Animation is growing more popular, allowing voice actors to record their lines at home, if necessary, or in the studio alone. There is little need for person-to-person contact which makes it ideal in the world were currently living in. Paramount is working on another Star Trek animated series that will see Kate Mulgrew reprising her role as Captain Kathryn Janeway, and while that series might be a breath of fresh air compared to Lower Decks, there are so many others that would work today.

With the actors getting older, live action shows might not be a possibility, but as Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis have proven in Lower Decks, their presences, even though it was only their voices, was welcome. And that would certainly be the case for future animated series, especially with actors who probably wont return to our screens as their former characters as some, like Brent Spiner, feel they are simply too old to continue to play that character.

And though Lower Decks isnt proving to be a ratings blockbuster, that doesnt mean that the right series, with the right characters, wouldnt be, especially with familiar characters and voices that fans have missed over the years. Even series with new characters could work if done right. Lets take a look at some of the animated series that could work and would be a breath of fresh air to the franchise.

Its only Episode 3 of Below Deck and everyones ready for it to be over. The first charter, of course, not the entire season! Weve suffered through two weeks with these horrendously high-maintenance guests and its time to get them off the boat. So thankfully, although this week picks up right at the end of the fight over James Hough, it all fizzles quicker than Francesca Rubi letting the air out of a balloon. In fact, the only thing not deflating looks to be James chances with Francesca? Because surprisingly, the chief stew doesnt entirely turn down the junior deckhands flirtatious banter. But maybe thats just a sign that this first, terrible charter has made everyone on board crazy.

The next morning, the charter draws to a blessedly quick close. One thats made even quicker by the fact that Captain Lee Rosbach opts to pull anchor and head for the dock early on account of the rain. So after a streamlined breakfast of French toast by Rachel Hargrove and a particularly tight docking, its time for guest departure. Oh, but one more thing! Because of course theres one more thing. Primary guest (from hell) Charley cant help but be a bit condescending in his goodbye, but follows it up with a giant tip $25,000 to be exact. Which is huge, especially considering the crew was literally expecting no tip at all. But does giving a giant tip truly make up for being a terrible scourge on charter crews everywhere? I guess thats just the world of yachting

Meanwhile, theres a shifting wind aboard My Seanna in the form of a personnel change. Izzy Wouters told Captain Lee last week that shed rather be a deckhand than a third stew, and her wish has been granted. Honestly, its a change that works well for everyone. Izzys happier. Francescas relieved to have her off her hands. And Eddie Lucas gains someone more experienced than Shane Coopersmith on his exterior team. Its the definition of a win-win. Immediately, Eddie welcomes Izzy by holding a line handling crash course. And after watching it, I feel like Imeven more qualified to be a deckhand than Sunshine Shane, god love him. The quick training also taught me a few things I didnt know after watching 13 seasons of the Below Deck franchise for the last 7 years. I can rattle off the purpose of a forward spring line, but please dont ask me the difference between a shackle and a shot.

Despite the one-day turnaround, the crew celebrates surviving their first charter with a night out on the town. James is particularly ready to hit the clubs and get wasted, but the mood at the dinner table is decidedly more sedate. Its a huge letdown for the Brit when the most exciting thing that happens to him all night is a debate over astrology with Elizabeth Frankini. In which James reveals he doesnt believe in astrology but is also a Gemini. Because of course he is. By 9:30 p.m., the rest of the crew is ready to head back to the boat, and unanimously vote that the wild night out ends as a vaguely pleasant evening. I know producers cant force them to go party, but it truly was a bit of a snooze-fest. Chalk it up to more air being let out of the proverbial balloon.

The next charter is a surprise in the form of a group of rich, entitled 20-somethings. And theyre ready to get hammered while Daddy pays for the mega-yacht. Maybe James can party with them? No, seriously, were talking like a 22-year-old college quarterback named Max, a surfing entrepreneur named Dax, their girlfriends and an entourage. Including one who might be named Jax? Either way, they could basically be high schoolers, theyre so young. And all they want to do is drink and do Jell-O shots for Bravos cameras. You know they havent reached maturity yet when the primary request on their preference sheet is to have the private yacht chef make nothing but Jell-O shots. Poor Rachel.

