Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

The bridge of the TOS Movie Enterprise changed from film to film, even altering small details between TWOK and TSFS.

Yeah, it's best to leave the character dead and gone at this point.

Potential new fans won't have the foggiest idea who he is, or the significance of his place in the mythology

Old fans will just roll their eyes at watching the writers getting wrapped around a Gordian Knot of an axle just trying to explain why he didn't die in the first place (holodeck story inaccuracy?) at the expense of the primary story they're trying to tell.

Don't bog down SNW on that ancient shit. Leave sleeping dogs lie.

It's not that hard to bring Trip back. Just have a character say" Didn"t you die." Then have Trip say "It's a long story" and then not mention it again

No. Just no. Some things are just objectively a bad idea.

I like how the novels did it.

 

[fireproof78]

No. Just no.

Agreed. I don't find this idea very palatable.

The Trials and Tribbleations Approach.

This shuttle Eaves designed for the USS Iowa/Kelvin would be the perfect kind of design upgrade I'd like to see in SNW. Too bad it was already used in ST09, they probably wouldn't want to reuse it. Plus Eaves isn't on Strange New Worlds as far as we know.

I'm not sure when it is best to launch another franchise rewatch. SNW is slowly hyping me up for episodic Trek, but I am not sure if watching over 30,000 minutes of episodic Trek will hurt or help my enjoyment of SNW.

I love those. This is what the DSC shuttlecraft should have looked like. TOS but with a modern design twist.

I think you just nailed my issue with the new Enterprise bridge. Basically it all looks like it just came off the assembly line and probably even still has that new ship smell. But the problem is the ship is old. It's already had a 5 year mission under Robert April and I am guessing maybe another 5 under Pike. We are talking about a decade old ship.

And it obviously underwent a refit.

Remember in the episode "If Memory Serves" The Enterprise looked as it did during the original pilot for TOS - "The Cage". I had no problems with the new bridge set and if they keep it exactly as it was it'll be fine with me. I also for the most part don't mind the reimagining of the exterior. The one thing I really hate about that is the swept back aspect of the nacelle pylons, (which look like they did for ST:TMP sans the slit). I really wish they had kept them just straight up pylons like they did in the original orthos of the 1701 displayed on the bridge control stations of the Discovery.

I guess we'll see you when they start showing finished footage in whatever promos they make for the show over the next year.

I would do the upper right one. I think the tighter nacelle configuration is a nicer look, while being reflective of the TOS era.

Yep. The smooth hull near the back of the shuttle is a must if they're going to pay direct visual homage to the TOS shuttlecraft design.

I'm not aware of the Enterprise (inside or out) appearing in that episode...

Look again at the opening flashback/teaser.

They're talking about the previously on segment at the start of the episode.

^ Oh, OK. The stock footage from "The Cage".

I was thinking of a newly constructed set, which of course we didn't get until much later.

Yes and no, for the exterior shots in the previously on, they used footage from later in TOS, if you look at the nacelles, the 'lightning rods' are missing, and it has the smaller bridge dome.

But yeah the rest of the shots were from The Cage.

My point was - they showed the TOS era 1701 from the 1966-69 series ON ST: D so yeah, it existed in that Universe.

 

[Death Ray]

Go the comic book title route and call it "Star Trek: Year One."

Kor

Star Trek: Road to the ‘Boop Boop’ Chair!

I like how the novels did it.

You are not alone in that enjoyment of those novels.
