TNG's costume department had a lot of...interesting ideas.

And in Prodigy's case, Paramount's press releases have never mentioned the Sci-Fi channel - just the website and app. And now they're not even mentioning those...

Honestly, I don't think it's looking good.

I'd wager it's the dreadnought, and it's not particularly close.

The Breen ship absolutely dwarfs Federation HQ.

The Enterprise-J is huge, but I find fans often exaggerate its size even further.

The new uniforms look pretty white to my eyes.

Did Eaglemoss get to any of those before they went under? Maybe they're trying to avoid duplication.

While I absolutely do not want to defend Rick Berman, I also think it's important to acknowledge that his brand of assholishness was not unique (and, frankly, still isn't).

Personally, I'm just excited to see their li'l sailor suits in action.

Edit: Canadawatch continues, as references to CTV no longer appear in the description of availability.

I don't think what they were doing in the Delta Quadrant would meet many (good) definitions of "capitalism."

And it's difficult to say how "martial law" could be imposed on a command structure that was already militaristic.

as they are cut off from that free energy

They were "cut off" because they no longer had access to the supply lines that provided them with fuel. That's not "free energy" at all.

Resources and means of production are both things in the Federation. We see mining operations and manufacturing facilities well into the 24th century.

And with only one unfortunate exception that I can think of, matter replication is treated as a net energy loss - it isn't free.

Very cool - am I to understand you drew this poster?

Note: Episode 5x07, "Erigah," was released in some regions, presumably by accident, hours ago. If this hasn't been fixed by now, and you are able to watch "Erigah," please don't post spoilers from that episode in this thread. We will create an episode discussion post for that episode once we're confident it has been properly released globally.

 

LoglineCaptain Burnham and Book journey into extradimensional space in search of the next clue to the location of the Progenitors’ power. Meanwhile, Rayner navigates his first mission in command of the U.S.S. Discovery, and Culber opens up to Tilly.
