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. 🙄

      Maybe it's just my old-school soul talking, but I’ve always felt that games aren't 'real' games until they hit the PC. Leaving the PC community out at launch just doesn't sit right with me. That being said, I'm probably going to buy the PS5 just for the fun of trying it out.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
