    Maybe it's a thing where Khan (Ghengis) gets some really cool weapons via time travel. Who knows, who cares until it airs.

    I'll be honest. I tend to take that bit with a grain of salt. It was one line of dialogue from a pilot episode before they had worked everything out. In my mind, it's the equivalent of smiling, shouty Spock from "The Cage," an oddity from a first-draft version of STAR TREK that maybe doesn't entirely gibe with what was established later.

    If SNW wants to ignore it, I'm fine with that.

    Although "Shore Leave(TOS)" also states Kirk was "positively grim" at the Academy, a trait which helped motivate Finnegan to bully him.

    And they're all a mess, too.

    Using anti-Asian stereotypes, even inadvertantly, is never cool. It's not clear yet if that's what is happening or how that costume design will work. I'm not accusing SNW of anything. I just said, that costume raises my hackles and I hope they were very careful in the production of this episode to avoid stepping on a landmine.

    It may be the more "Humanoid" Klingons, might be a world they settled away from Quo'nos

    I'm thinking this is what may be the episode dealing with a return to Rigel that had the warrior outside the fortress. The costuming is very similar.

    I always thought that Mitchell was being a bit facetious with that line.
    Like he was pulling Kirks leg.

    I'm pretty sure it was just Mitchell projecting his jealousy of Kirk's intelligence -- i.e. the core theme of the episode.

    And Kirk has always been portrayed as being smarter than the average bear, and has already been so in SNW.

    I imagine that like many jokes there is a kernel of truth to it. Kirk may not always be super serious, but when he is on the job he is on the job. So much so that in "Shore Leave" he has to practically be tricked in to going on leave.

    It's Rigel 7, where the locals killed Pike's crew and fucked him up.

    There are several shots in the trailer that look like they belong to this episode.

    Pike's not smiling in any of them.

    He is, to borrow a phrase, positively grim.

    Now I want a nod to the fight music from The Cage (the horn section).

    The giant with the dental problems on Rigel VII was identified by Vina as "the Kalar."

    "THE KALAR!!!"

    Ah, one of that pilot's most memorable utterances. Not quite "THE WOMEN" but a classic!

    Yeah, might be a little Genghis goin' on here - or just whatever Western Costume had on the rack that week...

    Desilu in late 1964 probably had access to the wardrobe archives from recent historical epics.
