The costuming is from the same design language and it was lame for the 1980s if passable in the 70s.

It was a recycle two—for-one: The costuming overlapped on that one, the plot recycling was saved for the equally eye-rolling ‘Angel One’ where

In this episode, an away team visits a world dominated by women to search for survivors of a downed freighter, while the crew of the Enterprise suffer from the effects of a debilitating virus.

Sorry, it really looked and played too much like the scenario in Roddenberry’s 2nd failed ‘Dylan Hunt’ pilot ‘Planet Earth’ (1974).

Roddenberry never left any idea unrecycled, but John Saxon looked better as eye candy.

Diana Muldaur looked better in the X-cross get-up too.

This is also raising questions of foreign interference/influence in democratic process.

In Canada, the federal Elections Commissioner has been called on to investigate the source of bot campaigns for the leading opposition party: Online bot campaign backing Pierre Pollievre prompts call for probe.

Closer to 15 years younger unfortunately since Matelas insisted that it was still 2501. The makeup and cinematography unfortunately made him look closer to 40 at times. UHD can be very unforgiving but EPs casting are in denial.

Speleers has made public that he read for the part of Jim Kirk for SNW, and I can really see how that would have worked.

Season 3 of Picard is more than a decade after Prodigy season 2. If a person can’t grown their hair out in 14+ years they need more than a follicle stimulator.

But the scene did drive home that Ed Speleers looked incredibly old in 2501 for a child that was just gurgling when Westley visited in Prodigy season 2.

I found it interesting that in recent articles quoting Kate Mulgrew on her conditions for Janeway to return in live action, the thing she most stressed was that she had told Alex Kurtzman that the quality of the writing would have to be meticulous.

She’s very happy with the writing for Janeway in Prodigy but sounds like she needs to be convinced that it would be the same in live action.

I have thought ‘Move Along Home’ was great since first broadcast.

DS9 hadn’t yet locked into its eventual tone, but I hold to my view that it’s an episode that wouldn’t have raised the ire of the ‘Dignity of Trek’ on just about any of the other shows in the franchise.

It’s here in Canada on digital via AppleTV.

Blue Brixx quality is comparable, certainly better than the Lego sets 10-15 years ago when our teens were really into them. (Fewer Lego models just fall apart in your hands after building them now.) Blue Brixx is a serious hobby brand in the EU.

Lego chose Star Wars over Star Trek, but at least there’s something out there even if the North American distribution is limited.

Just going to say that any meme that has Kes and Neelix in the same frame is always going to trigger my gag reflex, all the more one that reminds up that they once attempted to be parents together.

Also @GoodAaron@startrek.website has confirmed on his Mastodon account that CTV continues to retain the licence but the EPs didn’t have any news on when it might run either.

I have to wonder if there are any standard ‘use it or lose it’ clauses that crystallize after a certain point in the contracts for streaming licences.
