‘Venus Prime’ is the way the novelizations were branded and marketed starting with the first book ‘Breaking Strain’ in 1987.
As you can see from the cover image, it was an early example of the ‘hot babe with powers’ marketing approach.

The waiting period for a better offer seems like a deft way to fend off ‘if only’ lawsuits from nonvoting shareholders.
Interesting gamesmanship.
This is great news for Frakes.
He was on the upswing as a director until the debacle of the Thunderbirds movie basically made him unemployable.
Star Trek has enabled him to get back into directing work, and even some acting.
He’s been picking up directing work beyond the franchise over the last few years, but an EP supervising director role for an entire limited series adaptation of a prestige author is definitely a step forward.
A 90 minute animated streaming movie for either Netflix or Paramount could be great.
I suspect you’re correct on this.
I have been looking for a ‘special presentation’ on CTV linear as they have a track record of inserting those when they’re out of alignment with streaming releases.
Checking the CTV Sci-fi schedule on Thursday, July 5th at 9 pm - the usual slot for new Star Trek - Snowpiercer is shown. The rest of the evening has the usual Star Trek Voyager reruns.
Sigh.
The closest Chapman’s flavour to that might be Premium Chocolate & Brownies Ice Cream, but Rok herself might like the classic Rocket ice Lollies.
TrekCore is saying that in Canada season 1 will be available on the CTV app.
😞😢😭😿😿😿
The app won’t carry any new episodes On Demand until one day after they run on cable.
But the second season isn’t showing as a future option so that’s concerning.
I’m ever hopeful, but Prodigy isn’t a great fit with CTV Sci-fi Channel given theirs advertisers.
I’ve been checking CTV Sci-fi forward schedule in case a ‘special event’ might show up.
Complete void.
I take it you haven’t seen Prodigy yet.
As Hologram Janeway says in Prodigy, “We’ve only just begun.”
Because Prodigy had to be about Janeway and more timey-wimey stuff.
Kudos to you for going for TAS right after TOS.
I first heard of the sweater curse more than 30 years ago.
It’s been a thing in knitting circles for generations as far as I can tell.
Experienced it.
The curse is likely based on the item being too much pressure on a relationship that’s not ready for it.
If you’re a really experienced and fast knitter that’s regularly knocking of sweaters for yourself and perhaps have done small ones as gifts for friends kids, it wouldn’t be the same.
But if you’re looking for love to motivate you through your first big project, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. All the more so if you’re toting your project with you and knitting in public.
Some interesting stuff in this article.
It looks like Skydance thought that getting the non-voting class B Paramount shareholders on board would put pressure on the voting ones.
But it seems like Redstone was sensitive to the minority group of voting shareholders and that they were not on side. That is, it wasn’t enough to have the Redstones as the majority holders of class A NAI shares, and the majority of non-voting class B Paramount shareholders, Shari Redstone felt she had to have sufficient support from the minority of voting NAI shareholders to avoid problems such as accusations of imposing losses on a group.
“According to a source familiar with the talks, Redstone’s request for a “majority of the minority” vote, in which other Class A shareholders could vote to approve or nix the deal, was a nonstarter for Skydance, and the studio was anticipating a regulatory review of more than a year, which gave Redstone pause given the constraints it would have required of the business in the meantime.”
I believe their licence for Star Trek has expired so what’s already ordered is it.
Mine hasn’t arrived yet but it’s on the way.
Her hair even goes white-blond as of book 2. LOL
I have observed elsewhere that no women are announced in the creative team. I hope they get a strong female-presenting A-list lead who insists on EP status.
