Josh Gad knows exactly why he wasn't cast in James Cameron's epic franchise of Avatar films — and it's a funnier reason than you might think. The actor is speaking out about his experience auditioning for the popular movies in his new memoir, In Gad We Trust (out now), and even though he got far in the audition process — going so far as to fly out to Los Angeles to meet with director Cameron — he didn't get the part due to his looks. Well, his blue looks.
As excerpted by Entertainment Weekly, Gad says he auditioned "to play the role of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington)'s best friend and translator to the alien race known as the Na'vi" during a decidedly joyless run in the Broadway musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, back in 2006. And though Gad was committed to staying in the show until his contracted run was through,...

Set phasers to spoilers, because this article discusses major plot details from the "Star Trek: Lower Decks" series finale.
The time has finally come for one of the best new additions to the "Star Trek" franchise (and one of the biggest pleasant surprises) to sail into the sunset, and the "Lower Decks" series finale certainly did right by all of its beloved characters. The fifth and final season as a whole feels like it couldn't have been planned any better, as it has gone out of its way to bring things full-circle with season 1, incorporated some headline-grabbing cameos, and even shined a light on its (actual) most underappreciated characters. But it just wouldn't be "Lower Decks" if the show's writers didn't throw in at least one last bit of canon-altering information on the way out the door.
To its credit, the animated series did so through the most "Lower Decks" approach possible.

Warning: Spoilers For Star Trek: Lower Decks' Season 5 Finale - "The New Next Generation"Star Trek: Lower Decks' thrilling and resonant finale closes this chapter of the USS Cerritos' lower deckers' Starfleet careers, but not before the California Class starship saves Star Trek's Prime timeline.

In a sea of science fiction series that take themselves far too seriously, “Star Trek Lower Decks” has been a sweet and funny balm, a loving parody of the iconic speculative fiction universe that celebrates and pisses on its history in equal measure. Like all good sitcoms, however, “Lower Decks” is coming to an end, and the finale promises to be…maybe, possibly, moderately serious?
The animated series will premiere the finale to its fifth and final season Thursday, December 19, on Paramount+. The episode, titled “The New Next Generation” in reference to the beloved ’80s-’90s “Star Trek” series starring Patrick Stewart, will have an extended running time, and bring back a few characters from the show’s past. Among them are Klingon brothers, Malor (voiced by Sam Witwer) and Ma’ah (Jon Curry), first seen in a previous Season 5 episode. In an exclusive clip shared with IndieWire, the duo...

Used on more than a few occasions over the years, Star Trek's best weapon to beat Klingons probably isn't what you think it is. Klingons have been iconic Starfleet enemies since Star Trek: The Original Series season 1, episode 26, "Errand of Mercy", which saw Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) defend the Organians from Klingon Commander Kor (John Colicos). Unlike Starfleet phasers, Klingon disruptors have no stun setting, proving their thirst for blood. Time and again, Kirk's Klingon enemies match the USS Enterprise captain's battle strategy, starship armaments, and taste for revengebest served cold, of course.
Klingons are redefined by Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, with an emphasis on rituals and honor that changes the Klingons' favored weapons. Instead of carrying disruptors like Tos Klingons, 24th-century Klingon combat is defined by bladed weapons, like the two-handed bat'leth, the smaller mek'leth, and the d'k tagh dagger.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 perfectly illustrates one of the reasons why Klingon stories work so well on Star Trek. Klingons have been a part of Star Trek since 1967 when the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Errand of Mercy" first aired. At this time, the Klingons were enemies of the United Federation of Planets, and Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) faced the Klingons numerous times. In Star Trek: The Next Generation's 24th century era, however, the Klingons had become allies with the Federation.
The presence of Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn) among the crew of the USS Enterprise-d gave Star Trek: The Next Generation the chance to dive deeper into Klingon culture.

One of the many wonderful things about the "Star Trek" franchise is that there are plenty of different little sub-fandoms to dig into. There are Trekkies who can tell you everything there is to know about all of the most important Starfleet ships and the difference between their warp cores and nacelles. Elsewhere, there are fans who not only have a deep love of the Federation and its many captains, but who can also argue about how Kirk really "beat" the Kobayashi Maru all day. And then there are fans like me, who really freaking love the Alpha Quadrant's most violent and drunken alien species: the Klingons.

Mariner attended Starfleet Academy with Nicholas Locarno, Wesley Crusher, and Sito Jaxa in 2268, and was devastated by Sito's death in 2271. Mariner has served on multiple Starfleet ships, including during the Dominion War, and has ties to characters from Star Trek: Tng and DS9. She could have a higher rank, but chooses to remain a Lower Decker.
Star Trek: Lower Decks' Lieutenant Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) has lived an incredible life in Starfleet, but how old is she, anyway? Mariner was promoted to Lieutenant, junior grade - her second jump up to that rank - at the start of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4, episode 9 reveals that Klingons have pink blood, a departure from their usual red blood. The choice to give Klingons pink blood was made in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country to create an alien look and to avoid a higher film rating. While Klingons have mostly been portrayed as having red blood, there is speculation among fans that their blood color may vary due to atmospheric conditions.
Star Trek: Lower Decks just brought back Klingons with pink blood rather than red. A mysterious enemy has been plaguing the Federation throughout Lower Decks season 4, and episode 9, "The Inner Fight," finally provides some answers.

"Star Trek: Lower Decks" reminds viewers of the horrors and tragedy of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's" Dominion War, highlighting the mental toll it has left on veterans like Mariner. The Dominion War was a brutal and unflinching portrayal of warfare, with no honor, only death and destruction. It interrogated what Starfleet would sacrifice to protect the Federation. Mariner's experiences in the Dominion War are why she refuses promotions and doesn't want to be responsible for sending her friends to their death. Her reunion with Nick Locarno may help her move past the war's tragedy.

For many years, death in "Star Trek" was a permanent event. To cite a notable example: when Captain Kirk's brother Sam (William Shatner) was killed in the episode "Operation -- Annihilate!", he was dead forever. There wasn't a storyline later in the series wherein Sam was cloned or resurrected somehow.
In 2023, the tune on death has changed, and multiple characters have now died and returned. Naturally, "Star Trek III: The Seach for Spock" surrounded the resurrection of the title character (Leonard Nimoy). Every Trekkie can tell you the saga of the death of Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby) and her subsequent return in the form of her half-Romulan daughter Sela.
Neelix (Ethan Phillips) was killed and brought back via Borg technology in the "Star Trek: Voyager" episode "Mortal Coil," and Dr. Culber (Wilson Cruz) was salvaged from a mushroom dimension. More recently, In "Star Trek: Picard," Data (Brent Spiner), who...
