Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium"

[Noname Given]

2001 wants its complaint back.

1993 has first dibs.

The Mirror Universe isn't Bizarro World. Its residents have many of the same characteristics and skills as their Prime Universe counterparts. Musk would just be Musk with less restraints and morals.

Yeah, Mirror Worf wasn't evil in DS9, he was a generic Klingon.

Mirror Garek felt like any other cardassian solider, there wasn't anything Garek about him.

It looks like I gave Goldsman and Meyers too much credit in thinking that the idea behind "altering perceptions of the Gorn" in a future encounter was more metaphorical and less pedestrianly literal and unimaginative.

It feels like unnecessary hoop jumping

Well, when you're trying to please fans you will do that.

At least it does something interesting with a relatively midline TOS episode.

I wish we could change our votes, because the interview just knocked this episode down from a 6.5 to a 5.5. (Since there are no decimals in these votes, my 7 is now a 6.)

they could have just used the simplest explanation that there are different species of Gorn. It’s so simple.

Sure, but where's the fun in that?

 

[Paul755]

C’mon…you know we can’t have fun here.

Can you point to the dialogue that says it didn’t?

Can you point out to the dialogue that says something so monumental did?

He cannot.

And is misusing "canon," again. If the claim had any basis in fact, it would mean something like "attention to detailed continuity went out the window when..."

LOL no.

Even CONTINUITY isn't violated by Klingon first contact happening on Earth. Because we didn't know where it even happened until September 26, 2001.

I am an ENT apologist too, but there are things ENT did that rewrote a whole lot of the future history of Trek.
