I would pay real money for SNW to not touch ANY sort of time travel with a ten foot pole

Too late, we already know there's going to be at least one time travel story.

It's an episodic series though, so any time travel story will be confined to a single episode.

 

[gvn2fly]

agreed but even in TOS, they had several Time travel adventures.

Yea, but that was the first. Since then multiple movies and all the shows (except lower decks at this point) have had some kind of time travel. It's like time travel is so commonplace that every Starfleet crew will travel back in time (and always on Earth) multiple times. Disco/Prodigy are the two that haven't had the back on earth time travel plot but have had time travel.

 

[Belz...]

I'm thinking it will have the core elements of the TOS theme, with some flourishes around it.

I'd give real money for the TOS monologue to be part of the opening titles.

I'm hoping for that to be there, or maybe said at the end of the first episode, since Pike seems to hint at it when he's saying what their mission will be.

 

[fireproof78]

After getting 9/10 of the way through S2 of Picard, I've had a realization of sorts:

I would pay real money for SNW to not touch ANY sort of time travel with a ten foot pole. Let's get back to being Star Trek rather than Time Trek.

So, not TOS?

Also, as much as I loathe time travel it isn't leaving Trek anytime soon (no pun intended)

The Discovery character Paul Stamets already has a Shuttle named after him less than a year after his 23rd century "death'?

Certainly seems like a possibility. Done after death. There would be a literally crap load of shuttles in the Federation it would be one small memorial for the recently awarded Starfleet officer after his unexpected death. I would expect many of them to get such honors, and at such a rather low level in rather quick turn. Now if it was a starship, or a school or university I would expect a much longer period not to mention if the process of determining if his contribution meet the criteria for much larger recognition. But a shuttle, seems very possible.

I agree. However, I was always curious that Copernicus and Galileo were only names on shuttlecraft and never made it to names of starships, given their stature.

 

[cooleddie74]

There actually are at least two Federation starships named U.S.S. Copernicus in the franchise, one in Star Trek IV and the other in TNG Season 1. They're background or peripheral starships but they're shown.

I didn't realize that! Thank you for the correction!

Wait, I should say, "About damned time they did that!"

There's a new sneak peek as well...

Got a bit of the brooding Pike we saw in The Cage. I like it. Also love the shot of the approach to Spacedock. Like the short short version of the TMP Spacedock scene(s).

 

[NCC-73515]

they keep teasing the TOS theme in all this footage, I really wonder if the SNW theme will just be the TOS theme, or a slight varation of

I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the music we hear in the sneak peek

 

[mattman8907]

So this may sound silly but I wouldn't mind them doing a mirror universe episode of this crew. Think Enterprise's "In a Mirror, Darkly", set completely in the mirror universe with no appearances by the Prime timeline crew. It can be just a one-off.

 

[Belz...]

I'm still bummed that they never did one for TNG.
Fortunately there's the comic book "Mirror Broken" which is very nice. It's entirely set in the mirror universe with Picard and co.

 

[137th Gebirg]

There’s also the excellent “Dark Mirror” novel by Diane Duane.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Eh, I wish they’d leave the MU alone. It was good as a one off in TOS but it’s been diminishing returns since then.

 

[fireproof78]

MU is amazing. Give me a season there, especially with Discovery style.

DS9's foray was a major misstep.

Agreed.

 

[Paul755]

DS9's foray was a major misstep.

the latter few episodes sure. I mean “Emperors New Cloak” might be one of the worst DS9 episodes period. But the first few episode were good.

 

[cooleddie74]

1. TOS
2. ENT
3. DS9's first two MU episodes
4. Everything else
