This week, Shane Harris speaks to Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman, who co-created the new Showtime series “The Man Who Fell to Earth.” It's about an alien, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who comes to Earth in search of technology to help save his home planet, which has been ravaged by a changing climate. He seeks out a brilliant scientist, played by Naomie Harris, who has the knowledge to help build the planet-saving device. But she is struggling to care for a young daughter and an ill father on her own and can barely make ends meet. The show is based on the cult-classic film of the same name, which starred David Bowie, as well as a novel by Walter Tevis. The new telling is an allegory about climate change, and how humans have the potential to destroy worlds and to save them. It's also an exploration of the lives of refugees and immigrants. The alien is trying to assimilate and survive in a new world whose traditions he doesn't understand but whose fate is tied up with his own. And the scientist has been forced by circumstance to leave her old life behind and is struggling to understand where she fits in a different and hostile world. Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman have been working together for years and have had long and distinguished careers of their own. Jenny wrote the screenplay for “Rachel Getting Married” and has executive produced several TV series. Alex has executive produced numerous science-fiction shows, including the Star Trek series “Discovery” and “Picard.” Shane talked to the filmmakers about their careers, the stories they are moved to tell, and their creative influences. Jenny also shared some great stories from her unusual childhood. She's the daughter of Sidney Lumet, one of the 20th century's most celebrated directors, and grew up in a house surrounded by talented and eccentric artists. Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo. This episode was produced and edited by Cara Shillenn of Goat Rodeo, with engineering assistance from Isabelle Kerby-McGowan.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis welcomes back Alex Kurtzman, co-creator, along with Jenny Lumet, of the adaptation of “The Man Who Fell to Earth” on Showtime. Kurtzman directed the film “People Like Us” and is the co-writer of several films, including “Transformers” and “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” “The Man Who Fell to Earth” is an adaptation of the 1976 film starring David Bowie, which was an adaptation of the Walter Tevis novel by the same name. Kurtzman tells the Treatment that while he had reservations about adapting the cult favorite, he believed he and Lumet could bring something new to the story. He says star Chiwetel Ejiofor was an ideal actor to collaborate with because of their similarly cerebral approaches to the text. And he says the pandemic afforded him the time to deepen the music choices in the series.
On this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we chat with TV showrunner Jenny Lumet about the new Showtime series 'The Man Who Fell to Earth'.

The Man Who Fell To Earth is a new science fiction series on SHOWTIME about aliens on earth. Just like in Roswell, New Mexico, or Resident Alien the extraterrestrial beings have taken human form to complete a mission, yet quickly find some of our human customs difficult to adapt to and understand. The show was developed by Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman, the same duo behind the recently canceled Clarice. It stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Naomi Harris and Bill Nighy. It is not a remake, but a continuation based on the 1976 David Bowie film and 1963 novel by Walter Tevis. On Today's Episode, we discuss the history of the show and the plot to the pilot. Tune in and enjoy!
Several cast & crew members chat with Trey Elling about the new Showtime series, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH. The series is a continuation of the story told in the 1963 Walter Tevis novel and 1976 David Bowie film of the same name.

In today's episode of Bingeworthy, our revitalized TV and streaming podcast co-hosts Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez dive into Showtime's new sci-fi sequel/reboot series, “The Man Who Fell to Earth” from Alex Kurtzman (“Fringe,” “Alias,” “Star Trek: Discovery”) and Jenny Lumet (“Star Trek: Discovery,” “Rachel Getting Married”). Based on the classic 1976 sci-fi movie from director Nicolas Roeg starring David Bowie, this new “The Man Who Fell to Earth” is essentially a legacy sequel and centers on Faraday (Chiwetel Ejiofor), an alien who comes to Earth with a mission to enlist the help of a human scientist (Naomie Harris) to save his species and, in turn, humanity (read our review here). Bill Nighy takes up David Bowie's alien role in the series too (yes, the character is still alive). After our hosts discuss the show, writer/director/producers Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet stop by to discuss heading up a reboot/sequel of a beloved, nearly 50-year-old sci-fi cult classic and the surprisingly personal reasons they chose to do it.

Securing this interview I felt that I had hit the Star Wars Universe jackpot!I am so honoured to feature actor Jake Cannavale in this special The Mandalorian series. We know him as bounty hunter Toro Calican, but I wanted to dig a little deeper into what makes this actor unique.Jake comes from a large acting family, so it was pretty much imprinted in his DNA from day one. His parents, actors Bobby Cannavale and Jenny Lumet, encouraged him as he carved out his unique presence centre screen.

Star Trek Discovery Season 3 is off to a pretty strong start. I enjoyed "Far From Home" and think it may even be better than last week's installment. This time around, we catch up with the crew of the USS Discovery, and see how they are all coping in this new time period. Saru and Tilly make first contact with some friendly Coridonites and an oppressive courier. Jet tries to teach Stammets what an idiot he's being, and Georgiou finds her self right at him in this more dystopian future. But running through it all is the classic Star Trek idealism and optimism. Find my books at Jewel of The Stars Book 1 http://books2read.com/jewel2 ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven. I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a nerd. This is episode 39 of the podcast. Today, we’re talking about the second episode of Star Trek Discovery season 3. Far From Home. I really liked this episode, and may have enjoyed it more than last week’s. The description on memory alpha reads After the USS Discovery crash-lands on a strange planet, the crew finds themselves racing against time to repair their ship. Meanwhile, Saru and Tilly embark on a perilous first-contact mission in hopes of finding Burnham. It was Written by Michelle Paradise, Jenny Lumet, and Alex Kurtzman It was directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi And it first aired on the 22nd of October 2020. Make it so. So last week, we saw what happened to Michael Burnham when she emerged from the wormhole in the 32nd century. Throughout the episode, she was searching for Discovery, but never found it. In this episode, we follow the crew of discovery as they emerge from the wormhole. The journey has been pretty hard on them. They’re all unconscious. Saru is the first to wake, as the ship emerges from the wormhole and plunges toward a planet. So is this Teralysium? There are a whole lot of asteroids in orbit of this world. Discovery crashes through one, which is probably very unrealistic but looks cool. We get a very cool shot of the ship crashing onto the planet. We’ve had a couple of great crash sequences in Star Trek history. The Enterprise D on Veridian, Voyager on an icy world in the episode Timeless, and this. I think the enterprise D is still my favourite, but still is still an epic and visually stunning sequence. So the ship is now crashed on the surface of a planet, covered in ice. It doesn’t look like she’s going anywhere in a hurry. Most starships in the Star Trek universe were not designed to land and take off from a planetary surface. Voyager was rather unique in that it was equipped with landing struts. Even if Discovery is capable of landing, this was hardly a deliberate touchdown. Anyway, they’re all very lucky to be alive, and it doesn’t take long for them all to realise and appreciate it. It’s all thanks to Lieutenant Detmer’s skills, but she’s not celebrating. She’s definitely not herself. She’s got a nasty head wound. Jet points that out Teralysium wasn’t very icy, but, of course, planets tend to be very diverse. Look at all the different climates on earth. Saru gives a nice little speech. They’re all very interested to know what’s out there. Where and when are they? There’s a whole universe