The day gets off to a rocky start for the deck team too. Its seems Shane, whom Eddies not-so-lovingly nicknamed Sunshine for the season, doesnt quite understand the meaning of being on time. At 8 a.m., adorable Shane is taking his sweet time. Hes brushing his teeth and intensely reading some sort of map before Eddie has to come find him. In better news, the new third stew arrives in the form of Ashling Laura, whos just arrived in the Caribbean from her native Australia. On first impression, Ashling seems darling. Shes blonde, cheerful and practically radiates Aussie sunshine. Obviously James is immediately smitten and jokes about having to share a room with the new stew. But instead, Izzy makes a protective maneuver on behalf of the newbie and offers to give up her bunk with Elizabeth and room with James instead. Nice try, James!

With the crew finally rounded out, the charter sets sail. And of course, it only takes a couple margaritas for these entitled kids to be stumbling around the boat worse than Eddie. (For real though, will Eddie ever be able to get out of bed this season without falling on his face?) For this charter, Francesca also promotes Elizabeth to the role of second stew, presenting her with the corresponding epaulets on a sort of trial basis. The promotion doesnt seem too promising though. The stew gives Captain Lee a wet shirt ahead of the charter and promptly pawns her ironing responsibility off on Ashling. HmmFrancescas not going to like that.

Almost immediately after anchoring, the weather turns again, and sweet Sunshine points out over the radio that its rainingafter its already raining. Eddie makes a snarky comment over the radio about Shane being quick on the uptake and the junior deckhand bristles at the bosuns sarcasm. Inexplicably, he decides this is a hill to die on, and chooses to confront Eddie face-to-face. Eddies patience has already been running thin with sweet Sunshine, so he doesnt exactly take well to the scolding. Before you can say conservation, the stand-off erupts into boiling tension between the two. Its palpable, and you can almost see the moment Eddies face darkens. Shanes proud of defending himself, but something tells me his days on My Seanna might be numbered.

On the first night, the college crew has requested a sushi dinner. No problem, right? Oh wait, they want it served on the body of a naked model. Because theyre either immature children whove never been told no in their lives, or theyve just seen Sex and the City one too many times. (Wait, theres no such thing as one too many times when it comes to that movie.) Either way, they clearly missed Vicki Gunvalson lecturing a naked sushi model on the value of an education back in Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Orange County. You know, when these charter guests were in middle school.

Eddie and Sunshine are tasked with picking the naked sushi model up on shore. But even a simple task like getting back to the boat turns into a headache. Shane misses the boat with his line, which promptly gets stuck underneath the tender where he cant reach it. Eddie ends up having to somehow use the anchor to retrieve the line and save the day before it causes serious damage. And mind you, all of this is happening in full view of the crew and a very annoyed Captain Lee. Eddie points out that he cant exactly get mad at the hapless deckhand. But that kind of mistake certainly doesnt make the kid look good.

The sushi dinner, meanwhile, goes off without a hitch. Having trained in Japan, Rachel has expertly prepared a huge spread of high-class sushi made of the finest ingredients. All of which is completely lost on the drunk college kids at the table. They have no idea what theyre eating. Theyre more concerned with taking pictures of themselves chowing down over the naked sushi models body. And pairing the meal with more Jell-O shots. If this is the best the rising generation has to offer, all I can say is lord help us all. Now, chef, bring more Jell-O shots!

TELL US WHATS YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF ASHLING? IS ELIZABETH GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER NEW PROMOTION? ARE THESE TWENTY-SOMETHINGS WORSE THAN THE FIRST BELOW DECK CHARTER GUESTS? WOULD YOU EAT SUSHI OFF A NAKED MODEL?

All Hands On Deck Needed For Annual Toy Drive in Rockford - q985online.com

Below Deck cast members sounded off in response to charter guest Charley Walters assertion he was told to be demanding.

Third stew Jessica More from Below Deck Mediterranean shared that the show should not be about rudeness. I dont agree with this, she responded to Below Deck Above Averages Instagram post about Walters insistence he was told to be demanding on the show.

Shows dont need to be about tacky rude drama, she continued. So many folks actually want to see heartfelt good drama that is being deprived on our TVs Another former Below Deck cast member replied to the post too. Schmuck thinks demanding and demeaning are the same thing, third stew Caroline Bedol from season 6 added.

