It's interesting how quickly multiverse stuff became a tired trope in current genre TV/film.

Lower Decks being what it is, I suspect it will be a one-off gag.

I like the cut of this guy's jib.

Yes, it's been absolute pandemonium in the streets since the CAF dress code was relaxed in 2022. Thank goodness they are addressing this very real issue that the average Canadian cares deeply about.

"Legacy" is an imaginary show. It's never been put into development, and there's no indication that will change.

Well yes, but I'm sure they could reverse the polarity of something and make it happen.

I just realized that an 800 year-old Romulan vessel would place its origin in the 2390s...

The word "easily" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Ideally, other VFX houses across the industry will follow.

The very Short Treks will feature previously announced fan-favorite characters voiced by cast members from across the Star Trek universe, including icons Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker, Doug Jones as Saru and Armin Shimerman as Quark, and a new line-up of exciting voices, including Ethan Peck as Spock, Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura, Connor Trinneer as Trip Tucker, Bruce Horak as Hemmer, Noël Wells as Tendi and the legendary George Takei as Sulu.

There are a couple of nice surprises on that list.

Available analytics have placed it at roughly the same level of demand as SNW - often slightly ahead, but close enough that I'd call it even.

Re: the transporters.

Patterns in the buffer usually degrade over time - The TNG Technical Manual says patterns can last about seven minutes before degradation begins. Obviously, Scotty was able to extend this dramatically, though with only a 50% success rate.

They did touch on this in SNW season one, when M'Benga said he had to rematerialize his daughter periodically. However, the timeframe, while not specified, seemed a helluva lot longer than seven minutes.
