Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

So which political party makes Star Trek? I just thought that Star Trek was set in a world where everything was kind of in balance and everyone gets along. Until the nasty aliens come along of course! But that is alien politics, not *real* politics.

What version of Star Trek are you watching?
Alien politics are just away of commenting on real politics.

It’s called allegory.

I don't like gory Star Trek

 

[Nerys Myk]

Allegorny

a political party doesn't need to make it for it to be political.

Did you watch the first episode of this season?

Mostly Democrats. Certainly liberals, from the beginning.

Well something screwy is going on with the season finale

Wasn't expecting THEM to show up.

There must be a HELLUVA twist in store or some really major misdirection going on.

 

[fireproof78]

*shocked gasp*

No! Not them!

 

[cooleddie74]

My guess is it's not the ones we think...

The map is based off Stellar Cartography 2nd Edition which was in turn based off the Star Charts book from 2003, and then the shows art team added some new planets created for the new shows.

The problem is Stellar Cartography is set in 2381 I believe. So it has planets the Federation hasn't even discovered yet in 2260.

I remember a map screen in Discovery Season 1 showing "The Path of the USS Enterprise-A", which represented the ship going to the galactic core in Final Frontier, it was there because it was in 'Star Charts', the art team just copied the maps.

I’ve got both of those books. They’re a lot of fun.

Well it isn’t Romulan. Their weapons are green.
Probably want us to think it’s them.

Nope, the red ball of energy is a ringer for the "plasma weapon" seen in "Balance of Terror."

I still don’t think it’s them. It’s going to be a massive misdirect, or involve some time travel shenanigans

They absolutely duplicate the distress call from the monitoring station, including dialogue. And of course, there's the wedding on the Enterprise.

Best episode of Macmillan and Wife ever.

Love how the Outpost uniforms have the TOS insignia. They're really dialing into TOS more and more as the series progresses. I love it!

I just checked and you're right, it was orange. Still something off about it since that was supposed to be a new weapon in Balance of Terror.
Maybe this is some sort of vision Pike has if he alters the timeline? We know the start involves one of the kids that dies in the shuttle accident.
