So what exactly is that thing?
Why does a marshmallow dispenser need a spoon and fork?

It is an Official Kraft⢠Star Trek V Marshmallow Dispenser, that holds 3 Kraft⢠marshmallows. You slide a little lever thing and a little door thing (like a shuttle bay door) opens and a marshmallow pops out.
I thought the movie stunk, but when I saw this on a bag of marshmallows it looked so incredibly stupid I just had to buy one. Itâs languishing in a box somewhere.
What, donât you eat marshmallows with fork and spoon?

Is it really supposed to be used for something else, like how head shops used to sell âlamp partsâ from which you could coincidentally also assemble a device for smoking the dank?

Uhm, better not. Unless you like burning polystyrene smoke too.

So do the discovery writers think their new klingon antagonist is more charismatic than he is or what?

Its not awful right off the bat, and the opening credits are actually pretty cool.

I have found the answer!!
Having never seen the entire movie, I had not known about this little detail. Sure I knew about Spockâs anti-gravity boots and singing Row-Row-Row Your Boat, but I never new about this handy marshmellon dispenserâŚ
Well beam me up, Admiral Ackbar.

I plan to watch Discovery this coming Chuseok holiday.
Since I have twelve days off it will give me plenty of time to don my fedora and write a scathing nerdreview should I dislike it.
If I love it I will need that time to stop crying for joy.

he also came up with the story. ( yikes! )
in his defense, there was an interview for the special wrath of khan screening i saw where he said the same â but, he was clearly making fun of himself â and the movie â in that moment.
i thought it was fascinating though that the reason he got to direct was because of a clause in his contract that said whatever privileges he and nimoy got had to be reciprocated.
in shatnerâs telling, nimoy only agreed to come back for a third movie in order to direct. that meant shatner got the next option. he couldnât direct 4 because of t.j. hooker, so he directed 5 instead.

Theyâre WAY overcharging for it.
Netflix prices for one network? Theyâll figure out itâs worth 2 bucks a month, soon enough.

Or not. Disney is gradually pulling all their Netflix content as the contracts expire, with the intention of starting their own streaming service. CBS is pretty obviously using Discovery to snag subscriptions.
What all of them donât seem to be thinking about is that if people have to pay for multiple streaming services, they may as well pay for cable â and since a lot of them cut the cord to save money, it means they wonât do that.
The alternative is pay per view (feasible but will likely be overpriced).
I know people whose kids have only ever watched Netflix. Theyâve learned that if The Mouse isnât available, thereâs other cool stuff to watch. Ditto for SF fans â they love Star Trek, but if all thatâs available is other (decent) SF, theyâll watch that.
Perhaps the traditional networks will figure it out before itâs too late.

If history is any indication, they wonât.
CBS just tried to be Napster going legit - charging 10% of what people will pay in a month for entertainment, for 2% of the content out there thatâs worth anything.
If they lowered it to 2 bucks theyâd probably hit their revenue targets. At this price point they will not, by a mile.
