This is the first I've ever heard of a login required at star trek dot com.

It's mainly a charity thingie - TrekCore has a summary.

Maybe more importantly, it doesn't look like they're doing any panels on Star Trek Day this year.

I'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through

Interesting take. Do you have an example?

All right, I'm convinced. Henceforth, every Friday is Bell Riots Day, forever.

Happy "Labour" Day to you, too.

I like the cut of this guy's jib.

IIRC he acknowledged it was well-made for what it was.

Honestly, I think he just realized he had no choice.

The conflict between Roddenberry and Meyer is pretty well-known, but I agree it would be...interesting to see the original documents.

Maybe he can play both...

Apparently it was an Ira Behr thing:

Ira Steven Behr has a fascination with the Battle of the Alamo and he and Hans Beimler included a reference in "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night". Later, Ronald D. Moore and Rene Echevarria began to include references in their scripts. Some fans thought that the writers were hinting the series would end with a battle like the Alamo, which the writers had no intention of doing, having already featured such scenes in "The Way of the Warrior". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)

Follow-up question: do we want to start one, in this space?

Paramount Parks shut down way back in 2006, so if they don't want to try to re-enter that space (which I think would be financially...unwise), partnering with existing parks is probably the best move.

No idea - these things are often cast under code names, at least when it comes to TV and film, so it could be really hard to determine.

If there's any interest in carving out a corner of Canvas 2024 in the name of startrek.website, feel free to use this thread to coordinate!

 

I seem to recall a few people who were upset that they didn't know these existed the last time it was discussed.
