So the OP seems to be suggesting that people wouldn’t be posting honest answers. . ?

Just a note that, while the listing on the Simon & Schuster website is for the US, the major ebook sellers in other countries usually offer the same or similar deals on TrekLit, updated monthly.
The best way to find out which deals are available in your country is to search ‘Star Trek’ and books/ebooks, then filter and sort by price.
In most countries, sorting lowest to highest will put all the ebook deals at the top. In some, like the UK, just set the filter to a low maxim price e.g., less than £2.99.
Episodes 6 & 8 are where long time fans usually fall in love with the show. Many of us find it the Trekiest thing ever.
But it very deliberately takes its time to get there. It’s like the lobster in the pot of hot water trick for kids formed with SW and other 3D kids animation. By the time they get to the end of the first half of season one, they’re fully into Star Trek, but without culture shock.
Why do you think he was demoted?
This seems to be another example of something fans seem to view as ‘canon’ but isn’t actually consistent with what was onscreen. A kind of ‘Mandela-effect’ headcanon.
In TOS, M’Benga was specifically asked by McCoy to come aboard and act for him as CMO while he was away. Asking a former CMO to come back, shadow you for a short period and then act for you makes a lot of sense when there are members of the crew of other or mixed species.
It was quite clear that M’Benga was in transition towards a Chief Medical Officer post on a Station. That would suggest M’Benga already had the rank and was qualified for the job.
Meta-wise, this was actually another one of Roddenberry’s backdoor pilots, this time for a Starfleet medical show based on a station.
Uhm, I don’t need the Romulan Supernova to be tied up with a bow.
But I also appreciate that writers like to be able to be the ones to bring closure to their own stories. Alex Kurtzman was the cowriter of Star Trek (2009). I can see how he would like to be the one to lay down the incontrovertible canon that ties the loose ends that the Kelvin movies and Picard have left us with. And he’s co Showrunner of Discovery so it was his vehicle to do it with.
So, I would be cool if this resolves some things and helps us to understand better the butterfly effect that destroyed a civilization, split the resilient Prime time and perhaps even give us some deeper hints on what caused the Mirror Universe to split off.
Or just tag one of the artists who posts on Mastodon. They’ll get the notification and can decide whether they want to respond here or not.
Vfx head Brian Tatosky did that when I that on another post.
Unfortunately, I can’t recall which of the animators have seen posting on Mastodon.
Clearly, the ability to be outside in appropriate clothing for activities isn’t being mandated. This is where a temperate climate enables ridiculous practices to persist.
All I can think about when I see this image is how in Ontario, the responsible provincial ministry requires all schools and ‘day nurseries’ (read day and after school care) to put the kids out in the yards twice a day unless the weather conditions are severe (Less than -20 or more than +30 Celsius.).
Parents are responsible to send their kids with suitable clothing for the cold. One rarely sees little girls in skirts in schools unless they are wearing tunic dresses over leggings.
In an earlier era, pre 1970s, when skirts were mandatory for girls, that meant switching to pants or snow pants from the skirts 3 times a day to go outside in winter (two breaks and leaving end of day).
Emily Coutts (Detmer) and Oyin Oladego (Owo) are never listed with the main cast characters. They and others like Patrick Kwok-Choon (Gen Rhys) are credited in the ‘also starring’ list in the post credits not in the main titles.
No reason not to believe Emily won’t be back. Oyin was in production as the lead in an independent feature last year so there may have been a scheduling issue as there was for Ronnie Rowe Jr (Bryce) when he was in production for his lead role in BET+ Series ‘The Porter’ during production of Discovery season 4.
Most of these Canadian actors filling in the bridge crew work on other Canadian projects which seem to be more crucial for advancing their careers even if working on Discovery was a regular income.
Brilliant thank you!
I remember seeing this. One wonders why this hasn’t been included in the BlueRays or included with the DS9 library on Paramount+.
If you’re on Mastodon, I’d recommend sharing it with the current vfx head Brian Tatosky (@virtualbri@mastodon.online).
I totally agree.
However, the number of posts I see elsewhere wondering if it will take place in the already crowded late 24th or early 25th century is surprising. So, there’s value add to Doug Adams affirming that.
It’s interesting that Doug somewhat confirms that Starfleet Academy will be set in the 32nd century.
Not positively received. Actually quite the opposite.
I bought it in hardcover, then bailed on the entire Christie Golden Voyager series on the sequel.
A horrible return with heartbreaking situations for just about every beloved character.
I don’t truly blame tie-in writer Golden, or even Peter David who got tagged with responsibility for the most egregious plot and character point in the Relaunch universe version of the Voyager follow-up.
Paramount itself clearly had but dire restrictions on positives for the returning crew that only came off when Kirsten Beyer was allowed to undo the damage in her Voyager Full Circle series when she took the helm from Golden.
