Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x01 - "Hegemony, Part II"

[The Wormhole]

I mean, that's gotta be theatrical gold, amirite?

Actually, no, since according to Wikipedia, it's supposed to be a streaming movie.

But yeah, we're coming up on three years since it was announced and nothing's been done. I'm guessing it ain't happening.

The Starfleet maps of Gorn space as it was known circa 2261.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Presequel?

BTW, whatever happened to that 'sidequel' of Ferris Bueller's Day Off where they made an entire movie about those two guys from the parking garage who stole Cameron's dad's car and went joyriding? I mean, that's gotta be theatrical gold, amirite?

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern take a Joyride?

The Starfleet maps of Gorn space as it was known circa 2261.

Cool! I just checked my copy of the Star Charts, and that almost perfectly aligns with their location in the Star Charts. Cestus is more to the "West" of the Hegemony in the Star Charts, but that's the only significant deviation that I'm seeing.

I wonder how Doug Drexler and Geoffrey Mandel feel about their map book from 20 years ago being the backbone of the modern show’s cartography

 

[Daedalus]

Pretty chuffed, I'd imagine.

You know you've got to be living on borrowed time if you live in that corridor between Gorn space and the Klingon Empire.

 

[XCV330]

Almost every prequel I’ve seen was nowhere near as good as whatever it was a prequel to. That’s just my subjective opinion, but it is what it is.

From Russia with Love is better than Dr No.

Property prices must be cheap.

I’m stating my opinion that I don’t like prequels, especially Star Trek prequels, because I believe they are stifled by what came before. What the showrunners’ plan was has nothing to do with that opinion. If they don’t feel stifled, good for them. I’m making my judgements based on my interpretation of the material.

Only a hack writer gets stifled by canon in sci fi were you have a infinite universe.

You can adhere to a shows continuity and canon yet stull get good stories.


Space is big, really really big and the federation have thousands of ships and trillions of inhabitants. If you cant make a story from that then you are a shit writer.

From Russia with Love is better than Dr No.

It is my opinion that pretty much every Sean Connery Bond movie was fucking horrible.

 

[cooleddie74]

DAF kinda sucks. YOLT is way overrated. The less said about most of NSNA the better.

But the other four are gold. No pun intended.

 

[Quinton]

I quite enjoyed this one! I understand the critiques that it’s a bit rushed, and I can respect the dislike toward the solution (and the bit of deja vu involved therein). But I didn’t personally mind.

“Hegemony, Part II” felt like the climactic, action-packed, back half of a TV feature film. And it never lost its Star Trek heart amid all the explosions. That’s great.

 

[The Wormhole]

It is my opinion that pretty much every Sean Connery Bond movie was fucking horrible.

Connery's Bond is overrated. Yeah, I said it. I feel the same about Tom Baker on Doctor Who.

Our Saddle Up! review is finally here, hope you enjoy it!

DAF kinda sucks. YOLT is way overrated. The less said about most of NSNA the better.

But the other four are gold. No pun intended.

You Only Live Twice is still my favorite Connery era Bond film.

 

[cooleddie74]

It has THE best Connery Bond soundtrack by far, but man, it just doesn't hold up all that well for me after repeat viewings. On the bright side YOLT is considerably better than DAF and the former doesn't feel like self-parody.

The Starfleet maps of Gorn space as it was known circa 2261.

Unthinkable that Kirk wouldn't know what a Gorn was in TOS. I think Kirk's line about "the creature the Metrons apparently call a Gorn" or whatever is because the TOS Gorn is so unlike SNW Gorn that Kirk's only taking the Metrons' word for it.

 

[Fateor]

The Starfleet maps of Gorn space as it was known circa 2261.

I want to point out here that it took them less then an hour to go from the Demarcation Line border to the radiation zone.

So that map is obviously nowhere near accurate.

 

[Finn]

Not as bad as them getting to the center of the galaxy in TFF?

 

[CorporalCaptain]

From Russia with Love is better than Dr No.

It absolutely is, though Dr. No is pretty damn good, too.

In the novel series, Dr. No is the immediate sequel to From Russia with Love. It begins with Bond recovering from the events of the previous novel.

But in the film series, From Russia with Love is adapted to be a sequel to Dr. No, not a prequel. If there's any doubt, see the character Sylvia Trench.
