Always an important reminder.

More Star Trek is good, & like Lower Decks and Prodigy, which are also designed to appeal to different, younger audiences, the old fans might just find they love them too.

Many of the old TOS fans were unbearably resistant to anything but the original crew and ship, even though movies were being made about them. (They had done the same thing when TAS was in development.) It was really difficult to come to a convention between 1987 and 1990 as a TNG fan.

Just pointing out that any & all of these dates may have slipped due to temporal incursions in the Prime timeline by Romulans and others.

Temporal War leaves it’s artifacts in terms of non critical deviations - the river of the Prime timeline is very resilient. They key events will happen give or take a few decades.

You know that is my own daft mess. Didn’t check the article date last week when it arrived fresh and new in my feed with 1 day old stamp.

Thanks for the catch, and hey perhaps there’s some Shatner fans that missed this when it was released.

This instance and community it doing well, but is far from the half million base on the old place.

The mods have been really positive towards establishing new communities as volumes pick up. Many of us would like to see the one for Treklit (books and comics) split of, but we just don’t have the numbers to make those kinds of communities viable yet.

Also, there’s really benefits to a crosscutting discussion. Things are civil enough here that it’s working.

We see a lot of people here finally becoming persuaded to give shows they’d passed on a try, including Lower Decks.

I’m not seeing the coming in 2024 notice on my Netflix in Canada nor the option to be reminded when it’s released.

CTV’s app is still showing all 20 episodes of Prodigy season one listed as available for CTV Sci-fi Channel subscribers.

Weird that it’s excluded in Canada - since it won’t be streaming on Crave as well as broadcast on CTV Sci-fi.

Up to now, Netflix has been able to get the streaming rights to CTV Sci-Fi Channel shows if Crave doesn’t take the complementary streaming portion of the Canadian market.

I stand corrected.

But in one image the Drookmani has an apparent implant?

Pondering…🤔

If they are giving a special showing of Lower Decks S4E8 at NYCC, will it get the early release on Paramount+ and appear as a ‘special event on CTV Sci-Fi Channel?

Also, if they are promoting ‘news for Star Trek fans in attendance’, what do we hope to see?

  • release of Discovery S5 new trailer?

  • news on Saving Prodigy!

  • announcement of longer season for SNW S3?

Not just Bagey, not just assorted evil AI escapees from Daystrom security, but assimilated Klingons and Binars too.

Fun!

And perhaps a win for Rutherford?

Just realized that pricing is shown only in the body of the email.

Here’s a screenshot.

Thanks for asking.

One of the things that I consider most important about these sales is that the discount is being borne by the retailer and the publisher.

The contracted tie-in writers still get their full (if small) payment per book. Author @DavidMack@wanderingshop and others have confirmed this point in social media posts.

So, it’s your opportunity to get Treklit content at affordable prices while still ensuring creators are compensated.

Be ready for mid 20th attitudes, special effects and theatrics style production…and camp.

At nearly 60 years old, TOS is actually more bearable for me again than it was watching it in the 1990s - 30 years in it seemed cringey.

But what it does have is wild and trippy Star Trek energy, the kind of vibe SNW is recapturing for modern audiences. Lower Decks too.

TNG was going for a more professional cerebral vibe, and less fun. It was a nice contrast to TOS, but it’s nice to have something new with that vibe. Voyager really leaned into the weird in its journey across the Delta Quadrant, but played it straight more often than not.
