You'd eat that last jar of peanut butter if he did.
I just finished watching all the Bond films from beginning to end. I had only ever seen View to a Kill in the theaters, and snippets of other movies here and there, but never the full films in order. It amazed me just how bad the Sean Connery Bond was, and how awesome the Daniel Craig version is. I also realized that the campiness that ended with Brosnan's Bond was a good thing.
Kirk has taken a few "sharp changes" over the decades from broody Pike like Kirk to twinkle in the eye mid TOS Kirk to Movie Kirk to NuKirk. He evolved as the writers and Shatner found the character. And NuKirk was built on that and the pop culture Kirk. Be interesting to see how NuRKirk will be characterized.
I would have that completely the other way around
I think Connery's last official outing in 1971 is mediocre at best but to say he's a bad James Bond...eh. I'd say you're definitely in the global minority on that one.
As far as 21st century Guinan goes, she never got to see the future in this timeline, she never had concrete evidence that things would eventually get better.
Which is interesting, because they have now given us two distinct versions of the character.

Actually we do have evidence that the timeline A with absolutely no time travel involved existed, and that's the data on Spock's tricorder that Spock used to determine what had changed in the timeline.
He even states, "This is how time went after McCoy changed it..."
But in this reality Picard traveled back to the 21st century AFTER Q changed the timeline. Vast the Federation timeline does not exist when Picard and Co take the bodies and the Confederation ship that they're in back to the 21st century.

I dont know but this show hasnt even had its pilot aired yet. The other thing you all are talking about was an unaired pilot for a tv show called Star Trek. It was re-edited into a two part episode called the menagerie and used for the show Star Trek which had a different pilot episode The unaired pilot is not fully canon. The unaired pilot was produced by different people, cast with different people etc. This show is also called Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It's a prequel to Star Trek...
I think the reception was for Mister Clemens and Guinan was the host,.
It's still a follow up to that unaired pilot. Long overdue, in my opinion.
Humor, it is a difficult concept. I don't believe they were intending their remark to be taken quite so literally, but @Sci can speak for himself.
It's a part of TOS-R, so it's fully canon.
Absolutely anything is possible in Star Trek, as long as we're satisfied with being manipulated, because everything is made up on the fly to get to the next arbitrarily decreed plot point.
You mean like bouncing it off a mirror?
Sure, that'd work...since it's all arbitrary magic and there's no science or technological thinking involved, "Data stream" is just a magic word, after all. They could as easily invoke phlogiston or aether.
It was written and produced by Gene Roddenberry under the title of Star Trek. I think it is fairly safe to call it canon.
The first episode of SNW isn't a pilot. It's just the first episode. Recasting and behind the scene changes aren't unheard of between pilot and series. Star Trek itself is an example of that. When the suits gave Trek a second pilot they pretty much said recast everyone if you want.
It's so canon that it's referenced with stock footage not only in the first season of TOS but also in an episode of DSC.
Yes, it is.
The only way you can exclude it from being "really part of Star Trek" is if you define canon as including "only those episodes of Star Trek produced in the 1960s that were aired by the NBC network in the 1960s," which is patent nonsense and, frankly, would be stupid argumentative gibberish.
"The Cage" has been labeled and sold by the studio as Star Trek in every edition of the complete original series since VHS in the 1980s. It's met every reasonable criterion for being "canon" ever since it was broadcast in 1988.
There is a reasonable alternative answer of course, which is "So what? Canon is a notion that means nothing and is of no importance or relevance whatever. Trek s producers decide at any given time what elements of the vast collection of previous aired Star Trek material is relevant to what they're doing and use it, and ignore what's inconvenient to them at that time. And if pressed to explain themselves publicly for some reason, they say whatever they think sounds good."

Isn't that the point of all Entertainment?
Agreed it's very much canon. Hell, wasn't it back-door canonized when it was used in "The Menagerie?" before the whole episode was aired. What? Just the scenes they transmitted and played on the ship are canon and not the rest of the episode?
The whole episode is canon. Period.And since, apparently, it's a connection they're making (and one I'm all for. I roll my eyes and groan at a lot of the connects NuTrek makes to Classic and "Modern Trek" (like using the Guardian in DISC) but the Assignment: Earth stuff? I'm all for. Going to put that episode in and give it a watch tonight, been a good while since I've seen it.
