The difference between Enterprise still being based in the Sol System versus the deep-space five-year-mission.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x02 - "Wedding Bell Blues"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
You could also see as as " let's cast an actor who played a famous omnipotent trikster to play the father of TOS's version of an omnipotent trickster . " I don't think it automatically makes a *direct* connection to Q. But rather a nod on how similar those characters are.

I mean it could be that or it could be...hear me out...confirming the fan theory.
Replace "confirming" with "adding more credence to " and I can meet you half way.
Fuck that noise.Not gonna lie, I was hoping Pike would quote some of Jonathan Archer's Charter Speech from 2161.
Well, no. ‘Confirming the fan theory’ would be if we actually saw John DeLancie, and he referred to himself as Q. Just doing a voiceover is more of an Easter Egg than a confirmation.
That seems to be beyond the eras technical capabilities from the original continuity imo.... I'm not really complaining because I think the timeline has been rewritten but TOS medical technology seemed a bit limited, they couldn't even help miramanee.
Exactly. There's isn't something that was actually *said* that confirms it In a way that it would no matter who did the voice.
Voice just by itself is not something you can positively" identify" . Especially in a Star trek university where Kirk's voice can either sound like Shatner or Wesley for example.
One of the columns on TOS’ medical readouts was, no doubt, “Dramatic Potential”.
I don't know if you're joking or not, but I can't take you seriously anymore.

The show runners have outright said it's Q and Trelane. Directly referencing the TNG Q-Squared that connected them.
Plus Trelane's costume includes stuff from his TOS costume.
There isn't one. The end credits just list his name guest starring with no character.
Which isn't unusual they never seem to credit what characters guest stars play on SNW.
Are you saying then it's official as in on Memeoy Alpha? If si, will admit I was wrong. All I'm saying we the fans can make that guess. Maybe even call it an educated guess but I don't think it's official that the Q and Trelane are one in the same. And yeah I'm serious about that and I dont think it's an unreasonable take either.
Nothing on Memory-Alpha is official, it's fan run.
An interview with the showrunners saying Trelane is the son of The Q, or some equivalent of that seems pretty official to me.
....cetecean ops in TOS?? You gotta be kidding me.canon*

Ok well than I stand corrected. Nothing specifically that was said on screen made it canon by its own merits but if the showrunners are saying it than there's some substantial weight to it. Simular to Nyota being ( virtually) canon when Roddenberry said it was her first name and official official when it was said on screen.
So I stand corrected.
Memory Alpha is not now nor has it ever been the arbiter of what is canon. I will take the word of the people who actually run the show, and they have spoken, over the word of Memory Alpha and its often arbitrary editorial practices 8 days a week 13 months a year.
I love that it's post-TOS Trelane having fun with a ship that doesn't yet know that he even exists.
But, there's some thing on the wing!On my second re-watch, I noticed you can see Trelane looking through Spock's window at one point, when Chapel leaves his quarters shortly after the beams on the ship
