I thought that was a fun touch, along with Spock just instantly being down to help Korby when he realizes what's really going on instead of will he won't he schtick that usually goes with a premise like this.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x02 - "Wedding Bell Blues"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I could be wrong, but my recollection was Nog's issues with his leg were just psychosomatic due to his PTSD. There was nothing at all wrong with it.
This is correct. He treated the leg as damaged. It was a trauma response not something wrong with the medical care.
Well it's their show so I'm going by what they are saying. I wish it weren't so because I always liked that we never knew. It was one of those fun harmless debates star trek fans have had for decades. Going to miss those times.
It's their show and they say it's Prime yet people still debate that.
I'm just borrowing a page from that playbook. On screen or doesn't count.
They're debating on it lol
Q and Trelane
memory-alpha.fandom.com
Because it's never actually said *in* the actual episode that he's a Q, it necessitated a debate to take it from the comments from the producers.
Memory Alpha's official take is everything onscreen is canon, and nothing that creators say that happens offscreen is canon.
Works out horribly in a few cases, like the fake commercial at the end of The Trouble with Edward.
It's prime until a future writer/producer says it isn't. It doesn't fit well at all. I think they missed the mark by a mile when it comes to the designs and tech. Next up a TNG holodeck. Maybe just a holoroom. Who knows.
There are some exceptions, like with ship class names.
And TOS is just a dramatization of Kirk's logs.
So it doesn't need to fit. TOS is inaccurate.
Oh please. He behaved the same way, he used the phrase "Tally-Ho!" his father came to fetch him at the end, and he was wearing the same damn jacket.
Spock is not an idiot. He would notice and mention the similarities.
The episode would've made a lot more sense if they had.
And my objection isn't that "It didn't affect everyone." My objection was that we were spending the majority of the episode on something that wasn't real, that the main characters knew wasn't real. It was, for all intents and purposes, a dream.
I like this quote and seems appropos:
"Star Trek was again a very inconsistent show which at times sparkled with true ingenuity and pure science fiction approaches. At other times it was more carnival-like, and very much more the creature of television than the creature of a legitimate literary form."
"Star Trek was again a very inconsistent show which at times sparkled with true ingenuity and pure science fiction approaches. At other times it was more carnival-like, and very much more the creature of television than the creature of a legitimate literary form."
I don't want to sound negative, but I'm halfway through this episode and I hate it so much.
Quoted for emphasis.
He snaps his fingers and John de Lancie is his father. I'd say that counts as on screen canon.
He was also emotionally distracted
And when has that ever happened? Yeah, the Animated Series kinda comes and goes, but it's still treated as mostly Canon.
Sure it does. I was a fan of The Original Series before I was a fan of anything else, and I think it fits perfectly fine
It looks like a visually updated version of The Original Series series. I don't know what else to tell you. I also think it's the best looking series in the entire franchise. I'm at a loss to find a criticism.
Ahh. I was pretty tired after 2 late night episodes.
Echoing the people who say that it's a shame SNW keeps regurgitating stuff from TOS. The callbacks to the Gorn and Amok Time annoyed me in the first season (though SNW's T'Pring is a superb character) but it's just getting ludicrous now, I actually scowled at the almost one-for-one recreation of The Squire of Gothos' ending. There's a trend in a lot of modern interpretations of older franchises where settings are seen as toolkits in which you mix and match existing things in an endless recursive loop of self-referential callbacks, which I think it's a real shame.
To get the positives in first, Darby was a superb Trelane even if the character's presence was questionable, the guy playing Korby was very likeable, and as always you can tell the actors had fun making the episode, which does a lot to keep the mood high. Pike's crap speech also properly made me laugh, excellent work from Mount. Also the bartender kicks ass.
Otherwise, though, the show's starting to really grate on me, which sucks considering the first season was by and large very promising. The Spock and Chapel romance, which was initially very effective and a brilliant reinterpretation of the characters, has slipped into overwrought melodrama at this point IMO, and not in a positive way. It's starting to get intrusive; I wonder if maybe the showrunners saw how positively people reacted to it at first and then leaned into it way too hard to the point where it now consumes much of the show.
Ethan Peck has been one of the greatest things to happen to Star Trek in recent years and his Spock is excellent, but I feel like some of these scripts aren't serving him well - he's constantly being called on to play Spock as emotionally volatile, which works well in very short bursts, but the way it's been sustained for so long now is turning me off the character despite Peck's consistently top-tier work.

Yeah, the muttonchops totally said 'Trelane' to men, and damned if the voice of his 'father' didn't sound like John DeLancie to my ear. I didn't check the credits, though.
