Dang, that is a solid lineup.

Frain played Sarek on Discovery - he was played by the late Ben Cross (who was also very good) in the Kelvin films.

Yeah, it seems he may have thought he was free to speak, and been very mistaken.

But here's a screengrab!

Bakula on "Quantum Leap"

Eve Harlow on "Agents of SHIELD"

That's generally been my opinion, too - two great tastes that likely wouldn't taste great together.

But for the sake of arguing with myself, they were able to make the SNW/LD crossover work, and that arguably has just as much tonal whiplash, if not more, despite the shared setting.

That ship has decidely sailed, with both franchises on the space rocks at the moment.

I strongly disagree with the first three points (not yours, I know) - especially in the TOS era - but I do agree it doesn't quite feel the way I want it to.

That Sybock thing demands follow-up, for sure.

They just have to make sure none of the eventual TOS cast meet him...

I think it's Celia Gooding in unusual makeup, but how fun would it be to give Spock some Burnham closure?

It's an interesting batch of games in development right now - a survival(?) psychological horror entry, a city-builder, and this.

IGN ain't what it used to be

 

The artifact was sold to the Weston and Thomson families for $18 million after the fur-trading-company-turned-department-store's collapse last year. Within 24 hours of the December purchase, they donated it to the Manitoba Museum, the Archives of Manitoba, the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Que., and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Ont.

"Star Trek isn't this, except when it is" is a pretty shaky foundation for an argument, though.

 

Among the other sessions will be a conversation with actress Jeri Ryan, known for her role in the Star Trek universe, about contemporary female role models in TV and in science fiction in particular, plus a chat between Zucker and Nicholas Meyer, director of several Star Trek films. The festival will also host a special preview screening of an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The fourth season of the series will debut, following the event, on July 23, on Paramount+.
