Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4x06 - "Off-Hour"
Yeah. If thats the way they want to portray Boyce I've seen enough.
Yup. Those killer instincts served spock well that day. Lol
We are killers but we're not going to kill today.
Prescribing a Vulcan Hello.
M'Benga studies at the Frank M. Burns School of Medicine.
When Vulcans go to bed at night, they check under the bed for M'Benga.
It's edgy.
It's impressive that there are literally no correct words in this post. Including "and" and "the." That's quite a feat.
Having actually read some of this comic now? I'd have to say the premise here is waaay goofier than anything that has gone on with M'Benga. And boy howdy, that is saying something.Boyce on SNW can't be worse than this comic cover's take on him
Oh wait they just transferred that aspect to M'Benga.
I read it years ago on my Star Trek comic collection dvd (sort of miss when you can buy digital comics that weren't tied to some account this way) but don't remember much about it.Having actually read some of this comic now? I'd have to say the premise here is waaay goofier than anything that has gone on with M'Benga. And boy howdy, that is saying something.
I do vividly remember their take on the Rigel VII mission was infinitely better than the SNW version.
I kind of remember this comic's Robert April going down a dark path (to the point fans speculated he would be demoted to become a commodore in TAS because of his shady deeds, as like in SNW he's an Admiral in this comic). The Kelvin comics turned Robert April into a full blown villain.
The Klingons in the comic also looked exactly like in TOS without an attempt to portray them with ridges (this was after Trials and Tribble ations I think but obviously before Enterprise's explanation)

Eh. Read that one today; I can say that it's different and much more literal. IDK that I would say that makes it "better" per se. SNW's take is weirder in ways that I think I actually prefer, personally.
But it's not bad. The comics include a reasonably amusing take on Pike's former Yeoman with Dermot Cusack (he's a bit of an "Irish rogue" stereotype -- okay, he's a lot of an "Irish rogue" stereotype -- but he's memorable).
[Intriguingly, I think the Early Voyages comics have a visible influence on SNW. Or at least a visible confluence with it. The whole idea of cadets "interning" on the Enterprise turns up in those comics, for example, with Spock being the first candidate. And the first issue features a confrontation with the Ngultor -- basically the Borg but meat-based and not as disproportionately powerful -- and the interior of the alien ship looks curiously really similar to the interior of the Gorn ship we see in Hegemony.]

I liked the first mission comic. When pike hands over the enterprise to kirk. So much better than any SNW episode in my opinion.
That was a DC comic while the Early Voyages comic was a Marvel comic. None of the publishers followed the "continuity" of other publishers to my knowledge. By the current situation with IDW, IDW is not even following consistency within its own publishing range (even if you take out situations like Countdown etc where screen continuity overrode what they did, Mission's End and Year Five are not compatible to my knowledge for example)
A random aside, but after you finish reading issue 15 of the Early Voyages comic, check out this video from OTOY. They lifted a scene right out of that comic and recreated it.Having actually read some of this comic now?

That's true but he is one of those left leaning comedian types that has crossover appeal with those on the right.
I think the PR was doing heavy lifting there. And we saw how the lack of TNG Redux ended up there...
And folks in the 23rd century can’t change their appearance?
Correct. They aren't compatible. I really liked the DC version of Pike handing the Enterprise over. They had sone good comic writers back in those days. The art was fantastic as well.
I don't know why people had issues with that. Only parts of TAS is Canon. So it is a non issue as far as I'm concerned.
Didn't Roddenberry himself say the animated series wasn't canon?
TAS is considered "canon" for whatever that's worth. Whether it was or not, the recasting of Robert April (a character who had barely appeared in Star Trek before that) would not be an interesting topic for my money. Keith Candido basically covered that subject as much as it needed to be covered back in 2022, and said what needed saying about it.
It's all canon. Whether or not they use it in current Trek is a different matter.
he said a lot of things. Many of which were ignored by the people in charge.
