not short sighted fiscally
Talk about a big ask...
I don't think there's much to worry about - Goldsman may be open to the idea, but he's also got another job lined up, so I think it will remain hypothetical.
“Unfortunately Discovery’s loss was our gain. So they basically said, ‘Look, we think we’re done after four seasons.’ And we said, ‘Hey, what about our whole ‘Let’s get the fans to the TOS era,’ because what happens to all these people, and how does this person will come up?’ And they were like, ‘No, that’s fair. That’s true.’ And they said, ‘What do you need to get there?’ And we said, ‘Six episodes’ and they said okay.”
“The good news was, when I say ‘they,’ really the folks who make this show wanted this to happen too, but there are fiscal constraints that are real. You know what’s going on with Paramount. So to move things forward in that environment was a challenge, but everybody—CBS, Paramount, Strange New Worlds, and [Alex Kurtzman’s production company] Secret Hideout were all pulling in the same direction. And that’s how we ended up getting six episodes. So it was a wasn’t really a negotiation, but it was a heavy lift for pretty much everybody, because everybody wanted not to have another Discovery circumstance where it felt abrogated in a way that wasn’t thorough.”
Surprisingly candid stuff. I'm glad that some of the CBS pencil-pushers are creative-minded enough to make this happen.
Yeah I'm not super familiar with the podcasting world, but I think they have technology that stitches current ads into the back catalogue.
Yeah, he cobbled together a fake Gorn transponder, and built a trap out of force fields and fake biosigns.
But he probably gave accurate time estimates like a rank amateur.
Don't they have a table or something this year?
I don't know about "quickly" - at the rate they're going, the show won't end until 2028...
I'm just mad we're exporting the stuff for free.
I think it's high time they showed us literally anything from "Academy." Footage would be great, photos would be acceptable.
The low end of the merchandise continuum seems to be their biggest weakness. This higher-detail, higher-end stuff is plentiful, but the prices are unreal.

Very cool - I honestly had never considered the logistics of these sorts of operations, but seeing the host of these videos work out the fuel stops along the way just to make it out to the ships they're evacuating people from has been incredible.
