I wish! It just seems so much simpler.Someone should have told the writers starting in the 60s.

That's where we must grudgingly acknowledge that this was a TV show from the 1960's. OW! IT BURNS!There's not enough "maybe the records were lost" rationalization wiggle room in the world to make that fit with this.
This. All of this. It's two days later and I'm not getting over it. This is the bar to clear for the season for me. Good luck.Dang. I expected a light romp with a dash of fanwank. I did not expect to have my heart broken. That last scene with Chong is just 11/10. Acted the hell out of that scene.
I hadn't considered it that way. Wow. Pay attention Balok!Oh, I also loved that Kirk died because -- for once -- somebody called his bluff!![]()
Did it. Khan is 5th result down. Khan Academy has more presence.I'm pretty sure a simple google search will get them up to speed.
And the name Khan, is almost synonymous with Kirk and Spock.
I see it this way;
Enterprise-TOS-TNG (and movies 1-10)-DS9-VOY-Picard = OG Trek Timeline
Discovery-SNW-Lower Decks = Nu Trek Timeline
Star Trek 2009-Beyond = Kelvin Timeline
If we ever get Star Trek Legacy, I'm confident Matalas and Drexler (based on their comments) will utilize the 60s designs for any throwbacks. Like the USS New Jersey.
SNW being an alternate timeline from TOS, but still following the same story beats is the best of both worlds.
I've said it before, if SNW was a full-on reboot and marketed as such, the current regime would have probably genderbent half the TOS characters and completely moved away from the 60s influence. I think that would have been very divisive.
Having SNW follow canon to an extent, keeps the producers and writers in line from departing too radically from the source material.
Season 3.OK. When do we get our Ortegas episode?
Roddenberry felt otherwise.I wish! It just seems so much simpler.
How does that work? Lower Decks is built on referencing events from Enterprise to Voyager as if they happened in their past. We've had characters from those shows show up in Lower Decks.Discovery-SNW-Lower Decks = Nu Trek Timeline
Some general observations:
Needless to say, I was fascinated by this episode, and not just because of the Khan connection. I’m a sucker for stories where Star Trek heroes visit “our” time: “Tomorrow is Yesterday,” “Assignment: Earth,” the whale movie, etc.
One twist I didn’t see coming because it subverted expectations: the twist that our friendly 21st century ally, “Sarah,” was actually the bad guy. I assumed that she was just the latest variation on Roberta Lincoln, Gillian Taylor, and Rain Robinson, so that big reveal completely caught me offguard — which was probably the idea.
Oh, I also loved that Kirk died because -- for once -- somebody called his bluff!![]()
FTC sues Amazon, alleging it tricked consumers into signing up for Prime
https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/21/business/ftc-sue-amazon-prime/index.html
FTC: Why your honor, just recently Amazon released the third episode of season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds a whole 2 days earlier, only on Prime, than honest paying customers of Paramount Prime's standalone subscription service, showing yet another shady, under-handed tactic to recruit Prime customers even at this late date.
Judge: BBEEEEZZZZOOOOOSSSS!!!!!![]()

Lower Decks uses the TAS visuals when showing stuff from the 23rd century.
Nah, it's way easier to believe everything is the same timeline.Notice I didn't mention TAS.
Lower Decks is also an exaggerated version of...everything. Characters acting like over-the-top silly versions of themselves (Riker for example). It can easily be a spoof told from an unreliable narrator (Mariner), and we can't take those events as representations of what happened in the OG Trek Timeline.
It doesn't have to particularly fit into the OG Trek Timeline. We'll see if any future 25th century series, Legacy or whatever is coming, will reference it.
Being that as it may, she could well have ended up back on Pike's ship with no one knowing who she was or where she came from.The device protected her from any changes

Seriously? You don't put a big red car and have your camera shots highlight it over your actors unless you're doing product placement.
IF it does happen, it's not going to be Kurtzman Trek that does it.Not necessarily. There's a precedence for multiple Trek timelines with the Kelvin-verse.
This Eugenics War plot-point certainly opens the doors for some possibilities. We'll see if any future showrunners make use of it.
