Star Trek Discovery Season 4 Trailer: Captain Burnham vs The Anomaly

A brand-new trailer for Star Trek Discovery season 4 shows Captain Burnham facing an unknown anomaly that's threatening the whole galaxy.Paramount+ has released a brand-new trailer for Star Trek Discovery season 4 during the show's panel at New York Comic-Con. Discovery is the first Trek series since Star Trek: Enterprise ran for three seasons in the early 2000s. The long-running sci-fi franchise received a reboot in 2009 with J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, which introduced the Kelvin Timeline and new version of Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise crew. In 2017, Star Trek returned to television and to its original timeline with Discovery, beginning a new era for the franchise on Paramount+ (formerly CBS All-Access).

Star Trek Discovery was initially set just a decade prior the events of Star Trek: The Original Series, but its season 2 finale sent the ship and her crew far into the future. In Star Trek Discovery season 3, Michael Burnham, Captain Saru and the crew were met with not only a new version of the Federation, but also a new mystery to unravel: how an event called the Burn caused nearly all the dilithium in the universe to explode? In solving the mystery and saving the remaining dilithium, Burnham proved herself to this future incarnation of the Federation was finally made Discovery's new captain. Now, Captain Burnham and her crew have a new threat to tackle in Discovery season 4.

During Star Trek Discovery season 4's panel at NYCC, a new trailer was released. Give it a watch in the space below:

Black Widow's What If Ending Creates A Loki Plot Hole

What If...? episode 9 gave Dystopia Black Widow her own happy ending - but sadly it introduced an unwitting Loki continuity problem as well!

Black Widow's "happily ever after" ending in Marvel's What If...? episode 9 accidentally created a plot hole in Loki's story. The first seven episodes of What If...? season 1 served as an anthology, with each episode set in a different timeline - one that veered away from the main MCU timeline due to a single significant change. But What If...? episode 8 saw the Watcher's observation of the multiverse unwittingly unleash Ultron upon all of creation, when the synthezoid gained possession of the Infinity Stones and ascended to a state of cosmic awareness where he could sense the Watcher's eyes upon him and hear his narration. The Watcher was left no choice but to break his vow of non-intervention in order to save the multiverse from Ultron, and he assembled the Guardians of the Multiverse as his agents.

With Ultron defeated, in What If...? episode 9 the Watcher sent the Guardians of the Multiverse back to their home dimensions. There was one exception, though; Dystopia Black Widow, whose entire universe had been sterilized of all life by Ultron before he broke through the barriers between the dimensions. Natasha Romanoff understandably refused to walk through the door back to a world where she would die alone, and accused the Watcher of lacking compassion for expecting her to do so. The Watcher rejected this charge, insisting the stories of the beings who exist in the multiverse mean everything to him, and he granted Black Widow a happily ever after - sending her to a timeline seen in What If...? episode 3, one that had lost its Black Widow. This Earth was in danger of turning in a wrong direction too, because a second attempt at the Avengers Initiative - one consisting of Nick Fury, Captain America, and Captain Marvel - was about to be overwhelmed. Dystopia Black Widow intervened at just the right moment, disarming Loki and taking his scepter.

But this scene actually introduces a major plot hole in What If...? season 1, because Loki never acquired that particular scepter in that timeline. As seen in What If...? episode 3, this timeline was one in which the candidates for the Avengers Initiative were murdered by Hank Pym during the events of "Fury's Big Week"; Thor, The Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man 2 all played out completely differently. Thor Odinson died while on Earth, stripped of his powers; Loki followed his brother to Midgard in order to avenge his murder, and then claimed the planet. He was never cast into the portals beneath the Bifrost, meaning he never encountered Thanos and gained that scepter.

It's easy to understand why What If...? made this mistake, because Dystopia Black Widow was emerging during that timeline's version of The Avengers, and the artists based their models of Loki on the version seen in the classic MCU team-up movie. Unfortunately they failed to follow through on the dramatic changes in the timeline that had resulted from the deaths of the Avengers during "Fury's Big Week." And so they've introduced an awkward continuity problem, one that has no easy solution.

To be fair to Marvel, What If...? was made during unprecedented circumstances, and it must have been very hard to coordinate all the different animation houses. An entire episode of What If...? was dropped from production because of the coronavirus pandemic, with the story of Gamora the Thanos-killer moved to season 2 when the animation house involved was hit badly by COVID. Given the difficulties Marvel faced, it's no surprise some mistakes happened, and hopefully Marvel will avoid them in What If...? season 2.

Waiting for the payment.

Hello!
Have you recently noticed that I have e-mailed you from your account?
Yes, this simply means that I have total access to your device.

For the last couple of months, I have been watching you.
Still wondering how is that possible? Well, you have been infected with malware originating from an adult website that you visited. You may not be familiar with this, but I will try explaining it to you.

With help of the Trojan Virus, I have complete access to a PC or any other device.
This simply means I can see you at any time I wish to on your screen by simply turning on your camera and microphone, without you even noticing it. In addition, I have also got access to your contacts list and all your correspondence.

You may be asking yourself, "But my PC has an active antivirus, how is this even possible? Why didn't I receive any notification?" Well, the answer is simple: my malware uses drivers, where I update the signatures every four hours, making it undetectable, and hence keeping your antivirus silent.

I have a video of you wanking on the left screen, and on the right screen - the video you were watching while masturbating.
Wondering how bad could this get? With just a single click of my mouse, this video can be sent to all your social networks, and e-mail contacts.
I can also share access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

All you have to do to prevent this from happening is - transfer bitcoins worth $1450 (USD) to my Bitcoin address (if you have no idea how to do this, you can open your browser and simply search: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1AbhXaiFxR52NDTrjAtzsdyhooVNoVchy1

After receiving a confirmation of your payment, I will delete the video right away, and that's it, you will never hear from me again.
You have 2 days (48 hours) to complete this transaction.
Once you open this e-mail, I will receive a notification, and my timer will start ticking.

Any attempt to file a complaint will not result in anything, since this e-mail cannot be traced back, same as my bitcoin id.
I have been working on this for a very long time by now; I do not give any chance for a mistake.

If, by any chance I find out that you have shared this message with anybody else, I will broadcast your video as mentioned above.

Payment from your account.

Greetings!

I have to share bad news with you.
Approximately few months ago I have gained access to your devices, which you use for internet browsing.
After that, I have started tracking your internet activities.

Here is the sequence of events:
Some time ago I have purchased access to email accounts from hackers (nowadays, it is quite simple to purchase such thing online).
Obviously, I have easily managed to log in to your email account (webmaster8998.hilton@blogger.com).

One week later, I have already installed Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all the devices that you use to access your email.
In fact, it was not really hard at all (since you were following the links from your inbox emails).
All ingenious is simple. =)

This software provides me with access to all the controllers of your devices (e.g., your microphone, video camera and keyboard).
I have downloaded all your information, data, photos, web browsing history to my servers.
I have access to all your messengers, social networks, emails, chat history and contacts list.
My virus continuously refreshes the signatures (it is driver-based), and hence remains invisible for antivirus software.

Likewise, I guess by now you understand why I have stayed undetected until this letter...

While gathering information about you, I have discovered that you are a big fan of adult websites.
You really love visiting porn websites and watching exciting videos, while enduring an enormous amount of pleasure.
Well, I have managed to record a number of your dirty scenes and montaged a few videos, which show the way you masturbate and reach orgasms.

If you have doubts, I can make a few clicks of my mouse and all your videos will be shared to your friends, colleagues and relatives.
I have also no issue at all to make them available for public access.
I guess, you really don't want that to happen, considering the specificity of the videos you like to watch, (you perfectly know what I mean) it will cause a true catastrophe for you.

Let's settle it this way:
You transfer $1550 USD to me (in bitcoin equivalent according to the exchange rate at the moment of funds transfer), and once the transfer is received, I will delete all this dirty stuff right away.
After that we will forget about each other. I also promise to deactivate and delete all the harmful software from your devices. Trust me, I keep my word.

This is a fair deal and the price is quite low, considering that I have been checking out your profile and traffic for some time by now.
In case, if you don't know how to purchase and transfer the bitcoins - you can use any modern search engine.

Here is my bitcoin wallet: 1665CsfFELrfiiubFZtLsGHGuqbUz1wXcz

You have less than 48 hours from the moment you opened this email (precisely 2 days).

Things you need to avoid from doing:
*Do not reply me (I have created this email inside your inbox and generated the return address).
*Do not try to contact police and other security services. In addition, forget about telling this to you friends. If I discover that (as you can see, it is really not so hard, considering that I control all your systems) - your video will be shared to public right away.
*Don't try to find me - it is absolutely pointless. All the cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous.
*Don't try to reinstall the OS on your devices or throw them away. It is pointless as well, since all the videos have already been saved at remote servers.

Things you don't need to worry about:
*That I won't be able to receive your funds transfer.
- Don't worry, I will see it right away, once you complete the transfer, since I continuously track all your activities (my trojan virus has got a remote-control feature, something like TeamViewer).
*That I will share your videos anyway after you complete the funds transfer.
- Trust me, I have no point to continue creating troubles in your life. If I really wanted that, I would do it long time ago!

Everything will be done in a fair manner!

One more thing... Don't get caught in similar kind of situations anymore in future!
My advice - keep changing all your passwords on a frequent basis

Final day: Tragic News

In memory of Chris Loxton, I offer these photos from the area where he spent his last days, and a poem by John Roff.

What I carry

For Chris Loxton, his family and his friends.

I’m glad that we could help you
with that heavy pack up bushman's nek,

and take your water, let the others share your load.

Equally glad that I could sleep beside you

in that windy cave on your last night of earthly sleep,

and smile at your big honest smile of cleverness at bringing extra noodles,
see part of your ambition as a chef,
and hear some of your great burger recipe

I wish I'd had the chance to try.

Privileged to hear you tell the group,
on your last healthy day on earth,
that what you had enjoyed the most so far
was how we helped each other.

I wish I could replay your smile and soft determination
as we made our way together to the lodge
through all those weird rocks and hills
that sing of God's huge love,
am glad that I could see you joining with the group and walking stronger.

So glad that your last full night was warm,
with people close beside who cared,
beside a fire and in a bed.

I am glad that I was privileged to be there
on that frightening last day, to help in little ways
as something vast and foreign stole your strength
but not your heart,
and glad that we could give you space
to lie down, smile, drink and talk.

I wish that I had said the things that we all need to hear
about uniqueness, courage, value, perseverance, love;
I hope you felt it in the words and arms
of us who were around you at the end of that long day,

and hope that my warm hand upon your shoulder, as the ambulance departed,

helped you shoulder that last load upon your back.

If it would turn time round 

then I would gladly lift the pack right off
your back on that first day and carry it
a thousand times back up the pass
you walked in only one direction,
but I cannot fight with God and bring you back,
just carry little sacred fragments of you,
from those final, smiling, burning days,
for us who need to
Help each other
and to hold you
through these words.

John Roff
