      Thanks for posting that. Good to know the BBC is moving on from Davies, and investing in a full season with a new production company.

      Star Trek is in far worse shape these days. According to Riker, this is the first time in decades where there is no TV or movie even in the planning phase.

         And Star Wars. Complete train wreck. Disney just has so much money to burn from live action remakes they can limp along.

            Andor was really good and only finished in 2025.

            Star Wars Jedi Survivor was also highly enjoyable.

            The big films have been sad except for Rogue One.

            But there is some Star Wars stuff that is out there and is really good.

               Yes, I agree on Andor. But that was a quiet side-project done by good people, and not the main focus of Kathleen Kennedy and her recruits. Both it and Rogue One were made by Tony Gilroy.