out there to explore, and they’re Starfleet officers. Their curiosity must be running at very high levels. But right now, the priority is to repair the ship. They are needed in here. They can figure out what’s out there later. Saru has come such a long way. He demonstrates multiple times throughout this episode what a great captain he has grown into. And yes, as the ship’s first officer, he is next in line, so as far as I’m concerned, he’s the captain, until that time, if and when, the show tells me otherwise. We get a great sense of organised chaos as the crew scramble to work on the ship. The sparks and the extras running about the set give a great sense of activity. Tilly has determined that there are certain areas on this planet that have higher amounts of oxygen than the rest of the world. These appear to be manufactured settlements. We’ll see one of them later. Saru takes from this that they are not on Teralysium, and that there is life out there. There is life in the universe. This moment is underplayed compared with Burnham’s scream of relief in the last episode, but it was important for the crew of Discovery to have a similar moment. They’ve been successful in their mission to save all sentient life. And while they don’t have much time for celebrating. It needs to be acknowledged and appreciated. It’s a nice moment. And then Georgiou turns up. I found Tilly’s line “You have some Leeland on your boot” to be darkly amusing, but I really didn’t need to see it. But wait, because there’s more to come. Stamets is still in sickbay. I like the original series bio bed sound. There’s a very interesting effect they do. The room is empty, and silent, apart from the alarm. When Culbert brings him out of the coma, suddenly, the room is full of people and noise. It was very clever. I don’t always like film-making tricks like that, but this one really worked for me. It’s quite believable that there would be injured even worse than Stamets, and they’ll need his bed. Culberty wants to put him in a celular regeneration chamber (though probably not the one invented by Professor Guiger in Deep Space Nine) but Stamets wants to get back to work and help with repairs. My wife is a nurse and she was watching this with me. She said “Why do people on TV, who are badly injured, always want to get back to work, when they can barely stand? It just doesn’t happen that way.” And I can well imagine. Certainly if I was in Stamet’s condition, the last thing I’d be thinking about is work. I mean, Stamets is a work-a-holic, but still. It’s a common trope, and one that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Anyway Stamets and Culbert are very happy. They’ve finally gotten themselves figured out. I wasn’t sure about bringing Culbert back in season 2. IT felt like it cheapened his death, which I thought was well played in season 1. But, they did it well. Not the actual resurrection. That bit was really weird. But after he was back, there were consequences. And it took the rest of the season for Culbert to come to terms with it all. And that was done well. So Detmer’s head is kinda ponding, and the whole world seems a bit distant to her. But Doctor Pollard heals her wound with a dermal regenerator and tells her she’s good to go. That’s it? But she doesn’t let on that she’s still feeling really weird. I don’t know what’s going on with her, but I’m sure it’ll come back to haunt everyone. Part of me wonders if it’s something to do with her implant. I think Culbert notices something is off about her. So there’s a translator, which is part of the communication system. It’s damaged beyond repair. They need to rebuild it, but they don’t have the raw material. This isn’t actually needed to get the ship off the ground, but without it, they’ll have no communications within the ship or without. And they won’t be able to search for burnham. So it’s pretty important. Tilly has found a settlement and scans indicate they have the material needed. She’s also noticed the settlements have ships but no dilithium. Saru feels they should treat this like a prime directive situation and not reveal too much about themselves. I’m not sure I fully understand his point. He says they carry information that could be damaging to a society, whether more or less advanced that they are. Perhaps he’s referring to the sphere data, which Discovery still has. I dunno. There’s some conflict between Saru and Georgiou. Saru is very much holding to Starfleet principles. Georgeiou, as a former terran empress, is taking a more pragmatic approach. It’s interesting. I mean, I tend to side with Saru. I like Saru’s by-the-book approach. But, Georgiou is right about one thing. They’re in a completely unknown world, a potentially hostile world. Her approach may need to be considered at some point. In the very least, she’s going to fit in quite well in this time period, from what we’ve learned so far from last week. I think there will be some interesting character dynamics between these two as the series progresses. And probably Burnham as well. It’s going for Georgiou to be subservient to Saru. I mean, to her, he’s a delicacy. Saru and Tilly are going to the settlement. They’ll need medical treatment to be able to breathe the natural atmosphere outside of the settlements. And then we go down to Stammet’s lab, where we see somebody scooping body parts, that used to be Leeland, into a bucket. Honestly, I really really didn’t need to see this. It’s pretty disgusting. I’m not sure why they felt the need. And honestly, it feels disrespectful for the human being that Leeland was before his body was taken by control. I mean, this was a person once. I found this to be in bad taste. Stamets is back at work, even though it’s clear he’s in no condition to be working. So Jet takes him under her wing. There’s some really fun interaction between these two in the episode. IT reminds me how much I like Jet. She’s so not your typical Starfleet officer. She’s her own person. I mean, she’d probably rub me the wrong way in the real world, but I love watching her on screen. As Saruy and Tilly exit the ship, it looks pretty chilly out there. Lots of ice. And there appear to be big rocks or icebergs floating in the sky. I’m not sure of the science behind that but it looks really cool. At this point in the episode, I began to speculate as to whether this was the same planet Michael landed on last week, because the countryside looks very similar. It’s clear all of this was shot in Iceland just like last week. This will basically be confirmed at the end of the episode. But I’m confused. Michael and Book had no problem breathing on this planet. So what’s the go with that? Saru is being very sweet to Tilly. He knows that she talks to calm herself, and he says, “please, keep talking.” She’s not even sure why he brought her along. But he is. They’re introducing themselves to the future, and Tilly is a wonderful first impression. To be honest, that really melted my heart. We learn that there is something special about this ice. It’s not just frozen water. Nhan calls it parasitic. It’s rate of growth increases in the shade, so when the sun goes down, they’re going to have a real problem. The ship could quickly become encased in the stuff. IF that happens, they may never get the ship off the ground again, repairs or no repairs. This is a cool sci-fi element that adds to the strangeness of this new world. We get a conversation between Nahn and Georgiou about why they each chose to come into the future with Burnham. Nahn could have stayed on the Enterprise where she was arguably meant to be. She says she stayed for Arium. This was her way of honouring Arium’s death. I’m not sure I understand the connection, but I appreciate and respect the heart behind it. Georgiou doesn’t. Georgiou’s reasons make a lot of sense. She doesn’t want to end up in a desk job running the bureaucracy of section 31. She likes jumping from universe to universe. Our 23rd century was no home to her. It was clear from the beginning she didn’t fit in there, and never would. And while she didn’t know it at the time, we’ve already discussed how she’s going to fit in very nicely here. And we get to see Linus again. Linus is cool. Georgiou has an interest I don’t quite understand in his range of vision. The settlement is entered by way of transporter. Saru and Tilly find themselves in a wild west saloon of sorts. There, they meet Kal, a Coridonite. Another classic Star Trek race. We didn’t actually see one of them until Enterprise, where they had some dealings with the Andorians and Tellarites, but the TOS episode Journey to Babel was centered around negotiations to admit Coridon into the Federation. By the way, remember Cosmo from last week. I called him an ugly alien and said I didn’t recognise his species. Turns out, he was a Betalgeusian, a race that was briefly seen in Star Trek The Motion Picture. Anyway, they