Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x03 - "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

[Nerys Myk]

Um, I guess you didn't see the behind the scenes stuff regarding SNW S3E3 - yes, the car chase was filmed using the AR Wall to get some very nuce and big budget looking feature film level shots of them interacting in the car during the chase. the rst of it was filmed ON LOCATION in Toronto in real buidings and outside areas including a famous building a hotel, a store and a resturant. It was not 'another bottle show.'

You’d think Star Trek fans, of all people, would pay attention to details.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Has anyone mentioned Pelia and her like and a connection with Flint from Requiem for Methuselah?

I doubt that Flint is a Lanthanite. He's certainly lived long enough, but when he left Earth he lost his immortality. I'm just hazarding a guess Pelia hasn't lost hers.

 

[James Cole]

Yep. As I've written before, continuity is a virtue, but it's not the only virtue nor even the most important one. The modern obsession with "canon" often seems to be a case of putting the cart before the horse, in that preserving the sacred "canon" and making sure all the encyclopedia entries are 100% consistent has somehow become Job One, as though the world-building and timelines and "canon" are more important than all the other factors that go into presenting an engaging hour of TV: the acting, the dialogue, the music, the morality plays and messages, even the actual story and characters.

Just want to say I appreciated your attention to detail / continuity in your Star Trek novels, especially your Gary 7 and/or Khan ones

If a lot of the audience is more concerned about the canon than the story, it *might* have something to say about the quality and entertainment value of the story being told.

So much this...

 

[Tuskin38]

Wesley Kirk reminded me of Pine Kirk this time around. Will we ever get to see him be Prime-verse Kirk for more than a few minutes?

According to the trailers, yes.

 

[Gary Bitchell]

And there's a reason why those Kelvin movies are widely criticized as absurd by many Trek fans.

Yes, and many Trek fans loved them. People "widely criticize" 3 and 5, too. They're still Trek, they're still canon, and you still sound silly if you cry about them all the time.

 

[Gary Bitchell]

I understand that people who never saw TOS aren't going to care about these kind of things. And some people love this franchise so much that they'll swallow anything as long as the Star Trek name is on it. But it's a huge distraction for people who care about continuity and consistency. And it's all unnecessary.

Oh, good gravy. The arrogance of this bit is ridiculous and over the top. People who disagree with you are not lesser fans of Trek, there's no reason to believe they haven't seen as much as you, and your standards aren't better. Think less of yourself.
I've seen every ep of TOS multiple times. And all the others. multiple times. I like this ep and this show.
No, I'm not crying about continuity and "consistency," because the only consistency" I care about is quality, and this show is continually great in my opinion. I don't need it or want it to be held back by a show made before women could have credit cards without a man's approval.

 

[Tallguy]

I doubt that Flint is a Lanthanite. He's certainly lived long enough, but when he left Earth he lost his immortality. I'm just hazarding a guess Pelia hasn't lost hers.

Isn't this the first time that Pela has left Earth?

To be clear: I don't need or really even want there to be a connection. I don't need there to be a connection between Q and Trelane either. I just figured it's something to talk about that isn't alternate timelines.

 

[Yistaan]

Pike: Pelia, isn't it hard living centuries looking like an elderly person?

Pelia: Actually, I prefer it. When I looked younger and more beautiful, and went by the name Helene, the entire city of Troy was destroyed over me.

Pike:

 

[Jedi Marso]

Did you freak out the first time you saw the Klingons on Star Trek The Motion Picture?

At age 11 in 1979, it was definitely a WTF moment, but I totally understood what was going on. (Retcon)

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Isn't this the first time that Pela has left Earth?

We have no idea.

 

[KirkusOveractus]

At age 11 in 1979, it was definitely a WTF moment, but I totally understood what was going on. (Retcon)

I was 7 then, and in the theatre a few people clapped at recognizing the D7s, but it was like you. People understood they had to be Klingons. My dad was the one that whispered it to me in the theatre.

 

[Yistaan]

Stupid La'an, she knows nothing about her own family history. If she had just taken some blood from kid Khan, she could've saved her Kirk.

 

[Racefuel]

Time travel isn’t real..

That we know of

 

[Racefuel]

But it's a huge distraction for people who care about continuity and consistency.

No.

 

[Macintosh]

I doubt that Flint is a Lanthanite. He's certainly lived long enough, but when he left Earth he lost his immortality. I'm just hazarding a guess Pelia hasn't lost hers.

Also – the Enterprise crew recognise Pelia as a Lanthanite. The later Enterprise crew didn't recognise Flint as such.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

And Flint didn't have the accent.

 

[Macintosh]

Doesn’t matter. Time travel isn’t real.

Welcome to Star Trek. We have time travel and artificial gravity and teleporters and faster-than-light travel and aliens that look exactly like humans with rubber stuck to their foreheads. On the Moh's scale of science fiction hardness we rank somewhere around pudding.

 

[Mudd]

I don’t think saying it’s an alternate reality is rejecting anything.

It's not saying anything.

 

[Yistaan]

So, it's been Khan this and Khan that for almost 60 years now. Considering how widespread Trek's fanbase can be and how powerful the internet is, did anyone ever find what happened to Roddenberry's war buddy who was the namesake of Noonien-Singh and Noonian Soong? This probably breaks some kind of record for longest proxy search of someone by fiction or something.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I doubt that Flint is a Lanthanite. He's certainly lived long enough, but when he left Earth he lost his immortality. I'm just hazarding a guess Pelia hasn't lost hers.

Pelia thinks you speak with an accent. And since she invented Indo-European, she would know.
