This Weeks Community Question Is:


CQ: Does Star Trek need Star power to entice new fans? Do you think the addition of an Actor like Will Smith or Brie Larson would help or hurt Star Trek?


TREK IT OUT

by Jake Morgan


“It’s Interview Time” With Dawnn Lewis

Kelvin Pike had “Punch it”. Prime Pike had “Hit it”. Lorca? “Go”! Picard posthumously procured Prime Pike’s “Engage” from “The Cage”. So who could blame Cerritos Captain Carol Freeman for wanting to follow Starfleet trailblazers by conjuring up her very own catch phrase - though “It’s Warp Time” may need a little work.This week, Dawnn Lewis - the voice of the aforementioned Captain Freeman - talked with TV Guide about her love of Star Trek, the Captain’s relationship with her daughter, and what she wants to do next. 


Lewis told TV Guide about her history with Star Trek, saying ”I used to risk getting into trouble in order to watch Star Trek because it would come on when my brothers and I were supposed to be asleep. We would get in front of our little, small black-and-white TV with blankets and sheets covering us to make a tent to muffle the sound so that we could watch the adventures of Captain Kirk, Lieutenant Uhura, and Mr. Spock traipsing through the galaxy”


In regards to Captain Freeman’s relationship with her estranged Daughter - Ensign Beckett Mariner, Lewis said ”Their relationship reminds me of growing up a preacher's kid. [...] you often find that the preacher's kids are probably the baddest kids in the church. They are trying to break every rule, trying to be everything except what their parents have been trying to encourage everybody else to be. So even if you're one of the best parents, sometimes your kids can still make choices that you really wish they would not make.”


Dawnn Lewis, who is currently working with Lower Decks co-star Jack Quad on Amazon’s “The Boys”, talked about what she wants to do next, telling reporter Keisha Hatchett ”Please make me an alien in Discovery, Picard, somewhere. Please make me an alien. I want to do it”




CBS All Access Gets a New Name - Paramount+

Have you forgone relationships, job opportunities, and basic hygiene for fear of missing the news when it finally drops? Well friends, the wait is over. So call your family, get your resume up-to-date, bathe yourself, and get ready for the big reveal!  But seriously, you should clean yourself up.


On Tuesday September 15th, Viacom CBS dropped the news that starting in early 2021, the service formerly known as CBS All Access would soon and henceforth be called - Paramount+.  CEO Bob Bakish said in a press release ”Paramount is an iconic and storied brand beloved by consumers all over the world, and it is synonymous with quality, integrity and world-class storytelling. With Paramount+, we’re excited to establish one global streaming brand in the broad-pay segment that will draw on the sheer breadth and depth of the ViacomCBS portfolio to offer an extraordinary collection of content for everyone to enjoy.”.
