Which I assumed is what they were doing every time a new Bond was cast, TBH.

They should do what the Casino Royale people did when they were casting Judi Dench to be M in their Bond prequel despite her being new to her role in the continuity of the Brosnan movies, and say "screw it. Do it anyway."

Sounds like a summer camp counselor who stopped caring.

I’m nostalgic for a series of Academy junior novels from the 90s, so I’m definitely interested to see what the do with this. I’m just not a big fan of how the 32nd century looks. My beef is purely aesthetic on that one.

It’s such an obvious thing to keep going with.

It always reminded me of my mom’s corned beef and cabbage. Cooked in a pot with waaay too much cabbage to be any good.

I think ultimately my attitude toward it would be more generous if they hadn't killed Trip.

Because then it would feel like a weird episode that could have taken place before a fifth season that never happened.