Walters took a significant amount of heat on social media. As Below Deck Season 8s first charter guest of the season, Walters knew My Seanna as this was his third time as a guest on the show. He was up to his old tricks by having deckhand James Hough wear a Speedo during dinner. He asked second stew Josiah Carter to wear a gold Speedo during season 6, which made the stew extremely uncomfortable.

A slew of viewers thought he and his friends were being too obnoxious on the show. But Walters pushed back, sharing that he was actually told to be demanding.

RELATED: Below Deck Charter Guest Charley Walters Says He Was Told To Be Demanding With the Crew

Im used to this, gang, herepliedon a thread that suggested fans drag him. Do you think @BravoTV has repeat guests back to play nice and be not demanding? Thats not what I was told! Another person asked if [producers] told you to act like a piece of sh*t to the crew? Walters replied, Correct. Thats what makes the show.

He also insisted that he was told to be outrageous when he ordered food. Chef Rachel Hargrove is seen mastering a complex, multi-nation tasting menu at night. And then she had to deal with extremely specific breakfast orders the next day. You are told to come up with the most extravagant orders you can think of, Walters shared onTwitter.

While Captain Lee Rosbach would not specifically address if producers told Walters to be demanding, he did offer a hint.

So Charley is apparently saying @BravoTV tells them to be overly demandingIs that true @capthlr? a fantweeted. Or is he just truly the jackass he comes off as? Nice to see Eddie back as bosun!!! And you back at the helm of course!

Bravo has never told me to do anything, Rosbach replied. And I just call Charley high maintenance, but he knows that. Is good to have Eddie back, I agree.

Hargrove also told Showbiz Cheat Sheet that Walters was only fronting for the cameras and a producer told him to actually tone down his behavior. And in my 14 years thats the worst charter I ever had, she said. I think it was completely for air time.

Below Deck is on every Monday at 9/8c on Bravo.

'Below Deck' Crew Members Disagree With Charley Walters That Charter Guests Should Be Over the Top - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Financials Tom Daly Mai Nguyen Emily Chow

(Repeats for Asian morning readership. No change to text.)

Nov 17 (Reuters) - China will roll out a new copper futures contract this week that will be open to foreign traders, in a push to boost yuan adoption and wrest some pricing power away from the established industry benchmark in London.

The addition of copper, the worlds most-traded base metal, to a growing suite of international commodity futures will increase Chinas appeal to the global trading community, analysts say, even if limits on yuan convertibility remain a barrier to wider adoption.

Such yuan-denominated products serve two strategic ends: they give global market participants another reason to use the yuan while also boosting Chinas pricing power in key commodities markets.

There is no reason why China, being such a big consumer, shouldnt be the price-maker...and not the price-taker, John Browning, managing director of Bands Financial, an international intermediary brokerage for Chinese commodity exchanges, said in a webinar this month.

The copper contract starts trade on Thursday on the Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE), where Chinas flagship international crude oil futures also trade.

Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economic research at HSBC, said two key requirements for international investors to use the yuan more widely were gradually falling into place.

The first is availability of deep, liquid markets for financial products, while the second is smooth convertibility of the yuan, on which Chinese authorities have taken significant further steps over the past year to facilitate transactions, Neumann added.

Foreign investors ignore onshore trading opportunities at their peril, he said in an email.

A Singapore-based trader who is watching the INE contract closely said Chinas line-up of yuan-denominated commodity futures was starting to make it a formidable trading venue.

We now have gold, silver, oil and international copper contracts in yuan. That should scare the dollar, said the trader, who declined to be identified.

Chinas launch of its crude oil futures in 2018 sought to increase influence over commodity pricing and promote the yuan, whose internationalisation is a longstanding policy objective.

While trading volumes for that contract have been impressive, especially this year, at just one sixth of the dollar-denominated benchmark Brent crude they are far from dominating the global market.

Chinas weight in the global copper market, however, is much larger, accounting for about half the worlds usage.

The countrys emergence as the worlds second-largest economy has created an insatiable appetite for the red metal, which is used in everything from power to construction.

Booming imports this year have propped up prices on the 143-year old London Metal Exchange and the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the INEs parent bourse, where domestic copper futures are traded.

An executive at a major copper supplier to China expects that sooner rather than later, (copper) contracts will be in yuan and the INE price.

However, even the most bullish projections for yuan-priced international commodities trade dont expect it to take off for at least another five years.

