Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x06 - "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail"

[Jayson1]

The ship was eaten by a evil space monster ship and lived to tell the tale. Seems like a tough ship to me.

 

[Jedi Marso]

I'm not. I'm tired of the main ship being able to beat everything.

We never did get to see how it would have played out if the TOS Enterprise took on the full size Fesarius from the First Federation. Balok was a chess master like Kirk.

 

[Mr Awe]

They marketed it as the cage being a pilot and snw taking 58 years to become a series. So yeah it was supposed to be a series about Pike and his crew exploring strange new worlds not being a slow burn getting Kirk and his crew together.

I do wish they would've held off on that aspect until later in SNW's run.

Right. Why not wait until the last season? Let pike have his time to really shine. Also kirks first command mission really stank. He killed 7k humans. Maybe not on purpose but he knew there were lifeforms on that ship and didnt care until he found out they were human. Thats pretty cold.

 

[Finn]

Luke killed more than that....

 

[Tuskin38]

Maybe not on purpose but he knew there were lifeforms on that ship and didnt care until he found out they were human.

He asked if they could beam the survivors aboard before Spock even told him they were Human. So he did care before he found out.

The Captain has an unusual Vulcan hairstyle

Sooo it turns out when Kirk became (acting) Captain, Spock and Uhura were already with him... not sure if I like it or not :/

What is it with this show ant it's fixation with weird hair styles?

 

[Richard Baker]

I loved how nearly everybody on the cast had something to do, truly a great Ensemble setup.

Also, everything got jammed.

So depending on Wireless everything wasn't a good idea if you don't have shielded hardline backups.

Or "Land Lines". Who knew =D

The Galactica (NuBSG) kept hard wired communication for reliability and security

Something something something bad guys, not independent contractors.

What is it with this show ant it's fixation with weird hair styles?

It isn't all that weird. We're not talking Flock of Seagulls here.

 

[cooleddie74]

Rand in TOS had the most 1960s hair ever and we barely bat an eye over it.

 

[SolarisOne]

Are they building up to a modern TOS series? Because if so, I'm down.

 

[Fateor]

What is it with this show ant it's fixation with weird hair styles?

I don't know if I'd call it weird, it looks close to what Durga had in Lower Decks.

 

[1001001]

That was fantastic.

-1 for the telephone and Atari fixes.

 

[Tuskin38]

Really wish they hadn’t copied that T shape from the prototype NASA suit, So many people thinking it was a Tesla parody/knockoff.

I mean, it's probably from the times we live in, but I think I overlayed a subtext of elite pricks trying to escape a dying Earth after screwing it up, and morphing into the giant vultures they really are.

 

[cooleddie74]

In my head canon those older spacesuits were all that UESPA could scrounge for the vessel's astronauts in the wake of World War III. The newer designs of suits worn on, say, the Charybdis mission were long gone or inaccessible.

I didn’t get that feeling at all.
The dialogue of the episode doesn’t support this at all.
