Spoilers Star Trek: The Last Starship
- Thread starter tenmei
- Start date
So, Issue #3 - the final part to "Episode One" and given the pacing of #1 and #2, this kinda moves at a breakneck pace. It could have really done with another issue to flesh a few bits out - like we barely met Doctor Zed at all.
The climax event was a bit of a jawdropper.

Man.
I, uh, didn't need that last thing to happen.
But it's such a well-scripted comic I will definitely read the next issue day one.
That said, I feel as if I'm missing many clues. Had there been some suggestion Wowie Carter would have his badass sequence? Or is it just Starfleet business as usual?

They referenced in the first issue he was one of Rodenberry's Post Humans, beyond fear and being scared. I interpreted that sequence as Wowie crapping himself and realising that maybe he IS scared.

The Federation’s delegates have gathered. The Babel conference is on. Together, they aim to save Starfleet and bring peace to all quadrants. But while Captain Sato and the crew of the U.S.S.

Some kind of weird fanfic or something. I've been following this and well it's a thing alright..
Story was a fanfiction comic mixing various Trek periods and characters. I won't say more as to not spoil it.

…and a lot of the comments on that page are about as loudly, hootingly dumb as I’d expect them to be. While it’s not the story I’d have written (and having recreated Kirk, isn’t Jurati essentially his mother?), the moment in question isn’t much different from similar instances in TOS (and I’ll be very surprised if it has much more longevity or consequences than those did). As ever, people are primed to find reasons to shout “Berman Lucas Davies Kurtzman-who-didn’t-even-write-this-thing is Drek!”, so they do.
““When someone seeks,” said Siddhartha, “then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal.”

Fair point. The whole story is rather silly though and I thought they were bold to go where they went linking Kirk to the Picard era
The story as a whole certainly takes a different approach than I would have, but that’s their call. The opening of the first issue had Sato essentially telling the Gorn “Everybody else has joined, so you should too… or else,” whether or not he or the writers quite realized that’s what they were doing. I also find it weird that everybody’s so distrustful of the Jurati Borg in the 30th century, when way back in the 25th it sure looked like they were about to become provisional Federation members. But again, I figure judge their story on its own merits, rather than “They didn’t do what I think they should have!”
That's fair enough.... I thought that bit weird but hey it's their prerogative as the author I guess.
Interesting.
I wonder if the plan is to continue to make time jumps and depict the whole era of The Burn. They could end the series concurrent with Discovery's arrival, and establish that Kirk is still around in the Starfleet Academy era!
I edited sorry
Would also be nice if this was in a more appropriate forum. Fan Art seems the right one? "Mixing various Trek periods and characters" doesn't really feel like a TOS topic. And yeah, like Maurice said, I had to go subject myself to random nonsense just to find out. But to be fair, that part's on me; I really need to learn that it's okay to just walk on past ambiguous clickbaity headlines.
Should I click on it?What the hell am I looking at?
I guess this is about a comic book?
Whatever it is, it doesn't belong in TOS.
That seems as good a place as any.

In Treklit, there's a discussion about "The Last Starship", the series this is speaking about.
Oh, is that what this was about? Definitely TrekLit not fanfic.
Comments are pretty hilarious. Usual rants about Kurtzman. And at least one person calling it "official". As if comic books have ever been official
