Didn't Naked Time have Chapel literally profess her love for Spock?

The last episode on Rigel VII was shot in front of the Holodeck (what the call Trek's AR Wall) and it was breathtakingly good. The emptiness was likely part of the point with this species.
A ton of the shit comes straight from the board of directors, who will no longer have a board because MS is absorbing and buying out all shareholders.
We know Bobby is leaving for a fact as well, as he has a buyout clause in his contract.
Short term, this is excision of a cancer from the industry. Long term this kind of consolidation is bad for competition. I'll be happy when MS gets inevitably trust busted.
I loved it, and I loved how La'an had no idea how to read it since LCARS wasn't even invented yet. Great use of visual continuity!
Baconreader is also gone. RSVP 🥓
Microsoft and Sega have a long partnership with gaming going back to the original XBox days where they got a ton of exclusives originally meant for the Dreamcast after it died. This news is the least surprising to me. Hell, their OG controller is literally the DC controller with an added stick and no VMU support.
It's how we also ended up with stuff like PSO2 in the West after Sega abandoned it.
💯 this. Pocketcasts is and has been outstanding for the years I've had it. Great UI, and will remember your position on a specific episode cross-platform.
GFR is like the journalist article version of Midnight's Edge. Literally does nothing but report on non-sense and inject it with extraordinary amounts of vitriol and bad faith arguement.
I actually wrote up a pretty strong disagreement for that post between the moment it appeared and when it got taken down, because the author clearly has a chip on their shoulder and wants to complain that anything that isn't Picard S3 or SNW is done by people who "don't get Trek" and that both shows "aren't a good fit for the universe." Neither of these things are true, considering Disco was created by long-time Berman-Era Trek contributor Bryan Fuller, and Prodigy is quite possibly one of the Trekkiest shows around.
They just don't like anything marginally different from their 90s comfort nostalgia formula that sent us straight into our wilderness years after franchise fatigue with Enterprise.
The mods would have had auto-mod blocklist that domain over on r/startrek, so it shouldn't be a surprise it gets removed here either.
Came here to post this, Mint just got purchased by T-Mobile.
The Elon comment kinda comes back around, you'll just need to keep watching and it'll make sense. Also, that image I used above was from a TOS episode about racism being stupid all the way back in the 60s. It's not trying to be subtle, and it never was.
And there's STILL people who think it's a show that glorifies and celebrates white, western colonialism and American exceptionalism. It has to be blatant because people miss the point regularly.
It's more than a theme, it's the entire cloth the show is cut from. It's meant to be a vehicle for progressive, egalitarian, humanist ideals. It dares to see the world as a better place without the chains and vices of greed and capitalism and bigotry.
It's not popcorn sci-fi. It's a surprisingly deep show meant to make you confront biases and prejudices you may not have even realized you had.
As we all know, operational security is Starfleet's #1 priority.
I have to imagine there's a seedy bar in San Francisco where all the Chief Security Officers meet up to bitch about how no one ever listens to their recommendations but its their asses who get chewed out when the ship gets so easily taken over on a weekly basis.
