Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x10 - "Hegemony"

[Captain Jollydark]

Scotty was one of Pelia's best students who got some of the worst grades. Sounds about right

I imagine he didn't do the assignments as specified but ventured off on his own tangents regularly.

 

[TheFlutteringHorde]

I'm starting to think Pelia's one of those professors who doesn't give anyone a good grade.

Pelia: "Where's Cadet Scott?"

"The bar."

Pelia: (*Sighs and rolls her eyes*) "Maybe I need to join him!!"

-1 for this being a cliffhanger. Solid 9. Excellent VFX in this. Loved the fakeout of the survivors being beamed up, only to have the dreadful discovery that the Gorn beamed them up.

I thought it was actual Gorn that beamed up in disguise! obv need towatch again.

Ends on a cliffhanger.
Is there a snowball’s chance in hell that CBS will even produce any more Star Trek?

BOY IN CHAIR: Captain's Log: supplemental. My first day in the big chair. Not a fan of this bowl haircut, but I suppose I can make some Vulcan friends now. Gee, it's a beautiful day outside! Everything is going swell!



WHITE HAIRED DUDE ON RIGHT: Hey! You! We do have a barber in town. You wanna look like a freaking Nausicaan/Klingon hybrid the rest of your life?! Or are you one of those human refugees from Caesar's Ape City?




INDIANA JONES (CENTER SCREEN): It's like one of those Midwest American towns from the 60's. Probably has William Schallert as the Mayor and Andy Griffith as Sheriff. This is pre-Big Box Store development, if the thriving main street businesses are any indication. If you hear a nucular air raid siren, head to the nearest lead-lined fridge. Every atomic test town has one. Never seen so many living dummies, though...

Since I figured they were going to eventually, a part of me was hoping they'd tap Chris Doohan from Star Trek Continues for the role.

Even though he doesn't look it, Doohan is in his mid-60s.

Yes? Season 3 was close to filming when the strikes started. I imagine once the strikes are over they’ll get right to it.

Lower Decks Season 5 is in production right now.

Possibly.

Maybe not.

Even though he doesn't look it, Doohan is in his mid-60s.

The more I hear Martin Quinn the more I can hear both James Doohan and Simon Pegg's version of Scotty in his inflections.

A pretty good episode, although I'm not a fan of a cliffhanger ending for a 10 episode season. The episode definitely breaks the last bit of possibility of having any continuity with TOS though, Chapel and Spock have seen an adult Gorn, which 100% never happened in the universe where the events of Arena took place. Of course these aliens aren't really gorn anyway, they're reptilian xenomorphs, but if the show wants to continue to pretend that they're gorn then this show is definitely not a prequel to Prime timeline TOS, although itsa really never been that regardless of what they've said before.

I liked seeing Scotty, although I think its ridiculous that almost every TOS character was around the Enterprise before Kirk. At this rate, I can't wait for a teenage Pavel Chekov to arrive on the ship as part of some high school field trip

Overall a decent episode and a good end to a mostly mediocre to bad season of Star Trek. 8/10

Considering the acclaim, and more importantly, the ratings that SNW is getting, I would think the chances are beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Jeez! Dude is aging pretty well!

 

[Supervisor 194]

The issues with the Gorn vanish if you can accept multiple species that include a variation that Kirk wasn't familiar with. Easy peasy.

Indeed.

But, if it helps everyone sleep better at night then SNW is just a dramatic recreation of Pike's logs that takes some creative liberties.

Or TOS is.

Or whatever.

You saying that doesn't make it so.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Not to mention that the demarcation line is concave toward federation space not the gorn side... I guess that's just a ripple to include the planet and not it's moon? Seems very odd to me.

I was thinking that the line was going through the planet.

Dividing the planet not space.

Which means that the ships and wreckage would have to be in geostationary orbit to keep on the right side on the line.

 

[Mage]

Spocks placement of the rockets seems pretty random.

You have knowledge on how to properly place rockets on a derelict spacecraft in such a manner that they would launch said derelict into a decaying orbit and crash into a very specific site on a planet?

Dude, that's frigging awesome!! I wish I had that kinda knowledge!!

 

[DaveyNY]

Scotty!!!!

I was gonna give this one a 9 for leaving us hanging, but Scotty saved it.
