Fun fact. Canadian Thanksgiving originated in the old CofE harvest thanksgiving but got secularized, made statutory and fixed on the second Monday in October.

Pondering…🤔
If they are giving a special showing of Lower Decks S4E8 at NYCC, will it get the early release on Paramount+ and appear as a ‘special event on CTV Sci-Fi Channel?
Also, if they are promoting ‘news for Star Trek fans in attendance’, what do we hope to see?
-
release of Discovery S5 new trailer?
-
news on Saving Prodigy!
-
announcement of longer season for SNW S3?
Not just Bagey, not just assorted evil AI escapees from Daystrom security, but assimilated Klingons and Binars too.
Fun!
And perhaps a win for Rutherford?
Just realized that pricing is shown only in the body of the email.
Here’s a screenshot.
Thanks for asking.
Kzinti have notes.
One of the things that I consider most important about these sales is that the discount is being borne by the retailer and the publisher.
The contracted tie-in writers still get their full (if small) payment per book. Author @DavidMack@wanderingshop and others have confirmed this point in social media posts.
So, it’s your opportunity to get Treklit content at affordable prices while still ensuring creators are compensated.
Here’s a completely different take.
What if the purpose is to attract new audiences to the franchise who have different tastes than the existing core?
To do that, having an established rapper embrace the franchise and play an original character in Fortnite, makes sense from an outreach point of view.
The franchise doesn’t exist just to serve older folks like me who’ve watched everything since 1966, nor will it survive if it focuses on appealing to the fans who were drawn in by the 90s Berman era shows.
I rather like that they’re following the current Canadian naval custom of naming warships after major cities. The real life HMCS Vancouver and Toronto are currently serving Halifax-class frigates. The HMCS Toronto’s registry number is 333.
Thanks for the confirmation of the Toronto as Parliament-class and the registry number.
With a more complete CGI model, I wasn’t quite sure of the class on a single watch.
So now I know that all those books that I gifted to our kids are becoming out of print collectors items.
Cool? Not cool?!
Is there anyone else here that feels that Patrick Stewart is violating the spirit of the SAG-AFTRA strike with his book promoting interviews?
While it’s likely his publisher wanted a fall release for the Christmas gift market, it seems really inappropriate that he’s out pitching how he wanted his show to end (with his real life wife getting another voice credit) or stories about TNG behind the scenes.
SAG members have been constrained from talking about the franchise in convention panels, or promoting their new shows, but he’s out there selling his book based on his career in the IP and distracting from Lower Decks which needs all the boost it can get.
It’s not making me admire Stewart, and settled any question of buying his book for the negative.
I stand corrected.
But in one image the Drookmani has an apparent implant?
