Well, you’ll need to decide which service(s) has more of what you want to see.
Many of us are rotating subscriptions at this point. The streamers fret about ‘churn’ but few households can justify a menu of services at one time any more than they could afford a half dozen premium cable channels.
I’m sure Bruce Horak would love it.
Unfortunately he’s not in the fediverse as yet to my knowledge.
Paramount repatriated the show to Paramount+ just about everywhere.
Star Trek is even on P+ in Canada now, although we still have the shows coming in on premium cable via Media as well.
I can see that. As a Canadian, I found he projected an image that was too ‘All American’ and less interesting than Alex Cord.
I’d say that I like the more intellectual, scientist version of the character in Genesis II.
But as with The Cage and the network’s reaction to Jeffrey Hunter’s original Captain Pike and the push for ripped shirts and fight scenes with Shatner, Roddenberry was pushed to get an actor with a more military, action hero vibe for his second attempt with Planet Earth.
I think the Dylan Hunt casting had a downward trend.
Alex Cord in ‘Genesis II’ >> John Saxon in ‘Planet Earth’ >>>>>>>>>>> Kevin Sorbo in ‘Andromeda’
Although all the blond women leads - Mariette Hartley; Diana Muldaur and Lisa Ryder respectively - were all better actors than the content they were given to work with.
Never have been convinced that the toy branding and marketing has been targeted appropriately for Star Trek.
Playmates never quite seemed to hit the mark. They were trying to create a mass market toy but marketing for collectors.
The other side of the Paramount house has done brilliantly with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles branding, tie-ins and toys since they took them away from Nickelodeon.
While the television franchise is in good hands with Secret Hideout, bringing in some fresh perspective from the TMNT team seems very needed.
New fans & returning fans are always welcome on c/risa.
Star Trek is up to 11 different shows not including shorts & movies. Each has a core ensemble of ~ 7 characters plus recurring ones.
These characters are from two different 90s era shows Deep Space 9 (Martok and Kira) and Enterprise (T’Pol and Archer).
This instance has an FAQ and wiki that includes ‘where to start.’
For those struggling with the meaning of the lyrics for ‘Alouette’, there’s even a more bizarre Québécois nonsense song along similar lines ‘Mon Merle’.
In this case, the blackbird starts by losing a body part, then getting three back in its place. Worse, the singer asks each time ‘Comment vas-tu mon Merle’, literally ‘How’s it going blackbird.’
Here’s a rather delightful, celebrated 1958 animated short featuring the song, sung by ‘The Trio Lyrique of Montreal‘ with an English introduction . (It used an experimental cut-out animation method.)
Dr. Miglemo would be horrified.
One our kids is currently putting together a ‘Jaxi’ music box with a Christmas tree on it. Turns out to be a BlueBrixx product.
It’s fine, and encouraging us to get more from them.
There was a third species in TAS that some interpret as felinoid, but are more likely lemurians.
The ancient, advanced space-faring species the Vedala was introduced in the TAS episode’The Jihad’ written by Stephen Kandel, whose other episodes featured Harry Mudd.
Here are a few more images from TAS that show the breadth of sentient species that the show established
Shari, Lois & Bram were almost as riveting to young kids as Raffi.
And yes, the songs were intentional nonsense.
