Is it wrong to introduce new digraphs? No, it is the þ that is wrong.

...all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.

Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.

Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last 🙏

I have a half-baked thought of my own.

That as the world slides into the maws of oligarchy, we need to see the Star Trek series that zooms in on the transition away from money.

They should face the music of class war with that Trek panache that made them great👌

There is this thing we need to find that thing. An entire season about finding that thing.

Ah yes, the season-sized adventure that feels like a bunch of yak-shaving fetch-quests in an rpg.

we must find the progenitor macguffin, but first we must find the treasure map, but first...

If we look for it we probably see this pattern is common across many trek episodes, but across a season they managed to do it in such a way that feels very obvious and hard to miss.

Give them Andor instead of Ahsoka; they need to make more content that speaks to the universal human condition and less about the cool worlds and characters they've got. The people want Squid Game and Severance, not another cinematic universe.

“On my last week [working on Discovery], I approved the Starfleet uniforms, which they tossed out, and rejected the Klingons, which they kept.” Notably, both the Discovery uniforms and the Klingons from that era proved to be controversial with fans

That's the big what-if for me out of this article: what if disco had klingons that didn't become radioactive to so much of the audience?

The whole klingon war felt like it happened in a single episode or two and I wonder how much of that was them concluding they made an ugly-sonic and tossing it.

Maybe we would have seen more Ash Tyler and less Book, who knows 🤷‍♀️

Imagine you could sell $39.99 shovelware to almost every single kid that watches Jimmy Neutron, because you're gonna drown that show in ads for it.

The child then grinds down the parents' resolve and the money is eventually spent.

I totally didn't witness this first hand when sculpting feces into nickelodeon-shaped games.

They had me for a hot second because I saw Into The Breach on the app store 🤩

But you can't even run the game without logging in to a Netflix account 🤮

I mean I had one, but fuck that noise I'm not cosigning on that bullshit 😤

The ending was perfect!

Thanks for a much appreciated dose of whimsy to start my day 👍

Nothing augurs success like hearing about the "incredible talent" that just went to "other teams at EA" 🙃

The original ending was a very “that’s it?” moment.

The actually added a new game-over condition, by allowing you to just shoot the annoying reaper child, to quell the frustrations people felt.

Even in the remaster is still feels like a choice between red, blue, or green color endings.

RIP Marauder Shields, the true final boss of ME3 🙏
