Those Tzenkethi are from the North.

That's not an easy question to answer - I like it so far, but then again I've liked every season to one degree or another.

This one is structured as more of an Indiana Jones-style adventure. There's a thing that they need to find, other people are also looking for that thing, and we're following them from planet to planet as they try to find it.

Tangentially, the season four VOY episode “One” does not share it’s name with the Borg drone named One; that episode was called “Drone” and was part of season five.

Trips me up every. Single. Time.

Jett keeps her collar open, and the closure is bisected in half, but when we see Culber with his collar open, the closure remains a single piece.

Magical Starfleet uniforms keep me up at night.

Tuvok showed Janeway a a hybrid he made using a favinit and an orchid in “Alliances”.

Tuvok and hybrids involving orchids, name a better trio.

Edit: obligatory picture of the Star Trek Online Tzenkethi. Look upon them and tremble.

A picture of the Tzenkethi as seen in Star Trek Online. There is one close-up, one picture of the back of the creature, and one picture of the front, from the top of the head to the knees. The Tzenkethi are purple, four-armed reptilian creatures with a horn in the centre of their forehead. Portions of their body are covered in high-tech armour, while other portions are left exposed.

Apparently, the numbers on P+ weren't good - the Hagemans themselves have said so.

To be honest, if Paramount slowly decides that they're better off selling their shows to other streamers... I'm not totally against it, depending on how it's done.

Prodigy soldiers on for now, and Starfleet Academy is in pre-production, set to start filming this summer.

“While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we’ve spent making this show has been a dream come true.”

Indeed, if even an animated series is ending after five seasons, I expect this to be a pretty firm maximum moving forward.

“We remain hopeful that even beyond Season 5, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures,”

That's encouraging.

I know people sometimes complain about a lack of DS9 references, but I do think the new shows show respect for the world created by that series.

Justin Ling has published the full audio and transcript of this intervew here.

You know, though. You know.

On the one hand, I see your point.

On the other hand, yes.

A photo of a smiling, shirtless Wilson Cruz, clearly displaying that he does, in fact, work out.

The performances here were exceptional all around.

Wilson Cruz's Jinaal immediately put me on edge, but he turned out to be a very interesting character. It's a shame we apparently won't get to see Jinaal inhabit Moll or L'ak.

I also came away really impressed with Ian Alexander. I haven't been overly invested in Adira and Gray's story, but this development of them as "two kids who moved to attend different schools" was well-executed, and fairly low-key.

~~Captain~~ Commander Rayner continues to delight, and I'm glad they're allowing him to grow gradually, rather than having him learn his lesson all at once.

I guess we won't be seeing Nilsson again - I hope she's having a good time on Voyager.
