Damn straight.
Poll Is reset coming?
- Thread starter ITDUDE
- Start date
Nope.
I'm sure many of them enjoy watching "The Orville" now.
In fact, several of them are!
Resetting everything would be a cheap and unimaginative solution.
Except they have possibly been building to it from the absolute beginning. It’s basically year of hell with its original season long premise intact. I have already pointed out at least one insertion point for Mirror Georgiou, and when you think of her later actions...(bomb in the body) it’s not much of a stretch. We still don’t know why the prisoner transport shuttle iced up conveniently in range of Discovery (an effect reused on Stamets booth...I think it was supposed to be an unexplained Lorca intervention.) and there’s all sorts of foreshadowing in place, including in the opening credits (EVA suit hands meetin.) if they choose to use it. Not to mention the overall Alice theme.
Yeah, it will annoy bunches of people (but it’s been doing that at various points anyway.) no doubt, and there’s will be the same outcry as at BSGs god did it ending...but just like that ending, there’s enough there for it to make perfect sense (though less than with BSG, I mean that ending was so obviously paying off stuff going back years, including being very much in line with the original series.)
Indeed. Which makes it very likely.
ENT didn’t have half the internal setups and continuity snafus to deal with that DSC does depending on how it goes forward. And I say that as someone who disliked ENT.
But you can do both. And wrap it up in a bow. Or at least an Alice band.
If I was them, I’d do it. New bridge and go to movie era next year, Stamets in age make up. Boom.
While the idea that in the first episode it was Mirror Georgiou who stepped out of her ready room is cool, there is a problem with it - what happened to PU Georgiou? Did she get beamed off by the Discovery? We know she wasn't there later. Other than being okay with the idea of bombing the body, she was acting pretty straight-ahead Starfleet as well from what I remember.
Also, wouldn't the desire be to "fix" the TL, not have everything repeat? If that was the case, then even if MU Georgiou took PU Georgiou's place, she would make different decisions, which would result in the war being averted.

No. Just...no.
Yup. But the ready room is the easy fix to divert from there. She comes out and fires just as Burnham said. Vulcan Hello. The other stuff..yeah. It’s just other possible bits they can fiddle.
No they haven't! What they've actually built up are so many ongoing story lines that there is no way they'll throw all of those away with a reset. You've got to think like world builder/story teller. You're not going to get rid of all that.
HAHA.. well, 1 out of 3 is gonna have to be good enough for me!
Maybe I should have used purple font. Well, maybe pink, because I was half-serious and half-joking. I do like the show, however. Both of them, actually.
Lol. I am currently doing alright on a MA Creative Writing, I am thinking exactly like a world builder story teller. Firstly, Trek has an extant world...there’s nothing new they added that they can’t throw out, and some things they all but have to, if their stated aim is true. From a story telling perspective, they will have told their story...and having dropped in the Alice in Wonderland stuff, over and over, it thematically fits with everything they have done (even with the repeated ‘hidden person’ and ‘two faces’ stuff...what better way than to have two stories? The one that we saw happen, and the one about undoing it to tell another.)
Like I have said...if they reset, it will work, and it will be Year of Hell on it’s original season pattern. And most people like Year of Hell. First Contact is a big ‘how we reset it’ story and that’s pretty popular too.

While Trek fans are continuity nerds, what matters in fiction is development of the characters, not development of the worldbuilding.
I mean, let's imagine that we end up with one of those middle-level scenarios - where the main cast remembers what happened, but the universe is "reset" at BotBS. What have we lost? Does it matter that Lorca didn't meet Mudd? Does it matter we didn't go to Pahvo? Does it matter that the crossover to the MU only exists now in the memories of crew? Is it really a problem that next season we could run into T'Kumva, Kol, and an unaltered Voq? I say no, because this show has done startlingly little worldbuilding for a Trek series. There simply aren't many threads not related to character development worth returning to.

And if that is by design...then the reset was planned, should it happen. Neelix in a gold shirt.
