  • Paramount has been trying to get bought out by Skydance, so they’ve been cutting costs to make themselves look more attractive. They probably believe that the long term earning potential of the Star Trek property is in the SNW brand and not LD. I personally suspect that when SNW is over we’ll see a rebooted TOS using the lore foundation SNW has laid. (Also I could be misremembering, but wasn’t Balance of Terror supposed to have been the first time the Federation interacted with the Romulans in a long time? That would also be a contradiction created by SNW.)














  • Now you’ve gotten your inventory counts off. There’s also a (marginal) cost difference between the two size cartons. Of course, this needs to be balanced against customer satisfaction- there will be a non-zero number of customers who won’t want the upsell or to buy an alternative item, and so the question is how much business would you lose vs how much money you’d make offset with the extra time and corporate headache of reconciling inventory?

    Not that Sonic shouldn’t do this, just throwing out some real-world considerations.
