Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

Tragically, I’m pretty sure that particular piece of memorabilia was included in a previous auction. I’m not prepared to go out of my way to find proof, though.
Even so, I’m surprised there are no Starfleet phasers, tricom badges, and the like.
The stellar irony here is that in the Star Trek universe, the United Federation of Planets is a post-scarcity, post-capitalist society where money is obsolete and its enlightened citizens work instead for self-improvement and the betterment of humanity. Hautlence didn’t get this memo, as each Retrovision ’64 will retail for an out-of-this-world $165,000. Only three ardent Trekkies will be able to get one, though, as that’s all that will be made.
I agree that it’s mainly BBC news (not to be confused with BBC News), but it’s perfectly reasonable for a DW fan to wonder what, if anything, it could mean for the show - especially when the future is so murky.
I do believe the show will be fine, but shit is messy right now.
Sounds like it’s a matter of their distribution license expiring.
I’ll join the chorus of people recommending it - it’s a lot of fun.
Well, it technically was - they were just given enough runway to wrap it up.
But season 5 will just be six episodes.
To be clear, it’s been in place for three years.
Correct!
YouTube is taxed under the act, and Google has vocally opposed it.
The Technical Manual explanation is that replicators save storage space by using statistical averaging techniques in the molecular patterns, resulting in single-bit “errors” that some people swear they can taste.
I don’t really get his position on this issue.
“This notion that somehow we’ve got these large U.S. companies that don’t contribute has just never been factual. The reality is these companies have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on film and television production in Canada,” Geist said.
Geist said he’s comfortable with regulations around discoverability, ensuring platforms better promote Canadian content, but ultimately he’d like to see the free market operate like a free market.
I think that woefully underestimates the effects of American dominance in the entertainment landscape, and would only serve to ensure that Canada becomes even more of a place for Hollywood to outsource their own productions, while stifling home-grown content.
According to the Canada Media Fund’s website, an applicant (generally the producer) must be Canadian “and have full creative and financial control over all aspects of the project, from development through production and exploitation.”
I don’t want to give false hope, because I really don’t think it’s going to happen, but “dismantled” doesn’t necessarily have to mean “destroyed.”
It’d be nice if they kept some of the larger pieces, if only to put on display or something.
There’s certainly a lot of pressure to move productions back to California right now.
Then again, they do own (one of) the buildings in Toronto, and Canada isn’t likely stop being an attractive place to make sci-fi any time soon.
The bigger question is likely the “if it happens” bit.
Seven’s bisexuality was definitely an invention of “Picard” (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
In Mariner’s case, I wouldn’t be surprised if her bisexuality was intended from the beginning.
You know what they say - fake news is good news!
That’d be a provincial survey, not a federal one.
Yeah, it seems like even the old partners might be reluctant, having lost the rights once before.
But we need a lot of time and much deeper ties before we’d jump into eu membership.
Yeah, it’s very easy to be “open” to the idea. I’m interested myself, but I know next to nothing about what the effects of that sort of integration would be.
I always felt like Amazon might be the natural streaming partner.
But maybe they’re just going back to the original status quo of regional streaming rights, without a single global partner?
Let’s not expect miracles…
