New issue of #StarTrek Explorer magazine shows Captain Burnham in all her glory on the cover and includes an exclusive interview with Sonequa! #StarTrekDiscovery
Remember that time where #StarTrekDiscovery clarified there are a bunch of different mirror universes, not just the one? I want the crew to get transported to the place that considers the prime universe to be their evil doppels.
The Lower Decks mobile game is celebrating Discovery this weekend. Yay!
I really hope there will be more in the coming months with more characters being added.
My only regret in starting Boyf with season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery (with recaps so he was all caught up beforehand) is that he will never know the sheer villainous Majesty of Lorca or Leland/LelandControl.
I kinda loved hating those guys.
Jason Isaacs and Alan van Sprang really Understood The Assignment - and ran with it.
I'm doing a #StarTrekEnterprise rewatch since I have only watched it once before. I don't think it deserves the negative reputation it holds. Yeah, there are issues but it still does something new with Trek that wasn't just "more TNG".
One thing that has really jumped out at me is how many episodes are allowed to just do their own thing, only to be revisited if that idea is popular. With 24 full length episodes each season, you kinda have to do that. #StarTrekPicard, #StarTrekDiscovery, and #StrangeNewWorlds aren't written that way. That makes them much higher risk/reward propositions.
I usually prefer that kind of narrative structure but Enterprise made me see there is a downside to it too. The episode "North Star" wouldn't appear in most Trek shows today. It's a Western about the crew discovering a human colony who was abducted by aliens 300 years ago then overthrew their abductors to make a space Wild West town without technology. I had no idea that the actors or director could pull that kind of thing off but it's one of the best Enterprise episodes even though it doesn't advance the plot at all. It's just a detour to be weird based on sets they had access to.
Where's the Discovery pyjama merch when you need it? My school's carnival motto this year is "pyjama" and that one would be perfect! :blobcatgooglywtf:
This is the build I focused on for most of the long lockdown of 2020. It began with the #SaucerSection which I'd always planned to build to minifigure/playset scale. As time passed I expanded to the rest of the ship, bulk-buying parts online as I went. If you zoom in you will see the scale of the #Minifigures in the various sections...
#StarTrekDiscovery Season 5 premieres this April, and the first synopsis for Ep501 ‘Red Directive’ has arrived:
“Capt Burnham & the Discovery are sent to retrieve a mysterious 800 year-old Romulan vessel; until the artifact hidden inside is stolen, leading to an epic chase. Meanwhile, Saru is offered the position of a lifetime, and Tilly’s efforts to help pull her into a tangled web of secrecy.”
Paramount will show the premiere of #StarTrekDiscovery's fifth and final season at the upcoming SXSW in Austin, Texas! Disco will show as part of the festival's 'TV Spotlight' event, screening info TBA.
