Of course. We are one big happy fleet.
Come on, spit it out. We asked for the specifics. Without specifics your coming off as a bit unhinged as you wildly defend a position nobody knows.
"this is woke but I won't say specifically why!" Just comes off as crazy. If you can't share your position I'd ask you stop talking because right now you're saying a whole lotta nothing specific. You don't appear to know yourself.

No offence intended here, but is it that important to you? Is the pestering really needed?

He said his peace already, you’re free to disagree. The suggestion that he should “stop talking” is not very “inclusive” is it?

I find piling on someone over such an insignificant thing (a tv show) very unnecessary.

No he didn't. He left it to everyone's imagination. Could be anything. The casting could be woke because it has someone with hair too blonde.

Also it's not about being inclusive. That has nothing to do with anything here, as far as I know, because he never said what he meant specifically.
 
That is a wise decision.

I do try to watch everything from Star Trek at least once. If for no other reason than to have an informed opinion.
I'm currently working my way through TAS, which I had never seen any episodes of.
 
Please keep politics out of this thread.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I can hear it now; "But Sith Lord Darth Snoopy, Master of all he surveys :monkey3 , Star Trek is all about politics!"

Keep it out anyway. There's a dedicated forum for that mumbo jumbo.
 
Anyway, I had no idea how popular Ella Purnell has apparently gotten. I'm at Megacon and thought it would be cool to add her autograph to my Trek collection, but holy crap, it's like trying to get an audience with the Pope.
Is all that really just from Fallout or am I missing something?

She also has a role in that Arcane show, and I just finished up Sweetpea that she was great in, but yeah I think it's mostly everyone's love for Fallout.

Arcane? Never heard of it.
For the first time, I feel old and out of touch at Megacon. I don't recognize most of the guests. The cosplays are all alien to me. It's all anime and video games and Twlight and I look like a dinosaur by comparison. Ella Purnell and Clint Howard are the only ones here even related to Star Trek, but you wouldn't know it from how their booths are advertised.

Yup I'm the same. I have no idea who the heck most of these video game characters are that HT and other companies are releasing figures of now. That's the one thing from my childhood that I actually outgrew. 😁

Wait, I forgot! She was also in Yellowjackets, which I've seen and love.
I actuality think it's a much better show than Fallout. Not that I think Fallout is bad, I actually like it a lot, but I think Yellowjackets is damn near a masterpiece. Especially that first season.
Also, she really, really elevated Prodigy for me. If I'm only going to have one person's autograph to represent that show in my collection, I'm glad it's hers.
 
Snoopy warned y'all. I just deleted a post and handed out a warning. No politics and no insulting other members. :thwak

No idea what Yellowjackets is about, but I keep hearing good things so I'll have to check it out. Especially knowing she's in it.

And yeah her character was definitely the best thing about Prodigy.

Yellowjackets is about a high school girls soccer team that crashes in the Canadian wilderness and is stranded for over a year. It cuts between what happened then, and what happens in the present with the adult girls who survived.
The young girl cast includes Purnell, and the older cast has Christina Ricci, Melanie Lynsky, and Juliette Lewis.
 
I have a theory with no real proof to it. Since convention now a days are done by these big companies, I think some sign actors to contracts with guaranteed money. Creation entertainment is always doing Cons with Trek actors, some are exclusively Trek, but some of those actors you don't see at other conventions. I'm not a Con expert I totally understand I might be wrong or lack information, it's just my limited observation.

That said, if you went to MegaCon I assume you are close to Orlando. Creation is supposed to be doing a Trek Convention in Orlando later this year. I'm looking forward to that one to get some more of my Exo 6 name cards signed.

Yep, I'm in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm keeping my eyes on that one. Hoping to get the chance to go. Are you in the area?

Yes I live in Lake Nona area. Didn't go to Mega this year cause I wasnt to interested in anyone. I am going to Spookala though for the Daredevil cast.
