Still an example of we don't know it until we do.
‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Renewed for Fifth and Final Season
- Thread starter Precious Tritium
- Start date
I think DeForest Kelley's cameo in "Encounter at Farpoint" qualifies as a TOS reference.
And even then, the Admiral was never identified by name.
Yeah, that was weird, I thought. Why be coy with it?
I see your pun there. Nice!Yeah, that was weird, I thought. Why be coy with it?
Was he the real McCoy?Yeah, that was weird, I thought. Why be coy with it?
Starfleet can neither confirm nor deny.
Relics did not use a fan made set, they built a small 1/3 wedge of the set that they could move around, and combined that with some footage from TNG.
Constitution class sets
When writer, and later executive producer, Gene Roddenberry submitted his 11 March 1964 "Star Trek is..." pitch to MGM, it was already abundantly clear that a starship called "S.S. Yorktown" would take center stage, meaning that at least some futuristic interior sets were to be constructed for...

The replicas of the captain's chair and helm, and navigational console were built by Steve Horch for convention purposes and slated to appear in the 1993 Star Trek Earth Tour traveling exhibition. [5] Discovered by Michael Okuda shortly before the start of the tour, they were rented for the recreation of the original bridge, and from a budgetary standpoint were instrumental in pulling off the recreation (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, 3rd ed., p. 219), Okuda having flat-out stated, "If not for Steve Horch, we would not have that scene.". (Star Trek: The Next Generation 365, p. 274) Returned to Horch after use, the now bona-fide screen-used set pieces, together with the by the studio built wedge-shaped bridge panel, continued their existence as tour displays.
Ironically if it felt very much like TOS to me, I wouldnt be watching it.
A low quality hologram to be sure. And I bet that the Empire couldn't fake Holograms could they.. oh wait more likely than not if they have the ability to build something the size of a planet, faking a hologram of a well-known senator probably isn't beyond their technical expertise.Wait ...what???She is standing right there as a hologram saying the message. It's in an R2 unit that obi wan is familiar with. Sorry it works..the writers made it work and didn't contradict anything..it was a smooth piece of added backstory.
As for his encounter with R2-D2 It's not an R2 unit Obi-Wan is familiar with (even though he worked with it 20 years earlier directly?)
He even tells Luke Skywalker after Luke informs him this Droid is searching for his former master that;
" I don't remember ever owning a Droid.. "
And seems to have no recognition of it whatsoever.
Yep another example of Star Wars bulletproof consistency.. oh wait.

You are forgetting sir that each R2 unit has a etched number denoting model and name. Unique only to them. Obi never actually owned R2. That was R2's way of getting Luke to take him to Obi Wan. Also R2 would not let anyone put a fake message in his dome. Good day sir.. I win.

Yes, but to me it's just more edging into small-universe syndrome each time some concept from TNG is added to SNW, instead of trying to be more period-specific. I mean, c'mon. We're getting a holodeck episode
Well, TAS did it first.Yes, but to me it's just more edging into small-universe syndrome each time some concept from TNG is added to SNW, instead of trying to be more period-specific. I mean, c'mon. We're getting a holodeck episode
I'm still hoping for a giant inflatable Enterprise personally.
The specifics change every time we see an episode. "Spock's eyelid syndrome." Having Pike's Enterprise be the flagship is probably the least egregious thing they can borrow from TNG.Yes, but to me it's just more edging into small-universe syndrome each time some concept from TNG is added to SNW, instead of trying to be more period-specific.

Yes.
It's been called the flagship at least twice on SNW. Disco just referred to the Enterprise as "Starfleet's most prominent ship" though behind the scenes info did call it the flagship.
