Spoilers Legacy character announced for SNW

[Shawnster]

The Delta wasn't exclusive to TOS Enterprise. The crew of Memory Alpha also wore the Delta. I think there was another non-Enterprise person wearing it in another episode.

Anyone commanding a navy ship is called captain, regardless of rank. On the other hand, if the cuff braids indicate captain, then I'd take that as rank

Enterprise doesn't have that wood panelling
the original star trek was from the 1960's. expect wood paneling.

The colouring through. It's brown, not red. might be a different ship, with a redressed Enterprise bridge representing it.

 

[BillJ]

Probably just the lighting and focus.

I wonder if they might've muted the bridge color scheme to bring it more in line with the two TOS pilots.

 

[Cyrus]

I have said this before, but it was inevitable that all TOS characters (Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, etc) will eventually show up on SNW, hopefully as guest stars and not regulars.

Yep, we've seen the Delta on Starbase personnel and officers from other ships. It's never been Enterprise exclusive. The use of a non Delta badge even prompted a memo from Justman back in the 60s.

I hope you're right. Season 1 better be amazing. It has one shot.

Mother: "We have Captain Kirk at home."

So, comics?

Kirk is totally gonna bang Kahn’s great, great, great, great Granddaughter isn’t he.

I mean, he was gonna have to show up eventually…like sometime in the final season. To me it’s like the Enterprise showing up in Disco S1/S2…the producers just couldn’t help themselves.

Still bullshit.

So there is a video on Tiktok from a scene being filmed, that is quite spoilery:

So Kirk putting the moves on La'an Noonien-Singh, I wonder if he knows her full name?

 

[adv1701]

In my head cannon , he was captain of the Saladin prior to Enterprise. The DC comics first series annual 1 had that story. I've been staring at his wrists trying to make out his rank. Trekmovie says SNW is 6 years before he takes command. Kinda gave up on canon timeline with Kurtzman and am just hoping for good Trek. Discovery has improved, Picard season 2 is better so far and lets hope SNW continues the trend. Is it classic Trek, no but I'm, ok with it.

 

[FederationHistorian]

If Anson doesn't want to carry on they're kind of in a bind continuity-wise. Either recast Pike or transition to Kirk.

If Mount’s leaving – which hasn’t been confirmed btw - there are ways to get around that that does not involve recasting Mount or bringing in Kirk so early. At least with the prime universe, mirror Kirk is another story altogether.

- Recently promoted Commodore Matt Decker comes in, and leaves after showing early signs of mental instability.

- Commander/Captain Una gets a shot at the chair. It rewrites history, with Captain Garrett no longer being the first female captain of the Enterprise, but that was never set in stone to begin with.

- Even Robert April being given the captain’s chair one more time.

Unless this is a mission that involves the Farragut and Pike has to work with her crew, this feels like jumping the gun.

 

[Paul755]

Still bullshit.

totally agree. It bothers me that they think the show needs to have Captain Kirk before 1 episode airs. If the show is struggling after 1 or 2 seasons and they need to pull the trigger like Worf DS9…that’s one thing. But at most it should have been a quick cameo sometime during final episode.

[Tuskin38]

Honestly, just remember this is season 2. We probably won't learn the story reason for well over a year from now.

 

[Campe]

Ya know, I’m not thrilled with this but there is an out.

MENDEZ: You ever met Chris Pike?
KIRK: We met when he was promoted to Fleet Captain.

What if Kirk comes on Enterprise much like Pike came on Discovery? And at that time Pike is promoted to Fleet Captain. Presuming this new actor just joins for a season, it saves continuity and allows for a relationship between Kirk and Pike which could realistically lead to Kirk replacing Pike. And keeps Pike aboard Enterprise for a time longer for sure.

But ultimately now, yeah, think they’re building towards an eventual TOS reboot.

Which is awesome. But, not yet.

 

[Mudd]

Yeah, guys, I really don't think that's the Enterprise that Kirk's commanding there.

 

[Campe]

Which is awesome. But, not yet.

No. Not yet. I was promised a Pike series. I want my Pike series. After Sisko, he was my captain. I’ve always liked the little we got of Pike and love what they did with him in the Kelvin movies and Disco season 2.

 

[Tuskin38]

People are really jumping to conclusions here. Nothing says he's replacing Pike. For all we know he's not even in the entire season, could only be a handful of episodes.
