I don't think anything he's talking about in the video is particularly unique to the way TV production was 30 years ago.

From what I understand, the showrunner was secretly fired in 2017, but they just can't stop him from showing up to work!

 

I had some time to fill yesterday, so I decided to check out The Star Trek Academy. It's a Trek podcast co-hosted by an ethics professor and a college professor. They cover Trek, both old and new, doing quick recaps, and then digging in to both what they thought of the episode's execution and its themes and messages.s execution and its themes and messages.

It's arguably a little dry, but engaging, and the episodes clock in at anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes.

AAnd hey, they can be found on Mastodon - always nice to see!

If you're looking for a slightly more academic take on Star Trek, they're worth a listen. They can be found on any podcast app - the Spotify link is just the one that they seem to promote.

Kate Mulgrew has a very unique confidence about her in the role, it's a lot of fun.

I dunno, for all the noise around the show, the response from people who are actually watching the thing seems pretty darned positive. Time will tell.

It was always going to be a coin flip, at best. They're both great teams.

The Brits seemed to be in full control going into the ninth, and it was theirs to lose.

And they did, with some critical errors that completely changed the momentum of the game.

Tough Olympics for her, but it's good to see her get a medal.

There was a beautiful expression that Alex [Kurtzman] gave me. Being in his Khionians form is like exhaling. So to be in his skin is to breathe. And this wedding does not feel like a place where Darem can breathe. I think this is a pinnacle point of something that Darem had actually been running away from his whole life. He says at the start of the episode, “I thought I had more time.” I thought I could go and explore an adventure for a few years and then come back to my responsibilities. For me, how I made sense of it was Darem can’t breathe here. This is not a free place for Darem to be.

That's...a very thoughtful way to address what looked to be like a budget-saving measure.

I didn't claim otherwise.

To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.
