Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

Plus, in the vision Pike didn’t save all of the cadets, while in the Menagerie it was implied all were rescued, seems like Pike perhaps accepts his own fate to save all of the cadets.

I might be reading too much into it, but I took what he saw as a subjective vision, with Present!Pike seeing how Future!Pike remembers it... Mendez said Pike dragged all those cadets to safety, while in the vision he saw the cadets were able to escape all by themselves, and the glass wall was erected as he was trying and failing to save the last one inside. As I was watching it, I felt as if Future!Pike was beating himself up over his failure to save everyone, almost as if he could only see the one single cadet he couldn't save.

I wonder if the memory began to diminish almost immediately once he left Boreth?

Perhaps that is why when he's talking to L'Rell & Tyler he has such as questioning look on his face.

Maybe leaving the planet actually causes the foreseen future incidents to fade form ones memories?
(or maybe he has to stay within very close proximity of his particular time crystal to retain them)

The Menagerie says he went in and pulled out the cadets that were still alive. So some did die immediately when the baffle plate ruptured.

The vision doesn't show him everything. It shows him the horror without anything that mitigates it. The crystals intend to discourage people from taking them. So Pike gets the nightmare, without circumstances that make it less terrible, like saving a bunch of cadets or Spock taking him to Talos.

I'm gonna assume that the writers, producers and director didn't wanna spend a lot run time on Pike dragging kid after kid from the engineering room.

Agreed, and I appreciate their choice in this matter.

That's what I meant. And that's what those other instances were, too. Yet, people seemed to appreciate the gesture nonetheless. And we've gotten much more than just that here. What more do you want?

I know..... I am one but I'm not that demanding, not that I don't care about what is onscreen or anything but I'm just not that uptight or fussy like some fans tend to be. If I like a story I'll roll with it. I really don't feel the need to really get hung up over every moment of continuity or if something looks different to how it looked in a show a billion years in the past. There's just not enough time to get hung up on details like that to that extent.

CBS needs some cooler ads on their streaming service. It's such a shame that there is no Pontiac brand at GM any more. If it still existed, and they trotted out a new Star Chief model, there could be a new version of this ad:

Strictly for the 'Star' association, of course.

If they trotted out a Star Chief now, you'd have to cut off your legs to fit in the back seat.

Hey look what they revealed over at the Trek website for the Trek Cruise announcement! https://www.startrek.com/sites/defa...nouncement.cover_.1920x1080.jpg?itok=zH2lmHTA

 

[Lord Garth]

The Enterprise exterior, the Enterprise interior, the Enterprise bridge, Spock, Spock completely with it, and Spock completely with it in uniform. You have to give them credit. They didn't bring everything out all at once. They were slowly revealed over the course of a season. Same with the Klingon hair, D7, and L'Rell's Chancellor outfit. They introduced the changes at opposite ends of the season. They didn't go the Instant Gratification route.
