Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Everything needs an explanation. It is required by the first words of Roddenberry. In the TOS writer's Bible it said:

"Tell your story about people, not about science and gadgetry. Joe Friday doesn't stop to explain the mechanics of his .38 before he uses it; Kildare never did a monologue about the theory of anesthetics; Matt Dillon never identifies and discusses the breed of his horse before he rides off on it.
Uh, that quote explicitly says the opposite of "Everything needs an explanation."

I'd say this fellow is closer to an Enterprise TOS Andorian than a Discovery Andorian.

TOS S2 Journey To Babel
 
Pike appears to be making maybe thanksgiving dinner. While Kirk wouldn’t make the dinner, IIRC they did celebrate it in TOS
 
It’s interesting how much we already know about what the ten episode will be about at this point. Granted, some of these could be happening within the same episode, but they all seem like distinctly separate episodes to me. Looks like there’s basically only two episodes left that we know absolutely nothing about.
  1. Hegemony, Part II
  2. Everybody turns Vulcan
  3. Trelane
  4. Holodeck Murder Msystery
  5. Retro Sci-Fi Setting
  6. Using Telephones
  7. Klingon Zombies
  8. Roger Korby shows up

  9. Finale

Random observations from the trailer and scenes I can’t place right now:
  • There’s what looks like the Galileo shuttle landed/stranded on an asteroid close to some glowing planetoid. Maybe that goes together with the footage of the Enterprise being hit by a blue glowing shockwave later in the trailer? Maybe that’s the telephone episode and Pike, who’s absent from all scenes featuring the telephone setup, is stranded with the shuttle?
  • Is that Batel with a wig standing next to Pike in the Holodeck Murder Mystery? If so, then that would spoil her fate in the season opener.
  • I just noticed that the three-armed bartender doesn’t have her third arm centered in the middle of her chest, like Arex did, but coming from where her left arm is.
  • What’s it saying behind the bartender? I’m able to make out “United Federation of Planets”, but what does it say below that? “Centena”?
  • Could M’Benga be talking to his new head nurse replacing Chapel in this shot?