introduce themselves as officers of Starfleet. Kal believes them because he’s already scanned his ship. And we get another classic Tilly line. “My name lacks authority.” I love it. Kal believes Saru and Tilly will help them. It’s who they are. The bartender isn’t convinced. Kal says this planet has never had a name, but they call it the colony. But apparently, these people are being terrorised by a bully named Zareh. Tilly, being intelligent as she is, realises that Dilithium will be valuable to these people, so she offers it as payment for their help repairing the transtater. Jet makes a compelling cast to Stamets, that he’s not bringing his A game and they need to get someone else to crawl around the jefferies tube, but he doesn’t listen. He’s being pretty stupid. Kal is repairing the transtator with a nanite style technology. Looks similar to what we encountered last week. He refers to it as programmable matter. Tilly pretends to be familiar with it, but it’s pretty obvious she’s not. I’m getting a better idea of how things work in this time period. There are ships that can travel through space, but not many. Most people are stuck where they are. They rely on couriers, like Cosmo, Book, and Zareh to bring things to them. Couriers are basically the only ones that can travel through space. They get a small amount of dilithium to complete the job. This was all written and shot before COVID 19 hit, but it kind of reminds me of lockdown, which is basically over here in Tasmania. Being stuck in one place, ordering stuff online and having it delivered by intrepid couriers. Yeah. Very familiar. Funny that. Anyway, Zareh killed the last courier and is exploiting these people. And there’s no Federation to speak of to intervene. They might be taking the wild west metaphor a little too far, as Zareh walks in with spurs clanking on his boots, to a very western sounding music cue. But, I dunno. I kinda like it. The actor playing Zareh is well-suited to this kind of role. He manages to be intimidating and scary by speaking in a calm, almost friendly voice. He’s also scanned the Discovery, but notes there is no record of it in his records. So Starfleet successfully classified the ship out of existence. I like the look of daggers Tilly gives him when he calls her sweetheart. And he quickly pieces together that Saru and Tilly are time travellers, given their lack of up to date technology. And then that horrible moment. Kara kills Kal. I liked Kal. And it looks like a horrible way to go. That phaser of Zareh takes it time and kills him very slowly and his torso burns and blue blood comes out of every crease in his face. Horrific. Kara can see that KAl has been emboldened by the arrival of Starfleet officers. The guy is going to be harder to intimidate. I guess he figured an example needs to be made. And have you noticed we’re getting more beam phasers this season, instead of bold phasers. I like that. Saru is trying to negotiate with this thug. It’s clear at this point that Dilithium is the most prized resource around here, and Discovery has plenty of it. Of course, Zareh would rather take what he wants than bargain. And he has a big bargaining chip. The parasitic ice. It’s slowly enveloping Discovery. If they don’t do something soon, the ship will be overwhelmed by it and it’ll never fly again. And the visual they show, of the ice growing before your eyes looks fantastic. I like it when Star Trek uses a force of nature like this as an antagonistic force. Zareh is going to send Tilly out into the cold all alone, to get the Dilithium and bring it back, braving the ice. He tells a story about how he’s seen it go down into someone’s throat. It’s pretty scary stuff. Sounds like he’s sending her to her death. And then Georgiou shows up. They found her sniffing around the perimeter. But you have to assume she allowed herself to be captured. I mean, it’s Georgiou. She says she’s going to enjoy this new world. And I have no doubt about that. It’s looking pretty bad for her, as Zareh repeatedly shoots her with the tortue gun. And then, when she’s ready to make her move, she goes kung fu on them. It’s a good action sequence. Even Saru gets in on the fun, and gets to use his new super Kelpien spikes. Time for another moral debate between Georgiou and Saru. She points out that killing Zareh would be a service to the galaxy, and she may be right. But Saru reminds her, “This is not who we are.”. But Georgiou really isn’t part of that “we” is she? But the conversation is cut short by Tilly’s realisation that daylight is gone. The ice is taking over discovery. You can see it just springing up. It looks awesome. And the creaking of the metal. It’s evocative of the terrible situation they’re in. Culbert is rightfully annoyed when he finds that Stammets is in a jefferies tube. But he manages to get the circuit replaced. He says “thanks for nothing to Jet.” And she replies “Back at you bobcat.” Hugh questions this nickname, to which she replies, “I don’t know. I’m on drugs.” I tell you, they give Jet the best lines. I’m glad to see that Georgiou is being allowed to show the ruthless nature she has. This is who she is. She’s not pretending to play by Starfleet rules anymore. I think in season 2, she got a little too easily assimilated with the good guys. This season is gonna let her show her teeth. But Saru isn’t backing down. He’s being stern with her. He’s acting captain of the ship and she will stand down. It’s a wonderful interaction, and I want to see more of these two butting heads in the future. Zareh threatens the bartender. Your children will suffocate slowly. And it looks like he’s gonna set Zareh free. But then he puts his gun down, allowing Tilly to smash a bottle over his head, giving him back his sweetheart line. It’s a great moment because we thought he was going to betray our heroes. “Kal always believed that you were out there somewhere. He believed we were part of the Federation no matter what. I get now why he wouldn’t stop talking about you.” I think Saru has convinced him. Saru will give them enough Dilithium to help them get free of Zareh’s oppression, along with his ship. Saru gives Zareh into the bartender’s custody. And it looks like he’s gonna kill him for a minute. He doesn’t directly. He lets him go free. Into the icy cold. He may never last the night. It’s the same deal Zareh offered Tilly. Despite the Star-Wars-ey dispotian setting, this episode was very much Star Trek, in the truest sense. It’s dripping with Starfleet idealism and optimism. Saru and Tilly are given a personal transporter to get them safely back to Discovery. They’re ready to try taking off. But the ship is so encased in ice. Still, there’s a sense of determination, as the music swells and the camera pans across the bridge. And then, the camera hits Detmer, and the music goes all haunting. We are reminded that something is not right with her. Something is not right at all. Despite her problems, whatever they are, she performs her job admirably, but it’s still not enough. The ice fights back pretty hard. Again, it looks awesome. They can’t break free. Starships are not designed to lift off like this. Another ship arrives. Zareh’s more powerful friends? A tractor beam pulls them out of the ice. But is rescue at the hands of thugs going to be any better than staying in the ice? And that’s when they are hailed. By Michael Burnham. She’s found them, and rescued them. The looks on everyone’s faces is priceless. Even Georgiou. It’s a beautiful moment. Michael’s hair is different. She reveals that she landed a year ago. She’s been waiting here all this time. She seems to confirm this is the same planet where she landed, but that still doesn’t explain the whole oxygen thing. Maybe they’ll address that next week. Anyway, our characters have all been united now. Next week, we’ll get to see them together. It’ll be quite the emotional reunion I suspect. I have to say, Star Trek Discovery is off to a pretty strong start in season 3 so far. I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am. Next week’s episode is called People of Earth. It sounds like our heroes are going to be investigating, to see what has become of the Federation they remember from their time. Don’t forget, my Jewel of the Stars books are available wherever eBooks are sold. You can also read the first book free on wattpad, or get it in paperback. I plan to release books 2 in paperback soon too. Just got to find the time. I’ve been very busy lately. I plan to publish book 3 before the end of this year, so look out for that. Well, have a great week, and I’ll see you somewhere in Nerd Heaven.
Time-traveler Michael Burnham is thrust into a reality in which the Federation is all but decimated. When all hope is lost, A New Hope emerges. Join in as we kick off our discussion of season three of Star Trek: Discovery with its premiere episode, “That Hope Is You”.