Bands Financials Browning, who sees the INE copper price eventually becoming a regional benchmark, said strict currency transmission rules adopted after Chinas 2015 market meltdown have yet to be rolled back, making cross-border currency flows more complex.

The INE copper contract will be settled in yuan but investors using an overseas intermediary will be able to use dollars for the initial margin, the collateral investors must stump up to trades the futures, albeit with a 5% haircut.

Analysts say China may need to further loosen controls and encourage free conversion of the yuan to help investors overcome concerns about trading.

I think there would need to be quite a bit of regulatory reform, currency reform and probably the removal of capital controls, said Caroline Bain, chief commodities economist at Capital Economics.

James Wang, head of sales and dealing at Singapore brokerage Straits Financial, said Chinas strategic ambitions in developing a global benchmark price wont be achieved immediately.

We dont foresee (this happening) in the next two-to-three years, but in 10 years onwards, Wang said.

Below Deck is certainly not the same without Kate. Pic credit: Bravo

Fans want to know what happened to Kate Chastain on Below Deck as Season 8 hit airwaves without the chief stew.

It may seem odd that some viewers are asking about Kate considering most people knew going into the current season of the Bravo show that she would not be chief stew.

However, many fans are asking what happened to Kate. Even Below Deck charter guest Charley Walters was shocked to learn Kate was not the chief stew on his latest trip on the My Seanna.

Sign up for our newsletter!

Charleys group had a lot of issues during their charter with the crew. They endured a lot of fan backlash, which he addressed and admitted the trip was not the same without Kate.

Last February, right after the Season 7 reunion show, Kate announced she was leaving Below Deck after six seasons.

Kate decided it was time to give up yacht life for land life. She moved to New York City to kick off her next chapter.

Rumors immediately began swirling that Kate was joining The Real Housewives of New York City, something Kate has admitted she would like.

Although she was ready to leave Below Deck, Kate was clear she was not done with the Bravo family or Andy Cohen. The latter plays a pivotal role in the network as a producer and host of Watch What Happens Live.

Kate was true to her word too.

Since leaving the hit yachting show, Kate had a limited radio show on SiriusXMs Radio Andy. She also appeared on an episode of the Bravo digital series Ghosted and gave commentary on episodes of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5.

Recently, Kate launched Bravos Chat Room alongside Summer Houses Hannah Berner, The Real Housewives of Potomacs Gizelle Bryant, and The Real Housewives of Atlantas Porsha Williams. The four ladies chat all things Bravo, current events, and pop culture in a virtual chat environment.

The irony of Kate leaving Below Deck after Season 7, which was full of misogynistic behavior, was not lost on fans. There has even been speculation the drama of the season led to Kates decision to exit the Bravo show.

Kate has admitted to not loving the male behavior during the toxic season, but that is not why she left.

I just feel like Im 37 and a half and I dont think a girl should be wearing a skort at 38, Kate told Andy during an episode of WWHL.

Fans and guests certainly miss Kate Chastain on Below Deck. Captain Lee Rosbach missed his friend dearly during filming. He also asked for viewers to give the Season 8 crew a chance.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

What happened to Kate on Below Deck? - Monsters and Critics

Lets just call what happened in Washington, D.C. today what it was: An anti-democracy protest by an assortment of white supremacists, violent fascists, and conspiracy nuts. They came to town to collectively demand the disenfranchisement of more than 78 million Americans, Joe Biden voters, and to reaffirm that legal votes can only be cast by white folks outside of miscegenated cities.

Had they been marching against anti-Black racism or police abuse, cops would probably have violently rioted against them. Instead, the crowd of overwhelmingly white anti-democratic whiners and agitators made their way from Freedom Plaza to the Supreme Court with nary a tear gas canister lobbed or billy club deployed.

The disparate groups of demonstrators called the protest by various names, including Stop the Steal, March for Trump and the Million MAGA Marchthe latter of which was cribbed from the 1995 Million Man March, because these people cant go a day without stealing from Black folks. There were far less than a million people there, though the White House way overinflated the numbers on hand for Trump, just as they did four years ago at this administrations inauguration.

