The Relaunch novelverse is great even if an alternate timeline. The screenwriters are aware of it, and have woven some of its elements into onscreen plot lines.

David Mack who wrote this and many other well received novels was a consultant for the early seasons of both Prodigy and Lower Decks.

The book that goes deep into the heart of Breen space and culture is called ‘Zero Sum Game’. It’s Bashir and an old colleague sucked into spy stuff. The most awesome Captain Ezri Dax makes a significant appearance too.

Ok, since no one else has mentioned it, I’m going to mention how the Typhon Pact formed in the Relaunch novelverse.

Different cataclysm, but divided remnants of the Romulans joined up with the Tholians, Breens and assorted others to establish a competitor to the Federation, which was seen as failing its perimeter members planets and species.

Archer being the worst captain, while being on track to becoming a founder of the Federation etc. was what made me bail on the show for a long time.

I really came to loathe Archer, and writing T’Pol as having respect for him really damaged her character over time.

Uhm, I don’t need the Romulan Supernova to be tied up with a bow.

But I also appreciate that writers like to be able to be the ones to bring closure to their own stories. Alex Kurtzman was the cowriter of Star Trek (2009). I can see how he would like to be the one to lay down the incontrovertible canon that ties the loose ends that the Kelvin movies and Picard have left us with. And he’s co Showrunner of Discovery so it was his vehicle to do it with.

So, I would be cool if this resolves some things and helps us to understand better the butterfly effect that destroyed a civilization, split the resilient Prime time and perhaps even give us some deeper hints on what caused the Mirror Universe to split off.

Or just tag one of the artists who posts on Mastodon. They’ll get the notification and can decide whether they want to respond here or not.

Vfx head Brian Tatosky did that when I that on another post.

Unfortunately, I can’t recall which of the animators have seen posting on Mastodon.

Clearly, the ability to be outside in appropriate clothing for activities isn’t being mandated. This is where a temperate climate enables ridiculous practices to persist.

All I can think about when I see this image is how in Ontario, the responsible provincial ministry requires all schools and ‘day nurseries’ (read day and after school care) to put the kids out in the yards twice a day unless the weather conditions are severe (Less than -20 or more than +30 Celsius.).

Parents are responsible to send their kids with suitable clothing for the cold. One rarely sees little girls in skirts in schools unless they are wearing tunic dresses over leggings.

In an earlier era, pre 1970s, when skirts were mandatory for girls, that meant switching to pants or snow pants from the skirts 3 times a day to go outside in winter (two breaks and leaving end of day).

Emily Coutts (Detmer) and Oyin Oladego (Owo) are never listed with the main cast characters. They and others like Patrick Kwok-Choon (Gen Rhys) are credited in the ‘also starring’ list in the post credits not in the main titles.

No reason not to believe Emily won’t be back. Oyin was in production as the lead in an independent feature last year so there may have been a scheduling issue as there was for Ronnie Rowe Jr (Bryce) when he was in production for his lead role in BET+ Series ‘The Porter’ during production of Discovery season 4.

Most of these Canadian actors filling in the bridge crew work on other Canadian projects which seem to be more crucial for advancing their careers even if working on Discovery was a regular income.

Brilliant thank you!

I remember seeing this. One wonders why this hasn’t been included in the BlueRays or included with the DS9 library on Paramount+.

If you’re on Mastodon, I’d recommend sharing it with the current vfx head Brian Tatosky (@virtualbri@mastodon.online).

The crowdfunding stage ended a few months ago, but I don’t see how to order copies once it’s published.

Anyone figure that out?

I love TAS. It was MOD.

It embraced the psychedelic colour palette of the early 70s. It also was determined to use the medium of animation to tell stories in a way that TOS couldn’t.
