Frain played Sarek on Discovery - he was played by the late Ben Cross (who was also very good) in the Kelvin films.

Yeah, it seems he may have thought he was free to speak, and been very mistaken.

But here’s a screengrab!

Bakula on “Quantum Leap”

Eve Harlow on “Agents of SHIELD”

That’s generally been my opinion, too - two great tastes that likely wouldn’t taste great together.

But for the sake of arguing with myself, they were able to make the SNW/LD crossover work, and that arguably has just as much tonal whiplash, if not more, despite the shared setting.

That ship has decidely sailed, with both franchises on the space rocks at the moment.

I strongly disagree with the first three points (not yours, I know) - especially in the TOS era - but I do agree it doesn’t quite feel the way I want it to.

That Sybock thing demands follow-up, for sure.

They just have to make sure none of the eventual TOS cast meet him…

I think it’s Celia Gooding in unusual makeup, but how fun would it be to give Spock some Burnham closure?

It’s an interesting batch of games in development right now - a survival(?) psychological horror entry, a city-builder, and this.

IGN ain’t what it used to be

At this rate, we’re likely to outlive Star Trek itself!

“Star Trek isn’t this, except when it is” is a pretty shaky foundation for an argument, though.

It seems like they don’t mean “bolder” so much as “more mainstream”.

I’m not necessarily opposed to that, but I also like the oddball, niche games of the last few years (short-lived as they’ve been).

Okay, this could be my kind of game. Will have to check out the demo.

It’s worth noting that they had scaled Ro’s makeup back considerably by her final TNG appearance:

And how many Bajorans want to risk an encounter with ICE?

It’s technically not canon anyway, and I don’t really like it as an explanation, since we don’t see variable-geometry nacelles on other ships of the era.

Best to assume they solved the subspace damage problem through some other means, IMO.

It’s all in past tense until he shows up in the flesh.

“Emissary”: How about letting me cook dinner for you tonight? My father was a gourmet chef. I will make for you his famous aubergine stew.

“A Man Alone”: Every night in my house, my dad insisted that we have supper together as a family. He would try out his new recipes on us. He used to call us his test tasters.

“The Alternate”: When my father became ill, I can remember how small and weak he looked lying there in the bed. He’d been so strong, so independent. It always seemed to me there was nothing that he couldn’t do. But in the end, I realised that there was nothing that he could do, and nothing I could do to help him.

“Paradise”: Well, my father was a chef. He grew all his own vegetables. My brothers and I were sent out to the gardens every day.

And sci-fi is the first against the wall.

Obviously you’re going to keep the facility where you keep their most hardened criminals in plain sight.
