Well, I just rewatched it and enjoyed it all the more the second time.

My partner saw it for the first time, really enjoyed it, laughing the way through - with an overall rating of 7.5.

Like my partner, I’m an old thing.

I have watched absolutely everything Trek in first run since 1966 so I don’t have a lot of patience with those who became fans in the Berman era and feel entitled to gatekeep or define what isn’t Trek or isn’t ‘good’ for the next generation

I actively kept TOS fans from booing down young TNG fans trying to speak up at the cons in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These YouTubers are cut from the same mould but unfortunately have a much bigger public than the toxic TOS fans did on Usenet or subscription mimeod fanzines.

I actually enjoyed S31 for what it is and am about to rewatch it today with my partner.

It’s campy, and full of action sequences and fights, but that was to be expected with MU Georgiou.

It’s relatively rich in plot and characterization when I compare it to the run of current action movies like ‘The Grey Man’ on Netflix.

And it’s soooo much better than Star Trek V ‘The Final Frontier’.

How anyone can talk about the movies failing now clearly had rose coloured glasses on while watching:

• Kirk’s death in ‘Generations’

• the completely boring, Patrick Stewart indulgent dune buggy sequence in ‘Nemesis’ followed by the offensive rape content with stoic and sarcastic Troi turned into a tearful, dependant mess

• ‘Into Darkness’

• the destruction of the Enterprise, ridiculous motorcycle stored on bridge and motorcycle action sequence in ‘Beyond’

Not sure ‘cutting them’ is totally accurate.

The writing team and original creator/showrunner EPs Kim & Lippoldt were joined by a guy who had some showrunner experience. At the time, it sounded more like the Paramount suits weighed in on that as the show stayed in development hell even after an original greenlight.

But the fact is that when S31 got put on the back burner during the pandemic lockdown, Kim & Lippoldt took an offer from Netflix to take over as showrunners of ‘Sweet Tooth’.

They have been very successful with that. Paramount would be very fortunate to get them back to run anything.

My thoughts exactly.

It would be great if they could bring Kim & Lippoldt back as showrunners/EPs and get someone else to direct it.

Sooooo unbearably sugary and sweet. Yikes.

I bought one many decades in childhood and couldn’t finish it despite loving cherry-centred chocolates.

I found out when we visited the Hershey plant in Smiths Falls before the closure that it was originally a local brand targeted for the super-sweet preferences of Eastern Ontario and Quebec - which are apparently shared with Louisiana and Georgia.

Nice to see Loops getting traction.

Shockingly, they were bred to be easier to handle and fit a can shape.

Imagine what the original varieties looked like.

He didn’t necessarily know that Pike would be an option. He likely didn’t know that Lorca would be an MU character.

Isn’t that what the sitcom Tawny Newsome is developing will be?

This seems to be a non sequitur. OP is asking about where to live not where to find employment.

There are visas under the free trade agreement with the US and Mexico that enable movement of employees between the three countries. These have been in place since the 1990s.

She brought such positive energy to fans during her time on Discover.

Her Twitter was full of enthusiasm. CBS was so much less limiting of the actors’ social media engagement. Paramount really hasn’t done well by limiting engagement to the EPs.

It’s unfortunate there hasn’t been opportunity for her appear in Strange New Worlds.

It won the only series Emmy ever for the franchise.
