Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x02 - "Wedding Bell Blues"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
They hired the wrong wedding planner.
T Continuum vs. Q Continuum.Ok I will play into the fan speculation theories that there's a connection between the Thasians , Trelanes race and the Q
Spock with chest hair, automatic 10.
Curious. Would that change if they had someone other than Delance do the voice of the father?
I mean, that would change the character wouldn't it?
I would say so. The whole reason you cast DeLance is to make an explicit connection with Q. If you don't have him, you don't have that overt connection.
He’s a Q who can go to any timeline he likes. I would operate under the assumption that this event happened AFTER The Squire of Gothos and Trelane/Q Junior is older than he was in the classic Trek episode. He knows Spock here and he is actually trying to do something nice for Spock by giving him his heart’s desire. He screws up and gets petulant but he started out wanting to do a good thing. The Voyager episodes might be sometime after this one in the timeline.
To me simply casting Delancie is not enough to make it "official" . Maybe if the entity said "the continuum " or some other Q specific reference or Trait...than maybe But he didn't . To each their own . It felt like the producers said " Hey Trekkies have always speculated Trelane maybe a Q, let's get our good friend Delance to do the voice, fans would love it." That's how I saw it. Nice little nod but that's it.
it seems to me like a... "stretch." Like they were going out of their way to not same names or use familiar looking objects, the kind of stuff Enterprise would do. We didn't say it so it doesn't violate canon..
Like if the entity with DeLancie's voice wasn't a mistake but the sphere object we see him as in TNG S1 episodes.
FYI - I think Spock should have used the neck pinch to take out Korby.
Same explosive display of emotion but more Spock.

And this also confuses me - let's say for sake of argument , the familiar voice we heard means that they are indeed Q,... for a moment let's assume this- ...are people actually saying the Q we saw in TNG who tormented Picard is actually one of the same as the Wedding Planners Father?
You're not thinking fourth-dimensionally.
Since he says "Trelane" is still a "child", though eons old, this would mean it's a Q and Q2 from far, far, far in the future.
Or fans who love Small Universe Syndrome. Of which I am not one.

Ahh I see. So using an actor who played the original Q to do the voice is a "tell" to the audienc that this is a "relative" of Q or of Q lineage . Got it
What other conceivable reason would they have to cast that specific actor as the father?Ahh I see. So using an actor who played the original Q to do the voice is a "tell" to the audienc that this is a "relative" of Q or of Q lineage . Got it
If Archer's speech didn't include the words "it's been a long road, getting from there to here," all of the Trek franchise will have been a lie.Not gonna lie, I was hoping Pike would quote some of Jonathan Archer's Charter Speech from 2161.

Yes, it's absolutely not Q, which is why we're casting Q as an omnipotent trickster's voice.
Clearly it's not Kirk if William Shatner shows up as a captain from the future.
To play on the fan theories speculating that the Q and Trelane are related? Delance does voice work and it's not a stretch this a inside joke-ish homage. Not necessarily an official cannon "revelation "
What was Delancie official credit for this role?
