Spoilers Season 2 Trailer

[Noname Given]

We drove a 5th grade substitute teacher to snap and start cussing us out.

In my 8th grade year (this was circa 1976-77) - we had a substitute Asian teacher (fairly young, in his late 20ies/early 30ies) that honestly couldn't speak English well at all , who was subbing for a regular teacher on sabbatical for the entire semester; and he would really get upset when students would ask him to repeat something (because we couldn't understand him) and he thought he spoke great English.

Anyway, (and yes, we little teenaged bastards all planned this beforehand) on the final day of the semester just before summer vacation, when the ending bell rang, we all turned over our desks and ran out of the room - and he wasn't able to actually catch any of us as we ran.

Funny thing was, no one in that class was either brought in to the Administration office, or spoken to in any way later, so either he didn't report it (because they had all our names on the Roll of course); or the Local Administration didn't want to deal with it further.

If anybody did that today and they'd end up arrested as terrorists or some shit.

So, why isn't Linus in this trailer?

It was either Linus or Spock's Beard. They made the right choice, sorry Linus. We still like you, but we like the Beard more.

 

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

Linus with a beard will be revealed in the final trailer.

I hated middle school. All the kids who had been nice and chill in elementary school suddenly treated me like an outcast nerd for no reason. Excuuuse me for liking sci-fi and not being able to afford all the designer jeans and sneakers that everybody else had.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled Star Trek: Discovery discussion.

1st day of middle school, circa 1989, fresh off a trek con here in Tucson, AZ, proudly wore my ST: V t-shirt featuring the Klingons. Wrong choice. Learned at the bus stop that Trek just wasn't cool. Had to turn the shirt inside out to slow the teasing. Was known as the Star Trek nerd the rest of middle school...

 

[DaveyNY]

Do we know yet the name of the ship that's shown crashed in the trailer?

 

[cultcross]

The USS Childhood.

I'm with you guys. F middle school. Worst years of my life which only set up years and years of damage control. But now my favorite t-shirt is a Captain Picard shirt that I always get compliments on!

Things change. I actually met my wife due to a Star Wars shirt. It said "Let's watch Star Wars and Cuddle'. Gave me her number on the street. In the past sci-fi shirts were girl repellent. ;-)

There was that kind of slow coming out process wasn’t there. I remember finding a Trek paperback on my girlfriends shelf, and that was that, my Trek stuff came out of the box in my dads loft, I leant her tons more, and now we are married and our son has a starship collection. Score.
Geeks have it easy Now.
In those days there were no geek bars, no geek pride rallies (I mean sure, we call them Comic-Con...but it those days there was more actual comics at it...)

Discovering that a significant other is into the litverse by accident is more fantastic than all the stories in said litverse. Nice!

 

[Noname Given]

The USS Childhood.

Don't you mean: "The U.S.S. Raped My Childhood"??

 

[Agony_Boothb]

The novel was even worse. I always love how they paint McCoy as irrational about transporters when that is a possibility!

After I commented, I watched the scene on Youtube to see if it would have the same impact and suffice to say it did.
I then fell down a google rabbit hole and found the passage from the book that depicts the scene. Oh man.

I'd be with McCoy. I'll just take a shuttle, or walk down to the planet in a spacesuit.

Pretty much yes. Ugh, and that scream...so completely unsettling. Should be in all haunted houses and horror movies.

I just rewatched the trailer. This time with a more critical eye instead of "Oh my God! This looks great!!!" The Angels that Spock sees must be something out there he senses. Much like he sensed V'Ger.

On another note: I feel like Pike saying he's not leaving anyone behind is going to be a part of a scene or a critical point in whichever episode it's from showing how different he is from Lorca.

Third thing of note: What's going on with Saru when he's lying down?

 

[Cyrus]

Do we know yet the name of the ship that's shown crashed in the trailer?

Supposed to be USS Hiawatha. That is where the character played by Tig Notaro comes from.

Kids can't walk through a neighborhood by themselves without being arrested as terrorists these days




And for the record...I loved middle school.

 

[Agony_Boothb]

What's going on with Saru when he's lying down?

From the trailers it looks like he gets injured and Burnham has to rescue him. My guess is that he's recovering in his quarters (which look really cool btw) in the scene you mentioned. Either that or Burnham and Saru are rehearsing for a production of Romeo and Juliet. Let the shipping commence.

Finally! Discovery becomes real Star Trek by embracing Shakespeare!

Is it strictly incest if your existence is not canon?

Discuss.
