... From 800 years in the past?I wonder if Empress Georgiou will show up in this show? She could potentially fly her space station ship in to help resolve a cliffhanger, acting as a Deus Ex Machina?
First SFA Trailer
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
I'll take @HotRod's data, because his sample size is greater than just a single movie's data point.Remember the last time an Academy Award-winning actress was featured in a Star Trek production?
Didn't work out that well.
Not too many from nearly a 1000 years ago are looked at with awe from military cadets. Basically I don't think a 20 year old military officer would look at Genghis Kahn, Alexander the Great, Alexander Nevsky etc. as role models on how to be a military commander. Its too hard to relate to someone from that long ago. Those people are from ancient history. In the 32nd century people like Kirk, Sisko, Picard, Pike etc. would be from ancient history. I doubt some cadet in the 32nd century would be day dreaming in class about being the next James T. Kirk. Its unrealistic.

But Carl, The Guardian of Forever, could have remained in contact with Phillipa… it was never explicitly stated where she was actually deposited during the events of Terra Firma, it is also unclear where her current starship/station tech is from… seems very futuristic and beyond 23rd century tech to me. Could be a time travelling vessel taking part in the Time War, we do know that Georgiou is Section 31, and could be involved in this new show as a recurring character for the Loyalty, Duty and Service…. Of the Empire!….
You're stretching more than Reed Richards.

I guess I don’t understand why any of this would happen…?
The CBS/Paramount Star Trek universe is a static one that never changes. A show taking place in the 23rd century, 24th, 25th, 39th, 41st, etc. will have little visual differences and few changes in tech. So I doubt there will be a lot about this show that absolutely requires it to take place in the century it does, other than the 'we're reopening the Academy after 100 years' premise.
And I'm really not sure how things like "loyalty, of duty and service" feel like Mirror Universe concepts.
Its ridiculous to have even place stories since far in the future. Its not realistic.
In Discovery season, 3 Aurelio, the chief scientist of the Emerald Chain, was studying the spore drive and commented at the 23rd century must have been "the Golden age of science".

If you say so. For me, I like the idea of knowing what time period a show takes place in by its specific production values for that time period, which I'm not seeing so much of now.
Sorry, I got confused with this:
Neither are transporters or warp drive yet for some strange reason people still watch.
Haven't talked to many military members have you?
Quite right. Its all blurring now. What was so great about TOS to VOY(Enteririse)is that the technology advancement made sense in the look of the shows or movies tech. Now the 23rd to 32nd century tech looks similar.
She'd have to time travel to show up. She's in the 24th Century.I wonder if Empress Georgiou will show up in this show? She could potentially fly her space station ship in to help resolve a cliffhanger, acting as a Deus Ex Machina?
I'm talking about tech advancement in story. Its ridiculous to have STD with a more advanced engine than any ship 800 years in the future. They haven't gotten rid of their dependence on dilthium yet? In TNG they were experimenting with things like the soliton wave. Also I just love how they started the 32nd century with badge transporters that seemed independent tbut than decided there is still a main transporter on the ship that they need to get connected to to work because they felt things would be too easy. Duh its the 32nd century what did they expect? Other cultures we saw on tng had transporter badges that were independent transporters. Technology stagnation for centuries makes no sense especially when we saw advancements in even the tng era(Data putting a transporter badge on picard). Again its bad writing from writers that do not care.
Piliippas futuristic space-station-vessel could be a time ship covertly taking part in the Time War. Carl probably dropped her off in the far future where she acquired this vessel, probably built by Captain Braxton, and where Seven of Nine’s USS Relativity is based/docked when not out on active service. Currently, Georgiou is probably fighting Daleks with Absolem Daak, slayer of Cybermen and Borg on the Gallifreyan war front…. But at the same time, she is ready and waiting for the call of duty should the Academy need any of their outstanding cadets to be trained in ‘special operations’... should they be willing to do first hand work experience and training on the front lines, of course…
The Dilithium thing was the writers trying to figure out a reason for Discovery to still be relevant in a future they shouldn't have been relevant in.
That they settled on that however shows the general lack of writing skills that made Discovery such a failure.
It's common in history because until the invention of the printing press information was extremely limited in it's ability to spread.
