Can someone clear something up for me as I’ve not yet been able to pause correctly…

When they are in “that place” and you hear the old Alexander Courage theme, what was in the container?

Cheers

Spoiler

Riker was looking at the Genisis Device V2

Raffi saw Kirk's remains

The other easter eggs,

I've seen rumours that Paramount+ are considering a new Trek show with Bad Robot called Star Trek Legends, but ONLY if Kurtzman has ZERO creative control over it...

Total rubbish. Kurtzman is firmly in charge of the TREK on TV and Bad Robot has absolutely nothing to do with it, they are limited to the feature film slate.

He is in charge regardless of which show.  He's the EP, it's more about who they get as show runners for the different series after that.  Either way, Discovery is done with it's next season, Picard is done with this one.  They'll have to do something to fill in the gap left behind by those 2 shows.   I expect something new, just not how much new.  We talking one new series or two?   I'd be down with a spin-off Titan-A series after this.  Maybe some Warf spy mini-series to.

Actually, one thing that got me wondering, since DISCO confirmed the existence of the kelvin universe, why hasn't there been mention of Spock's disappearance in PIC?

Only thinking this because the Kelvin/JJ Verse is still technically canon too due to DISCO...

Probably top secret.

More like they just don't want to keep reminding people of it... If they don't keep bringing it up, it can stay nicely vague.

No matter what they say there will people who complain.  I rather it left vague for when they are confident in an idea.

First Contact Day is coming up. The 4K UHD discs of the TNG films will be released that week, I also expect announcements about new projects.

4K TNG??!?!??!?!  Brain cant handle.

I doubt it.  Reviews will tell.  

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it to be good, and I do somewhat feel that the days of crappy cash grab upscales are behind us as a fad…

Me too.  I think they know Star Trek fans are extremely picky though.  They're selling to the true fans and must know a crappy remaster wont do.

Potential cash grab, may be a crappy upscale, hope not

All the TNG films were shot...on FILM. There is no upscaling being done here.

Not to mention, even 4K Discs of movies "locked" to 2K have better color, better compression, and HDR. There are very very few 4K titles that somehow look "worse" than their 2K Blu-ray versions, and even then a lot of time it's a display issue. Those 4K discs separate the good displays from the mediocre. 

The 4K masters have been shown in 1080p already on HBO MAX, and they look wonderful with the grain intact and not scrubbed away, as well as no edge enhancement.

It could get the Motion Picture treatment,  I don't own a bluray player, well, wait, I guess my Series X counts.  Still, I don't buy discs anymore.

Too bad, Video and audio is superior on disc.  Double/triple the video bitrate and the audio is lossless 7.1 rather than lossy 5.1 for the TREK films.

I bet there are some pretty high quality rips out there.   I don't think there's anything specifically locked to the disc that increases quality.

Yeah, if you don't mind stealing and making the market weaker for high quality releases. 🙄

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