Star Trek Discovery Podcast, featuring Picard and Lower Decks
Star Trek: Discovery – Season 3 Episode 1 – That Hope Is You, Part 1 We’re back! Brian and Ruthie talk through the season 3 premiere episode of Star Trek: Discovery, titled That Hope Is You, Part 1. This episode was written by Michelle Paradise & Jenny Lumet & Alex Kurtzman and directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! If you haven’t seen the season premiere of Star Trek: Discovery, stop right now!!! Go watch it, then come back!!! We’ll be here for you! Welcome… to the future!!! Burnham has arrived in the 32nd Century, and things are much different than the 23rd. The Federation is no more. She’s not on Terralysium, as expected, but Hima. We hear of “The Burn” that has changed everything. We meet Book, his cat Grudge, see some incredible technology, unusual alliances, and witness a lot of brutalities. Funny lines Sonequa Martin-Green had a chance to show a comedic side she hasn’t had much chance to show. At Requiem, once pumped full of happy juice, she is VERY funny! She does a great job in this episode all the way around. We see laughter, joy, sorrow, and just about every emotion she can play. David Ajala was also great and they have great chemistry. But there is hope… One of the best things from this episode is when they meet Aditya Sahil, the de facto Starfleet representative in this sector. It was so inspiring to see him finally find the person his decades of hope were all about. Burnham is that hope. Spot the References… Again, there were a lot of references this week, though not as many as Lower Decks had. I used this Den of Geek article to help find them.

After a long wait, Star Trek Discovery is back. Michael Burnham has succeeded in saving the universe, but she now has to face the fact that the lift she knew is gone forever, and her friends aboard Discovery are nowhere to be found. Worse than that, she learns that the Federation is all but gone in this distant future. What's a Starfleet officer to do? It turns out, this new century might need Michael just as much as the previous one did. This is a good solid episode that opens the new season and promises an interesting and satisfying story. So let's geek out about it. -- Find my books at books2read.com/jewel books2read.com/jewel2 ------more---- Transacript Welcome to Nerd Heaven. I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars. And I am a nerd. This is episode 38 of the podcast. Today, we launch into something new and exciting. We’re covering the first episode of Star Trek Discovery season 3, and we’ll be doing weekly review analysis on each episode until the season is done. And welcome to my new timeslot. Back when I was covering Star Trek Picard season 1, I’d watch the episode Friday night, then watch it again Saturday morning, taking notes and scripting the podcast. Then I’d record, edit and publish by Saturday afternoon. It got pretty intense. This time, I plan to pace myself a little. I’ll be posted on Mondays, Australian time zone. Probably Monday morning. That just allows me a bit more time to get the episode together and get some other things done on the weekend. Today’’s episode is called That Hope is You. Part 1. The description on Memory Alpha reads Burnham navigates a strange, new galaxy, 930 years in her future, looking for the rest of the Discovery crew. (Season premiere) The episode was Written by Michelle Paradise, Jenny Lumet, & Alex Kurtzman It was Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi And it first aired on the 15th of October 2020 Make it so. The end of season 2 was a big game changer, liquifying the status quo of the series. Michael Burnhan and the USS Discovery flew into a wormhole taking them into the distant future. Further into Star Trek’s future than we’ve ever seen before. And that was an exciting prospect. So now, finally, we get to see what kind of world they emerge into. This gives the writers of the show the opportunity they’ve wanted all along, to create something brand new. To establish a completely unexplored era in the Star Trek universe. They must have had so much fun brainstorming ideas. Honestly, Star Trek Discovery should never have been set in the pre-Kirk 23rd century, given the kind of creative freedom they wanted. The writers finally realised this and used the second half of season 2 to set up this change. So … the very first scene shows us a bird, with a digital clock projected on its side. Okay. That’s different. Evidently, this is some kind of futuristic alarm clock projecting a hologram. I kinda like it. I’d wake up to that. We see a man wake up and leave his bed, which dissolves into a liquid state and disappear. The whole structure seems to be constructed from nanites. It’s very cool on screen. He cleans his teeth, and a desk and chair are created by the same nanite technology as his bed. The process repeats, giving us a sense that this man’s life is very very routine and predictable. He’s searching for signals, and he carries a case that bears a Starfleet logo (Oddly, it’s the early 23rd century logo with the split delta.) When The Next Generation first came out, they designed a whole new aesthetic for the technology. We got the beloved Okudagrams, often referred to as LCARS, although technically, LCARS is the library computer access retrieval system. Anyway, we all love that look. But for the 32nd century, they needed to similarly re-define the visual look of the Star Trek Universe. This nanite-based technology is both visually interesting and logical. It’s a believable extension from the replication and hologram technologies.We’ve heard the term “Particle Synthesis” from time to time in Star Trek. Arturis used it to fool the crew of Voyager into thinking his ship was Starfleet. Species 8472 also used it to re-created Starfleet Academy in the Delta Quadrant. I can’t help but wonder, is this an advanced form of particle synthesis? The name seems to fit what we see on screen. Later, we’ll see a control panel on a ship. Instead of okudagrams on a touch screen, we’ll see this same nanite technology creating displays and controls. So for the most part, it seems this has replaced the holographic controls we saw in Star Trek Picard. This technology actually reminds me of the Kryptronian technology in Man of Steel. That was kinda similar and also very cool. Anyway, you could argue that this doesn’t look like Star Trek, but honestly, it shouldn’t. We’re almost a thousand years beyond the world Burnham left, so I think they’ve done a great job. I like it. Then we cut to a space battle in orbit of an M-class planet. A spinning ship, maybe inspired by the jelly-fish ship in Star Trek 2009, is pursuing a character we’ll come to know as Cleavland Booker, or Book for short. It seems Book has stolen something from this rather ugly alien. I don’t recognise his species. But whatever it was, the aliens had stolen it first. Then the wormhole opens and Burnham emerges, in the red angle suit. No sign of Discovery yet. So is this planet Terralesium? That’s where Michael was expecting to emerge. I like the little shot of the CG bugs. I always enjoy seeing alien animals . Michael bounces off Book’s ship, causing them both to crash on this planet. A shield in the suit protects michael. The suit disengages from her, looking way too advanced for 23rd century tech, as always. She can’t reach Discovery on her communicator. The suit tells her she’s in the year 3188. She asks the computer if there are any signs of life. Her face holds so much emotion in that moment before it answers. Imagine if she’d failed. And finds herself alone, the only living being in a universe devoid of all sentient life. That was basically her mother’s life. But the computer confirms. There are multiple life signs on this planet. And she gives this great scream of relief, and victory. It’s a powerful performance from Senqua Martin-Green. It really makes me feel her emotions. She did it! She saved the universe!. Now, technically, she should already know she was successful. She emerged in the middle of a space battle between two ships. She knows someone is here, although, I guess those ships could have been AI controlled. In any case, I forgive it because it’s a wonderful moment. The wormhole is closing, so she has to send the final red signal back through it, letting Spock and Pike know that she arrived safely and successfully. The red angel suit flies off, on its last mission. The signal is sent and the suit explodes. This is important because it means Michael no longer has any way of getting back to the 23rd century. Her life, her entire world is gone. She’ll never see it again. And we get another beautiful outpouring of emotion. Before she can explore, let alone embrace, her new world, she needs to take a moment to mourn the loss of the old one. It’s really great stuff. All she has is her badge, a tricorder, phaser and ration pack. She clings to the one other thing she has. Her identity as a Starfleet officer. She doesn’t yet know just