But plot.....

 

[fireproof78]

Spock must die.

 

[cooleddie74]

I Khan't even anymore.

 

[Nerys Myk]

It occurred to me that having a radiation resistant Number One around would've been REALLY helpful at the Battle of the Mutara Nebula.

Or on a certain J-Class ship.

 

[Finn]

Spock must die.

A old Vulcan proverb in the 32nd. Nobody would know who Nixon was by then.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Spock must die.

To become Spock Messiah

 

[cooleddie74]

Or on a certain J-Class ship.

I'm baffled.

Plated.

 

[camdudetenger2018]

imagine if there was star trek strange new world movies and the movies were based during the 5 year mission between before and after the episodes of all 5 seasons of strange new worlds

 

[Campe]

What if I don’t want to?

To become Spock Messiah

Then comes Children of Spock, then God Emperor of Spock, Heretics of Spock and finally Chapterhouse Spock.

What?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Then comes Children of Spock, then God Emperor of Spock, Heretics of Spock and finally Chapterhouse Spock.

What?

Then Rod Roddenberry starts doing books with Kevin J Anderson.

The very fact that Spock met Leila on Earth makes it hard to work into the series. We haven't seen Earth (outside of time shenanigans) since the pilot.

It's easy. Spock like the rest of crew are on Earth while the ship undergoes the refit it will go through to look like it did on the 60's show. While on Earth Uhura gets her new haircut Scotty looses one of his fingers. Spock comes down with a illness makes him have yell sometimes. Then meets Leila.

The canon purists will still fume at all that because Leila meets Spock long before any theoretical refit, 6 years before 2267. Your theory is still... noncanon!!!

Blue! The BLUE plate.

See, Korby makes sense to include because being engaged to someone is way more important a part of someone's life than "this one lady had a crush on me." From the quotes given here and my utter lack of remembering the importance of this to Spock from "This Side of Paradise" I just can't see it mattering enough to include in a depiction of this era. Not that I would be upset if it were, it's just the weird "But when is Leila Kalomi going to show up?" thing that comes up every so often here.

[The Salt Umpire]

Blue! The BLUE plate.

Too late

Literally had to google who this even is.

Spock met Kalomi when he was younger, thought she was hot, but when they got to her apartment after the party he had an attack of adolescent conscience* about his girlfriend whose texts he hadn't answered in weeks.

Also, there was an ick factor when it occurred to him that dating a human was dating his mom.**

Then there was Leila's linebacker boyfriend hovering around...


*Defined as "What if I get in trouble?"
**Christine got him over that.

 

[Mudd]

Did we actually complain in the first year that Ortegas was getting short shift?

So long ago.

She's a standout.

 

[The Wormhole]

I do recall some issues being voiced over Ortegas having gotten the least amount of attention amongst the main cast in the first two seasons, and indeed, I believe she was the only character to not get her own episode in those seasons. Still, even in the first two seasons she was usually memorable in all the scenes she was in, so she certainly wasn't being neglected or anything like that. If anything, it could be possible this show is having trouble juggling its ensemble, as evidenced by the fact this season seems to having M'Benga and Chapel in a reduced role so far.

Then again, that could just be related to rumors there's going to be a huge medical centered episode later this season which those two will essentially be carrying by themselves.
