Of all the cast, it seems like he would have the most reason to be there as a guest instructor - he's an expert in a field that no one else gives a damn about.

I guess the biggest knock against it in-universe is that Starfleet's first responders still need him to Make Them Go.

Professor Stamets would be a sight to behold, second only to Professor Rayner.

I agree, but...legally speaking*, I think they have a decent case?

*I'm not a lawyer, just your standard online idiot

My best guess is that they consider her that radioactive.

I didn't expect Ceti Alpha VI to go "boom" quite so soon but here we are.

If anyone was still concerned that Khan would be somehow lionized by this series, his immediate decision to attack the crashed aliens should put that to rest.

Marla continues to be the most interesting character, trying to be the voice of Starfleet in the situation.

The framing story is beginning to get more interesting, as well, continuing to explore what the heck caused Ceti Alpha VI to explode in the first place.

Pour one out for the Argos - I feel like they didn't get a fair shake this year.

It will be very interesting to see how the Bombers fare coming off the bye - the Elks have improved a fair amount as the season progressed.

Unfortunately not - and it's a damn shame, since I agree that it's one of the better ships-of-the-week. Maybe some day...

The way they've been talking, it sounds like they're playing with the idea that Kirk seemed pretty comfortable on the Enterprise in his first episodes, so there may be unseen stories to be told before TOS season one.

I think we're good to go now, albeit possibly still catching up.

Have I got bad news about Ellison's overall vision for the company...

Though to be fair, he said:

"I don’t think AI is a replacement for creativity. It’s actually quite the opposite. The thing that has been really problematic from my perspective in media, is people thinking that technology is something to be feared. It’s not. The artists and the filmmakers that we work with are first, second, third, fourth, fifth on our priority list, we are a storytelling company first.”

That...may or may not be terrible?

In any case, this position seems more concerned with licensing and stuff like the Universal Fan Fest nights from last year, and the upcoming parade float. As much as they've been a little better with that stuff lately, I don't think new blood is a bad thing in this case.

 

In the role, he will oversee consumer products, live experiences, publishing, partnerships, and e-commerce for physical products, reporting to Paramount President Jeff Shell. In announcing the hiring, Paramount said Silverman would team with leaders at their key brands, including Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon, in an effort to “bring stories to life in new ways.”

Yep, looks like you're right - looking into it.

 

I'm mainly sharing this because of the attached interview with CFL Commissioner Stewart Johnston, but the overall discussion of the state of the league as the playoffs approach is good.
