So things can bleed through and we can still see the original.
Season 3 First Look
- Thread starter Precious Tritium
- Start date
But what is to be gained? He is not a memberberry, he generates no nostalgia, he does not serve Vaal!
A totally original character that doesn't have some pre-existing tie to one of the main cast?
I can buy that; obviously certain key points are maintained, but its pretty clear that this is a different animal.
You are not of the body.

Landru vs Vaal!!!!
Who said that "Shore Leave" and "A Piece of the Action" and such were "bad"? I love "Shore Leave" and quite enjoy "A Piece of the Action" as well. (The fizzbin bit is sublime.)
Light-hearted, whimsical, and/or offbeat are not the same as "bad." One of the things I love about TOS was how just how weird and fantastic it could get: Apollo's giant green hand, the restless spirit of Jack the Ripper, the Halloween episode, Abraham Lincoln floating in space, etc. And I love that SNW seems to be embracing that aspect of TOS, alongside more "realistic" down-to-Earth episodes.
As I've often stated, one of Trek's great strengths is that the format is broad enough to accomodate lots of different kinds of storytelling: morality plays, topical allegories, thrilling space adventures, courtroom dramas, murder mysteries, war stories, spy stories, trippy SF concepts, tragic romances, even the occasional out-and-out farce. It's like the Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, but with continuing characters.
The way I see it, that's a feature, not a bug.

10,000 quatloos on Vaal. Contest by multiple elimination.
I can match that in spikan flame gems.
Exactly. Trying to make it be "one thing" ignores the whole reason why SF was chosen as the format in the first place. It was designed to be extremely variable and allow for a wide variety of stories to be told at the time, centered on people, not tech.
I have not mentioned Piece of the Action
The rabbit in Shore Leave is what this trailer reminds me of.
Out of the things you listed, the trailer only shows maybe 3. Shouldn't these variations get only 1, maybe 2 episodes each out of 10, instead of half the episodes? That would give the other 7 a chance too. A few silly episodes are fine in longer seasons, but when there are only 10 eps, they shouldn't be the majority. That's all I'm saying.
WTF did I just watch? ENT bungled with established canon, ST
did more and now SNW is going the same route even more. After the Avengers
oomsday cast reveal debacle, and now this trailer, everyone can be sure that Hollywood is out of ideas completely.At this point just get ChatGPT to print out scripts, those will be better.

Grok is writing me scripts of famous sci fi movies translated into TOS episodes, and because I was talking to it about Gary Mitchell earlier, its setting them all in Year Zero with the rest of the pilot crew. Much more entertainment for me than this trailer provided.
Yeah, the short movie of Kirk going to the Kelvin Timeline to meet up with Spock one last time got better reaction than the entire last decade of Kurtzman Trek, that oughtta say something.
3 in a row bungling the timeline? Guess the timeline got rewritten. Maybe there was, i don't know.... some kind of time travel that could have reset everything? Maybe right before all the changes happened? I don't know..... :PWTF did I just watch? ENT bungled with established canon, ST

I wonder who's going to be in Dr. Fraiser's shoes for that one...
yeah, i was talking to it about the Colt comics, and the gary mitchell appearance at the beginning, because there aren't a lot of great summaries on line. That led me to asking about Star Trek planet of the apes crossover, and then the inspiration to have it write the original movie as a Trek episode. Great stuff.
Yeah, Star Trek's never done fun dress up episodes before. Nothing with gangsters, baseball players, Robin Hood, a 1960s casino, 1800s sailors, or an Irish countryside. Nope, never.
Swear some of you would only be happy if Trek episodes were about emotionless aliens in bad makeup and forehead prosthetics being taught the human meaning of love.
