I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn’t

Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison’s son, David Ellison, and being that, it’s impossible for him to run out of money.

I hope he’s a Trekkie.

He met some cosplayers who built one by following the historical documents.

I hope that our real first contact will be peaceful, the beginning of a partnership, and opening humanity to a wider universe, rather than a prelude to war and destruction for either party.

Is ST: Discovery any good?

I don’t hear much about it.

I haven’t seriously watched any ST since DS9.

You’re a Romulan spy too?

Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one!

That death scene re-do was pretty good!

I remember going through that Star Trek: The Experience deck, and they let me sit in the captains chair for a paid souvenir photo!

That was a really cool attraction, and I was disappointed when I learned it was taken down.

I’d forgotten about Creation Cons…

And after looking at the money grubbing sessions that they were, I remember why now…

It’s kind of cool to know the actors are still around though, to see how they look without the makeup (ROM!!!) and it’s hard to begrudge them the opportunity for a quick buck.

Almost, but quite to point of human “jobs” in The Culture books, where benevolent AIs actually run everything. Humans are considered by the AIs as pets.
