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…

I think it’s Celia Gooding in unusual makeup, but how fun would it be to give Spock some Burnham closure?

It’s an interesting batch of games in development right now - a survival(?) psychological horror entry, a city-builder, and this.

IGN ain’t what it used to be

Interested to see how they work Elgersma into the offense (if at all).

If the Conventional Wisdom is true and they’re working on a succession plan for Collaros’ retirement, you’d think it would be in their best interest to get Elgersma some reps…

I guess I feel cautiously optimistic here in Bomberland. The defence looked shaky at times, but a win’s a win.

“Star Trek isn’t this, except when it is” is a pretty shaky foundation for an argument, though.

It seems like they don’t mean “bolder” so much as “more mainstream”.

I’m not necessarily opposed to that, but I also like the oddball, niche games of the last few years (short-lived as they’ve been).

Okay, this could be my kind of game. Will have to check out the demo.
