Another time travel episode where only one character knows what happend and again another alternate kirk. No thanks. 5 out of 10.
Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x03 - "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
That's usually how these things work.
Only Guinan had any memory of the alternate timeline events in "Yesterday's Enterprise(TNG)." Trek's been doing this for decades.
But not so closely spaced and with alternate kirk again. Yuck.
Also what the heck happened to kyle? Hes gone akesdy.

That's basically what ENT did, though. The same things that worked in the same way, just named slightly differently.
"Phase pistols" instead of phasers.
"Polarized hull plating" instead of shields.
"Photonic torpedoes" instead of photon torpedoes.
Similar but not the same. Implied to be precursors. Though polarized hull plating seems different than full on shields.

How did any of those devices function differently within the stories ENT did, though?
What if future La'an blabs about her mission to someone, so the DTI sends the Gorn to her family to wipe out everyone but her to protect the timeline and send her a clear message about the consequences of blabbing? And then they wipe her mind.
Same for like named devices in TNG. They function as SF tropes: rayguns, torpedoes and force fields with the occasional handwave about being more advanced. Then you add "quantum" but it makes no real difference.
Citation needed.
I think at that point in TOS's production, the intended backstory was that Earth had indeed conquered Vulcan -- or, rather, Vulcanis -- at some point. Obviously that backstory changed and the idea was never referenced again -- including, IIRC, being actively contradicted in, I think "The Immunity Syndrome?" There's a line somewhere where Spock mentions the idea that Vulcan has never been conquered in living memory.
As a former R.A., it felt more like "college dorm" in space than "city in space" to me.
Well nothing in previous shows says the Vulcans didn't have transporters in the 20th century.
Anson had a kid and requested some time off. He has a big role in this week's episode based off the trailers.BTW we are now 3 episodes into our new season - and Pike is still missing in action.
Did it took Anson Mount this long to film his Marvel cameo?
According to Carbon Creek there was going be another Vulcan survey of the system in 20 years. Which could line up with Agent Wells age.
The actor got cast on another show. Which has already been cancelled, so maybe he'll be back in Season 3.
Bet he kinda regrets THAT career move.
srsly, maybe Kyle is off getting his officer's commission? And getting married to that nice English girl?
Wouldn’t she not recognize it bc she’s never seen a Romulan ship in her timeline? They hadn’t been seen in over a century until TOS “Balance of Terror”.
Bet he kinda regrets THAT career move.
Nah. If he got a bigger role on another show, it's the right move to take it. His role as Kyle on SNW was very small -- even if this other show got cancelled, being able to demonstrate your ability to handle a larger role to other casting directors means you're more likely to get cast in a big role in other shows. He made the right call.
Nitpick: I wish Alternate Timeline Kirk's ship didn't so closely resemble the Prime Timeline Enterprise, that the United Earth Fleet uniform didn't so closely resemble the Federation Starfleet uniform, and that the ship Alternate Timeline Kirk was born on hadn't been called "USS," because it all contributes to the impression that the Federation is just controlled by Earth instead of being a union of equals.
Well, you see, Quark's Treasure crashed in Roswell in 1947, and that setup an alternate timeline where ENT, DISCO, PIC, LD, and PRO are both canon and non-canon...
I just go with my usually standby, Dr. Manhattan altering the timeline.