how meaningful and significant that will be. Now we have a new opening titles to discuss. There are no major changes. I suspected they might do a new arrangement of the music, to make it feel less connected to TOS, but the score is unchanged. As with season 2, some of the visuals have changed to reflect what is happening this season. The first big difference we notice is a huge collection of DOT-7 robots. Those were the things that popped out of the Enterprise Hull last season during the battle. Basically repair droids. Like R2D2. I Wasn’t a fan of this. Oh, they’re cool, but they felt out of place in Star Trek. That’s more of a Star Wars idea. It felt like they were trying a bit too hard there. Anyway, no idea what they’re showing up here. I guess they’ll have some significance this season. This captain’s chair from the Enterprise bridge is still present, which surprises me. I’d have thought that no longer relevant. Then we see a phaser. As usual, it pulls apart, but as it goes back together, it forms into a futuristic, possibly alien sidearm like we’ve never seen before. This shot makes the most sense it ever has. Then we see Book’s ship (I think). It doesn’t follow the traditional Starfleet design at all. No visible nacelles. But it’s constantly changing shape, like it has moving parts Reminds me of a transformer, actually. I don’t yet have a good sense of this ship. We see the new oval-shaped com badge. That won’t appear in this episode. And then the three badges on the transporter pad meld into the new shape. We get some beautiful vistas of this alien planet. They went and shot on location in Iceland for this. I love that. It makes such a difference. We occasionally got location shoots on Star Trek TV shows in the 90s, even in TOS, but I don’t think they ever went to another country just to film. That’s more of a movie-budget thing. Just another sign of the investment they’re making in this show. You can’t deny that CBS takes Star Trek very seriously at the moment. Anyway, it makes me want to go to Iceland, because this planet is both beautiful and exotic. Michael has found Book’s ship. And it can turn invisible. Is this just a cloaking device, or some relation to the particle synthesis tech? Watching this episode the second time, I’m picking up on a lot of foreshadowing of Book’s true nature that I didn’t notice the first time. Book thinks Michael is here to take his cargo. But he’s fiercely protecting it. It doesn’t belong to her. She tries to explain herself to him but he’s not interested in what she has to say. They get into a bit of a fist fight. Nicely done action. But the fight ends when she pulls her antique phaser. This is where we get our first hint related to the new nature of the universe. Book questions the wisdom of ripping space apart, to create artificial wormholes. He says “It wasn’t enough for you and the Gorn to destroy 2 light-years worth of subspace?” But ‘you’ I assume he means Starfleet. So something has happened to subspace, and it appears that both STarfleet and the Gorn were somehow responsible. We’ll talk more about this in a little bit. When Michael asks if this is Teralysium, he says, it’s “Hima.” So, is that just a new name for Teralysium, or a different planet? From evidence so far, I think it’s a different planet. But right now, Michael doesn’t know what sector, even what quadrant she’s in. I assume she’s somewhere in the alpha quadrant because of the races we meet here. Andorians, Orions, Tellarites, Lurians, and of course, humans. Anyway, she makes an impassioned plea. I’m all alone in the universe. I have to trust someone, and for better or worse, that’s you. We get a look at the interior of this ship. We see the particle control panels. Michael is as taken by them as I am. The dilithium re-crystaliser on his ship was damaged during impact. He can’t fly using quantum slipstream (another technology that Voyager toyed with on their quest to get home) without Benamite, which is apparently very rare. Tachyon solar cells are too slow. It seems there are a bunch of methods of interstellar travel in this time, but not many of them will work, due to lack of resources. What Book needs is dilithium for his warp drive. By now we can already tell this is not the super-advanced utopia we’ve glimpsed in the 29th century, nor the time-travel-obsessed 31st century. This is a time of shortage and challenge. And that’s when we meet Grudge, the cut. She’s sure to become a fan favourite. Michael points out she’s a very large cat. And Book replies that she has a thyroid condition. This is kinda weird. My wife tells me Grudge is a Mancoon, which are naturally a very large breed of cat. So …. What put this thyroid line in there. I wonder if that’s going to become significant at some point during the season. Michael hopes she can trade her antique equipment for dilithium. If she helps him get off the planet, maybe he’ll help her try to contact Discovery. Then some more gorgeous location shots of a waterfall and moss-encrusted rocks. So good. Time for some exposition, so Michael, and the viewers, can learn a little about the state of the galaxy. We learn that the Federation is gone, which is shocking news to Michael. How can the Federation be gone? What is the Star Trek universe without the Federation? Apparently, there are some true believers out there that still believe in its ideals. But not Book. He’s a courier. Out for himself. At this point in the episode, he seems like a bit of a Han Solo type. But we may challenge that assumption later on. Book doesn’t know all the details, but the Federation collapsed a long time ago, after the burn. The burn was the day the galaxy took a hard left. Everyone has been doing a lot of speculating, since this line was revealed in the trailer. The most popular theory, by far, is that it was caused by an explosion of Omega Particles. Omega PArticles disrupt subspace. If one goes off, a large area around it will become so damaged that warp drive is impossible in that region. Fans surmised that omega explosions have made warp drive impossible, in this time. So everyone is cut off from everyone else. This made a lot of sense, and explained why Discovery’s spore drive would come in so handy. What Book says is “Dilithium. One day most of it just went boom. Dilithium is the heart of every warp-capable ship The Federation weren’t sure what happened or why,but after a while they just weren’t around anymore. So what we’re seeing doesn’t quite seem to fit the omega particle theory. Warp drive is still possible, and we’ll see it used later this episode. The problem is that Dilithium is very very rare (but not so rare that Book can’t get his hands on some before the episode is done.) But he did mention damage to subspace in a 2-lightyear radius. And THAT sounds like omega. We’ll also learn later that people in this region of space cannot scan very far out. This all seems a bit muddy at the moment. We don’t get a full picture of what the real state of things is in this episode. But I’m starting to worry that they’ve taken the concept of the omega particle, but complicated it way more than was necessary. Kind alike what they did with Voq in season 1. The idea of surgically altering someone to look like another species is a very common Star Trek Trop, as far back as the original series. But the show complicated the whole thing with Voq so much that to this day, fans are still trying to get their heads around exactly what happened. They made it more complex than it needed to be. Hopefully this won’t be a similar thing. Sonequa is doing a lot of really good face acting in this episode. She portrays so much emotion without saying a word. It’s awesome. They arrive at a city. A massive city. When they try to enter the mercantile, some kind of market, they scan Book and Michael. IT seems everyone in this time has some kind of technology embedded in their forearm. Reminds me a lot of the omni-tool in Mass Effect, actually. Because Michael isn’t from this time, she doesn’t have one, so they won’t let her in. I guess it’s like trying to enter a country without a passport, or trying to get a job without a social security number, or as we have in Australia, a Tax File Number. But whoever runs this place is convinced that what Michael carries could be valuable. Michael sees people using a site-to-site transporter, or as she calls it, a portable transporter. This technology existed, but was rare in the time of Voyager. It’ll be just like a toothbrush in this time. And that’s when Book betrays Michael. He frames her as a bank robber and steals her equipment. Seems he’ll need more than just the tricorder to afford the dilithium he needs. The Andorian and Orion security officers drug Michael to make her talk. It really does feel like the wild west out here. It’s funny, but the current creative team behind Star Trek really do want to make Star Trek feel more wild west. Emphasis on the wild. Star Trek Picard took us out of the safe comfortable Federation worlds into dingy places