I think the Terran arc of 2021-2023 was high-quality, even though I didn't find it as engaging as the Klingon Civil War had been. We've already talked about the latest arc being relatively underwhelming, but at the same time, I think the episodes have been well-made, and I assume they were done under the watchful eyes of the Cryptic Old Guard.

Next year will truly tell the tale of what DECA is going to do.

The one thing that gives me any hope at all is that Star Trek is pretty popular in Germany...but with everything else that's going on, it's still a pretty faint hope.

If I were to make predictions (foolish!), I would say...

  • The game will probably soldier on for a significant period of time.

  • It will probably be in a "zombie" state, not unlike that of Champions Online (as I understand it, I don't really play that game).

  • We're closer to STO's end than its beginning.

It's interesting how quickly multiverse stuff became a tired trope in current genre TV/film.

Lower Decks being what it is, I suspect it will be a one-off gag.

The wording is vague, but I think there's a chance it will be the complete set, or as close to it as possible.

They built the whole thing for the show, so hopefully they had the good sense to keep it all.

 

In addition to the recently announced news that the U.S.S. Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation would be featured as part of Universal Fan Fest Nights, Universal Studios Hollywood has revealed that the actual bridge set piece featured in the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard will be a major component of the experience, inviting guests and fans to enjoy a unique opportunity to see it as part of this all-new event.

I think I'll go with Narnia. It wouldn't be boring.

Yeah, it's just sort of...meandering.

I think I have a bit of Borg fatigue, and also multiverse fatigue, which does not help.

 

I'm just wondering if there are any theories as to what's going on with the Aetherians.

It seems pretty obvious that there's a shoe yet to drop, but what is it?

My personal theory is that they themselves are a multiversal Borg variant, at war with all the others.

Obviously a priority issue.

This is a Florida joke waiting to happen.

Oh, also:

My initial reaction was about how stupid it is to open a theme park attraction themed around a series that's been cancelled, but then I thought about how this thing must've been in the works for several years, and now I just feel sad for the people who worked on it.

hoping his character’s death – in the full context – would make more narrative sense.

Chabon had some lovely and interesting things to say about self-sacrifice being the ultimate expression of the individuality Hugh spent his life working toward, but unfortunately I didn't think any of that came through in the final product.
