This was another decent episode. I have to say, though, I don’t think this season is “hitting” for me quite as much as past seasons.

Does it get any better than Dadmiral Vance?

I’m a little surprised by the appearance of SB 80 - its interiors are obviously very 2260s, but the exterior appearance seems incongruent with that.

To be fair, it’s also not supported by any other articles.

I know these things tend to be fuzzy when the Klingons are involved, but…is being directly involved in the death of a high-ranking Klingon a Prime Directive issue?

Is this season secretly building to an extended hearing on the multiple violations committed by the Cerritos crew over the course of ten episodes?

u ok?

Monosyllabic and obsessed with dom-jot?

At what point would you move from the old stuff to the new stuff to keep someone from being too confused?

I don’t think confusion is a big concern - if she has some basic familiarity with the franchise, it shouldn’t take much more than explaining when the series is set. Beyond that, each show should stand on its own.

The only possible exception to this is “Picard,” which is the most reliant on a previous series, but even then, the show should give the viewer enough information to watch it on its own terms.

Just in case the site gets wiped or something…

When you’re logical, you’re logical.

It is not good.*

*in my personal, but I think pretty uncontroversial, opinion.

I’m not sure the people who engage in this sort of tomfoolery are concerned with atomic clock-level precision.

It’s coming to Steam sometime in the new year.

I’m not sure - I’ve been alerted that Canal+ and Netflix both have it in France - can you confirm?

We’re doing our best to sort out the international availability in a stickied post, if you haven’t seen it!

Paramount+ cancelled it, but CBS Studios sold it to Netflix and it remains in production. Season 2 will debut there in 2024.

That’s entirely up to you.

It was nice to see the author of the piece dive in to the fact that the various Paramount subsidiaries don’t always share the same goals or agree with the decisions of the others.
