Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x04 - "Memento Mori"

[Nerys Myk]

Yeah absolutely. I'm just saying that the series keeps making the case for why she's not necessary instead of showing why she's important.

She's been Pike's sounding board and La'an's mentor.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

So has Spock and Pike. She's certainly done stuff in the episodes, but right now I feel like dropping her wouldn't leave much of a hole. Hopefully I'll feel very differently by the end of the season.

She's an interesting character and I like the actress. The "jobs" of each character aren't all that important to me.

Or she'll get her own spinoff.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

This is her spinoff!

 

[Nerys Myk]

This is her spinoff!

Sometimes spinoffs get spinoffs.

 

[fireproof78]

This is her spinoff!

No. It's Pike's.

 

[Belz...]

You say that, but they already referred to her as a civilian in Episode 1 because she shouldn't be part of the Starfleet yet.

Hey, I could be wrong, but given the past 55 years of Trek history I expect them to make decisions about story first and continuity a distant second.

All in the Family > Maude > Good Times

Anything more spinny-offery?

 

[ToddCam]

Seems logical to have some step in for the XO, if the XO is incapacitated. That's not redundancy to me. On the other shows we see crew stepping in at helm, navigation, communications and science all of the time. So why not XO?

At least on TNG, there was the position of second officer.

JAG-NCIS-NCIS: LA

La'an might be the second officer.

 

[fireproof78]

At least on TNG, there was the position of second officer.

And TOS.

 

[Nerys Myk]

And TOS.

Was Scotty ever IDed as such? Obviously we've seen him in command when Kirk and Spock were off ship, so logically he's Second Officer.

I can think of a few spin-offs of spin-offs off the type of my head:

Happy Days to Laverne & Shirley, to the animated Laverne & Shirley in the Army

Arrow to Flash, to Legends of Tomorrow

Beverly Hills 90210 to Melrose Place, to Models, Inc.

Good Morning Miss Bliss to Saved by the Bell, to Saved by the Bell the New Class, to the new Saved by the Bell

The Vampire Diaries to The Originals, to Legacies

And of course there are the series of the Law & Order franchise, going to Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Criminal Intent (and the much shorter lived shows Law & Order: Trial by Jury, Conviction, Law & Order: L.A., and Law & Order: True Crime) then SVU to Law & Order: Organized Crime

MTM 2 Rhoda 2 Phyllis?

not sure

 

[Turtletrekker]

I want to see more of the Number One we saw on Discovery, who ordered a cheeseburger and fries covered with habanero sauce and sang Gilbert and Sullivan with Spock.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I can think of a few spin-offs of spin-offs off the type of my head

Also the Chicago shows: Fire, P.D., Justice (cancelled) and Med.

Happy Days itself is a spin-off of Love American Style. Happy Days also beget Joanie Loves Chachi and Mork & Mindy (and animated spin-off). There was even a short-lived spin-off of Mork & Mindy titled Out of the Blue.

Happy Days itself is a spin-off of Love American Style. Happy Days also beget Joanie Loves Chachi and Mork & Mindy (and animated spin-off). There was even a short-lived spin-off of Mork & Mindy titled Out of the Blue.

Out of the Blue is an American fantasy sitcom that aired on ABC during the fall of 1979. It is chiefly notable as having featured a Mork & Mindy crossover, and for the debate surrounding its status as a spin-off of Happy Days.

Out of the Blue has engendered debate amongst some viewers concerning its precise relationship to Happy Days. The controversy arises from the fact that the first episode of the series was broadcast a little over one week prior to an episode of Happy Days featuring Jimmy Brogan as the character Random. Television observer and owner of Sitcoms Online, Todd Fuller, maintains that because "Chachi Sells His Soul" aired on September 18, 1979, Random's appearance on this Happy Days episode was a crossover. He goes on to postulate: "The Happy Days episode was likely a promotional tool for Out of the Blue to make the character more known."
