Spoilers Strange New Worlds 1x01 - "Strange New Worlds"

Sybok may be the black sheep of the family but even black sheep crop up in conversation from time to time even if unintentionally. Sybok was older than both Spock and Michael and may already have been rebelling by the time Spock was coming of age and Michael joined the family, possibly even gone and banished for seeking out the knowledge that Sarek, teachers and others had forbidden.

 

T'Pring even called him Chris, which makes it seem like they've met before.

 

Spock did describe Sybok as "a young student." Sybok could have been a teenager when he rebelled and was cast out of Vulcan society, which means his disappearance from the family could have happened as early as the mid-to-late 2230s, which was around the time Michael was adopted.

 

If there ever is a musical based on Star Trek, "We Don't Talk About Sybok" has to be one of the big numbers. Right up there with "Make It So".

 

"Sybok!

WHO?

Sybok!

WHO?

Sybok?

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO???

Is he like Mayweather?

WHO?"

 

Vulcan masters "How do you solve a problem like Sybok?"

 

"Sunrise...Sybok..."

 

"I'm gonna wash Sybok right out of my hair..."

 

Emotions repressed on Vulcanis
Logic is best on Vucanis
You can't regress on Vulcanis

 

Sung to the tune of "Let it Go", right?

 

Data was fully functional...

 

With multiple techniques!

 

Stay safe on old Vulcanis.

Believe it or not, there are actually *several* videos along these lines.

 

I'm not crying, you're crying!!!

 

I was thinking, I'm not saying that World War 3 was a good thing for earth in the Star Trek timeline but I feel it may have been needed because the only way for humanity to mature was for everything to get torn down (which literally happened) so it could all be rebuilt into a united earth that was ready to start exploring the stars. I really believe that if Zephram had invented warp drive before World War 3 happened (as well as First Contact happening before WW 3) it wouldn't have united the world. There was no way that the way society before the apocalypse was was ever going to truly change.

Now, for the earth-like society in this episode, it was good that they were spared a devastating world war before it could ever happen so that they could instead unite to start exploring space but my question is is this society mature enough to completely stop fighting each other even after they build a fleet of ships? Just because those two leaders put their differences aside doesn't mean that it won't take years and years for all grudges and hostilities to completely subside. I'm just worried that all that would happen is instead of fighting each other on their planet, they would just start fighting each other in space.

 

Memory Alpha says that in SNW, Sam Kirk has already met and married Aurelan, and Peter has been born. There's nothing in the actual episode about this, so where did MA get that tidbit?

Are they just basing this whole thing on Peter's (apparent) age?

 

Probably.