Theres a pretty rich irony in people who cant properly count crowd numbers taking to the streets to demand that the nation accept their feelings about the vote count in various states. And yet the attention paid to a march of however many dozens of thousands of disgruntled and deluded supporters of a candidate who lost by more than 5 million votes is a perfect metaphor for the Trumpism movement. From the moment its leader descended an escalator to the cheers of actors paid $50 each to cheer him, theyve managed to be the center of the national political conversation.

The attendee list was a whos who of prominent white nationalist groups and QAnon supporters, including the Proud Boys, Groypers, and Pizzagate pushers. The media repeatedly refers to these groups as far right or fringe, but this was actually a pretty perfect representation of mainstream Republicanism. In fact, GOP politicians Louie Gohmert, Mike Kelly, and Marjorie Taylor Greene were there to co-sign this display of white entitlement, and egg the whole show on.

The white reactionary politics were on full, proud display. There were plenty of All Lives Matter chants, OK hand signs, and posters with slogans including, Ban Homo Marriage and Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong. Fox News caught sight of a sign that read, 'Coming for Blacks and Indians, Welcome to the New World Order, which was clearly meant to be read as a threat. These arent people who are actually angry about election fraud. Theyre people who believe that having Black and brown votes counted is unfair. White people have rights, damn it. Thats their only real message.

The GOP legislators smiling at all this and hyping these people up know that Trump lost. They know that the unfairness of this election can be found in their gerrymandered districts, our undemocratic electoral college, and Trumps tampering with the USPS. They know that they are potentially stoking violence, delegitimizing the incoming Biden administration, fomenting white racist hate and undermining democracy. Theyre just too invested in maintaining their own power to care.

Speaking of not caring, Trump, who teased an appearance at the rally on Friday, passed through the crowd in his motorcade. Here was a moment when the president, who has been gassing up his followers on conspiracies and racism since before he made it to the White House, could stop his car, step outside, and address his fawning adorerswho unlike the press hes assiduously avoiding, wont have any follow-up questions about the timeline for conceding his historic loss. Instead, he rolled right through them, in his mobile version of a castle, and headed to where he really wanted to bethe golf course. His supporters carried on their protest for Trump, unable to see themselves as the pawns that they are.

The takeaway from the day was pretty simple: There is no way to make these people believe that theyve lost, because they dont believe in democracy. There is no recount that will satisfy them. There is no version of America they want unless their voices, their lives, and their votes take priority.

This was an exhibition protest of sorts. There will be more to come. And we should expect that its going to be, at the least, an annoying four years.

With the My Seanna crew already down a deckhand during the first charter of Season 8, stew Izzy Wouters saw it as an opportunity to see if she could switch to the deck team during the November 9 episode of Below Deck. "I much prefer throwing lines and dealing with heavy machinery," Izzy said during an interview in the episode. "I really want to go outside."

Izzy first broached the subject with none other than Captain Lee Rosbach himself when she ran into him in the galley. "So I know you just lost a deckhand, so I was wondering, if it's possible if I could maybe work on deck and then you find a stew to replace me?" Izzy asked Captain Lee, to which he replied, "How about I take it under consideration, and I'll let you know?"

Izzy explained why she wanted to make the switch during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on November 9. "I went into it, and I kind of knew straight away that I wasn't vibing kind of with the role and vibing with the team and that my talents and personality would be better suited to outside," she said.

She also shared why she went straight to Captain Lee instead of her immediate supervisor, chief stew Francesca Rubi. "So I probably should have gone and spoken to her first, but I think we were all so overwhelmed and so overrun at that point, that I didn't really want to add anything more to that plate," Izzy said. "And I was kind of so desperate to get outside that I was just like, I will do anything to leave."

Izzy dishes more on working with Francesca in the above video from her appearance onWWHL.

Izzy shared on Below Deck that she has her yachtmaster offshore license andexperience working as a skipper. "I've still got a lot to learn, but I think I'm equally as if not more qualified than some of the people on deck," she said in an interview during the episode.

After speaking with Captain Lee, Izzy later told Eddie Lucas that she was interested in joining the deck team, and the bosun gave her something of a job interview on the spot when he needed help adjusting the anchor for the tender during the guests' beach party.

While discussing the possibility of Izzy joining the deck team in the bridge that night, Eddie told Captain Lee that she "was really helpful" during the beach party that afternoon. "Maybe we could take a look at it," Captain Lee told Eddie. "Not make a decision right now."
