Ironically, The Daily Show has moved to Paramount+ along with the rest of Trek (also ironically, with the exception of Prodigy).

So what you want is Star Trek that...had nothing to do with Star Trek, because literally anything using the title, concept, or characters will be, by definition, "built on nostalgia." Got it.

For sure - I'm certain the supplements will be useful even with the 2E rules.

Surely there are surgical options you could explore first.

Meaney had always struck me as the ultimate working actor, fairly ambivalent about Star Trek beyond it being a job (which is fine).

It's hard to imagine him turning down an offer, were it too come in.

I think 1E and 2E are supposed to be pretty compatible.

But yeah...the 1E core rulebook is not great when it comes to explaining the actual rules in a way that's concise and easy to reference in the middle of a session.

The villain, no less!

I believe Alex Kurtzman said at SDCC that there was only one more regular role to be cast, so I guess this is that.

I think it works pretty well at all ages.

This isn't a Star Trek-related story, as Star Trek is made by CBS Studios, not Paramount Television Studios.

I, for one, think that everyone better at sports than me should be banned from competition.

The short answer is that no such test has ever been produced, and the boxing association that claimed they had done one never revealed the precise results, or even which lab had supposedly done the test, and has since been decertified for corruption.

 

With Prodigy season 2 poised to drop 20 episodes on us on Monday, we're trying to decide how to manage the discussions. Each option has its pros and cons, so why not put it to the group? The way I see it, we have three options:

  1. One discussion thread per episode, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.

  2. Four discussion threads, breaking the season into 5-episode blocks, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.

  3. One megathread to discuss the season, with no episodic threads.

  4. Individual episode threads, dropped at a rate of two per day.


Edit: Based on the response, we'll go with Option 1. I might space out the actual posts somewhat, though, to avoid spamming the "All" feed too much.

 

The so-called "intelligence to evidence" dilemma involves striking a balance between the need to shield sensitive intelligence and law enforcement's use of that information, along with the need to protect an accused's right to a fair trial.

Duheme added the RCMP has an "excellent relationship" with CSIS but the problems involved in using intelligence as evidence have plagued the two agencies for years.
