I wonder how bad the numbers were; if it was losing money, or they just didn't make all the money like they wanted. Sometimes you have to give things time to find the audience.

Prodigy is a bit of a weird one, and I'm not surprised it didn't catch on right away. IMO, it could've been profitable(if it isn't already), with the audience slowly and steadily increasing.
FTR, I'm old, and I love it. I was disappointed I didn't see someone, but you can't have everything

@Son_of_dad

I've only yelled at my screen once, so that's a big improvement over previous seasons.

@ValueSubtracted

Heh... Yea, I forgot about that. Trek isn't always the best at consistency, or perfect logic. They could still pretend that never happened, or give some hand wavy explanation for why Kira and Dukat never mentioned what they look like.

It's out there now. I guess we'll see where it goes. I'm not upset. There's been worse design decisions in the franchise :^)

@ValueSubtracted @setsneedtofeed

It could go either way. Someone around here postulated they were proto changlings. That's pretty interesting. There's other cool ways to spin it, and lame ways also of course. Like all this stuff, I think "Ok, now what?". I hope what they come up with outweighs the fun mystery of the Breen.

I'll go further and say I'm not in favor of remasters. I want everything original, low res warts and all. Tasteful enhancements don't really bother me much, but I'm just as happy with the original versions, and consider them a record of history.

I've never been to a con, and likely never will, but it's a lot of work for an actor to be there. They take time out of their lives, have to be charming, and operate the assembly line of autographs on a multi day event. I'm not sure there's a clearly correct answer, but them being there is a real job with real work. Having them do it all gratis is a big ask.

I'm pretty cool with subpar episodes. They still add to the world, and give me something to watch with characters I enjoy. Of the series I like(almost all of them), there isn't a single episode I skip on rewatch. The "bad" ones bulk out the series and make it last longer.

@x4740N @ValueSubtracted

I don't like musicals either, and I enjoyed it. Adding an exception to "I've seen all of the $tv_series" is kind of lame. Maybe you won't like it, but it only takes an hour to find out. I've spent way worse hours in my life than watching a tv show I generally like with a dud episode.

@ValueSubtracted

Pretty silly episode. I'm not a fan of musicals, and I was dubious going in, but it was fun. They managed to make it as good as a musical could be for my tastes. I'm happy it was made, and I'm happy to have seen it. That's about the highest praise I could give for something like this.

@billmason @startrek

I like the idea in the abstract, but actually meeting them would make me extremely uncomfortable, and the anxiety would be no fun. Having it be a setup "thing" makes it all weird and awkward. If they randomly sat next to me at a bar or something, I could talk to them no problem.

@ValueSubtracted

We'll see... Can't say I'm stoked, but maybe it'll be better than I anticipate. I'm not really a fan of musicals in the first place. I could count the ones I find 'acceptable' on one hand, and can only think of two atm. If it turns out merely 'acceptable' I'll be happy enough. Hopefully the actors had fun.
