“ANDOR showed that science fiction audiences are hungry for dramatic depth and moral complexity. If that worked for Star Wars fans, imagine what it could do for Trekkers who’ve been asking for exactly this kind of nuanced storytelling for decades.” -Seán Ferrick, TrekCulture ▶️ youtu.be/Owqrkel0fXk
Coordinates set for Sin City! 🎰🌵 I’ll be at #STLV: Trek to Vegas Aug 7-9 to celebrate 60 years of #StarTrek — and the 25th anniversary of #StarTrekEnterprise. Hope you’ll join me and some sci-fi legends for these conversations 🖖🚀
“Instead of asking whether humanity can reach the stars, #StarTrekUnited asks whether humanity and the Federation could actually live up to the ideals that they created.” - Jimmy Markowski @ChaosCinemaTV 👀 👉 youtu.be/qpWlooRVxB8?...

“Armed with a rough outline of the prospective Archer-centric series and Bakula’s enduring star power, Sussman has already discussed the project (the working title of which is ‘Star Trek: United’) with franchise boss Alex Kurtzman’s people” 🧵 (1/2)
