Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Oh my God. I can't stay quiet about this anymore.

Is this meant to be reverse psychology? It's the only thing that makes sense right now.

I'm neutral on SNW because I've said from Day One, I'm not to keen on going back to episodic "planet of the week" stories and nine times out of 10, I'm usually not a fan of prequels.

But you? "Oh my God! They have Kirk!!!!" and now you're turning on the show just like that and going apeshit over it? And, yes, you are going apeshit over it. Is this really the molehill you want to die on?

Edited.

At this point, it's pointless to go on about. I've said my piece, been told to settle down, and am working on doing so. Do I want to die on this molehill? Right now, yeah I do. But, maybe I'll feel differently later.

For now, I leave it at that.

Maybe wait until he actually appears in the show.

I don't give a floating fig what you like or don't like and what gets you home, but after sticking my head up here today I may understand why your "Location:" is what it is.

It is what it is because that was something I was told I lived.

I don't but I see no reason to argue it.

Argue it. Now that's something you've been told.

If Smallville is a pre-requisite to being a Enterprise captain in this, let John Schneider be April.

Argue...what? I've been told a lot.

If there is meaning to this it is now officially lost on me. Other than I love Garfield.

 

[ThankQ]

That's a start

Garfield is a great start. But highly irrelevant to this thread.

If they'd just called the series Star Trek: Pike we could've avoided all this concern over Anson Mount leaving and Kirk taking over!

I think, as others have noted, the question would always be "When's Kirk going to show up?"

Personally, I think that Kirk could have waited but that's not my choice to make. So, how it plays out will be another subject altogether. It definitely speaks to the icon of Kirk though.

Now the question is "When is Gary Mitchell going to show up?"

Now the question is "When is Gary Mitchell going to show up?"

hopefully in the series finale, when Kirk finally takes command.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

I dunno, I think I'd rather see a slow transition to the Where No Man Has Gone Before crew over the course of the series.

Now the question is "When is Gary Mitchell going to show up?"

I suppose it depends on how long Spock and Kirk had served together, vs. Spock and Mitchell:
SPOCK: Our subject is not Gary Mitchell. Our concern is, rather, what he is mutating into.
DEHNER: I know those from your planet aren't suppose to have feelings like we do, Mister Spock, but to talk that way about a man you've worked next to for years is worse than

That's a good point, I hadn't thought to check the script for clues.

Dehner is actually introduced to Kirk in their first scene like they hadn't met, she was picked up fairly recently, so it's possible that she's making an assumption about how long Spock and Mitchell have worked together. Also Mitchell told her that Kirk asked for him to join his first command, so the two of them are presumably serving on the same ship during Strange New Worlds.

Dehner's doing crew evals, so she's probably reviewed their records.
