I think Kurtzman's mic skills have improved - at the very least, he's well-prepared.

I'm just grateful that NYCC does livestreams...

Ah okay, I was afraid you had something more insidious in mind that I hadn't thought of.

I guess I feel like the "rule of threes" is more pleasing to the ears and eyes, and "Star Fleet" has certainly been two words from time to time over the years.

But really, as long as no one's being a troll about it, I think it's all good.

There's some fun to be had in here - one of the "Distinguished Heroes" is Chwolkk, Class of 2376 - a Horta who served aboard the Titan in the novels.

Not sure I’m entirely comfortable with SFA as the acronym for Starfleet Academy.

Oh? Is there something I'm not thinking of?

...not all low-income people are homeless?

I don't think I'd call it a "catch".

Carney said that Canadians who fail to file a return when they earn under the basic personal amount means Canadians “who most need benefits often don’t get them.”

Those benefits include the GST/HST tax credit, the Canada child benefit, the Canada workers benefit, the Canadian disability benefit and the disability tax credit.

*for low-income citizens who earn less than the basic personal amount

I think it's a decent evolution of the ENT aesthetic - the warp delta in particular - at a smaller scale.

Not exactly awe-inspiring, but as a glorified commercial transport...

They probably won't, especially considering that the first version of the pitch has already been rejected.

But...the reason for that rejection has been addressed, and this seems like this show would have a unique identity, which has been a priority.

And frankly, this seems like a more interesting concept to me than any of the other not-quite-pitches that have come from creators over the last few years.

See if you can do it without whinging about moderation.

Far too rich for my blood, but their SNW boot pretty eye-catching.
