Looks more like Doohan than Pegg and he's actually a Scot.
Season 3 First Look
- Thread starter Precious Tritium
- Start date
And...you knowHeh ... Scotty probably ages faster from now to TOS because he's constantly worrying about his beautiful bairns.
Don't I know it....And...you know
Exactly so. This one series is the spiritual successor of the original.
I read this a lot and no, that's a load of tribble droppings. Y'all may wanna revisit it. This is not like the original series, even on Gene Coon's most unchaperoned weeks in charge. They had a handful of lighter episodes and a couple of all out comedies and a generous helping of weirdness, but they didn't pull the crew into this sort of thing on a regular and hype it as the main draw.
If you like this kinda Star Trek, great, enjoy it. But the original series was rarely self consciously over the top and campy. The passage of time and evolving styles made it that way to some people, but show me the musical episode of TOS, or the one where they look like the came out of an old movie.
"A Piece of the Action" and "Shore Leave" were never Star Trek's main selling points or greatest strengths.
SNW started out with great promise, but this is becoming more like a Doctor Who type show, with it's tongue firmly lodged in its cheek, wrapped up in its own cleverness. No thank you, I think I'll pass on further adventures of this version of the Enterprise.
Jörg thinks the sign behind the (possible) Edosian says United Federation of Planets Centennial
Which if accurate, would place the season in 2261

Which does line up with it being 2 years after Season 1, which was in 2259

It seems we're going to experience the United Federation of Planets Centennial in #StarTrekSNW season 3, so it must be set in 2261! :-) Oh, is that an Edosian barkeeper? :-)

Centenary could be the word behind her. But that would mean a timeskip as both seasons are set in 2259.
when was a date given in Season 2?
Season 1 AFAIK is the only one to give a date.
Why wouldn't he be? He's a reoccurring character.
Looks more like an homage than a parody.
Absolutely. Despite the claims of some, nothing is being contradicted or overwritten. Context is being added, that's all.
I just feel like he shouldn't. The show is supposed to be about Pike and his adventures. I just feel having Kirk takes away from that.
Seems to working out okay. He pops up for two or three episodes. They've all been good episodes.
I do, frequently. TOS is my favourite series. Has been for almost 40 years.
Sure it is.
Well, no. TOS was very much the Kirk, Spock and McCoy show, while SNW is much more an ensemble. That said, the trio were certainly put through some pretty unique situations.
Thanks, I will.
Sure it was. I'll give you that SNW is certainly more condensed, but that's just a reality of modern TV.
It always seems to come back the musical. I don't understand it. At its core, it was a pretty standard anomaly of the week episode. Not any more hard to believe than a dozens of previous episodes from older series.
Sure they were. They were part of the fun of TOS. As mentioned my others, that was one of the things that made Trek great. It's ability to pivot from episode to episode.
Yes it did. It also continues to be great.
The "previous Trek had bad stuff too" argument never made sense. Do people really want more Spock's Brain, Children Shall Lead, Shore Leave, Way to Eden? (If Wishes Were Horses, Storyteller, The Fight also come to mind)

Well, there's "The Way to Eden" and "A Piece of the Action"/"Patterns of Force"/"Bread and Circuses". And there certainly were big musical numbers in the middle of "Charlie X" and "The Conscience of the King."
Before you say, but "The Way to Eden" was not a musical episode because they were performing to the crew in-universe, not so fast. "Headin' Out to Eden" is not being performed to the crew, there's no in-universe reason for the performance, except to express the inner thoughts of the space hippies. Expressing the inner thoughts of the singer is one of the various essential purposes of songs in musicals. Yeah, yeah, they sang at pretty much every occasion.
IIRC Rigel mission in 2254 was referred to as 5 years ago. The Klingon war that ended in 2257 was said to be 2 years ago. And Im sure Uhura mentions that everything thats happened to her on the Enterprise was all "this year"
I could be wrong but Im sure the season dated itself as 2259.
