I have definitely been proven wrong by Star Trek things that look terrible at the outset, but…this looks terrible. I mean I guess we’re getting a Deltan, so that’s fun? And a chameloid is a bit of a deep cut? But jesus, I could not want to see this less. I hope I’ll be proven wrong!

Usually contracts have to be negotiated after five seasons. Especially after the strikes last year, studios are committed to never budging an inch on contracts or residuals, even if it means losing money in the short term.

He saw my pin and gave me a Vulcan salute as he moved into his lane. He seemed nice and a bit sheepish. The staff at the coffee shop I used to go to told me he was extremely lovely.
