[NCC-73515]

Well... the Vulcanians also weren't conquered, you know...

 

[Nerys Myk]

If only there was a way to look up that name and see who he was. Sigh. Oh well. Maybe one day.

Which I did. And still drew a blank on him, even in films he was in that I watched.

Or in that one meeting, Pike said, "Please, call me Chris."

That requires a more specific assumption not in evidence than the other, though, so the other is to be preferred.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Not against those choices but some of those are big names for a guest spot.

And many more.

I confess I have no idea who the fellow posing with Tuvix Killer is.

 

[The Old Mixer]

I don't know offhand who the guys in the Alice and Mike squares are, either.

Christian Slater in the center square.

 

[Mudd]

I get Jemison, Piscopo, Iggy Pop, Slater, Johnson, Hawking, MacFarlane, and Grammer.

Tom Morello worked for Captain Robau? NICE.

Looks like Pike is in a bad mental place in the beginning and has retreated to a lone house in the woods.

1) WTF is with NuTrek and depressed/unhappy/unmotivated/lonely characters with mental health issues?

2) Why does Star Trek make rustic houses in an earth-like environment to a place of longing and refuge for Starfleet officers?

Kirk and his log cabin in the Nexus
Picard and his Chateau
Riker and his log cabin on the healing planet
Pike and his lone house in the woods

A trite trope.

These people are space explorers. The Federation is a galactic civilization.
This is all the writers can come up with how people in a post-scarcity society want to live?

3) Wind turbines? Why?
Have the writers of NuTrek ever heard of fusion energy?

Why do people make mountains out of mole hills?

We're fans. It's in the name.

You don't understand the original Star Trek for what it was. Your criticisms in this context are meaningless.

You bet I'm tired. You bet. I'm tired of being responsible for two hundred and three lives. I'm tired of deciding which mission is too risky and which isn't, and who's going on the landing party and who doesn't, and who lives and who dies. Boy, I've had it, Phil.

 

[cooleddie74]

Dude seriously considered going into business with or at the very least becoming willfully involved with Orion slave traders and log cabins are the problem with Captain Pike's internal struggle?

Here's the thing-when old Trek did these types of story it was classic. When nu Trek does it it is disrespectful of Trek's legacy. I trust you see the difference.

Don't ask me how. It just works!
