You got to love Bendii syndrome it carefully avoids running afoul of Starfleet mandates forbidding mentioning classified people.
Something else that needs to happen, re Spock
- Thread starter FredH
- Start date
Well, if a mind meld can make Kirk forget that robot woman, why not this for Michael?
Thanks to AI, all of these little oversights on previous Trek shows can be fixed by audio engineers in future releases of the old shows:
- Sarek will remember Michael in his dotage;
- The Eugenics Wars will be correctly referenced in "Space Seed" as occurring in the 21st century;
- And Kirk's crew will no longer appear mystified by the appearance of a known alien predatory species called the Gorn in "Arena."
As such, it's not forbidden to mention Discovery crew. If that were true, SNW could not have had a shuttlecraft called Stamets.
As far as the official record is concerned, DSC crew were killed in action. It's permitted to mention them in the past tense. So, for example, Spock could talk about Michael Burnham, but he would have to say that she died in the line of duty.
Thanks, I was gonna point that out myself.
She was about 10 years younger than McCoy so it's unlikely she was still alive by TNG but they could have been married after STVI and still had 30 or 40 years together.
I suspect if she does dump him, she is going to do it for his own good.
2AU in diameter?
Yeah, you've gotten things confused. The reference to Picard attending the wedding of "Sarek's son" was not in Unification but rather in the episode Sarek. Indeed, here's the transcript from Sarek to prove it, and here's the quote in question:It's been suggested that the only reason PIcard didn't mention Spock by name was so that Spock's actual appearance at the end of the episode would remain a surprise. I'm down with that.
There was no attempt to avoid mentioning Spock in Part 1 of Unification in order to make his appearance at the end a surprise. Spock is mentioned quite often by name throughout the entire episode, to say nothing of the fact that the episode starts off with footage of Spock on Romulus and Leonard Nimoy is listed in the episode's opening guest credits. Take into account the heavy promotion that went into the episode revealing Spock's appearance and no one was surprised when Spock showed up at the end.
Wouldn't be the first time.
srsly, thanks for setting me straight.
As for Roger Korby: AFAIK, the SNW people DO have a plan for him. It'll be interesting to see how things play out.
I wonder if this will be the next upgrade for TOS? I would love to see the CGI upgraded again in line with SNW as well, including bringing the uniforms and the bridge more in line with what we see in SNW. I don't know how much of a market there is for this, though. It would be a fun experiment for a few essential episodes at least.
We're at 2 seasons per in-universe year (Season 2 is still 2259 per dialogue referencing the Rigel mission). At this rate, it will be another 10 years before we're anywhere near 2265, and I doubt SNW will run that long (the longest Trek shows topped out at 7 seasons, albeit season lengths were much longer then)
Solo shot first.
Who?
But we can still keep writing books about them, right?
Well, in the books they're the same characters straight through - right?
