So 46 episodes in total. Could have at least made it 47. 🙄

Glaub aber die sind im Stil schon auf klassische Anzüge festgelegt

Ja. Die Qualität ist auch sehr gut, aber ich habe dort eher schlechte Erfahrungen bei der Beratung gemacht. Bei Rooks&Rocks war es ein richtiges Gespräch, bei dem meine Wünsche berücksichtigt wurden; bei Kuhn hatte hatte ich hingegen eher den Eindruck, dass der Verkäufer einfach sein Programm abspult und mir irgendwas aufquatscht.

War jetzt schon mehrfach bei R&R und werde da auch in Zukunft bleiben. Zu Kuhn bringt mich so schnell nichts mehr.

Falls du Anzüge magst, gibt es genug Herrenschneider, die moderne Anzüge in "Nicht-Business-Farben" schneidern. Das sieht dann mitunter alles andere als altbacken aus. Ist natürlich nicht ganz günstig. (Persönliche Empfehlung: Rooks & Rocks, die haben dutzende (hunderte?) Muster zur Auswahl)

 

While reading I noticed that #4 and #5 connected, and then it was kinda fun "puzzling" them all together.

Interestingly the base Pixel 10 seems to have a telephoto lens.

I hope it's not just a misdirection.

Some random thoughts:

  • I like that this current era of Star Trek tries out new styles instead of simply copying the "7-ish crew members stand around on the bridge of a Starfleet ship and go on weekly adventures" formula. Some of those new styles work, others don't. Section 31 unfortunately didn't work. But this TV Movie format could be a neat way to try out new things.
  • As a lifelong Star Trek fan I liked the species they've brought back (Deltans! Cherons!) and giving the tricorders the TNG sound effect was neat too. Also, I'll have a closer look on the Federation map. I always love those canon tidbits.
  • Speaking of canon tidbits, at the end of the movie they go on a mission on Turkana IV. That's Tasha Yar's home planet on which the government breaks down sometime in the 2330s. And judging by Rachel Garret being a Lieutenant Commander she's probably still a decade or so away from commanding the Enterprise-C, so the Section 31 movie is set in 2330s. That means that Section 31 could have a hand in Turkana IV's government collapse (either causing it or trying to prevent it).
  • The characters in this movie behave just as nonsensical as the DISCO characters. They condemn Georgiou for being Literally Space Hitler but in the end they all hug and become best friends. WTF?
  • Other than that, this is a generic sci-fi action movie. If it weren't for the couple of species and namedrops, this wouldn't have any connection to Star Trek.
  • If I had a bar of gold-pressed latinum everytime they produce Star Trek movie featuring Section 31, and that movie then became the worst Star Trek movie at the time, then I had two bars of gold-pressed latinum. Which isn't a lot but it's still weird that they made that mistake twice.

Thanks for the chuckle. I needed it today.

It's fitting that Lieutenant Woof isn't in the picture.

 

For those who don't know: the Roddenberry Archive aims to preserve Star Trek by digitizing ... well, a lot of things. Currently you can already freeroam certain locations. Probably only works on Desktop PCs though.

Not only did they release their short film "Unification" today, commemorating 30 years of Star Trek Generations, (more details here) but they also added a bunch of new stuff to the Archive.

Here's a list of changes that I found so far:

I'll update this post when I find more.

My favorite little easter egg is that the LOWER DECKS font in the title card now has those blue streaks in the background. Because it's the 5th season. Just like TNG added those blue streaks in its 5th season.

By the way, that's why Ransom calls Una "the hottest First Officer in Starfleet history".

"...nice hat."

Whoever is in charge of DC's collected editions department must be an omnibus fan.

 

Just a throwback to one of the best teaser trailers ever. I get goosebumps every time I watch it.

IMO the only Star Trek trailer that comes reasonably close is the teaser trailer for the 2009 movie.

 

Excerpt:

Formula 1 says it is on track to hit its Net Zero targets by 2030 after the publication of its latest impact report that includes its carbon emissions.

The report currently includes figures from 2022 as F1 needs to await data from teams and other stakeholders from last year, but the first season that was not impacted by COVID-19 showed a 13 percent reduction in F1’s carbon footprint compared to the 2018 baseline. That’s despite the 2022 calendar featuring an extra race compared to prior to the pandemic.

The sport’s Net Zero target is a minimum of 50 percent emissions reduction versus 2018, leaving 37 percent still to be achieved by 2030.

 

rather than something separated from the main line [...] this will be something published in conjunction with the main line, part of a larger initiative that aims to spotlight DC's entire lineup. But there will not be a reboot or even a relaunch of the main line, that will remain intact and continuity (along with many creative teams) will continue on. 

So this is essentially a long-term Elseworlds or Earth-Whatever within the same shared universe?
