I wasn't enthused then, and I'm less enthused now.   But it's not being targeted at my demographic today - it's going to be a kids/young adult show, I think.  Hope it's good for them.

Exactly, I'm almost a Star Trek completest but I'll pass. Rave reviews could change my mind.

Is Prometheus an almost shot for shot secret remake of Star Trek V?

Likely minimum lot sizes, huge minimum setbacks, parking minimums, minimum percentage landscaped areas, and possibly all of the above. 

So, you don’t actually know? Assumptions are being made?

In case it wasn't obvious, the above was an example of horrendous zoning and design practices. It's as if someone hated the concept of walking with the utmost passion, and was trying to maximize arbitrary miles driven. Hopefully each restaurant has a valet while they're at it.

 

If I assembled a team of random mentally challenged individuals and gave them total freedom to design an area without regulation, I'm confident they'd come up with something better.

What was the zoning sin that caused this? 

It only took 18 months.

For Season 3, debuting in 2025, Frakes directed an episode framed as a Hollywood murder mystery that he calls “the best episode of television I’ve ever done.”

Quote

Every single person I spoke to for this story talked about “Star Trek” with a joyful earnestness as rare in the industry as (nerd alert) a Klingon pacifist.

Quote

The issue is that “Starfleet Academy” is set in the 32nd century, an era so far into the future Kurtzman and his team need to invent much of its design language.

What??  You missed this gem?   He's really good in Boyz In The Hood.  This movie, not so much, but people have to pay their bills somehow.

 

 

Yes, a modern classic, nothing John Singleton has  done since has been able to eclipse it.
