I’m not sure if someone was trying to figure out ways to increase their profitability to avoid getting bought out, or if they were trying to increase their value to make buying them out a more attractive deal, or what… but there was definitely a whole lot of “wtf are they thinking?” moves at Paramount, just as there were at HBO a year or so ago.

They were definitely flinging options at walls to try to get some kind of effect. But they were doing it with no apparent rhyme nor reason, at least to us out here.

I suspect we’ll see another round of readjustments if/when Skydance gets their merger handled. I suspect there’s people over there just chomping at the bit to get their hands deep in some Trek productions.

I couldn’t locate this specific one on Amazon or Paramount, but fortunately i had a local copy :D

Hey, birthday twin!!!

I’d guess Zora didn’t want to run the DOTs to clean things up anymore

that… looks like it was a 480p source, playing on a 720 display.

On rewatch, I wonder if he was on the way to suggesting someone like Book when he was interrupted

Agree with this, it seemed like he was using Book for context, not for a real suggestion. Saru respects what Booker has done for everyone, but I don’t think he’s a real big fan of the guy, and certainly doesn’t think he should be the XO of a Federation ship.

I could be wrong, though

I’m told that’s Bigfoot with a hat on.

hmm. fwiw, if this message doesn’t appear on one’s home instance, you can click the multicolored star looking thing to see it on the originating instance.

Trek regularly makes judgment calls on specific topics – racism is bad, violence is bad when there’s an alternative.

Refer to Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, and try again.

I think in that particular case, it’s quite fine to pass judgment that this was a very bad thing.
