Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

And also the United Earth Alliance/Coalition of Planets and later the Federation classified Romulan cloaks from all but those who had to see the information. Since Kirk and his crew were never on a need-to-know-basis they never knew it existed.

 

That's a good point. The use of the word "over" is pretty indicative that the age is up there and considered past the retirement age. Don't you agree, Jim? *nudge-nudge*

 

No. That's like saying someone signed Dwayne Johnson to do an action flick because Dave Bautista was too expensive.

 

Actually, it seems that YOU don't need more legacy characters added to the mix.

Most of the rest of us are fine with it.

 

When did you bring that up? I just did a search, and this post is the only time you have posted anything in the Future of Trek forum using the terms Miles, Keiko, Cordelia, Wesley or Angel. So I'm not sure what exactly it is you're trying to say right now.

If you're trying to make an issue of such characters moving from one show to another, so what? Spin-offs port characters from the parent show all the time.

I knew it was a ratings stunt, but I never thought it was cheap.
I was cool with it at the time cause DS-9 was kinda-sorta in a slump.

 

Honestly, they should have given him a starbase command.

 

Yes, but does the bridge face forward or is it offset by 35 degrees? Damnit, the other thread needs to know!

 

I'm popping the corn and breaking out the cold drinks as we speak!

 

I think that is up for debate.

 

Debate! That's what this board is for... it's why we're here!

 

THAT'S WHY WE ARE BORED WITH HER.

 

I think they had a good actor in the role, but the writers always seemed more interested in how Burnham connected to the rest of the Star Trek universe than actually building the character up in her own right.

 

FIGHT!

 

Naturally.

 

Who pissed off Sulu?

 

Someone on FB noticed revisions to the bridge set - outer corridors gone - and old-school boots:

 

So what are the chances of finally seeing the bowling alley?
