If anyone's going to this thing, we'd be very interested in hearing about the experience!

 

Voting day will either be April 28 or May 5, according to sources

 

“This marks the first time Corus has greenlit a spinoff of one of our homegrown scripted series,” said [Rachel Nelson, VP Original Programming and Head of Corus Studios]. “Private Eyes resonated so deeply with viewers at home and abroad, and alongside our valued production partners, we’re so excited to see Shade and Angie now on the beautiful coast of British Columbia.”

I think we've seen enough to safely say it would fall out of FTL in fairly short order.

I don't think we've seen enough to say exactly what its sublight velocity would be - no examples are coming to mind.

Edit: as is often the case when the warp drive comes up, its worth pointing out that ships at warp pretty definitely have momentum/inertia.

That title has big 90s Marvel energy.

Rudy Ransom Did Nothing Wrong

Sounds great - it's sort of our "not directly about Star Trek, but maybe the people who like this instance would be interested" community.

Normally, this would be more of a c/quarks post, but fuck it, this is important.

It sucks.

All the major American media companies have done this, but that's not an excuse. It still sucks.

If there's any hope at all (and I'm not completely convinced that there is), it's in statements like this:

To be the best storytellers and to continue to drive success, we must have a highly talented, dedicated and creative workforce that reflects the perspectives and experiences of our many different audiences. Values like inclusivity and collaboration are a part of the Paramount culture and will continue to be.

That might be an indication that the policies themselves are sort of still in place, but under a different name. However, if they're discontinuing all metrics related to it, there will be no real way to know whether their "values" have a significant impact.

I think the design was originally intended for use on boats, and other places where tipping is a likely occurrence.

I wonder if those would fit - the article says that these "replimat-style" mugs are smaller than the Highwave "Quark's" mugs, but I suppose they could have the same base.

It's interesting that they didn't bother replicating (heh) the rubber base of the originals. Too many added costs, I suppose.

NYCC 2024 - she's a recurring guest star, not a regular.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, they announced her as a recurring guest star at NYCC last year. They've got a pretty killer cast lined up, at least amongst the adults. I'm not familiar with any of the cadets.
