Glitches in the video aside, this is pretty interesting. I'll try to replace it with the corrected version when it becomes available.
Edit: fixed!
Perhaps "urban" is the wrong word, but it ain't exactly Cestus III, y'know?
As someone who's not familiar with the LA area, it blows my mind that those things are basically in the middle of an urban area.
Thank you for sharing - we appreciate any and all first-person accounts of events!
I have to admit, when they first announced the Fan Fest Nights, my initial reaction was that it sounded like it would be kind of cheap and disappointing. But it seems like they did a really nice job of the Trek event, along with some of the others that I've read about (especially Back to the Future).
Full credit to their fans for starting an initiative to donate $55 to the True North Foundation, though. Very classy, and worthy of mention.
So is the protowarp merely a more powerful version of the warp drive?
That was my takeaway - it's got the power to propel the ship (much) higher into the warp 9.9XXXXX range.
It was a tough one, especially under the circumstances. It's a shame they dug themselves into such a deep hole in the series.
I notice that they didn’t explicitly mention the ESC by name once in the episode. did they have difficulty getting the rights to that?
Probably - it makes me think of how UNIT no longer refers to the United Nations.
how Kid got into the station in the first place.
I assume he had a ticket. Hellions may be marginalized, but it seemed like they are treated poorly, rather than legally segregated from society.
they’re making bigeneration a general thing
There's no such thing!
In fairness, they brought him back twice in season two - once as a dancing Klingon, no less.
You have to admire the commitment.
Perusing the stories about this on the official website and Radio Times, it's frustrating and concerning that they're (a) not giving the actual release date for some reason, and (b) not saying whether it will go up on YouTube like the other episodes of Unleashed have this season.
