The Rani — and a Rani to boot.

Okay, but what's the fandom going to latch onto when they catch speculation fever, now that "X is the Rani" is off the table?

Real talk: I only know the Rani by reputation/from internet research, and would appreciate any Classic Who recommendations.

She loves a good show. I think that about covers it.

 

LoglineThe Doctor’s quest to get Belinda home to Earth leads to a space station hosting a famous song contest. But a harmless night of fun soon becomes a battle to survive.

Smith and Gillan are big stars now, so that's understandable. Arthur Darville or Jenna Coleman would have been welcome sights.

Who am I kidding, I want to see everyone...

I think of Trek Central as the "scrappy outsider" of Star Trek new sites, but I do consider them to be a reliable source, and that trademark application is certainly authentic.

We'll see if anything comes of it.

 

As this is an unannounced Star Trek series, not many details are currently known. Our first indication of this new series comes from the USPTO – United States Patent and Trademark Office. The filing details clearly list “a multimedia series featuring animation distributed via various platforms”. Additionally, another source is a casting website. This site is specifically requesting young actors and actresses for a YouTube Short Series. So it’s possible this could air on the Nick Jr. YouTube channel.

It seems Star Trek: Starfleet Scouts will be something like Disney+ and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures. This Star Wars series originally started as six shorts on YouTube before it gained a full season order. It has been an excellent success for Disney+, with two full 20+ episode seasons released and a third in production.

Based on casting information, the new animated series will focus on three 8-9-year-old friends as they go to school on an earth-like planet. The series will follow their adventures as they train to become future Starfleet explorers. This information seems like a step before Starfleet Academy. The characters of Starfleet Scouts are described as “Cool, funny, heroic, and authentic”.

But was it PROPELLED?! This is an important distinction, which is why the rule book spends so much time on it...

 

The most significant change will add protections for defenceless receivers. A 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down will now be called when a hit is delivered at or below the knees of a player who is in the act of catching a pass while in a vulnerable position. This protection does not exist if the receiver leaves his feet and jumps while catching the pass.

Hopefully they'll just let it go - the Jets don't need any distractions.

I think it's worth mentioning, assuming the National is a respectable publication (I really don't know my UK media).

Yeah, it's like how I try not to begrudge YouTubers who make those thumbnails, no matter how much they enrage me.

The BBC’s announcement came during the second semi-final, reportedly just minutes after Israel’s entrant Yuval Raphael qualified for the final.

Are they trying to draw a connection here, and if so, does it hold any weight?

I had never heard that "Father's Day" had been set to be an unplanned Doctor-lite episode.
