Spoilers A big hint about the finale/season 3 has dropped...

[Yistaan]

They look remarkably alike.

At some angles, but Quinto has a fuller face. I know what I said earlier, but thinking on it, leaving the thread seemed like allowing the types of posts encouraging exclusion as working, (i.e. outright orders to "don't even bother" to talk to someone) so I'm here talking about the Star Trek I love

We'll all see what happens in Season 3, but it would be nice if Spock isn't left hanging about the fate of Burnham, especially after he resolved things with her.

Post reported--
"Uncalled for personal attack and bad language used to demean another poster. Encouragement of ignoring another poster solely due to differences of opinion."

Further posts utilizing bad language (even blanked out) as personal attacks will also be reported as well.

Quoted from https://www.trekbbs.com/rules/ :
- No flaming. You can't call someone an ass or even use a tame term. If it's getting personal, step away from the computer.

We are here to discuss Star Trek (and in my posts, the actors and their resemblances to each other). Not other posters. As this thread seems to have shifted from Star Trek (Nimoy, Quinto, Star Trek in general) and to posts about me, it is to be blunt uncalled for. I made the appropriate followup report and am leaving.

Saying you're being obtuse isn't a flame, it's describing a behavior. "Bad" language is allowed here, and he didn't even say it. He wasn't talking about putting you on ignore, just telling another poster there was no point in debating the issue with you. There was nothing against the rules posted there.

I accept the interpretation of the rules then. I'm sorry I got it wrong.

With all due respect, I had interpreted "obtuse" as meaning "annoyingly insensitive" (per the google definition-- 1. annoyingly insensitive) and I did not feel I showed insensitivity to any other poster in the post in contention

Nimoys second wife married him when he was 58. Im not sure she even knew him at the time Nimoy was 31, the age of Quinto when he was cast.

It appears the "tone" of discussion here probably just isn't for me and I should probably look into other internet boards. Sorry again for my misunderstanding.

I did have a question though, if it's allowed. Is calling a post "stupid" also ok? If it's not a violation of the terms, just say so because I'm genuinely confused.

This is stupid.

This will either be the best thing to ever happen to Star Trek or the worst. However, I have to say I'm leaning towards the latter. The last handful of episodes makes me doubt the current creative team lacks the creative talent necessary to pull it off. A massive time jump can't save the show from dull, talky melodrama with all the emotional maturity of a potato.

I'm fairly confident now that any of the saccharine fun at the beginning of the season was really leftover Berry Sherbert.

 

[Nerys Myk]

It wouldn't, Big Bird's species has been a member of the Federation for decades. Pike will probably brag about he and Big Bird went to the Academy together.

Big Bird was a prisoner of the Talosians. He and Pike were prison buddies. This is canon.

Lord Garth was apparently getting frustrated and lashed out a bit harshly and rudely toward you there. While calling the content of a post stupid in an of itself is not actionable, the combination of that and the obtuse comment and the call for another poster not to engage with you does look bad. @Lord Garth, please don't do that again.

But Yistaan, as far as internet "insults" go, this stuff was really mild. I get that it's not what you may be used to or prefer, and I hope it doesn't dissuade you from continuing to post here, but unless someone is openly calling you names you had a pretty good day as far as internet forum surfing goes. Just let the small stuff roll off your back.

Post, not poster, so yes, calling a post "stupid" is "ok".

 

[ITDUDE]

Is there actually proof of any of the claims about a time jump? Because the source seems to be some guy’s clickbait site.

We don’t need no proof for a fun debate

I am only reporting what I heard. I see no reason to second either Nimoy or his wife at the time when she saw Quinto in makeup. If you want specific quotes I'll happily oblige. Any excuse to roll through ST 09 BTS is fine by me.

Make of it what you will.

"Fun" is a relative term.

Thank you for the clarifications.

Yeah I believe you, I think I have seen the quotes myself. And I don't doubt the Nimoys' sincerity in their comments either. I may be influenced by my own experiences, seeing as I doubt I could make any judgment on who resembles my wife 10 years before we met (her photos look very different), much less longer than that.

Variation in personal appearance is a funny thing. One need only look at Patrick Steward to realize that aging is weird.

For myself, I see this as the showrunners conceding that they don't have the ability of making the show work in the 23rd century setting. Will we have the crew attempt to find a way home as the central theme of the series and being constantly foiled in their attempts? I have never seen it work well. Examples: Space: 1999, Voyager, Stargate: Universe.

 

[rahullak]

Maybe Control is one of the players in the TCW and Discovery becomes a part of that in the 28th/33rd centuries.

One thing's for sure: story-telling opportunities at the grand scale that Discovery wants to take are limited in the 23rd century. Saved the Multiverse once. Saving the sentient life in the galaxy once. Next? Get lost somewhere and fight to survive, presumably.

You do realize that the idea is to just click the REPORT link and move on, right?
All the rest is quite unnecessary.

Ah, never mind... I see I'm late to the party as usual.

Captain America doesn't have magical healing blood...

Yeah, the Marvel Universe never ventures into implausible nonsense.

Speaking of magical healing... Snikt!

Thought that said Family Guy there for a minute.

Do NOT curse something this evil into existence!

 

[Norsehound]

I don't get it. People are unhappy with the DSC Klingons, so they give them hair to make them look more like TNG klingons. People are unhappy with the prequel status of DSC, wanting a return to the post-Nemesis era of Trek, so DSC moves to the 28th century and people are unhappy?

In some respects I wish Discovery was "left alone". DSC season one Klingons are my favorite take outside of TOS, and I liked some of the broad strokes and tones of DSC season 1. Pike and some of the plots are a great take on Discovery but I don't like the show tripping over itself to "maintain canon". It can be a nice nod sometimes, but others, it's painfully obvious they're applying a patch to keep diehard fans happy ("Oh, Good to see the Klingons growing their hair back.")

Frankly I don't mind at all seeing more stories told contemporary to TOS. This era of trek history is woefully unexplored, and I'd rather see more of that than anything from the TNG era.

 

[F. King Daniel]

It's worth pointing out that it was rumoured (that is to say, I know I read it somewhere but cannot find the link for the life of me) that the Fuller-era anthology plan for the end of season one was the spore jump out of the mirror universe, but that they in fact overshoot by a century and instead of the Enterprise, meet a 24th century Federation ship ("Cause and Effect" style) which becomes the focus of season 2.

If the time jump happens, I bet there will be a Pike spin-off. So they will still have a show in the 23rd century.
