The maple leaf last year was well done.

Suggest you look back on the canvas thread to see what was done last year.

We managed to do a comm badge and the 1701 Enterprise and a Klingon symbol.

I’m wondering if the cast appearances will include actors from S31 and Starfleet Academy, or just from Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds.

And I am wondering if we might see more casting news for Starfleet Academy ahead of SDCC.

Or at least some character names to go with the casting announcements we’ve already had. It would also be great to know what species some of these will be.

I was replying to the sarcastic remark directly above that posits that Trek has an adequate fanbase to sustain the franchise.

Prodigy’s been an investment in reaching younger fans and building an audience for the future.

Starfleet Academy’s target audience is later teens and young adults. Basically, ‘the key demographic’ as reported by Nielsen in the US.

Advertisers care mainly about 18-35 year olds, and now that streaming has ads that key demographic is important for the survival of the franchise.

Besides if the franchise hadn’t expanded its fanbase in the 90s it wouldn’t be viable now. And let’s face it, it’s not that significant outside North America. Gone are the days when US audiences were adequate for survival.

I really wish Hallmark put more effort into reaching younger fans with their collections.

And even older fans like me would like some merch from the newer shows and not just more TNG, and TOS or even Enterprise.

Do they have any kind of realistic focus groups informing these selections?

A 90 minute animated streaming movie for either Netflix or Paramount could be great.

I suspect you’re correct on this.

I have been looking for a ‘special presentation’ on CTV linear as they have a track record of inserting those when they’re out of alignment with streaming releases.

Checking the CTV Sci-fi schedule on Thursday, July 5th at 9 pm - the usual slot for new Star Trek - Snowpiercer is shown. The rest of the evening has the usual Star Trek Voyager reruns.

Sigh.

The closest Chapman’s flavour to that might be Premium Chocolate & Brownies Ice Cream, but Rok herself might like the classic Rocket ice Lollies.

TrekCore is saying that in Canada season 1 will be available on the CTV app.

😞😢😭😿😿😿

😞😞😞😞

The app won’t carry any new episodes On Demand until one day after they run on cable.

But the second season isn’t showing as a future option so that’s concerning.

I’m ever hopeful, but Prodigy isn’t a great fit with CTV Sci-fi Channel given theirs advertisers.

I’ve been checking CTV Sci-fi forward schedule in case a ‘special event’ might show up.

Complete void.

I believe their licence for Star Trek has expired so what’s already ordered is it.

Mine hasn’t arrived yet but it’s on the way.

I have no idea what the second is, but if Marvel has hired her, they are very smart.

I was surprised that Gersha Phillips wasn’t the head costume designer for season 5.

Do we know if she was tapped for that for the S31 movie instead?

Some context on the Saskatchewan aspect that puts helps to understand the concerns being raised:

“Weekes also said Harrison once sought permission to bring a gun into the legislature. Harrison initially denied the allegation but resigned last week after admitting he had forgotten about the incident, which happened more than a decade ago.”

The CP photo caption says the incident happened in 2016.
