McMahan has previously tried to garner support for a LD movie, live action at that, but there’s nothing to suggest that it’s been greenlit. If anything, we may have gotten LD S5 instead.

"There's every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future"

I'm reading this to mean that the S31 movie is coming out sometime this summer. Between Discovery and Lower Decks. After October or so doesn't sound 'very neat future' to me.

I'm also not reading much into the 'trying to figure out' how to get the movies to the big screen. We know that S31 will be a P+ exclusive. Regardless of if it's because of some preexisting contract with what was CBS All Access when the original project got green lit all those years ago or because S31's lore leans too heavily on S1-3 Discovery to stand on its own, S31 was never going to be in major theaters.

The purported Picard, Kelvin 4, or even the pitched Lower Decks movies? Those are probably going to actually be in theaters.

Programming to feature Star Trek: Discovery's fifth season premiere and Star Trek: Strange New World's musical episode sing-along!

Wondercon is March 29th through the 31st.

TBH, it feels a little barebones…. But with Picard finished, Academy in very early development, Prodigy out of Paramount’s hands, and Lower Decks expected for late 2024… there really isn’t much else they can bring to the plate, aside from maybe the S31 movie.

I enjoyed this interview. We learn that there's some things even he doesn't know, and also questioned, some behind the scenes head cannoning, and enough bait to keep us questioning what'll happen, but not enough to spoil anything of substance.

Now this. THIS is an interview. A lot of fun ideas, stealing props, and just good natured nonsense.

Through a valued partnership between Propstore Ltd. and CBS Studios Inc., an amicable agreement among all parties involved has been reached to restore Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation captain’s chair to the Star Trek Archive,” a statement on Propstore’s website now reads. “The chair will be preserved as a piece of science fiction history. While the whereabouts of the chair had been unknown for three decades, the Star Trek Archive is currently working on plans to showcase it for Star Trek fans to see firsthand in the coming year.

I had the Starfleet Academy game… waaaaay ahead of its time… as in the hardware really couldn’t handle 3D combat.

I wish the actors were cleared to reveal little things… otherwise these interviews are just barely interactive NDAs.

This just makes me sad that we’ll probably never see the Rogue Leader games ever again

Huh… I wonder if the Borg Corgi is a homage to the “Ensign Sue Must Die” saga, which featured a Borg Beagle.

I remember playing this on the Wii, it felt like, going in, it was a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie with Mario Sunshine mechanics, and a threat to the existence of Kingdom Hearts.

Then I played the game, and my impressions sank.

The morality system was, IMO, poorly balanced. Trying to do good is excessively tedious, and it’s easy to accidentally do evil (Oswald’s kids, anyone?) Then you decide you’re not having fun finding all of Mecha-Goof’s parts, and decide to come back to that collectathon later, only to find that you’re locked out of that and have to pay a ransom instead.

I really hope this version is more than just a new coat of paint.

It still burns that Prodigy was barely included in the tribute to Trek animation.
