The pass, which launches on Friday, doesn't require registration or a physical card. Instead, the benefits will be available upon arrival at parks, national museums and when booking train tickets. Canadians and foreign tourists are eligible.
It's not really a "pass" then, but cool.
Heck, it was pretty much Goldsman's pitch:
In the first pitch document that we sent to the network… we opened with a question asking, “What if we just did Star Trek?” And they said, “Okay.” Every day in the writers’ room, we try to imagine how would Gene Roddenberry and his team make The Original Series if they were doing it today?
For those following along, it's the season two finale, not the season three premiere.
JAKE: Maybe we'd better go back to the station for help.
NOG: Good idea. Computer, fly us back to the station.
COMPUTER: Please restate command.
JAKE: Computer, disengage autopilot and lay in a course back to the wormhole.
COMPUTER: Enter authorisation code.
It's clunky, but it sounds like the "autopilot" is what's keeping them locked in orbit of the planet, and they're trying to break out of that pattern.
Exile can be self-imposed. Nothing sinister intended.
Paramount+ today announced that the fan-favorite original series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fifth and final six-episode season ahead of the third season premiere this summer.
Huh...
I think the word "shuttle" could plausibly be applied to long-range, low-capacity transports - maybe even something as large as the USS Raven.
Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore?
I just assume they've fixed that issue.
According to most calculators I can see online, we're looking at about a month at warp 5, or around 15 days at warp 6. I think a traditional "shuttle" wouldn't be up to the task - you'd want a vessel with bunks and space to walk around, at the very least.
Defederation isn't the only option listed there - the other options can be, and have been, deployed across a number of instances that are still otherwise federated.
The Mega Bloks license ended in 2018. BlueBrixx was 2021-2024.
I think Goldsman's actual statement is pretty vague - he could easily mean a spinoff with the non-TOS cast. Just redress the sets and you're off to the races.
He could also mean a movie, or...some third thing.
And in any case, he's moving on with his career.
It's cool that they're excited about possibilities, but I remain very skeptical that there's any actual traction there.
