Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

The curse(?) of small universe syndrome

Plus the episode is basically just saying thank goodness Pike died so that Kirk had to do Balance of Terror instead since he'd have succeeded. Uhhh... Pike didn't die. Go watch "The Menagerie" again.

Between the commemoration wall and the Sisko episode, we have more small universe details to debate.

Sisko was The Emissary so any focus on Bajor doesn't HAVE to have him but it's also not crazy that people still know who he is.

OTOH that wall being almost entirely (entirely?) from 800-900 years ago and from a handful of ships? That's... It pushes the concept past the breaking point. Peter Preston is on that wall!

The name wall was honestly a giant waste of money.

The name wall was honestly a giant waste of money.

It's pretty. And it's actually a fun backdrop for fans.

It just makes no sense. I'm annoyed I like it as much as I do.

Clearly John Harriman's reputation recovered after 2293.

 

[Set Harth]

Tuesday had to show up sometime.

It was delivered on Tuesday.

Great minds.

If for no other reason, the name wall needed to happen because of the following name:

ADM HARRY S KIM

That alone is bigger Trek news than almost anything else since 2005.

It's ADM Harry S.L. Kim.

All about the "L", baby.

 

[cooleddie74]

The L is for "LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG ass wait."

Never to late for a Captain Harriman Trek show! Who better to run it than one of the persons who created the character in Ron Moore! This is what billions of Trek fans want!

 

[cooleddie74]

Harriman already returned in Of Gods and Men. With Koenig, Nichelle, J.G. and Chase!

This is Trek. Characters can make many returns! Demora Sulu as first officer.

I was being literal about it being a giant waste of money.

Because each time the wall showed up on screen they were spending tens of thousands of dollars to digitally extend it.

I think there's a genuinely interesting story that could be told with Harriman. What does it do to a man who was the Captain on the mission where one of the most legendary starship captains was killed?

It was a big part of a Peter David novel, The Captain's Daughter.

 

[The Wormhole]

Harriman was also featured heavily in the novels Serpents Among the Ruins and One Constant Star, both from The Lost Era series.

 

[Tuskin38]

Didn't the novels have him get the position because of nepotism?

Or he thought it was.
