No mid-season break for DSC S2.

S2 begins Jan 17.

S2 shot in 2.39:1 instead of 2:1.

If you subscribe to CBS All Access at the cheaper with-commercials rate, the shorts still have no commercials.

S2: L’Rell is seen with hair. The explanation is that Klingons DO have hair - they just shave their heads in wartime.

Ep 9 of DSC wrapped last week. Director: Jonathan Frakes

Ten Forward:

Chris on Twitter: If you had to choose just one item to be fan service in the Picard series, what would it be? For me, I would love to see the flute from The Inner Light.

Star Trek in pop culture:

Paul (2011). Starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen. From IMDB: “Two English comic book geeks traveling across the U.S. encounter an alien outside Area 51.”

In this clip, the 2, and an alien are traveling in an RV when Nick Frost finds the alien & tries to strangle it.
