    Precisely what I expected. A dismissive response because you do not have the capability to construct a valid argument. So you just dismiss and run. Or as you put it, backflip.

    Also they hired new people. Nothing was clarified in their hiring that it was for them to do it “better”. That is literally something you came up. That was not in the press release of them being hired, it was not in their contract that is what they were being hired for. It is literally something you and your lot came up with to try and justify not liking NuTrek.

    Good luck. You’re not worth engaging with in the future if you’re going to be so flippant and childish over your own discussion/argument.

      Erin MacDonald interview

      NS: So speaking of cool, you are now a science consultant for the franchise. Tell me how that came about, and what your duties involve.

      EM: Yeah, this is a dream job. This is as good as it gets.

      They’re realizing how effectively Star Trek can be used to teach science, they really want to capture that, and with Star Trek having this big resurgence, and having all of these shows now being developed, they realized that having someone who is a behind the scenes person as well as a representative for teaching science through Star Trek would be an advantage to them.

      So that’s what they’ve hired me to do. I’m working this year on retainer for the Star Trek franchise. That doesn’t say that every show is using me, but I’m available to any shows that do want to use me, and to try and keep track of all the technology and all of the travel and all of the stuff that they mention. All of these series are coming out at different points in different timelines, and someone’s gotta keep track of all of that. And they are, but it helps having me who can just focus on the technology and the technobabble and the galaxy and to try to keep that all straight. So it’s really exciting and I can’t wait for the stuff that I’ve worked on to actually start airing so that I can talk about it!

      confirms Mack as consultant

      There are other resources and tweets out there confirming as much.

      Don’t assume I’m a “nutrek” hater. I love new Trek mate, I buy the discs, I stream it, I’ve got the eaglemoss models! I use to defend the spore drive as a cool use of subspace domains or that Picard season one is a good remix of the themes of the episode tapestry all of which earned me many down votes on parts of reddit.

      I can still be critical when parts of it could IMHO be done a little better, and as I said I’m glad that new Trek really is trying
