Probably in a story involving a love triangle, to the annoyance of some.
Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x09 - "All Those Who Wander"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Absolutely.
How many people did the Horta kill? How about the Salt Vampire?
Star Trek can have monsters, and our heroes can kill those monsters if they need to... but IMO Star Trek is at its best when there is some measure of reflection or remorse or an attempt at understanding along the way.
Perhaps TPTB are playing a longer game and we'll get that later... but as far as this episode is concerned the Gorn may as well have been xenomorphs or demidogs or raptors. They were disposable monsters to be mowed down indiscriminately. No thought need be given to the loss of their lives.
Even then he expressed remorse by the end.
I'm not suggesting that our heroes shouldn't kill when they need to- or even necessarily that it was wrong in this instance- but it would have been nice for ONE of these Starfleet officers to say, "Is there no alternative to killing them?"
Even if the answer to that question was "No."
Roger Korby has already been all but confirmed on twitter for the future. As for Leila Kalomi, I'm almost positive that if they remembered Korby then they have plans for her too.
Nope.
In your fanfiction he did. In star trek extended canon that relates to that scene from TNG. it was revealed to be Saavik.
But like I said, I rather buy a more single Spock as that fits well with the events of star trek 2009, Into Darkness and Beyond.
Maybe Sarak had a third son?
Also in TOS it wont be Chapel because she is by then a different person and spock showed zero interest. if we go by TOS, of all the women, I would have to give Uhura the edge over Chapel because the Kelvinverse movies showed a romance could work there and last unlike chapel or tpring that we know wont last.
The writers of that movie got hints from TOS for the kelvin films even if it was bread crumb hints because uhura was limited as a black women in the 60s to have any romance or love interest in any of the major white males.
Spock also had mutual flirting moments with Uhura that were very charming in a more mature way than Chapel crush that still very very high school, and remember this was them at a more older age in life compared to SNW that writes them as teens and horny young adults case in point Tpring always wanting to have sex and chapel wanting spock to kiss her so badly.
Geez, no wonder some people seem bored already with the spock/tpring/chapel triangle. it is high school stuff.
So bored we keep talking about it. So, no, not high school stuff
. Pretty standard romance stuff.

Oh, the TOS Gorn fight scene was set in slow motion. Then we can also think that Kirk had physically more powerful than normal human being. Oh NO! Kirk was actually a super human that he didn't realized / take a secret on it?
Very good ep, though I would have been happier without so many overt "references" to the movie Aliens. We get it, guys. Aliens and Newt and Hudson, oh my! 
That's a minor nitpick, I enjoyed it a lot.
Special shout out/thank you to the asswipe on YouTube who needlessly spoiled the ending of this episode for me. You're the best.

Well, I can see the episode discussion shit-show had started.

standard stuff is most high school that is why all those ya romance novel used to sell.
we should also be thankful this is star trek and not game of thrones because tpring is so horny that had this been game of thrones she will have invited chapel to share spock's bed wit them to explore the ''human sexuality''
SNW can brag about how much progress it made to the dated 60s but one thing is clear in season 1. the main goal for tpring and chapel is to get spock into their individual bed.
Christ.
Well, Gorn society can also work like the Dominion. This Gorn that we have encounter may just a biological weapon that invented and developed by the prime Gorn species. They may just the genetic engineering Gorn that made specially for combat. While the real Gorn / prime Gorn is a smart species that capable of making a spaceship and conduct a space travel. But they are slow and unsuited for combat.
Which is why I deal with it in adults?
Lol. Spock has been a sex symbol since the 70s. Nimoy recounts his experience with fan art of Spock in chains. This is not new.
I can think of a few I would delight in it annoying.
Spock:
...you mean this guy?
Or maybe...
...you mean this guy?

what trek show had long running love triangles? I cant remember because trek did really do that. the only love triangles I remember was star trek 2009 and TNG season 7 and i remember them because unlike what we have in snw they were not the status quo of what to expect in a love triangle.
in trek 2009, there was supposed to be a love triangle between kirk/spock/uhura but kirk never stood a chance in the first place and he backed off when he learned he never did.
in TNG they were building up one with Riker/Worf/Deena but Riker acted very mature about it. he even gave Worf his blessing to date Deena.
SNW love triangle is kind of very teeny booper and expected compared to those two examples.

Haven’t read any of the thread left, but I’ve tried to be frugal with “10’s” this season, but this episode absolutely gets a 10 for me.
And as a huge fan of the Alien franchise, this one just hit so perfectly.

And yet I see it in real life sometimes.
You can keep your sterile Trek. I'll take the dynamic characters that actually have lives outside the bridge.
