Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Hmm. I'll see you that and raise you Mr. Scott at the end of TMP, on the newly refit Enterprise: "We can have ye back on Vulcan in four days, Mr. Spock..."

I know, I know. Speed of plot and all that rot. Nobody seems to like my canon-preserving idea that Spock and T'Pring weren't actually about to get it on when duty called, and it didn't appear either was going through ponn far...

The hand wave could be that there was a pre-planned shakedown cruise with specific waypoints after which, by the time they'd get to Vulcan, it would be four days from then.

Love these jackets

Those seams irritate me.

 

[Campe]

Jackets are great. Seams and all. IMO.

 

[Kaelef]

I want one!!

Also: so far so good, but I hope they don't go overboard on the use of the Starfleet insignia. It's one of the things that kept bugging me in Discovery - it seemed like every salt shaker and roll of toilet paper had the insignia on it.

It's a great hybrid of the ENT landing party jackets and the ones used in "The Cage(TOS)."

That I like.

Starfleet's saturation of the market in the future is like Microsoft in the 1990s, with its main competitor being Apple-Macintosh: namely the Nyberrite Alliance. Meaning that Worf had the heart of a hipster.

 

[The Wormhole]

Does anyone care?

No

Meaning that Worf had the heart of a hipster.

Which is pretty obvious, when you think about it.

*Laughs as everyone races to scrutinize Worf scenes, to see if they can see his inner-hipster.*

Yep, 1st Klingon to join Starfleet before it was cool, probably the first to marry a Trill, did plenty of meditating, pretty sure there were some manbuns as well, had a studio-sized apartment on the Defiant.

They must use a pneumatic tube system on the Enterprise.

Magic?
Vacuum.

How else is the order to notify all decks using print-out only going to get executed?




Is some crewman going to be a runner?

 

[Nerys Myk]

We had one at my first job, to send money to the cash control office.

So after 50+ years we finally know what kind of stuff Pike watches on that tv in his quarters that was seen in the Cage.

I thought it would have been hilarious if he had Forbidden Planet on the TV!

Number One: Watching Star Wars again Chris?
Pike: I can't help myself, I just can't believe how bad some of these deepfakes are. (winks at the camera)

 

[cooleddie74]

"Clerks?"

"Dante's funny."

"Chris, the 37 dicks joke isn't funny after the twentieth time."

"That's the thing. It gets even FUNNIER."

 

[Yistaan]

April: And because of the botched mission to Denobula you're being ordered to watch the 21st century show 'Inhumans'!

Pike: No! No! Anything but that!

Number One: I thought the Federation High Court banned that show as a violation of cruel and unusual punishment laws.

April: That will teach you your place Chris. And you might even find out the main character looks a bit like you.

 

[KirkusOveractus]

Number One: Hell on Wheels again, Chris?