where morals were lower and danger lurked around every corner. Places where the peace is kept by Fenris Rangers because there’s nobody else to do it. It all felt a bit more Star Wars-ish to me. That’s feeling like a trend. Anyway, it makes a lot more sense here, because a world without the Federation or Starfleet is basically gonna be like the wild west of Star Wars. Michael’s reaction to the drug is mildly amusing. I do love the line when she says “I have a friend with red hair. You cannot give this to her.” It’s funny. This drug basically turns Michael into Tilly. So imagine what it would turn Tilly into. The new round phasers are kinda cool. Michael certainly likes them, her appreciation enhanced in her drugged state. As much as I don’t endorse the use of drugs in any way, it’s kind of nice to see a more playful side of Burnham. She’s really letting her hair down, so to speak. I’m realising now, just how much of her vulcan conditioning she still clings to most of the time. In the end, Michael has to steal the dilithium because Book can’t buy it. And then we learn that Book has a site-to-site transporter. And so begins a game of cat and mouse and they beam away, and are quickly followed by the guards, only to beam somewhere else again. It’s a great way to show off more of this wonderful location. And we notice that not all the guards are Andorian and Orion. There’s a Lurian among them. You know, one of Morn’s mates. The lurian is bald, just like Morn, which is interesting, because we learned, in Deep Space Nine, that most Lurians have hair. Morn lost all of his because he was storing liquid latinum in his second stomach. I think this is a case of “it would be more correct for this lurian to have hair, but who wants to see that? We want to see the familiar bald look because it gives us nostalgia for Deep Space Nine, and Morn in particular. So I’m okay with it. Afterall, who says other Lurians can’t lose their hair? There are plenty of bald humans in the world. Then we’re introduced to Book’s super power. He speaks in an alien language, that sounds somewhat like Hebrew, a glyph glows on his forehead, and a plant grows out of the water. The plant produces a substance that can heal Michael’s wounds. Book says that what he was doing was “something like” praying. He seems to have a connection to nature. We’ll see him use it to command an animal later on. Book has figured out that Michael is a time traveller. He doesn’t know how she got her hands on what brought her here, but we learn that all temporal technology was destroyed and outlawed after the temporal wars. Nice to get some closure of that temporal cold war thing from Enterprise. Because we are further forward into the future than the time Agent Daniels came from. This is important because if time-travel was still prevalent, then our heroes could return home. But this was always meant to be a one-way trip for the sake of the story. They get back to the ship but the guards have tracked them down again. When the Andorian says “What good is a courier who lets his cargo get stolen” and the dodgy bloke says “I’m the best runner in the galaxy”, it sounded very reminiscent of Han Solo. But then he gets shot. These guards want Book’s cargo. Book relenets and opens his cargo hold. There’s an animal in the3re. A giant slug thing, When they let it out, it eats the guards. What exactly were they thinking? Why would you come here to take possession of a dangerous animal, but have no way to contain it? Anyway, after eating the guards, it swallows Michael. But Book uses his magic powers again and convinces the slug, which he calls Molly, to vomit her back out. I don’t really have any opinion on Book’s powers yet, because I just don’t know enough about them. Anway, Molly seems very friendly now. So they’re now flying through space at warp speed. We’ve come to realise the truth of Book’s mission. He’s not just a courier. He’s an environmentalist. He’s rescuing these animals, endangered species, and returning them to their homeworld. I like the red trees on the transworm planet. It’s a simple thing but it makes a place look suitably alien. Now that his job is done, Book knows somebody who might be able to help Michael find her ship. He takes her to see that guy from the very beginning of the episode. Remember him? He lives on an old Federation relay station. The guy’s name is Sahil. Michael is excited to meet him, but he’s in awe to meet her. He can’t find Discovery. But we learn there are two Federation ships out there. So not all is completely gone. But Sahil can’t scan beyond several sectors. Long range sensors failed decades ago. On first viewing, I thought this was a widespread problem in the universe, but now, I Think it’s just because the long range sensors on this space station are damaged. So maybe this is not related to the burn after all. But he says he imagines it is the same for all others, so who knows. It seems Discovery either landed somewhere a long way away, or it hasn’t arrived yet. IT could arrive tomorrow, or in a thousand years. Sahil explains that he’s not a commissioned officer. Several generations of his family have run this facility, but when Sahil took over, there was nobody left to swear him in. But what about the two other ships out there? Couldn't he ask them? Anyway, for 40 years, he’s been waiting for a genuine Starfleet office to come. Michael is that hope. Sahil doesn't know how much of the federation still exists, but he does his own little part to keep the dream of it alive. And that’s when Michael hangs the flag for him. Only a commissioned officer may raise it. This episode seems to be using the terms Federation and Starfleet interchangeably. But they’re not the same thing. Very closely related, of course, but Starfleet and The Federation are two distinct things. The Federation is a political alliance of worlds. Starfleet is their scientific, exploration and military service. So, while she hasn’t yet found her friends, Michael has a new purpose. She commissions Sahil. Together, they will seek out others and help to rebuild the dream of the Federation. So let’s examine this new world we find ourselves in. The utopia of the Federation is gone. In its place we now have a somewhat dystopian future. It seems they like to do that a lot. Discovery Season 1 plunged us into war with the Klingons. Our characters had to fight to get their utopia back. Then Picard season 1 turned Starfleert somewhat dystopian by having them be corrupt, due to certain influences. And now Discovery season 3 and yet again given us a Star Trek dystopia. It’s starting to feel like alex Kurtzman and his team really like dystopia, and are not actually that enamoured with the traditional utopian view of Star Trek. Deep Space Nine actually pushed back against the utopia a bit, and in my opinion did it more effectively than anything else has since. There are those out there who are not fans of this trend. I can understand that. I’m not particularly bothered, but I’m definitely noticing a trend. One question people like to ask is “What would Gene Roddenberry think? I’m convinced he wouldn’t have liked Star Trek Picard. He was always against Starfleet being portrayed in a negative light. I believe he didn’t even like what they did in Star Trek VI. But you know what, I suspect he’d have liked this. Why? Because of another show he created called Andromeda. It followed a similar plot to this. An officer from a great utopian alliance was thrust into the future where his government no longer existed. He strove to re-build it. And that’s the essence of what we’re seeing here. A determination to re-build the ideals of the Federation. There’s a whole lot of optimism to it. And that concludes the first episode of season 3. I enjoyed it. There’s a lot we still don’t know. But I’m excited that our heroes have a whole new Star Trek universe to explore, and I’m looking forward to exploring it with them. I suspect this is going to be a good season. It’s the first one that has been produced without massive disruption behind the scenes in the writers’ room, so that alone is promising. I like Book. He’s a cool character and I’m looking forward to seeing his arc across the season. Don’t forget, I have a book series out called Jewel of The Stars. It follows the passengers and crew of a cruise ship in space, boldly travelling through unexplored space, after Earth fell to an alien occupation. Just like the crew of Discovery, they’re all on their own. You can read the first book completely free on Wattpad, or get it wherever eBooks are sold for 99 cents. It’s also in paperback. I’m working on edits to book 3, but I’ve been a bit delayed because my day job has really been kicking my butt lately. But hopefully that’s mostly over, and I can get on with life again. I’ll see you again next week, when we discuss the second episode of Discovery season 3, which strangely enough, is not called That Hope is You Part 2, it’s called Far From Home. Catch you then. Live long and prosper. Make it so.

