I hope she brings her long time friend Paul F. Tompkins (Dr. Migleemo) in. He's hysterical in everything.

Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that Paramount wanted to dump Trek? Isn’t that why Prodigy is on Netflix?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for more Trek (nu-trek?) but I’m terrified they’ll spread the IP thin like Disney did SW. I guess SNW is the only episodic live-action series we’ll be getting.

Paramount+ has been cancelling shows (which sucks and is bad), but they're certainly not dumping the franchise has a whole.

Prodigy moved to Netflix because the studio - also owned by Paramount - was able to shop it around for a new distributor.

I'm not sure if someone was trying to figure out ways to increase their profitability to avoid getting bought out, or if they were trying to increase their value to make buying them out a more attractive deal, or what.. but there was definitely a whole lot of "wtf are they thinking?" moves at Paramount, just as there were at HBO a year or so ago.

They were definitely flinging options at walls to try to get some kind of effect. But they were doing it with no apparent rhyme nor reason, at least to us out here.

I suspect we'll see another round of readjustments if/when Skydance gets their merger handled. I suspect there's people over there just chomping at the bit to get their hands deep in some Trek productions.

There was a while where I was really hopeful Apple would buy Paramount. Seemed like a good fit and I think Apple would do ST right.

i hope its like The Orville or i will be mildly disappointed

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

I love the Orville, but each season became more serious.

The third season had some really heavy episodes that made me need a break. The whole thing was malloy going to the past was heart breaking.

Don’t get me wrong. I thought that episode was a masterpiece, but it was really emotionally draining. And that’s fine, I’m actually looking to go back and finish season 3

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah, season 3 was pretty heavy but excellent. Can’t recall another so consistently excellent season of scifi TV in recent memory. Maybe the early Expanse seasons

Thats my favorite part of the Orville, he sold it them and in ads as "Family Guy INNN SPPAACCEEEEEEE" then bait and switched everyone with a killer SciFi show.

[-] Maven@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

I LOVED this part of the Orville! They start out so incredibly happy and fun loving about space but overtime the toll of the war and their jobs takes pieces of them. By the end they are all a lot more broken than they started and so the episodes reflect that.

Also the final episode is one of my favorite finales of all time so you gotta get there

You'll find no bigger klingonophile than I. I even spell Qonos with a Q!

Hopefully more Justin and Tawny than Alex.
