyone made a lot of bank when Chief O’Brien joined DS9.

What even is time

Dang, that is a solid lineup.

Frain played Sarek on Discovery - he was played by the late Ben Cross (who was also very good) in the Kelvin films.

Yeah, it seems he may have thought he was free to speak, and been very mistaken.

But here’s a screengrab!

Bakula on “Quantum Leap”

Eve Harlow on “Agents of SHIELD”

I was only able to catch the first half of the Bomber game, and…that was more than enough, thankyouverymuch.

That’s generally been my opinion, too - two great tastes that likely wouldn’t taste great together.

But for the sake of arguing with myself, they were able to make the SNW/LD crossover work, and that arguably has just as much tonal whiplash, if not more, despite the shared setting.

That ship has decidely sailed, with both franchises on the space rocks at the moment.

I strongly disagree with the first three points (not yours, I know) - especially in the TOS era - but I do agree it doesn’t quite feel the way I want it to.

That Sybock thing demands follow-up, for sure.

They just have to make sure none of the eventual TOS cast meet him…
