    The Enterprise-A lasted less than a decade after either being built or massively refitted before it was decommissioned. I suspect that they were used as platforms for testing out new technologies and upgrades that left them not suited for long-term use, likely with each one having substantial differences to any other Connie in the fleet.

    Which might actually explain the "I know this ship like the back of my hand!" *thwack* scene in ST V. No, you knew the OLD Enterprise (no bloody A!) like the back of your hand.

    The service corridor roof on THIS one was installed by Tellarites. ;)

    True, although "Shatner's ego required every other beloved character to be portrayed as a doofus" is a much simpler explanation.

    I like the fanon theory that from the camping scene on, the rest of the movie is Kirk's booze-chili induced dream.

    Sounds like it's time to renew my Paramount + subscription....


    With Lower Decks and other Treks coming back next week and this South Park news, they should have worthwhile entertainment for the rest of the year.

    There you go, UA, FF, the libertarian transphobes will undo all the hard work of Trek, and you can feel safe again.

    What does "set in the world of South Park" mean? Is the writer just using phrases carelessly, or does that imply they're spinning off something in the same universe but without the characters?

    I can see it now, they'll do a Trek parody, and they'll slippery-slope Adira and Grey, and have Mr/Mrs Garrison be a pedophile character.

    And while Fox lost their shit and prevented Seth McFarlane from getting in a fight with Simpsons and/or South Park, Paramount execs will that shit fly in chilling icy silence.

    Throwing that prediction out there.

    First new episode drops tomorrow, and they still haven't slapped together a season 2 poster.
    :chris:

    It becomes noticeable, cuz Discovery and Picard were always right on that shit.
    :huh:
