Post production must take a while.

 

[Firebird]

Eh, even at one year it's an improvement over the gaps most streaming shows have between seasons.

Hell, season 3 of The Orville started production in 2019 and didn't release until 2022 (yes, partially due to a yearlong Covid shutdown). Season 4 is likely going to have a longer gap as well, with production starting in January and probably not airing until 2026. That's ten years to make just four seasons of a show.

 

[Frontis]

Do you think the show could benefit from 5 more episodes a season?

Personally I think the current count hits fine, just wish there was a little more filler. I'm in love with the cast.

Yes, ten episodes is too less for me.

 

[Yistaan]

So is Sybok ever showing up in this? Did ST5 conclusively say that Uhura and Scotty had never heard of or met Sybok before? Because if so they both have to be sidelined if Sybok shows up.

It would be useful if, at the very least, most of the main legacy characters never learn he's Spock's brother if they encounter him in the show. It would stretch credibility to think that neither would mention it before they launched the rescue mission on Nimbus III. They would all have seen the hostage tape, after all.

Continuity isn't that important.

Not even some continuity?

 

[Mudd]

Well, worrying over the details of a thirty-some year-old movie with a plot shot through with bad logic certainly is some continuity.

Fans raised hell about continuity issues when they saw that one, I can tell you that.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I can picture some drama being created by T'Pring, Sybok and Spock being in the same room.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

I can picture some drama being created by T'Pol, Sybok and Spock being in the same room.

T'Pol? *head exploding*

 

[fireproof78]

T'Pol? *head exploding*

As the children of the Ambassador from Vulcan they might have interacted.

 

[Nerys Myk]

T'Pol? *head exploding*

wow. I suck as a fanboy. Take my nerd card

I could see Spock telling Christine seeing as she's not present during Star Trek V.

Leave Sybok in whatever asylum/rehab facility where we saw the back of his head. He was an annoying character in a bad film. I'm good with consigning him to the canon dust heap.

 

[cooleddie74]

I do want to see an elderly T'Pol in SNW, though.

 

[Daedalus]

It's been 104 years....

Crazy to think this is what she'd look like around the time of The Cage. If they could lure Jolene back, I bet she'd look a bit younger.

 

[cooleddie74]

And 2025 TV makeup would probably be a tad bit better and more "organic" than 2004 TV makeup.

Nah, there is still a story to be told there.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Sybok and especially Luckinbill's performance of him were two of the best things in STV, hands down the worst TOS film. Luckinbill set the bar rather high. But more Sybok? I'm ready.

 

[Jack Wolfe]

Nah, there is still a story to be told there.

If only it was an interesting one. Hopefully, if the character is used, they will keep it contained to one episode and not a season-long arc.
