As this is an unannounced Star Trek series, not many details are currently known. Our first indication of this new series comes from the USPTO – United States Patent and Trademark Office. The filing details clearly list “a multimedia series featuring animation distributed via various platforms”. Additionally, another source is a casting website. This site is specifically requesting young actors and actresses for a YouTube Short Series. So it’s possible this could air on the Nick Jr. YouTube channel.

It seems Star Trek: Starfleet Scouts will be something like Disney+ and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures. This Star Wars series originally started as six shorts on YouTube before it gained a full season order. It has been an excellent success for Disney+, with two full 20+ episode seasons released and a third in production.

Based on casting information, the new animated series will focus on three 8-9-year-old friends as they go to school on an earth-like planet. The series will follow their adventures as they train to become future Starfleet explorers. This information seems like a step before Starfleet Academy. The characters of Starfleet Scouts are described as “Cool, funny, heroic, and authentic”.

 

The most significant change will add protections for defenceless receivers. A 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down will now be called when a hit is delivered at or below the knees of a player who is in the act of catching a pass while in a vulnerable position. This protection does not exist if the receiver leaves his feet and jumps while catching the pass.

I think it's worth mentioning, assuming the National is a respectable publication (I really don't know my UK media).

Yeah, it's like how I try not to begrudge YouTubers who make those thumbnails, no matter how much they enrage me.

The BBC’s announcement came during the second semi-final, reportedly just minutes after Israel’s entrant Yuval Raphael qualified for the final.

Are they trying to draw a connection here, and if so, does it hold any weight?

I had never heard that "Father's Day" had been set to be an unplanned Doctor-lite episode.

one went verbatim, in its entirety: “Doctor Who’s Ncuti Gatwa withdraws from BBC role - and here’s who’s replacing him”

The baitiest clickbait of all.

Yeah, we've seen similar circumstances with Shirley and Morris. And, I guess, Rose Noble.

In principle, I don't hate the idea - it can help make the organization seem big and busy, if they do it right. Sending Mel off to investigate Sydney Harbour in "Lucky Day" was a fun way to lay some groundwork for the spinoff.

I'd completely forgotten that Susan Triad joined UNIT at the end of season one...

I'm not normally one for fan chants, but that was good comedy.

Depending on the circumstances, they could just be respecting the families' wishes.

I was never any good with music theory, but I knew someone would appreciate it.

Clothes very similar to the stereotypical “african clothes”

Could you expand on that, ideally with pictures of what you're talking about? L'Rell's outfit, for example, hardly screams "Africa" to me.

they got the actor of Tyler as a way to have an “exotic” accent

"Exotic" meaning what? Which race is he mimicking?

voodoo religious rituals

I know very little about the Voodoo religion, so could you please tell me which of its rituals were incorporated into the show?

they commit terrorist suicide attacks as well

And this is a known racist trope about Africans (since you seem to have settled on African, or at least "Black" stereotypes)? Because otherwise, you seem to be saying it's a racist depiction of...a bunch of different races, based on the fact that the characters do things that humans also do sometimes.

Or to make it more obvious, they are shown like “exotic brown people who hate the white ones

"Brown"
