Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

"The hero of the Farragut disaster deserves the best ship the fleet can give him."

"How about that one nobody wants to even temporarily command?"

"BRILLIANT!!!"

 

[PixelMagic]

Considering they cast a 39yo to play a 26yo, I'm guessing this is in fact TOS era Kirk from around 2269, and he comes back in time to Pike's era or something.

 

[Yistaan]

Kirk: I don't believe in a no win situation.

Pike: That's why you cheated on the Kobayashi Maru right? Well kid, maybe you can help a brother out because I am in a no win situation! A Klingon time crystal told me that I was going to be horrifically mutilated permanently in a Starfleet training exercise in the future!

Kirk: I've never trusted Klingons, and I never will. I can never forgive them for the deaths in the war. But if I did trust them, if I were you I'd just resign from Starfleet and there's no way that future can happen.

Pike: You know what, you did say you never trusted Klingons so maybe I won't trust them either.

Kirk: ... No one ever accepts my solutions to no win situations.

The uniforms look great.

The Kirk addition is not.

 

[JoseNoodles]

Eh, he's probably commanding some small ship or something they don't mind handing to a fresh newb.

That's what I figure. I mean is that even the Enterprise bridge he's sitting in?

 

[cooleddie74]

The consoles have tan or brown edges. Those aren't the Enterprise bridge colors in either Strange New Worlds or TOS.

It's the only way they can make this work, because we know Kirk and Pike don't meet until Kirk takes over command of the Enterprise

So its likely he's in command of a different ship.

i will say this, i'm interested to see how Wesley's Kirk and Peck's Spock interact if at all.

 

[Rahul]

Well fuck.

So much for "something new". I am SO DONE with nuTrek shoving legacy characters everywhere.

In the first fucking season no less.

Is Paramount about to unleash the Axanar?

 

[Rahul]

I really hope they're not making him a young Cpt. Kirk

I doubt it. It's a poor fit if so.

This aged like milk... within less than a few hours...

 

[BillJ]

The Kirk addition is not.

I think we need to wait and see what the context of Kirk's appearance is.

 

[Tuskin38]

Oh fuck this! I had so much hope that they wouldn't go immediately to Kirk, but apparently they WANT to make this more like the Kelvinverse than the supposed Prime Universe they kept saying they'd honor. Great! Its KIRK! Wonderful...but CAPTAIN Kirk?! This better be some kind of time travel episode or something, because as far as I know he'd be a commander at MOST by 2259...but I guess we'll just forego that, right?!

2260. He’s in season 2 not season 1.

Assuming they do 1 Season = 1 Year

Well fuck.

So much for "something new". I am SO DONE with nuTrek shoving legacy characters everywhere.

In the first fucking season no less.

Season 2, not season 1.

 

[Lord Garth]

Have fun, guys!

 

[zack123]

His appearance might be a time travel episode that is set in "present day" Toronto.
Going by these BTS shots:

Also somebody saying Kirk is driving a car, 2 days before his casting was announced:

And last week there were shots of Christina Chong's character in Toronto too. So this Kirk might not even be from the same time period as Strange New Worlds.

 

[Trekker4747]

I mean, do we need to go to a THIRD Kirk so quickly? Aren't they also talking about bringing back the Kelvin Timeline cast? So we'll have three Kirks living at once?

BE ORIGINAL!!!

Go ahead and tell me CBS/Paramount isn't over milking the same cow.

 

[Tuskin38]

In this shot, he doesn't appear to be wearing the Enterprise badge. It's possible they put him in the chair with the Enterprise badge just for the publicity photo

 

[BillJ]

Have fun, guys!

The show isn't on the air yet and already more interesting than Discovery on its best day.

The uniforms look good at least.

BE ORIGINAL!!!

There is no reward for originality now. Fandom has demanded Trek return to its roots and here we are. This is the interpretation.

Whelp, Kelvin Trek is my last hope.
