For my money, it doesn't get any more epic than the Abzorbaloff.

Chaos and cloister bells? Just another Saturday...

I bet it's the Ran--

Dammit.

Oh for sure, I suppose there's a reason I said absolutely nothing about the story itself. It gets by on vibes, but they're fun vibes

Thanks - I find the "reformed" Senate fascinating.

Glitches in the video aside, this is pretty interesting. I'll try to replace it with the corrected version when it becomes available.

Edit: fixed!

Perhaps "urban" is the wrong word, but it ain't exactly Cestus III, y'know?

As someone who's not familiar with the LA area, it blows my mind that those things are basically in the middle of an urban area.

Thank you for sharing - we appreciate any and all first-person accounts of events!

I have to admit, when they first announced the Fan Fest Nights, my initial reaction was that it sounded like it would be kind of cheap and disappointing. But it seems like they did a really nice job of the Trek event, along with some of the others that I've read about (especially Back to the Future).

Full credit to their fans for starting an initiative to donate $55 to the True North Foundation, though. Very classy, and worthy of mention.

So is the protowarp merely a more powerful version of the warp drive?

That was my takeaway - it's got the power to propel the ship (much) higher into the warp 9.9XXXXX range.

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.
