Discuss Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

I would have loved to have been in the room, or listening on the phone or whatever, when they asked Charlie Brill to play Arne Darvin again.

This is probably my favorite episode

Of what?DISC? Meh mine was when they visited Saru's homeworld at least that felt like a Star Trek episode And besides those things look more like Orcs than Klingons,

Then how is it possible that Arne Darvin could be identified as Klingon while Ash could not be identified as such .All it needed was a hand medical scan by Bones so how can the technology to alter Voq was more advanced than the technology to alter Arne Darvin ?Another inconsistancy just like the fact that Spock and Sarek shouldn't even meet or have contact with each other since this show takes place 10 years prior to TOS because Amanda in the season 2 episode Journey To Babel clearly states that Spock and Sarek hadn't talked to each other for 18!!!! years.

Revenues over 2019 was less than 350 million and had dropped by 42% but that still leaves Viacom/CBS 450 million to come up with in the short term and to come up with around 500 million in such a short notice is quite impossible certainly with the current crisis so Viacom/CBS still has to sell assets ,Also if these rumors are true Viacom/CBS bought a 49% share interest in Secret Hideout(because according these same rumors to have some control over Kurtzman) so that money should be subtracted from the revenues so Viacom/CBS probably still has to pay the full 800 milion. And that a company makes almost 4 billion usually means production costs of these shows and running CBS All Access (of which most of the defenders and criticasters now agree is a failure)and other costs have to be subtracted which only leaves around 350 million .and even if Viacom/CBS made 4 bilion in revenues it still has to pay 14.7 bilion in debt.And since the 50 million subscribers to Disney+ isn't enough to prevent Disney from burrowing 6 billion and from what I heard another 6-7 bilion kinda shows that the less than 10 milion subscribers to CBS All Access isn't enough to keep Viacom/CBS afloat.

read the Forbes article;

Why then did the stock prize drop? Either the article you cite is wrong or three /four established media outlets are wrong and even the article you cite talks about 2.4 % drop in income so how can Viacom/CBS report a possitive result when the finances show otherwise?

Read the damn articles invidia it's the source for the goofy video guy.And 14,9 bilion still leaves a debt of 3.8 bilion.

No it isn't invidia the shares dropped way before that they dropped the day after a meeting of Viacom/CBS where they announced the 2019 results and future plans for shareholders that was at the end of February almost a month prior to the whole Corona thing becoming an issue also current year events won't effect the results of 2019.

I never said Picard was never going to air I only reported about the similar production problems of STP and STD.

If you think that the US tax payer should pay for CBS's sheer fucking hubris and false sense of entitlement that caused them to loose money then maybe you should vote for Trump

So you think that attorneys finding loop holes in tax laws (ergo the average US taxpayer has to pay more taxes)for an Entertainmen company is OK just because that company maskes a program you like.Or that giving financial aid to CBS because of the current crisis over small buisinesses is ok even though the impact of these small buisinesses going bankrupt has larger consequences for average communities?

THE ARTICLE TALKS ABOUT THE CUTRRENT YEAR NOT LAST YEAR AND HOW CAN THEY BE SO CERTAIN THAT THE RESULTS OVER 2020 WILL BE POSITIVE WHEN LARGER COMPANIES LIKE DISNEY WITH A STREAMING SERVICE THAT HAS AT LEAST FIVE TIME THE NUMBER OF SUBSCRIBERS TO CET STREAMING SERVICE,HAS HAD A NUMBER OF MOVIES GROSSING OVER 1 BILLION EACH IN 2019 AND IS NET WORTH OF TEN TIMES THAT OF VIACOM/CBS CURRENTLY NEEDS MONEY NOT TO GO BANKRUPT.

2020 is the first year from 2014 that will end with a positive fiscal result for the famous company.

No it says this year is projected to be the first year since 2014 to make a profit so last year Viacom/CBS was in the red.

You can read I hope

September were the results of the previous three quarters the articles said the losses were made in the last quarter of 2019.And if four media outlets report the same thing and only one reports something different it does raise the question what are the sources of this article.And even so it said in the article 2020 is the first year from 2014 that will end with a positive fiscal result for the famous company. So in a nutshell CBS hasn't made any profit since 2014 and they expect 2020 to be the first years since 2014 to produce black figures but that prediction was from before the current crisis so these predictions mean nothing anymore.

I never made that claim I only reported the back stage and production troubles Picard was going through that that might influence the release date of Picard (as it did) and considering all kinds of similar things happening behind the scenes and troubles STD had it didn't look promising (to qoute Han Solo I got a bad feeling about this) .BUT I NEVER REPEAT NEVER SAID PICARD WAS NOT GOING TO AIR. All I might have said was that considering the troubles the show was going through(during it's production) that it wouldn't surprise me if the show was cancelledthat's all.

Sigh! you are annoying

Should I get an on-line restriction order for you for harrassment?

Oh forget it it's pointless arguing with somebody so stuborn.
