We still need the Doctor and Vic Fontaine doing a version of "Anything You Can Do."
Star Trek General Discussion
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
Is Vic still alive?
LOL!
I shared this in the 'Legos/Bricks" thread:
Managed to obtain 7 (out of 12) of the "Wave 1" Star Trek Kreons from a auction I stumbled upon.
What I've yet to share there was what I picked up at a con this weekend:
This thing looks more like the Ambassador Class than the "Fat One". And the Picard it comes with is so Hideous!

I had wondered for years in the 90s and hadn't thought in a long time to see if information was available. I learned today what many here probably already know. Nick Locarno WAS supposed to be on Voyager and they changed him to Tom Paris at the last minute to get out of paying royalties to a writer of "The First Duty" every time Nick was in an episode of Voyager.
From the start, they did a flimsy job of changing him. But I also learned today that Admiral Paris had a picture of Nick Locarno on his desk and a character once referred to Tom getting kicked out of the Academy and Tom has the grace not to correct them. He graduated the academy and made a mistake as a young officer that got someone killed and covered it up and got caught and got kicked out of Starfleet. It was Nick Locarno that made a mistake as a cadet that got someone killed and covered it up and got caught and got kicked out of the Academy.

An Academy series was always an iffy prospect given they’ve been trying for decades to get one off the ground. Setting it in everyone least favorite setting means they want to see it fail.
I keep wondering/hoping they’re going to retroactively NOT have the Federation explode because a child cried (making all the hard work Picard, Mariner, Pike, etc and others are doing to save/help/expand it utterly meaningless) but they really seem ready to die on that hill :/

But after the TCW, time travel is banned! Totally impossible, never happens, couldn't possibly come up as a plot device. Except for the time we heard about that, which is when it came up as a plot device, and presumably an unlimited number of other only times XD
I don't like Discovery and most of what it has accomplished, but the Burn did not make all the other shows meaningless. The things they explore are still explored and the people they meet are still met. The Federation is springing back because of all the foundations that had been set before.

Starfleet Academy is not going to visit a new world every week and meet a new culture and technology every week. Is this just going to be a teen drama?
In SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
(But not)
The Discovery time period isn't compelling for me at all, so I can't see myself checking this out.
I didn't catch that it was set in the Discovery Future era. Oh well, it could be still be neat.
