I’d pay extra to see that.
was she ever a realistic dating option, though? As far as I remember she was interested in Spock but he never reciprocate.
I guess we'll find out on Strange New Worlds! If the showrunners know about Roger Korby (and they confirmed they do), then they definitely know about Leila.
Goldsman’s a fan from way back, like 60s and 70s way back. He knows.
They don't. They hate TOS, obviously.
the show runners have already confirmed roger koby will show up. not to mention he was chapel fiancé and the whole reason why she joined the enterprise was to search for him, which in SNW fits well because in SNW she is not a member of Starfleet. so i think they have set up chapel's arc well. the only main issue will be how far will they take her romantic relationship with spock where it will feel like too much of a retcon.
I think Spock at this point is curious like every man, who gets curious when a beautiful and decent young woman like chapel likes him and has made it clear, spock at a young age has every right to explore that , but that is the whole point of this type of stuff. it is explored and it ends and he movies on with Leia and chapel with roger.
that been said, I think it is a lot easier to ingore Leia, than Koby because Koby is a major plot point for chapel, whereas Leia was a stand alone plot point.
That all sound quite lovely.
Doubtful it will happen but it doesn't change the ongoing sarcastic opinion of mine about the showrunners hating TOS. Next time I'll add a
so as it is not taken too seriously.
Oh, someone tell me if I missed something, but that moment where Spock had to go with his gut and choose one of two targets to fire at... was there any reason why he couldn't just shoot both? Two torpedoes in different directions or two phaser turrets? Or shoot one and then the other? I was tired when I watched it and had to back it up once or twice.

Because if they triggered the wrong power source, the whole net would collapse in on them and they'd go boom, so Spock had to "guess" which high powered emitter was the correct one. It's kind of the equivalent of "it's either the red wire or the blue wire, one of them will stop the bomb, the other will cause detonation," but with asteroids.
Okay thanks, I figured I had to have missed something. I'm getting too old for this....
Starfleet ships of this era only seem to be able to target one thing at a time (somebody correct me if I'm remembering wrong). So maybe shooting both asteroids simultaneously wasn't an option. But if they shot both in rapid succession, and the first one was the wrong one, maybe that chain reaction would happen so fast that shooting the correct one wouldn't stop it, no matter how quickly they did it.
And Sybok... Not a character I ever wanted to see again, particularly. But I wonder how the character will develop. Maybe he's some kind of political zealot who wants all Vulcans to get dispense with their rigid logic. And how he goes about is bad enough that he is branded a criminal and kept in the 'rehabilitation center.' It would be interesting if his religious quest in STV was like some kind of "born again" thing that changed what kind of zealot he was.

Upon rewatching, I got the feeling that it wouldn't have mattered which one Spock chose with the way that Angel was telling him just to choose one.
In hindsight, I wonder if it could have been part of Angel's setup. We only had her word that the laser net "wasn't set by the Serene Squall." To what end, though? To delay the Enterprise from reaching the colonial ship or Serene Squall before they were ready? Or as a challenge/motivation for the Enterprise to keep going deeper into Non-Federation space?

I'd buy that for a dollar!
Complaint deleted. I took him literally. Should have known better.
