The Tribeca Festival premiere of season three is over, and reviews are starting to trickle in.

They're likely to be pretty light on spoilers, but let's keep them confined to this thread all the same.

 

I'm not typically a fan of participating in the rumour mill, but (a) this guy is fairly level-headed and not a crackpot, and (b) thanks to recent events...this is where we are now.

Anyways, this all seems pretty plausible to me. Thoughts?

~~If you're interested in the article, you could try, y'know, reading it.~~

Edit: I was being a bit of a dumb-dumb.

Like the article says, the early seasons are often given short shrift due to what comes later, but there's some great stuff in there.

Noel Clarke - scandal noted - is quite good in a pretty thankless role.

BC @ WPG

Wow, that was an interesting one. It was looking like the Bombers had BC's number up until that fantastic Lions drive at the end of the first half. After that, it felt like anything could happen.

I thought the Bombers' defensive line was pretty good overall, despite giving up a couple of real big opportunities to the Lions. Streveler was a pleasant surprise - we'd have to see more, but this was a really promising start for him, especially his passing game.

Very unfortunate injuries on both sides - hopefully Oliveira and Rourke are both back in action before too long.

Lastly...any game in which a single is scored is a good one in my books (do not quote me on this).

It's overshadowed by the road games, but he did rack up two shutouts in the Dallas series.

Exile can be self-imposed. Nothing sinister intended.

Oh, I didn't think for a second that they were "given".

They actually got Rick Moranis - he really has come out of his retirement/exile.

Huh. That's an unexpectedly complicated rights package. I would have expected Disney to have distribution rights to all new franchise series, or at least first-look rights.

I mean, I think the Kurtzman era has been quite successful, but he's had the job for quite a while now. It's possible he'll choose to move on once his contract is up.

But yeah, with Paramount in such a state of upheaval...nothing surprises me any more.

Paramount+ today announced that the fan-favorite original series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fifth and final six-episode season ahead of the third season premiere this summer.

Huh...
