Deadline is actually an American Hollywood/entertainment industry trade outlet, so it's definitely not a Canadian thing.
Weird metaphor to have in your style guide, though.
Rosalind Lear appears to be hiding some kind of alternative motivation for investigating into Khan and Ceti Alpha
I didn't find this surprising in the sense that she's seemed...biased, to say the least. But the scene with Tuvok was nice, even though in the moment I was wondering if it was Lear or Delmonda that was meant to be the liar. Context suggests it's her, though.
The song the young augments were listening to was Your Touch released in 2021.
Interesting. I wonder if it's a favourite of Kirsten Beyer or something - I'm a little surprised that they went to the effort of clearing a pop song of any kind.
Khan’s odd mercy towards him
I see it as a means to an end - looking like he's living up to his end of the bargain with Delmonda. A dangerous game to be playing, though.
the inevitable loss of McGiven’s to the Ceti Eel.
I know this is consistent with the film, but part of me wishes she had met her demise more directly as a result of some choice that Khan made, if only to reinforce just how foolish she had been to join his little cult in the first place.
The way they've been talking, it sounds like they're playing with the idea that Kirk seemed pretty comfortable on the Enterprise in his first episodes, so there may be unseen stories to be told before TOS season one.
Yeah...it would be nice if they could give it a permanent home, or maybe do a touring exhibit.
Paramount got rid of its theme park division back in 2006, but is some Prodigy(!) content at a theme park in Turkey, and there were plans for a Paramount park in China that included Trek content, but I have no idea if it's still in the works.
It was temporary, after regular park hours - they had a bunch of IPs that aren't normally part of Universal.
They're already planning one for next year, but details on what it will entail are scarce.
As the series continues, I find I'm a lot more interested in the worldbuilding than the story itself.
There's a lot of cool stuff in there - I hadn't considered the fact that Khan and his people were unfamliar with Federation technology, and the fact that McGivers uses that to her advantage is a lot of fun. I enjoy listening to them go about the day-to-day business of survival - maybe it's the Naveen Andrews of it all, but it reminds me of the first season of "Lost".
The framing story continues to be pretty irrelevant, but it's nice to hear them diving into the burning questions surrounding TWOK. How could the Enterprise crew have missed the fact that one of the planets in the system was about to go critical? How could the Reliant crew not have not noticed a missing planet upon their return? Now that these questions have been raised, I assume answers will be provided...
we don’t have the technology or the expertise to perform the procedure here
I would say this is the part that's unreasonable. Being the only G7 country unable to perform proton beam treatments isn't exactly a point of pride.
Sure, I think the key is balance in all things. I absolutely loathed the third season of "Picard", but I'm not going to jump into every conversation about it I see just for the sake of saying so.
But if it makes sense, and is relevant...I might, if I feel like it. There's room to talk about what you disliked about something, and why. It just shouldn't be your entire personality, y'know?
I think it's completely possible to enjoy a flawed creation.
And in this case, I think La'An's story this season was fairly strong, even though it was heavily (if not entirely) tied to her relationship with Spock.
Ortegas got an entire episode devoted to her, but the criticism about her experience with the Gorn being largely overlooked prior to that is completely fair.
Uhura certainly had less to do, and I think Una was pretty short-changed this season.
She sort of sidestepped the question in the interview...my answer would be "no, but who cares if the story's any good?"
Interestingly, I see someone at Memory Alpha has been incorporating stuff from the first two episodes into related pages...we'll see if that sticks.
