With the only Trek production being finished (and under tremendous secrecy all during filming), there’s not a lot of Trek news out there and only so much merchandise is being released.

I’m hopeful that the stories I post are interesting to people and I do my best to post an interesting variety. Given human nature and individual tastes, it’s only natural that some won’t like some stories and others won’t like different stories. I’d rather post too many stories than not enough, and as I said, I need to have something up M-F.

I only posted the Saldana statement given the long-term nature of her engagement (that was broken). I’ve not (nor do I intend to post) posted on her romance with, uh, what’s his name – Bradley Cooper, I think, that was a very short-term “working on the same movie” romance, nor have I posted about Zach Quinto’s relationship with the fellow from Glee, even though I wish them every happiness. I will post on marriages, sometimes the birth of children and deaths. I may occasionally post on relationships, but I have to feel there is a good reason to do so.

You have the option of not reading stuff that doesn’t interest you. When I was just a reader of the news, that’s what I did. Story that wasn’t to my taste? SKIP. Didn’t click. It’s what I do at any news site – I read that which interests me.

And yes, “God forbid I not post something.” Do you want me to be like another Trek site, which won’t post for a few weeks, then will post for a day or two like crazy (and half of that fan productions or stupid fan YouTube mashups or whatever?)

The news is free here. Read it or don’t. I’m trying to do my best to bring interesting articles, but unlike Scotty – I’m not a miracle worker. I can’t make up news. If it’s thin on the ground, I have to do my
best. And – even if there are six articles in a day, there is still no
guarantee that someone will be interested/like an article. That’s how it
goes.

Kind of boggles my mind that someone bitches about something that is provided for free. LOL. That’s the Internet for you.

To those that enjoy the articles, thank you. I sincerely try to put up interesting stuff that you will enjoy to read. To those that don’t – well, again that’s how it goes.

Giancarlo Esposito made for a suitably menacing bad guy, but the whole “militias” thing seems odd; if guns still work, why are they so quickly reduced to (apparently newly manufactured) bladed weapons and flintlocks? Only some of the big-deal bad guys seem to have fancy modern guns. The “computer geek” character offers no surprises.

I’m also annoyed how some of the characters look exactly the same after fifteen years. And as of now, it appears that Elizabeth Mitchell will only appear in flashbacks; that doesn’t seem like the best idea on the face of it (not that I personally would want to see more of her, but rather it’s a lot of money spent for something with limited ability to impact the story in the “present”).
