    @Kirwan said in 50 Years of Star Trek:

    possibly has been fired after a fist fight with a director

    😆 That would be great.

    He probably could go on shows that have 10x the viewership, with commensurate pay.

    He's given the show the two best moments of the season. His scene with the girl from the pilot on Talos IV and the end scene of episode 2.

    Has the Kirk-ish smirk down pat, and is the closest thing the show has to the old Trek notion of working together to solve problems.

    If they made a prequel show with him and even the new Spock on the Enterprise it would be good IMO. Flush the Discovery down the toilet.

    And The Orville has a classic TNG Holodeck style episode - and a Star Trek actor cameo.

    Rebecca Romijn (as Pike's 1st officer) was only on-screen for about 2 minutes. You've gotta wonder how much money they wasted on her.

    An expensive burger.

    Seriously, they have hidden a much better show with Pike, number one and Spock in the cast. Even the Enterprise looked fantastic, and the retro uniforms looked ace.

    It made everything they were doing look second best.

    @Kirwan Did you watch the Orville season finale?

    Some nice Star Wars bits.

    Yes, I really enjoyed it. Have a bad feeling (see what I did there..) that was a series finale as opposed to a season finale.

    Hope I’m wrong.

    They did the time travel thing pretty well, and improved the character depth at the same time. Just so well written.

    And I didn’t realise they were using models for the ships and then adding CGI glitz. Explains why it looks so good.

    @Kirwan Another fun episode from a show that has come a long way.

    Apparently MacFarlane recently said on a talk show something like this: "We went over budget this season, but I've still got a job." So I'm hopeful.

    He makes billions for Fox for the Family Guy, they should let him build another franchise. Could make a lot of money in merchandise.

    Imagine the stories he’ll be up to in season 4/5?

    Rumours that the Amazon decision could have sunk Discovery Season 3. Not enough cash to do both.
