Star Trek was always left and woke. Besides Star Trek got way better when Gene got kicked upstairs.Holy shit! This looks So Fucking Awesome! SQUEEEE!!!!
Oh, sorry. Forgot where I was. What I meant to post is this is clearly Anti-Canon, it doesn't respect Gene and is blatantly left wing and woke. Star Trek as we knew it is dead.
Season 3 First Look
- Thread starter Precious Tritium
- Start date
Do people often profess deep total love for barely an acquaintance?
Exactly.
Not really sure how this would make a difference in an episode script. Contemporary Trek tech would solve any such dilemma before it could become a dramatically-viable plot line.
They could fool somebody with tech workarounds.
Nope. They actively hate it and all is fans too. They burn us in effigy before each production meeting.
Chapel was not a character. She was a stand in.
Did you not watch TOS? She's confessing her love while under the influence. She's serving him soup. ( which he's agreeable to on the second go round) She's holding his Katra.
Hey, wait, so that's something she and McCoy have in common. I wonder if they ever compared notes on their experiences.
Yeah. When I saw that episide for the first time where chapel is giving spock soup I was thinking "yup. They had a relationship and had relations. Its so obvious". I thought that even after he threw it at her. Lol
It was response to the claim were they barely acquaintances. All the regular characters on TOS were presented as being friends.
"So, you got a new way to piss off the fans today?"
"Yes sir, I do. I figure we release the trailer for SNW today, and show that scene with the TNG holodeck grid in it today. That'll really rile the fans up as they take it out of context."
"Oh, riled up fans taking things out of context are tight!"
They seem more like work friends in TOS with Chapel having a crush on him. Spock always letting her know he can't reciprocate. A prequel back story with them having a very close friendship and huge relationship doesnt really gel. Unless Chapel asks Spock to mind meld her to forget their relationship and Spock purges more emotion before kirk takes charge of the enterprise I dont see how this works.
There are still 5 or 6 years to go. If we have skipped forward to 2261 then we're in the same year that Chapel will decide to marry Roger Korby aren't we?
It will certainly be interesting to see what changes her mind so suddenly. They'd set up the break up and her joining studying at the fellowship, I wonder why the writers chose to reignite the relationship with it on borrowed time.

That's one of the things I don't like about SNW: the Spock/Chapel relationship. It doesn't feel like Spock to me. However, Chapel herself is a big upgrade from that meek lovesick side character from TOS. Overall the female characters are a big upgrade in this show from the original
Don't really think it's "the best thing", but it's certainly an nice addition that adds a lot of context to the little bit we saw in TOS between the two of them.
Not sure what I would say is the best thing, cause overall SNW is a pretty great.
It's the prop design.
