I really wish Hallmark put more effort into reaching younger fans with their collections.
And even older fans like me would like some merch from the newer shows and not just more TNG, and TOS or even Enterprise.
Do they have any kind of realistic focus groups informing these selections?
The waiting period for a better offer seems like a deft way to fend off ‘if only’ lawsuits from nonvoting shareholders.
Interesting gamesmanship.
A 90 minute animated streaming movie for either Netflix or Paramount could be great.
I suspect you’re correct on this.
I have been looking for a ‘special presentation’ on CTV linear as they have a track record of inserting those when they’re out of alignment with streaming releases.
Checking the CTV Sci-fi schedule on Thursday, July 5th at 9 pm - the usual slot for new Star Trek - Snowpiercer is shown. The rest of the evening has the usual Star Trek Voyager reruns.
Sigh.
The closest Chapman’s flavour to that might be Premium Chocolate & Brownies Ice Cream, but Rok herself might like the classic Rocket ice Lollies.
TrekCore is saying that in Canada season 1 will be available on the CTV app.
😞😢😭😿😿😿
The app won’t carry any new episodes On Demand until one day after they run on cable.
But the second season isn’t showing as a future option so that’s concerning.
I have to say that this makes me rather sad.
Instead of drawing folks into the fandom tent with adjacent topics or broadening the discussion of established fans, it’s creating less conversation.
I think that there’s a place for a ‘discuss the health of the instance’ conversation on a separate dedicated community, but also a Trek-adjacent general and open discussion. I consider Frakes’ career as a sci-fi director or the Paramount saga as adjacent.
As long as it meets the norms of the instance in terms of civility, why not? Are the admins/mods truly being flooded with a high volume of spam from outside on Quarks?
Last, I would like to note that without Quark’s being open, I doubt we’d have had the interest to create the Dr Who community. I think that it’s cool that it percolated up through the discussion.
