Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

IIRC, his death and the destruction of the Kelvin by Nero and the Narada is what caused the split in the timeline, so I would think he should be dead in both. More's the pity - I would love to have seen Faran Tahir reprise his role as the ultimate Starfleet badass.

Why should he be dead in both, if he wasn't killed by Nero? I don't understand.
 
Hmmm... now that I think about this again this is a good question. I guess the timeline split at the exact moment with the arrival of Nero and the Narada and not with the Kelvin's destruction, as the latter act is exclusively a consequence of the former act.

Yeah, I guess he would be still alive. Awesomeness! Hopefully this will present an opportunity the writers can employ.
 
I haven't had time to go back and read this thread. Has anyone discussed the implications of having Fleet Admiral Robau meeting Brian Brophy?

Yes but since Picard is cancelled because of Kurtzman getting bad fan feedback from early season 2 footage from test audiences it will never be. I will continue to hope though Midnight Edge will bring better news someday.

ugh.. Just have a new LGBTQIA character.. if they introduce Sulu and want to keep him as gay, thats okay, but Kirk? the Pinical of masculinity? I know having a guy.. well.. being a guy isn't in style right now but come on!
 
George Takei didn't think it was okay to have Sulu gay in Beyond. I envision Shatner's probably going to have a meltdown over this, particularly since it's allegedly in the Prime Universe and not even in the Abramsverse. Agreed, make a new character. Don't change Kirk. He's clearly hetero to the core, although it admittedly could have gone either way with Martia in Undiscovered Country, depending on circumstances and personal preference. "What IS it with you anyway?" :lol:
 
Wow, those people from the 1970s who drew all that fanfic really were onto something! :devil:

And nowadays fanfic has been melded in as "meta 4th wall winks and nods"... even mimicking cereal spots from the 1980s... today's 20-somethings probably do get a hoot out of that...
 
I'm guessing after the Pike Series, they'll do a Kirk Series. So whoever they cast as Kirk will potentially have a job he can always count on until about 2030. And Ethan Peck is looking at the possibility of two series back-to-back.
@Precious Tritium
nope, didn't say that...
Just saying that a Hetero man liking women and chasing every woman or alien woman like kirk does is frowned upon these days..
I've been a fan since 1991. Even back then, I heard "Kirk's a womanizer!" leveled against him. This isn't a recent thing.

Kirk doesn't actually do that, though.

And being interested in aliens just on sight highly begs the question if he even cares what their genitals are. Which was already lampshaded way back in TUC ("Not everyone keeps their genitals in the same place, like me the girl you're hitting on who can also be a guy").
