Get Smart, on the other hand, wasn't shy about President Johnson (other than mentioning him by name) at all: steer-horn hotline, remarks about "baby powder," and so forth.

Read the full post you quoted and you'd see the context is meant to be in reference to contemporary real life political and cultural figures. Since Abraham Lincoln was dead for a hundred years when he appeared on TOS, the rules wouldn't have applied to him.
Yes, I didn't realize that Mount was such a ST fan coming into the franchise.Was just watching this week's The Ready Room-aftershow following the new SNW-episode, and Anson Mount (during his interview with Wil Wheaton) talks about how the novels and comics have been featuring the Gorn for years now. Very cool.
This episode of SNW has a completely new story for the Rigel VII mission that immediately preceded "The Cage," superseding the one in Early Voyages #3.
I don't follow this at all.Inevitable, really -- though I wondered if naming Pike's yeoman Zack Nguyen was a nod to EV's name for him, Dermot Cusack.
I don't follow this at all.
When he was at Shore Leave in 2019, he hung out with the writers and novelists, he was offering his suggestions on books to read, and he took recommendations. In his talks with Ethan Peck, he talked about how he had been up for Gabriel Lorca in the first season of Disco, and when he received the audition script for season two and he read for that, while the character was not named "Christopher Pike" in the script, he instantly figured out who the character really was and he knew he had to have that role. "I would have liked Lorca, but I wanted Pike" is roughly what he said. (Peck, by the way, said the Spock character in his audition script was an Andorian.)Yes, I didn't realize that Mount was such a ST fan coming into the franchise.
And Peck figured out he was auditioning for Spock, even though the character on the page was an Andorian. IIRC, Peck said something like, "I was reading the script, and I'd think, 'That sounds like something Spock would say.'"That's awesome. I love that he figured out he was auditioning for Pike.
While I get obfuscating the role's actual identity is necessary these days to prevent spoilers leaking, saying your looking for an Andorian when you actually want Spock seems an odd choice. It runs the risk of potential actors turning down the audition because "I don't want to have to go in blueface every week."

I'm not following...what do those two names have to do with each other?![]()
No.Sorry, does that mean SNW now lies outside the prime timeline of ENT to DSC to VOY to DSC?
No.Wouldn’t that mean that TOS/TAS represent Alpha Canon, or history as it is meant to be/the correct timeline. And anything from TNG and after presents an alternate timeline/Beta Canon, some sort of Bizarro Universe?
If I'm understanding correctly, it was just that the last syllable of "Cusack" sounds the same as "Zack".
It's all canon. There's just the one timeline. Events have been shifted.
