Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[Belz...]

I don't want them to have moments though, I want them to have episodes.

But why, though? Take Riker, for instance. He has very few episodes focused on himself but he became one of my favourite characters because he grew as part of the story and his interactions with the other members of the crew.

No, TOS definitely pulled off having a strong focus on three core characters. I've been watching it simultaneously with Enterprise and Discovery and I've never thought 'man I wish they'd give Sulu or Scotty something to do' like I did with Reed or Hoshi, or Detmer and Owosekun.

That's probably because ENT did like TNG and DS9 and made a point of introducing each character like they were important, only to focus on a few of them and give Hoshi and Mayweather the cold treatment. TOS didn't make the first mistake so it doesn't quite feel like a missed opportunity.

I want to see the focus on Pike, Una, and Spock. If one or two of the others work out well enough to devote substantial time to, well, swell.

This business of Trek creating crowd scenes and then treating everyone as equally important is a drag. That's why they jettison it in the movies.

Same here. I don't imagine that the secondary characters will get as much screen time as expected, and many will likely be disappointed that their favorite is not highlighted more.

The episode descriptions make I sound like each character will get their own focus story

 

[mswood]

Fascinating.


There are generally quite a lot of ressources on that topic. :P

Seriously in the early days of Trek late 60's early 70's, Spock was often mis identified by the public as Dr. Spock. Because that book was "HUGE"....

Dax's first outing wasn't great

Wonder how long it will be before Dax turns up on SNW. #AskingForAFriend

And which Dax it will be.

Crewman Dax, obviously.

Ha ha.

srsly, do we even know which Dax host is 'current' as of 2259?

Emony knew Dr. McCoy (biblically ) but that was about 2245. So it could be her, or it could be Audrid.

 

[SJGardner]

Crewman Dax, obviously.

Poor guy, staying a crewman for a whole 30+ years. If I were him, I'd really start reconsidering my choice of career at that point.

All Starfleet personnel are officers.

Sorry, wrong thread.

 

[F. King Daniel]

I'm surprised Star Trek fans can even wipe their ass, since toilet paper has never been featured in On Screen Canon...

Post of the Week.

 

[Belz...]

Reading the thread's beginning...

My preference is for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds... so it definitely won't be that.

Did... did you know when you posted this??? :O

 

[Belz...]

Huh... funny how CaptainXaviOfEarth never came back after his BS claim for the series title was proven wrong.

Star Trek Enterprise is the best name though.

Wait, it’s not called Star Trek: Enterprise??!!

‪‪I don’t know. CXoE had inside info (that was only going to be shared with mods and tie-in authors), so I don’t see how that’s possible.

 

[Tuskin38]

Like you said, Either Emony or Audrid.
There's no canon information of when Emony died.

Obviously, it's a conspiracy.

 

[cooleddie74]

His info was so inside he got sucked into the void and hasn't returned.

 

[The Wormhole]

Actually, he did:

I'm not above saying when I was wrong, and I was here. I've done it before regarding Picard. The show is still filed as "Star Trek: Enterprise" on its production file, but that is clearly a working title, and "Strange New Worlds" is of course now confirmed as the series title. In almost all other cases, the working title is never the actual title. Here that was not the case. I was wrong and expect to be clapped back appropriately.

I was spectacularly wrong with the series title, and will own that failure. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/news-stories-from-dubious-sources.300649/page-12#post-13393128

Small potatoes. He was wrong about everything else he posted about anyway, most of which he really hasn't been back since he was proven wrong about it.

 

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

Obviously, it's a conspiracy.

Obviously CBS named the show Strange New Worlds just to discredit Xavi!!!!! Well played, CBS, well played.