This week on Priority One --- We 'Trek Out' the announcement of Star Trek: “Strange New Worlds” and Akiva Goldsman already has some comments; we learn how filming could restart during the pandemic, and Sir Patrick shares some thoughts on Picard! In Star Trek Gaming, Star Trek Online’s Mudd’s Market floods us with some insanely expensive choices…. And our featured presentation is a sit down with Star Trek’s Jonathan Del Arco! Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Would you like to see Jeffery Combs play Dr. Boyce? Why or why not? AND CQ: Are you interested in the new Mudd’s Market bundle? What ships would you choose? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan On Friday May 15th, ViacomCBS made the OFFICIAL announcement that Anson Mount’s Christopher Pike would be getting his own series. Along with a brief description of the upcoming show, titled “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, we were treated to a video featuring the show's three stars - the aforementioned Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn. In the video, the trio thanked fans for their continued support, and Mount promised ”We’re going to get to work on a classic Star Trek show that deals with optimism and the future. And I guess there’s only one more thing to say - Hit It” The series Executive Producers include Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, Jenny Lumet, Henry Alonso Myers, Heather Kadin, and our very own Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth! The premiere’s story was hashed out by Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, and Jenny Lumet, and Goldsman gets the screenplay credit. Star Trek “Captain” Alex Kurtzman said in a release ”When we said we heard the fans’ outpouring of love for Pike, Number One and Spock when they boarded Star Trek: Discovery last season, we meant it. These iconic characters have a deep history in Star Trek canon, yet so much of their stories has yet to be told. With Akiva and Henry at the helm, the Enterprise, its crew and its fans are in for an extraordinary journey to new frontiers in the Star Trek universe.” No release date was announced, but the project was given a “series order”, and it sounds like the premiere script is ready to go. WE’RE GETTING A PIKE SERIES!!! Akiva Goldsman With Variety Discussing “Strange New Worlds” Did you hear we’re getting a new Star Trek series? One of the architects of the upcoming “Strange New Worlds”, Akiva Goldsman, sat down with Variety to talk a bit more about the project. Goldsman’s goal is to hew closer to The Original Series ”We’re going to try to harken back to some classical ‘Trek’ values, to be optimistic, and to be more episodic. Obviously, we will take advantage of the serialized nature of character and story building. But I think our plots will be more closed-ended than you’ve seen in either ‘Discovery’ or ‘Picard.”. Goldsman continued ”I imagine it to be closer to the original series than even ‘DS9,'. We can really tell closed-ended stories. We can find ourselves in episodes that are tonally of a piece.” But Goldsman clarified that this won’t be EXACTLY like the episodic adventures of years past, telling Variety ”I think one thing that we always struggled with [as fans] was that Kirk is heartbroken at the loss of Edith Keeler in ‘The City on the Edge of Forever’ and has to be just fine the next week. I think what we would want to do is keep the characters having moved through and recognizing the experiences they’ve had in previous episodes, but to be able to tell contained, episodic stories.” Could Jeffery Combs Show Up in “Strange New Worlds” Imagine - if you dare - not only getting “Strange New Worlds”, but also getting the incomparable Jeffrey Combs as part of the crew. Star Trek twitter presence “Andorian Soup” has dared to imagine just that. On May 16th, Andorian Soup - whose avatar is Shran from Star Trek: Enterprise - posted a side-by-side photo of Jeffrey Combs and John Hoyt, the actor who played ship physician and Pike confidant Dr. Phillip Boyce in “The Cage”. The resemblance between the two actors is certainly undeniable. So what are the chances that the prolific actor could play the wise Doctor? According to Combs, not high. Replying to Andorian Soup’s Twitter post, Combs himself said ”Thank you. Nice thought, but the chasm between what fans want and what the studios want make the chances of it happening slim to none.... and Slim left town.”. That doesn’t mean the Star Trek veteran wouldn’t be interested. When asked if he’d be open to the possibility, Combs replied ”Of course. I love Star Trek. Star Trek is life.” Patrick Stewart Teases Picard Season 2 Though we are obviously excited for the newly announced “Strange New Worlds”, there were other interesting Trek nuggets for our proverbial dipping that did not include Pike and the gang. This week, Sir Patrick Stewart sat down with Gold Derby to discuss his experience with HIS Trek offering, Star Trek: Picard. Sir Patrick reiterated his initial hesitation for playing the legendary Captain again, but revealed that he thought season 1 may be his last time doing so. Stewart recalled reading the script for the series finale, saying ”the writers had been a little bit undercover about that aspect of how series one was going to end. I learned it from reading the script, and when I saw that Picard collapsed and died when he was on that alien planet, I thought, ‘Oh my lord, I’m being written out of the show?” Instead, Picard lives on with an “artificial life inside me, but not a subservient, cruel one like the Borg. Well, we shall see. We don’t know how Picard will with this new condition that has become part of his life.” Stewart also teased what’s to come in Season 2, telling Gold Derby ”There are startling events predicted in Season 2. I’m so excited about them, because it is taking season one from where we were, we aren’t going to be covering the same ground. And it’s going to be, I think, extraordinary. I’m very excited about it.” Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Shane Hoover Mudd Plays With Time Again… Again? Well it’s a slow news week for Star Trek gaming, but there’s one very big talking point from Star Trek Online! In a STO News blog posted May 19th, Ambassador Kael announced the latest new offerings from Mudd’s Market. And, according to the blog itself, “it’s one of our craziest bundles ever!” In the usual Mudd’s Market style, the bundle is listed with two “prices”. There’s the so-called regular price, which is 29,500 Zen, or nearly $300 in cash. Then there’s the sale price, at which the bundle is available to players until 5/26, which is 14,750 Zen, or nearly $150 in cash. So what does that significant investment get you? That’s where this bundle gets really interesting. Because, unlike other Mudd’s Market offerings, this bundle is all about choices. You get to choose THREE of these six items: Amarie-class Heavy Escort [T6] Temporal Science Vessel [T6] - Account-wide reclaim of faction-appropriate ship. Temporal Destroyer [T6] - Account-wide reclaim of faction-appropriate ship. 2 Zen Store T6 ship 100% off coupons 10x Ultimate Tech Upgrades A Phoenix pack Epic prize token which will unlock a character-locked ship So when you’ve purchased the bundle and claimed your three choices, any ships chosen will be forever reclaimable on all of your characters. You can also purchase the bundle as many times as you want. So, purchasing the bundle twice could get you all six choices. And subsequent purchases of the bundle after that would get you more T6 ship coupons, Ultimate Tech Upgrades, and Epic Phoenix prize tokens. That is, you know, if you wanted to spend $450 or more on STO. STO’s Groupees Fundraiser We’ve already covered Star Trek Online’s charity fundraiser for Pop Culture Hero Coalition and United Way Bay Area, but it’s worth mentioning two updates tweeted this week to the game’s Twitter account. First, they’ve restocked the $10 bundles, so if you missed out before, now’s your chance. Second, the tweet declared that the Groupees bundles have raised nearly $110,000 for the two charities. So, a big congratulations to Star Trek Online, and to its players, for their efforts!

Ruthie and Brian discuss the finale of the Season 2 Short Treks, Children of Mars, written by Kirsten Beyer & Jenny Lumet & Alex Kurtzman, and directed by Mark Pellington. This Short Trek is categorized as an episode of The Star Trek Picard Cast because it has ties to Star Trek: Picard. We both loved it, Brian probably more than Ruthie.
Star Trek: Short Treks, Season 2 Episode 6: Children of Mars We’re back with not just another episode of The Star Trek Discovery Podcast! Wait, no it isn’t! This time, it’s an episode of The Star Trek Picard Cast! That’s because this Short Trek deals with events that precede Star Trek: Picard!!! This time, Ruthie and I cover the sixth and final Short Trek of Season 2: Children of Mars, which was written by Chris Silvestri & Anthony Maranville, and directed by Michael Giacchino; and The Girl Who Made the Stars, which was written by Brandon Schultz and directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. Both of these animated Short Treks were released Thursday, January 9, 2020. Some housekeeping… Our last episode was originally released on The Star Trek Picard Cast feed exclusively. Unfortunately, we noticed a sharp decline in downloads from the previous Picard episode that was very evident upon its release. We realized by making the content exclusive to the Picard feed, we unintentionally made it difficult for our existing listeners to find us. We decided to reverse our decision. Going forward, all Picard episodes will be found on the Discovery feed AND the Picard feed. If you want both podcasts, you only need to subscribe to the Discovery feed only. If you only want Picard episodes, subscribe to the Picard feed. Of course, if you want all of the episodes in Fred’s Pics! Fred from The Netherlands was kind enough to send us images for this Short Trek, and we used many of them here! First of all, we have some feedback on the last episode… We had feedback for the last episode about the other characters in Picard. More of that below. Errata! I made three mistakes in this episode, all in the same section of the episode. When I read over feedback from previous episodes, I said it was from STDP 047, but that was incorrect. In fact, I missed that feedback altogether. The feedback I read was from STPC 002, which I didn’t even mention that I was going to read! We will have to cover episode 47 feedback for our next regular episode. Also, I said that Ship in a Bottle was TNG S6E13. I was off by one. It’s S6E12. OK OK… It’s a pretty small thing, but there were mistakes and I’m calling myself out on them! I also neglected to mention an error I made last episode. Icheb, the Star Trek: Voyager ex-Borg adolescent, DID NOT die. His character lived.

Star Trek: Discovery – Season 2, Episode 14: Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2 – Feedback and News (3 of 3) For episode 41 of The Star Trek Discovery Podcast, Ruthie and I complete our discussion of Season 2 Episode 14 of Star Trek: Discovery, which is titled, Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2. This episode was written by Michelle Paradise & Jenny Lumet & Alex Kurtzman, and directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. For this episode, we go through voicemails and other general feedback, our notes, and news. Third of three This is our third and final podcast covering this episode. We recommend that you start our coverage of the season finale by listening to episode 39, and then listen to episode 40. In episode 39, we go over feedback from the previous episode, and also ratings and Yeses. In episode 40, we cover Nos and Hold Your Horses. Fred’s Pics! Like the last episode, the images were chosen by Fred from The Netherlands, including the cover image. We let Fred’s pics do the talking for us! We have a supersized amount of pics for this episode, divided between this episode and last week’s episode 40, with a few pics in episode 39. These pictures cover the second half of the episode. What we thought about Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2… After a week, I still love the episode, but I am more sensitive to its flaws and maybe it’s not quite as good as I originally thought. Why couldn’t they beam out Cornwell? Why would Control break down after Leland is neutralized? For that matter, why didn’t Control go after Burnham? How was Ash able to be on the Chancellor’s ship, leading the fight? How did the Kelpiens go from their primitive state to piloting fighters in such a short time? These are all nitpicks to me, though, and don’t affect my ultimate rating, at least that much. Ford Pinto! A couple of things I mentioned in the episode were the Ford Pinto and the AVE Mizar. But one thing I didn’t realize about the AVE Mizar during the recording was that the inventors of the “roadable aircraft” were killed in a test flight. I don’t feel so great about making fun of it anymore, because of knowing those unfortunate circumstances. That’s it for Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2! We are taking a well-deserved hiatus. We plan to be back sometime in June. At that time, we plan to do a Season 2 roundtable episode. We’ll cover other feedback we haven’t had a chance to answer yet, and any other feedback we get on these last three episodes after that. While you can respond to this episode or the previous two, so we will not be covering any feedback received until episode 42 at the earliest, but probably not until episode 43 or 44. Send in your feedback! You can submit feedback via the feedback page

While you can respond to this episode or the previous two, so we will not be covering any feedback received until episode 42 at the earliest, but probably not until episode 43 or 44.

Star Trek: Discovery – Season 2, Episode 14: Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2 For episode 40 of The Star Trek Discovery Podcast, Ruthie and I continue our discussion of Season 2 Episode 14 of Star Trek: Discovery, which is titled, Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2. This episode was written by Michelle Paradise & Jenny Lumet & Alex Kurtzman, and directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. So, for this episode, we are focussing on the parts of the episode that our listeners and we had problems with – and we highlight them in our Nos and Hold Your Horses sections. Because this is our second podcast covering this episode, we recommend you start our coverage of the season finale by listening to episode 39 if you haven’t already done so. In that episode, we go over feedback from the previous episode, but also ratings and Yeses. Because we had so much feedback for this episode, there will be a third episode to follow. Thanks go out to my co-host on Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Kyle, for doing most of the editing on this one! I finally got a bit of a break! Fred’s Pics! We go back to our previous format and use pics chosen by Fred from The Netherlands, including the cover image. And Fred’s pics do the talking for us! Because we have a supersized amount of pics for this episode, divided between this episode and episode 41 when it’s released. So, you’ll see more pics next time! These pictures cover the first half of the episode. What we thought about Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2… We both loved this episode, and it was probably one of the best ones of the series. That said, though we all (but one person) rated it highly, it does have flaws. Like the previous episode, this episode is greater than the sum of its parts. It is interesting, though, for an episode to score so high in ratings, yet have as many Nos and Hold Your Horses highlighted. By the way, a lot of people are really psyched about Discovery heading to the future but I’m not so sure. It feels like a bit of a copout, to be honest, done to appease some of the angry fanbase, some that will never be satisfied no matter what they do. I worry that setting it so far in the future may make all other series prequels to Discovery, the opposite problem they had before, hampering shows like the Picard show, the Section 31 show, and other shows coming down the road. I would have much preferred Discovery end up in the same era as the Picard show will be, so they could play in the same sandbox, so to speak. Maybe they will end up there? Who knows. More coverage of Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2 next week! We’ll be back next week with even more coverage of the season finale, covering your feedback, our notes that haven’t been discussed yet, and news, adding in some additional news that’s happened since we recorded. While you can respond to this episode, we will not be covering any feedback received until episode 42 at the earliest.

Finally, at 56:03, we get into the season finale. When we recorded on Easter Sunday, our combined sessions went over six hours raw. We had initially decided to cover them in two episodes, but what we had envisioned as the second episode ended up too large, and we’ll be splitting those into episodes 40 and 41. This episode starts the discussion of the season finale with episode ratings and things we and our listeners gave a YES to. The next episode, episode 40, will cover NO’s and Hold Your Horses.

Turns out there was too much juicy goodness in the Star Trek Discovery season finale "Such Sweet Sorrow Part 2" that we needed to break this second part up into two additional parts. Part two will be dropping real shortly, so let the almost obscene number of events that transpire in the first half marinate until then.

Russell Simmons is stepping down from his companies in the wake of an accusation of harassment and sexual assault. Simmons, the founder of hip-hop music label Def Jam Recordings and CEO of Rush Communications, released a statement on Thursday after screenwriter Jenny Lumet accused him of forcing her to have sex with him in 1991. She detailed the encounter in a guest column published by The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday. "I have been informed with great anguish of Jenny Lumet's recollection about our night together in 1991," Simmons said in a statement. "I know Jenny and her family and have seen her several times over the years since the evening she described. While her memory of that evening is very different from mine, it is now clear to me that her feelings of fear and intimidation are real. While I have never been violent, I have been thoughtless and insensitive in some of my relationships over many decades and I sincerely and humbly apologize."

Leigh Stein and Lux Alptraum are the guests. They are co-directors, with Jenny Lumet, of a non-profit organization called Out of the Binders. It is devoted to advancing the careers of women and gender non-conforming writers. Had a great time with Leigh and Lux. It's very impressive what they've built. We sat down in the wake of BinderCon LA and talked about gender politics and community-building and how much work it takes to run a grassroots organization. It's one thing to know about social injustices; it's another thing to do something about them. These guys are doers. And they're helping an awful lot of people. In today's monologue, I talk about AWP and the LA Times Festival of Books. And I plug my upcoming appearances at Literary Death Match and the Lit/Comedy Roundtable. Learn more about your ad choices.
