Deadline is an industry news site, so the comments tend to be filled by people from the industry (or at least claiming to be).

It's real hard to interpret all the corporate jargon, but...I think in the near term, nothing's likely to change. The guy was already overseeing drama, including Star Trek, and is continuing in that role. The new bit seems to be "emphasis on franchise building and leveraging and identifying new and existing IP across broadcast, streaming and other emerging media," which is...vague, but obviously could have implications for Trek. Maybe they'll lean into alternative projects like the Khan podcast series, or that Picard audiobook they did a while back.

And maybe it could involve coordinating with the film division for the next theatrical movie?

To elaborate on this a bit, filtering by "All" will provide content from all federated Lemmy servers, not just ours.

If you want to only see content from startrek.website communities, you can filter by "Local."

If you browse or search Lemmy for communities you like, you can also subscribe to them, and then filter your feed by "Subscribed."

 

Approximately a month ago, following Freeland’s dramatic exit from the Liberal cabinet, the Conservatives opened up a seemingly insurmountable lead of 25 points. Since then, the entire complexion of what appeared to be an inevitable Conservative majority has changed. This massive lead has virtually evaporated over a one-month period.

 

This is possibly Star Trek-adjacent news:

In addition to continuing to lead drama development, Seabury’s expanded EVP role will include overseeing content strategy with an emphasis on franchise building and leveraging and identifying new and existing IP across broadcast, streaming and other emerging media. He’ll continue to implement strategic roadmaps for the Studio’s producer and pod deals, and now collaborate across departments and divisions to find innovative opportunities for storytellers.

Titles and franchises that Seabury and his team have developed and shepherded include this year’s breakout series Matlock. He also helped oversee the expansion of the NCIS franchise, with NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Tony & Ziva, as well as series including Elsbeth, Evil, the Star Trek franchise, Fire Country and its new spinoff Sheriff Country, the upcoming Happy Face for Paramount+, among others.

Well, Bashir (and I think his buddies from the Institute?) are proof that it's possible. I've never delved into novels or other things about the Eugenics Wars, though.

Controls’ file says that Georgiou was brought to the prime universe in 2257, ”but after a few years we lost contact.” The events of season two of DIS take place almost immediately after season one, unless there were ”a few years” between the resolution of the Klingon war, and the USS Discovery setting out from Earth to pick up her new captain on Vulcan in “Will You Take My Hand?”.

I wonder if our boi Ash Tyler had something to do with that when he covered up what happened to Discovery (and, I guess, to Leland). Maybe he decided to remove Georgiou from that whole situation and falsify a record saying she disappeared some time later.

I also wonder if Ashy T. is still involved with S31 at this point - the man's a Klingon, so he's got the life span for it.

Unfortunately, I think it's actually not feasible - the mussels are established throughout the entire lake, and not localized to a single area.

They had their chance with the curtain, it failed, and even that was kind of a Hail Mary.

I really think we need another reference point - I wouldn't say any of the "new" series seem particularly like Star Wars, aesthetically or tonally.

I also don't think Star Wars should have a monopoly on certain types of storytelling, but that's neither here nor there.

It's still on track to close within the next few months.

I have my doubts that the tv side of Trek will be affected too much, but maybe the new management will be able to remove some of the roadblocks on the theatrical side.

This is pretty thoughtful, and I get where you're coming from.

I do, however, think that the newer shows are frequently aspirational...but the focus has shifted toward doing the right thing in an environment that makes it difficult. There's a lot more emphasis on struggle, in a way that hasn't really been explored outside of DS9, and perhaps certain parts of ENT. That works for me, as I think it's the more salient message for the times we live in: there are always going to be struggles, the greatest dangers often come from within, and doing the right thing can be incredibly hard.

we rarely ever get any breathing room downtime with the characters!

I definitely get this - it's unfortunately something we're going to have to learn to live with, because I don't see longer seasons coming back any time soon (and honestly, they come with their own sets of drawbacks).

She did note that there are legitimate concerns about some parliamentarians potentially having problematic relationships with foreign officials, exercising poor judgment, behaving naively and perhaps displaying questionable ethics.

"But I did not see evidence of parliamentarians conspiring with foreign states against Canada," the report concludes.

"While some conduct may be concerning, I did not see evidence of 'traitors' in Parliament."

This is encouraging, but there needs to be a mechanism for these "problematic relationships" to be brought out into the public sphere (without it becoming a witch hunt).

We're looking in to it, but I'm not sure when a solution may be found. It's actually worse than you know when it comes to lemmy.world content making it to us - think days, not hours.

Yeah, it's wild.

The Fugitive Doctor has really caught on with people, and RTD has embraced the Timeless Child concept, so....maybe?

Yeah, it's a double-take of a sentence.

"Kerblam" was an interesting-but-flawed episode, and my memory of "Praxeus" is...fuzzy, at best.
