Thanks. I just glitched on that.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x01 - "Hegemony, Part II"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Slowly digested over a thousand years is not accurate to begin with.
And I'm glad Star Wars didn't handle it "accurately" because that's one of the best Fett stories.
I was under the impression that her hand was half digested, and it looked like M'Benga used a regenerator to partially restore her hand, but didn't have time to finish.
Honestly, I am getting tired of Spock's emotions. Yes, he's half human, but he spent his TOS life trying to be Vulcan and hiding his emotions. When do we get Vulcan Spock? And there's too much attention on the Spock and Chapel relationship. But maybe this diatribe should be in the Wedding Bell Blues thread...

Well! That was fun. I liked seeing Una and Uhura work together on Gorn cycles. Really liked the B story with Spock and Chapel trying to save Batel. I was actually afraid they were going to kill Ortegas! Good teamwork on the bridge and with Pelia and Scotty. A satisfying part two overall.
Then watch TOS (but skip Where No Man Has Gone Before, Spock is still emotional there)

Am I not allowed to have my own opinion and have comments on portions of the show?
I never said you couldn’t
But this is a prequel, don’t expect the characters to behave exactly the same as they did in TOS. We’re still 4 years out in-universe
Heck, five years for some of them. But we're still four years away from the events of "Where No Man Has Gone Before(TOS)," and Kirk in the second TOS pilot is still not the Kirk we know by the end of the third season.
I don't think length of time makes a difference really. We know Kirk has some major trauma ahead with Carol Marcus ghosting him.
You could say that Anakin Skywalker at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith is nowhere near the person he is at the end of the movie, and the in-universe timeframe is weeks at most. It's the events that change the character moreso than the length of time.
Wouldn't this have happened already, given David's age? He would be in his 20's at the time of TWOK at least.
Just working it out in my head, anyway.
Which is all the more reason why people complaining that SNW Spock doesn't behave like TOS Spock is a very ludicrous argument. Not only do they tend to forget we're still a handful of years away from the start of TOS but Pilot Era Spock was more shouty and prone to emotional outbursts and more human behavior.
And Christine walking away from him to have a relationship with Roger Korby can't help when it comes to how Spock is going to change in the coming years. Some people in real life change beyond recognition due to life events that aren't even as traumatic as the love of one's life abandoning a romantic relationship. Leila Kalomi is still in Spock's immediate future, and that's another experiment in love that will fail.

I agree. Even in "Where No Man Has Gone Before", "The Corbomite Maneuver" and "Mudd's Women", Spock showed some human tendencies (shouting, smiling, sly glance with a grin at Kirk when the women entered Kirk's cabin)
It seems more a projection of thinking of what Spock evolved into as opposed to actually remembering how he actually was early on in TOS. Wasn't Leila lamenting how emotionless Spock became before the spores affected him?
Unless Carol dumped Kirk in the 3 month timejump in Season 3, there's been no time since the episode where he told La'an he was still with Carol
Solid entry overall, on the basis of what we've seen from this show.
Not much else to say about it without rehashing old gripes about the Gorn and how they've been turned into xenomorphs on this show. And the gripes about having too many TOS characters showing up in Pike's show. Why do we need young Scotty when Ortegas can't even get an episode focused on her? Stuff like that. Anyway, SNW is back and is still the best thing currently going that we're calling Trek.

Pretty sure we will this season
Usually a couple of hundred would take a few minutes to beam up.
And where, exactly, was this established? Or are you making things up again?
There have been a few episode of Trek with them trying to beam up large numbers. They can't do it all at once and hence they do it in groups.
So all I learned from this episode was that Cestus III was all Pike's fault.
