Now now … RTE 2 came first … Network 2 only showed up 10 years later, only to be changed back in the noughties.

<Pedantic Pat and That is That!>

Ireland in the 70's was something of a dull place … fancy dandy branding like "Network 2" would likely not have worked too well. Getting a second channel was a major new concept to most of the population. It gave the children a new job in the household … they became remote controls!!! 😂

[A] prequel focusing on humanity’s early contact with aliens and the formation of the Federation. Andor director Toby Haynes is attached to direct a script by Seth Grahame-Smith that is rumored to take place largely on Earth. The studio sees the project as an entry point for new fans who do not need to know about decades of canon (or keep up with the myriad shows on Paramount+). No cast or release date is set, but it’s in pole position to be the next Trek to hit the big screen.

Not very treky!? If mainly set on Earth!

In May Variety reported, “the film is intended as an origin story for the main timeline of the ‘Star Trek’ franchise (rather than the alternate Kelvin timeline, started with 2009’s “Star Trek”).” If the film is set in Trek’s Prime universe, it’s unclear how it would fit with established lore, especially as seen in First Contact and Star Trek: Enterprise.
