I'm sure Goldsman (60), Kurtzman (48) and Lumet (55) are flattered at being called Millennials.

Chapel isn't even the least interesting female character who comes back in TOS.
Having an attraction that she has refused to act on is absolutely not "having an obsession." Spock has been shown to have the same attraction and has refused to act on it for the same reason. Why do you see two characters behaving identically but only ascribe a negative interpretation of the same behavior to the female character?
No. I said, and I quote: "Having said that, I want to see Christine get more stories that are not about her relationships with men or romantic relationships in general. Let's see more about her outside of her love life." That is absolutely not the same thing as claiming she has an obsession.
This is demonstrably false. She pre-emptively shoots him down at the end of "The Serene Squall" just in case he might be there to hit on her. She makes no effort whatsoever to persuade him to be with her the entire rest of the season -- and no, hugging him to comfort him in a moment of pain, suddenly realizing there's an attraction, and freezing, is not "trying to be his girlfriend."
Spock has demonstrated clear attraction to both T'Pring and Christine.
True. Christine has shown more reluctance since she pre-emptively told Spock not to hit on her.
Complete bullshit.
"Devious?"
Again, I cannot emphasize enough that Spock and Christine have behaved virtually identically towards one-another, yet you only ascribe sinister intentions to the woman.
More bullshit. Absolutely nothing about her appearance in "A Quality of Mercy"'s future alternate timeline indicates she was pining over him. She was upset that he had been horrifically mutilated in the battle. That is all.
Hopefully few to none. What I want to see in season 2 is less futzing with legacy characters. We already have Pike, Spock, Una, Uhura, M'Benga, Chappell, T'Pring, Stonn, Sybok, Khan's great great great great great great great great great grand daughter, a Kyle, an April and now Kirk...actually, the Kirk brothers. That's plenty. Maybe a mention of Jim's brother's family, as he'd almost definitely be with his wife by now.
If Kirk's a recurring character I want Pike to be promoted to fleet captain, as that's literally the only thing we know about their meeting.
I voted for La'an and Ortegas in a shipping poll on this board a while back: it would be nice to win that.
First contact with the Sheliac would be cool to see. Also a Roger Corby mention.
They can start cycling through them like season 1 TNG. Picard was just continuing a proud Enterprise tradition...
Please no. After Discovery season 2, if I never see Section 31 again it'll be too soon.
When has any one "talked back" to Pike?
What's "realistic" for the "workplace" of a 23rd century starship?
Actually, season 4 was awesome.
It could be, but more than likely it's just "she got transferred to another ship".
I'd say the inseminating spit of the Gorn potentially does. It'd be nice to get a line saying that's just young and/or female Gorn. If the Gorn captain could've just spit on Kirk and waited, he's a hopeless idiot.
I have no issue with making them scarier and tougher though: it just makes Kirk come off that much cooler for winning. I do wish they'd stop calling them pure evil though. I know it's generally La'an saying that and she's been traumatized, but from Ready Room interviews it seems like that's what the showrunner believes as well.
You may be thinking of Uhura.
Glad you liked it.
It occurs to me that this is the time of Garth of Izar, post Battle of Axanar, pre-transporter accident, which left him injured.
Maybe a name check or cameo would be interesting.
Maybe a name check or cameo would be interesting.
I'd want to see that happen just to upset the Axanar fans.
I'd love one, especially considering how important an historical figure within Starfleet he's supposed to be at this moment in time. But Alec Peters and his Axanar B.S. and legal battles with the IP owner have probably sunk those chances for now, and if Garth is mentioned or even shown it'll likely spark some social media tirade from Peters about how his film project isn't good enough but their Garth is.
Just a total douche. "Alex Garth."
Keeps pestering his fellow officers to try his coffee.
Thank you. Christine can't do anything right for some people. They complained that the TOS characterization was wimpy, dopey, sleepy and obsessed. Now we try to fix that and they are upset that she isn't JUST LIKE the TOS CHARACTER. This means one thing to me. They are upset that Chapel is there at all. It must be CAROL MARCUS or LEILA KALOMI
Jess Bush tells us Chapel goes in an entirely new direction season 2. Perhaps a certain Doctor Korby makes an appearance.
As an aside. Chapel is falling in love with Spock and he with her. It's what lonely young attractive people do. Chapel makes the error of treating Spock like a human brother with hugs and support. This makes him feel weak. Finally in Seren Squall at the end, she does what a lady should do when a man who is attached to another woman begins to make overtures to you (That is precisely what Spock is doing)
"Spock thought that as a Human, she might want to discuss her feelings. Chapel appears to be conflicted, but says that she likes Vulcans and knows where she stands with Spock, knowing he would not chase another woman while he had a girlfriend, so she knows for certain there were no feelings between them. Spock quietly replies he is glad to hear that, and that she also knew him well, both considering the other a good friend."
Notice the lack of swear words, name calling and other immature female behavior. She adroitly avoids the issue by complimenting Spock on his virtues of honesty and fidelity. He would NEVER consider cheating on T"Pring (She knows very well he would..) She fluffs him expertly and sends him away. Was this girl born in the American South?
Yeah. This hornet's nest is best left untouched.

This is the nail on the head from my view.
I don't think they want anyone to be infatuated with Spock, honestly.
It's a shame to me we can't see Garth because of real-world silliness. I always thought it would be interesting to see who he was before he went cookoo for cocopuffs.
It might have made him all the more of a tragic character if he had been depicted initially as a very cool and likeable captain that you still wouldn't want to square off against in battle.
Meh. Just roll it in to Captain Tracey or Captain Decker.
