Celia’s hair for the panel suggests they’re evolving Uhura’s style in season five towards the one in TOS.
Which is interesting because Celia really wanted to avoid wigs and keep a natural hairstyle.
I’m wondering what kind of hair Jess will have for Chappel in the final season.
There are a bunch of the perennial brigading naysayers on other platforms already venting that this young Klingon is too skinny/lanky.
Seems that they never saw Tony Todd as Kurn or considered that TALL is an important Klingon physical characteristic.
This comes across as gatekeeping…
— from the perspective of someone who’s been watching Trek since the 1960s and has seen the same old ‘ahem, not Trek, it’s stealing from …’ chestnuts since TAS was announced, I am alway surprised how little older fans recognize that Trek has ALWAYS adapted other media (movies, television, radio plays, Shakespeare!) into its episodes.
Sigh.
Ok, perhaps I should just power through SG season one and see if I can get into it.
BSG definitely is very late 70s American but, as a Canadian, I find Buck Rogers even worse. I don’t think I made it through two or three episodes at most.
I would definitely put Farscape ahead of the others because it’s had such a profound impact on the creators and writers of other space opera shows since its run, including newer Star Trek.
Babylon 5 is very good if one skips all but the ‘must see episodes’ of season one. The original principal actor suffered a major health crisis between the pilot and the first season. His wooden, not present performance, really damages that season but the other actors and show is very much worth the effort to watch around that.
I would also throw some 1970s classics in to the mix if OP enjoyed TOS. Space 1999 is definitely worth a watch, especially season one. BSG, the original, is a fun ride.
For a show that’s ambitious and appallingly bad all at once, but that features some classic Trek actors and writers, ‘The Starlost’ is a hoot. It really deserves to be purposed for memes.
I can honestly say that I have tried to get into SG1 several times but it never sticks. (I really liked the movie though.). I started again recently and drifted away in the middle of season one.
I’m also thinking about the massive CRA data breach for electronic filers - it’s not a decade since that happened.
Uhm, didn’t physicist David Keith of Harvard, better know for his work on carbon capture, do something like this in the early 1990s in building the early atom interferometers?
He didn’t pursue the development as the applications were military at that time but my recollection was that he created a lab bench sized generator.
They’re making sure they’ll hit the February sweeps for advertiser data (which weirdly remain a thing in the streaming era).
Perhaps the new ownership are going to give the franchise more of a chance to thrive.
Never any notes on the SNW costumes.
The global trailer is available an an embed on the official site.

The Starfleet Academy trailer doesn’t seem to be available on YouTube in Canada yet and isn’t on StarTrek.com.
Sigh.
Or, at the YouTube links provided in other posts here.
Exclusive footage is being blacked out by the content owner.
So, I guess we’ll need to wait until the featurettes show up on StarTrek.com?
New footage

And SNW and Starfleet Academy cast and producers.
GO!!!
Al the moreso since Paramount offered nothing this year for Star Trek Day in September.
And we’re all waiting.
Not so patiently.
The most simple acronym would be SA. It’s unfortunately the acronym for so many different things that it wouldn’t have a difficult time establishing an identity with and for the who.
If the VOY, ENT and DIS precedent were followed, some have proposed ACA since STA for Star could fit any of the shows. (I have seen ACA in the wild on other social media.)
The quibble with SFA is that Starfleet is one word not two and it’s unprecedented to go with the first letter in a syllable to get the designation.
For what it’s worth, SA seems to be what Memory Alpha has landed on. It’s designating article stubs for the show as ‘SA Performers’ etc.
Not sure I’m entirely comfortable with SFA as the acronym for Starfleet Academy.
But all the alternatives I have seen would be worse.
It seems more that Larry Ellison is giving his adult children amounts of money to invest to learn how to run businesses.
Amounts that for most others would be an inheritance in themselves are less than a year’s interest on Larry’s overall fortune.
David and his sister both started out with a certain amount.
His sister’s firm got into financial difficulties so Larry appointed a co head and hasn’t invested more.
David made his investment in creating Skydance profitable and so his father is investing more.
It’s a better solution than Trump taking his cut of the inheritance and bankrupting it, and then getting full control and bankrupting again.
That’s not to say even so that Larry isn’t taking advantage of the CBS part of the purchase to reshape its news to his own vision.
