The problem with Strange New Worlds to me is the budget and the number of episodes.

Budget, too high. Number of episodes, too low.

Every star trek has their stinky episodes but when you only have 10 episodes per season, 3 stinky episodes is a 30% stinky show.

Also, the budget being so high allows writers to take a siesta and let the effects team take over for a bunch of oooh ahhh laser spectacles. I have that complaint for the end of Deep Space Nine and Enterprise too. In TNG and TOS era, they had less budget and ability to do effects so the writing had to be excellent since most of the show was people standing on the bridge and talking or sitting around a table and talking.

So Paramount/WB, spend less money, spend all you have on writers and makeup and try a new star trek set directly post-undiscovered-country. Follow a Klingon ship that is pissed about their government being dishonorable and wants to forge their own way. Start the show with the attack on Khitomer. Game of thrones-lite Klingon-Romulan-Federation political intrigue. Cameos of the occasional TNG character at Starfleet academy or whatever. Enjoy the billion dollars WB/Paramount. Not that youll need it as one of the 3 remaining media conglomerates left.

People still watch sports. And Fox sports is still a major thing.

They knew that it was a bad idea in 1983

Personally I dont see it. She was good but not amazing in my opinion.

Wow!

Almost as useful as Windows 10 now.

There’s no magic answer. My best advice having wasted half my life trying to accomplish what seemed like a “good life” I ended up nearly broke and divorced with almost nothing but suffering to show for my time.

Now I pursue what makes me happy and only try to be as successful as I need to be so that I can keep doing what makes me happy. One day I’ll be dead, and then whatever pile of shit I accumulated will be unceremoniously thrown in the trash by a distant relative. But if I can build something or help someone, then that’s what I feel like doing with my time. Its not hedonism but its sort of a disengage ment from the rat race. Im not trying to get rich or gain power, I’m trying to relax and enjoy my life and help people while I can.

People probably say that about asbestos too.

This kind of happened at one point.

You can tell by the way I use my wand, Im a woman-man no automaton.

Stayin Alive circa 2001 on my crappy boombox .

Very possibly so. I’m also not a huge believer in the sanctity of lore when you are adapting something to a different medium. IE, didnt miss Tom Bombadil in the Lord if the Rings movies so I’m pretty easy going as long as the adaptation is good in its own right.

Same here just finished it a few weeks ago.

I never read the books but for my money I thought the last season was really good. It maybe didnt end the way I wanted it to but it wasnt a bad ending by any means.

We never played that way in my circles but when I would play with 2 people reverse basically did nothing so we would start with 9 cards and reverse would do the same thing as a skip.

Oh no. How come?

Fedora baybee!

Maximum hardware enablement,

New Kernals all the time.

I can watch all of my “Linux Isos” I torrented out of the box

Logo is cool infinity F.

We finally get a live action Spider’s-Man or we revolt.

I had one of these circa 2003 or 2004. It had the form factor of a giant SNES controller and th screen flipped up out of the middle.

I want to say that mine only claimed 99 games.

This but real.

As if they couldn’t get any more despicably evil.

This article is pretty disingenuous. I would have expected CNBC to actually bring up economic factors at play besides just inflation.

For instance, tarrifs on imported goods raising the price of food packaging, rising fuel costs that have almost doubled the freight cost in just the last 12 months and also most importantly, the blatant gouging that the 4 food producing conglomerates have been perpetuating on consumers since 2022.

1 company makes all the crackers, all the crackers are expensive. All the chicken produced goes through 2 companies, what incentive do they ever have to lower prices again. Just double the cost, sell half as much but also cut production cost in half and suddenly you are making a bigger profit than before. Poor people can’t afford to buy anything you make anymore? Oh well, line is going up!
