Star Trek Social Club

A poll on Mastodon: what's the overlap between fans of Star Trek and fans of the sci fi genre of solarpunk?

It's a pretty small update - the project is still in the very early stages:

And last week at the premiere when pressed on their progress, Kurtzman confirmed he had “not yet” seen scripts, noting “They’re just breaking story.” The executive producer also said he speaks to them about the project regularly, adding “I mean, I adore both of them so much, they’re so fantastic, and I trust them a lot.”

Various ticket packages are available (which mainly include access to the park itself). Tickets start at $74 (Sunday dates), $79 (Friday dates) and $84 (Saturday dates).

If you are interested in cosplaying, the website has a list of restrictions. The ones I noted that would apply to Trekkies are no phasers, no balloons (I saw a person with balloons at STLV), or service animals in costume/part of costume (I saw this too at STLV). So please read the list before dressing up.

"So ultimately, I feel like what we’re saying is that in order for Starfleet and that beautiful vision that Roddenberry had of this optimistic utopia, in order for that vision to exist, in order for the light to exist, you need people who operate in the shadows."

Alex Kurtzman continues to prove that he fundamentally does not understand the property that he's helming, yet again making me want to puke

Yeoh's full quote:

I mean, this is like a dream come true. You know, I've been wanting to do this for so long. Even before Star Trek: Discovery was launched, I sent to Alex Kurtzman and said, ”Got to do the spin-off, got to do the follow-up on Georgiou.” This is one of the most intriguing and sophisticated characters who isn't dark, in the light, you know? You never know she's coming or going, or whether she's gonna cut your legs off.

Interesting essay written by Greece's former finance minister and leftist economist.

It looks like the embargo on Section 31 reviews has lifted, so feel free to use this thread to link to reviews, so the main feed doesn't get too cluttered with them.
