If anything, Lower Decks has intentionally lifted some 7-note sequences from the TAS title theme.
The title theme for Lower Decks almost does a bait and switch riff of the TAS one.
Yea that was TOS.
It’s pretty odd that an NBCUniversal event is bringing two Paramount Global fandoms (D&D, Star Trek).
What about the option of the original black and white recording of ‘The Cage’ with the colour portions from ‘The Menagerie’ spliced in, as released to videotape in thr 80s?
That was the real Star Trek. Roddenberry even took it to cons in the 70s and 80s to let fans know what he really wanted to put on the air.
No joke, and the story has legs internationally regrettably.
This isn’t 10 or 15 years ago when global stock video clips were just taking off standard resource in ad company toolboxes.
I’m not unhappy that Starfleet Academy has been holding back on callbacks of Discovery legacy characters.
As we saw with DS9, sometimes it’s better to let the new characters have some time to establish themselves and settle down before confronting them with former main cast legacies. Otherwise, what’s intended to help a new show get established can sometimes do the opposite.
Can anyone really cite a first season major legacy character appearance that boosted a new show and is considered a strong entry in hindsight?
The only one that comes to mind for me is Riker and Troi’s appearance in ‘Nepenthe’ in season one of Picard.
I bought season two of Prodigy in Canada from AppleTV, but am super frustrated.
Season one continues to be available in the CTV app for CTV Sci-fi subscribers, but I am really wondering about what the value of that subscription is.
There still are a few new shows (SurrealEstate, The Ark, SNW) that I watch, but they remove some new shows from the app super quickly. We have to record them in the PVR or by physical media as soon as it’s out.
This is also raising questions of foreign interference/influence in democratic process.
In Canada, the federal Elections Commissioner has been called on to investigate the source of bot campaigns for the leading opposition party: Online bot campaign backing Pierre Pollievre prompts call for probe.
I found it interesting that in recent articles quoting Kate Mulgrew on her conditions for Janeway to return in live action, the thing she most stressed was that she had told Alex Kurtzman that the quality of the writing would have to be meticulous.
She’s very happy with the writing for Janeway in Prodigy but sounds like she needs to be convinced that it would be the same in live action.
I have thought ‘Move Along Home’ was great since first broadcast.
DS9 hadn’t yet locked into its eventual tone, but I hold to my view that it’s an episode that wouldn’t have raised the ire of the ‘Dignity of Trek’ on just about any of the other shows in the franchise.
It’s here in Canada on digital via AppleTV.
@Nmyownworld@startrek.website spotted Murf in the poster in the promotional announcement for Star Trek Day.
Nmyownworld’s mention on the Star Trek Day thread was great, but I thought it would be great to amplify it. So here is the image with the colour intensity dialed up a bit and Murf circled to be easier to spot.
StarTrek Prodigy Lives!!!
