Strange New Worlds Season 2 Trailer

They really need to stop all the cutesy ways of saying engage the warp drive and just establish a standard order. Say, like, engage the warp drive. lol

From this board I have learned that modern Trek shows must adhere to the following rules:

1. No fun
2. No nostalgia
3. Anything that violates headcanon is bad
4. Everything must be spelled out explicitly otherwise we will have to create headcanon
5. Your favorite starship design sucks

If Starfleet can go through uniform changes every couple of months and on different ships don’t really see any issue with different Klingon outfits.

Even the TOS Movie Era had different Klingon uniforms. Remember the soft, padded ones from TUC that we never saw again in live action? Yep. The Empire may not change uniforms as often as Starfleet but they were different in ENT and they had changed by TOS only to become something entirely different by TMP.

Look at authoritarian regimes in real life. The Soviets didn't keep the same uniform design for all seven decades of their national existence.

I just don't know when Star Trek fans became so inflexible

Right around Enterprise I believe.

If you are enjoying it you are doing it wrong!

I'd place the inflexibility around the debut of TMP, if not the mid-70s. The more things change...

 

[cooleddie74]

Probably TAS.

I mean, talking cat lady on the bridge, personal force field belts, no Chekov in the cast. TMP ramped up the inflexibility but as early as 1973 TAS was doing things I'm sure many of the hardcore fans from the live action NBC run didn't like.

Star Trek needs its version of Grumpy Cat.

5. Your favorite starship design sucks

This is the most important rule!

 

[shyborg]

Star Trek needs its version of Grumpy Cat.

I thoughts Bones was it

Found my favorite and I laughed too hard at that channel:

 

[TRON JA307020]

I do like STSNW a lot. It's brought back the episodic format and has done that extremely well. What I am feeling is that as it gets closer to TOS they need to make one of two choices. Have it open to a replacement remake of TOS and weave it into current trek lore or make it a alternate reality. With the gorn, Singh and Kirk it's feeling less and less like it can fit into the TOS canon. So either make TOS no longer part of the canon except for the movies and just remake the original TV show to fit it in with everything else or make STSNW part of a separate STD alternate universe.

 

[Racefuel]

SNW was always intended to be episodic and a monster/mystery of the week format.

The overarching story axis is of course the fact that Pike knows he's going to end up in the chair, but that just adds a facet to his character.

Do we really have to do this again?

Option 3: TOS is not literal history.

My preferred option.

Just saying.

 

[Captain Jollydark]

Here's something else for people to praise or get pissed off about, according to their wont...

I like it. It reminds me a little of the STD Klingon wardrobe, as well.

That is beautiful! It gives me goosebumps. I just love the Disco and SNW costume designers!

 

[Captain Jollydark]

Right around Enterprise I believe.

I wanted to love Enterprise so so much, but the theme song put me off immediately, and then I was terribly disappointed that we still had to have the sexy (but unemotional) woman sewn into a catsuit (who also, predictably goes into pon far and runs around in her underwear). And then the puerile semi-naked sweaty applications of decontamination goo scenes. Like they were trying too hard to appeal to one specific very narrow demographic on the assumption those were the only people who'd watch it. But I have seen a few of the recommended episodes. Which were pretty good Trek.

 

[cooleddie74]

ENT was pretty great Trek when it wasn't lazily recycling a VOY or TNG episode but this time in a new century and setting or when they decided it was Sweeps Week time and that meant Jolene had to slip into her decon underwear and shirt for a "titillating encounter with a favorite male lead." Berman kept Trek alive for almost 20 years but damn, was he a horny and thick-headed bastard.
