Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[DaveyNY]

I don't believe that I'm bitter, at not becoming a writer. I'm just really upset that Hollywood refuses to create entertainment to entertain. And instead prefers to make shitty, petty and vindictive bullshit, to lecture people about how bad they are, for liking what they like, for being normal. That sort of entertainment isn't. The only people who 'enjoy' that sort of crap; are evil and/or mentally ill.

I've often wondered why I am so completely mentally deranged.

Obviously it's because I've been watching and enjoying Star Trek shows since 1966.

Ooooooh...you're one of those

Might be my imagination, but has some of the music taken on a TOS quality?

I honestly thought the music had a TOS quality since S1. It seemed particularly prevalent in The Elysium Kingdom.

Irony.

 

[T'Bonz]

All right guys, enough of the baiting. You're here to talk about SNW.

 

[Verteron]

Pike and Batel are drinking Chateau Picard.

And it's a screwtop. Which lends credence to the increasingly widely held view that Chateau Picard is actually a pretty terrible "sour mead".

Pike doesn't drink synthehol?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Pike doesn't drink synthehol?

Do they have synthehol in the 23rd?

 

[cooleddie74]

Nope. Except for a food synthesizer in one episode of DSC that does but that was just a continuity error.

Or just one of the ripple effects of the new "close enough" continuity, in which case asking why Pike is not drinking synthehol instead of the real alcohol that can impair him is a valid question

 

[fireproof78]

Alcohol used responsibly is a non-issue.

I’m sure Pike drinks in moderation no matter what has rippled through time. But probably doesn’t drink Ripple.

 

[DaveyNY]

OMG
Basement brewed Ripple has knocked me on my butt on more than one occasion.

 

[cooleddie74]

Fred Sanford can even drink Ripple that's gone flat. Flapple.

Flapple is Boone's Farm.

Flipple is Fred's preferred brew.

No.

 

[Paul755]

No.

Well…not until they decide they want to introduce on SNW anyway.

“Scotty didn’t know about synthehol because his brain was scrambled from the transporter” or something.

 

[Yistaan]

SCOTT: What in blazes is this?
WAITER: Didn't you order Scotch?
SCOTT: Laddie, I was drinking Scotch a hundred years before you were born and I can tell you that whatever this is, it is definitely not Scotch.
DATA: I believe I may be of some assistance. Captain Scott is unaware of the existence of synthehol.
SCOTT: Synthehol?
DATA: Yes, sir. It is an alcohol substitute now being served aboard starships. It simulates the appearance, taste and smell of alcohol, but the intoxicating affects can be easily dismissed.

Per the above, Data assumes that Scott doesn't know about synthehol yet it's established as being in Discovery's 23rd century replicator. We could just say Data was wrong and Scott's "Synthehol?" isn't lack of recognition but his astonishment that he was given it when he didn't ask for it.

DSC made the error, not "Relics(TNG)."
