Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

  • Thread starter NewHeavensNewEarth
  • Start date
The vaguely worded comments in that article, along with comments made in other interviews in the past make me think if/when we do see Sybok, it'll be in an alternate timeline/reality. Indeed, given the repeated use of the word "future" in the comments made in this article make me think we're getting a sort of AGT style alternate future, perhaps an alternate version of the events of TFF which feature older versions of the SNW cast instead?

This is the only way I'd be happy seeing the character again. Because Sybok as originally envisioned was nothing more than a plot device. Not to mention that he just wasn't all that interesting.
 
In other words, boot half the best characters on the show for no reason other than to get Kirk in the Captain's chair (which he can already do on the show anyway).

well actually some of the crew members froms star trek strange new worlds is not in star trek original series which is actually the after the strange new worlds

in other words after strange new worlds in time frame wise aka timeline wise is star trek the original series
 
They made 79 whole episodes of that already, so no imagining needed.

that is true

butt butt what if there was a reboot of the original series which would be the direct sequel from star trek strange new worlds

Please learn how to multipost.

And honestly, every stray thought that comes into your head, or constantly saying that you didn't know something, doesn't necessarily need to be posted.

I know that. I still have no interest in seeing SNW transform into TOS part 2.

The show is great with the characters it has. If there were any possibility of it continuing then it should move forward with those characters. Adding more is acceptable to a point, but removing great characters from the show for no other reason than 'They weren't on the Enterprise in TOS' would be one of the dumbest decisions in the history of the franchise.

It doesn't seem like there is any possibility of SNW continuing, the producers are just hoping to reuse some of the sets and actors. Whatever happens, one series is over and a different series may be made.
 
I wouldn't be disappointed if they moved into the 5YM after SNW. Maybe not retell the same stories, but other stories in the spaces in between what came before. Trek (especially early, non-serialized, Trek) had issues with a lack of consequences from previous actions. I mean, really, TWOK was the first time, to my recollection, where the consequences of actions taken in an episode really came to the forefront as the core plot of a story. TNG started to explore it a little more but it was pretty non-existent in TOS. Might be a reasonable place to start anyway, if they were going to go that route.

I would be all on board (kind of on board) except for the number of times where they say "We can't let continuity get in the way of a good story." Because they will have to do SOMETHING with: Tribbles, More Gorn, Organians, any number of Klingon characters.

If they just boldly went and crossed paths with existing TOS about as many times as TOS did? That would be fine. But they won't. I don't think they can.
 
100% agree. If prior series in the franchise had a hard time juggling established canon vs good stories, a 5YM interleaved into TOS would be in for some serious pretzel-twisting. If they go there and try to take on those kinds of gyrations, I really hope the writers get super creative with the material or it could wind up being a complete dumpster fire.
 
Maybe instead of TOS year one they could do the TOS crew in that time period between TOS and TMP. Bones also left to go do the Disco scene.
 
A departure from the traditional Trek story-telling boilerplate might be potentially beneficial if they have the intestinal fortitude to give it a go.

I remember, years ago, that there was talk of building an "anthology" series. Maybe it was what DSC eventually became - I can't remember clearly - showing "Tales of the Alpha/Beta Quadrant"-type stories. They could be told from the point of view from not only random Starfleet crews, but also Klingon, Romulan and/or Cardassian crews - not necessarily from front-line ships - and then maybe tying their individual plots together towards the end of the season. LDS tried something along those lines with the 4th season mystery of various crews being "wiped out" by Locarno's ship, but there was only so much they could fit into a narrow 20-something minute timeslot and it seemed a bit rushed. If they did a whole full-term series about that, it might produce some interesting results.

I dunno... Just a thought... :shrug: Might be moving into "Future of Trek"-thread-type stuff now...
 
I never understood the incessant, almost pathological need to make shows in the miniscule time period between DSC and TOS, other than to reuse existing sets and props. And even that is irrelevant, since CBS Trek all looks the same whether it takes place in the 23rd, 25th, or 32nd centuries.
