Well, saw the episode. But all the going for shock and eek and ick didn't really impress, especially when the story basically has no resolution other than "beats us shrug".

That is already way more passion and/or giving a frak about Scouts than I could muster even if you paid me.

Well thank heavens, the anniversary year is saved. 🙄

Well I just watched it, but I don't know what to do with it. It just kinda...happened. Other than a few moments here and there, I didn't really get much out of it. Eh.

And I really don't need Pelia dropping more Doctor Who references. One time was amusing and enough.

 

Also on the games front with all the recent news dropping like Shadow Frontier and Outposts Unknown, a short but interesting interview with the person in charge of Paramount's Games Group.

 

More new gaming coming. For Windows/Mac via Steam.

 

Star Trek horror game incoming, I guess. Michelle Forbes returns as Ro Laren, your main character in the game.

Just saw an interesting bit on his Bluesky, Mike McMahan's story in this issue is the idea he had for how a season 6 of Lower Decks would have kicked off.

Naturally I'm watching debates about the canonicity claim break out in assorted places.

As far as I can find, the whole “it’s canon” claim comes from Webtoons in their press release, and no one from Paramount is being quoted making that claim. Unless there’s a separate Paramount press release I can’t find.

So this whole claim is just silly.

 

Announced yesterday (see page 11 of the PDF).

 

FWIW if anyone was still wondering if they'd do anything to fix the reported cliffhanger SFA is going to end on, or if there was a chance in hell that Year One would be a thing.
