Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns on July 17
The third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds finally drops on July 17. It's been around two years since the Paramount+ exclusive was last on the air. It's a two-episode premiere, so that's something. We've already gotten a juicy trailer for the upcoming season and Paramount+ just unveiled a cool poster to advertise the release date. It shows all of the main characters wandering through, well, a strange new world. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. For the uninitiated, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds follows Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise. This is the very same Enterprise that will one day be captained by James Kirk. It's a prequel, so there are new actors playing franchise legends like Spock, Uhura and Nurse Chapel. Of course, as the show gets closer to the events of The Original Series , more familiar characters have been popping up. Kirk has been all over the place and the same goes for Scotty. We've even gotten Sybok, Spock's half-brother who will one day lead the crew on a search to find God in the critically-reviled Star Trek V: The Final Frontier . To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. It's a neat show, with a mystery-of-the-week format that recalls classic Trek. Season two ended on a cliffhanger, so it'll be interesting to see how that shakes out. Season three of Strange New Worlds looks to include a visit to the 1960s version of Star Trek, complete with period-accurate costumes and sets, and a murder-mystery set in the Holodeck (or something similar.)

It's unclear whether Emirates, which has a widebody fleet of about 250 jets and more than 300 on order from Boeing Co. and Airbus SE, would make the service complimentary or only free to loyalty and premium passengers, said the people, asking not to be identified as the negotiations are confidential. While more airlines around the world are rolling out the Starlink service on board, winning Emirates would be an important endorsement for the product because the airline has one of the biggest fleets and is globally recognized for its premium service. At the same time, Starlink doesn't work in China and Russia, two major markets that Emirates serves, meaning the airline would need to consider a workaround or cut the product off over those air spaces.

The service does work on Boeing's 777, a jet that makes up more than half of the airline's fleet. The Airbus A350, which Emirates has begun adding to its fleet, should receive Starlink approval in the next few weeks, according to its website. Emirates said it's committed to the best in-flight service, while declining to comment on the deal. SpaceX didn't respond to a request for comment. The carrier is in negotiations over the monthly payments to Starlink, which include a charge for every seat — whether it is occupied or not, one person said. But some fees could come down if the carrier makes concessions including signing on for longer or buying a higher number of units, the person added. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Most passengers on Emirates — which operates some of the longest routes globally — now have to pay for internet packages on board. The deal is not final and the airline could decide to partner with another provider like Viasat Inc., the people cautioned. For now, Starlink isn't authorized for use in the United Arab Emirates, and a deal would likely require a reversal of that policy. Earlier this week, Musk said Saudi Arabia will authorize the use of Starlink for aviation and maritime purposes as part of President Donald Trump's Riyadh visit. In the region, Qatar, Bahrain and Jordan allow the use of Starlink. Emirates competitor Qatar Airways started rolling out the satellite internet for passengers across its Boeing 777 fleet last year. Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's startup carrier that's set to launch by the end of the year, has partnered with Viasat. Toronto Maple Leafs Relationships World Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls
