Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

And forgive my sidetracking, but, the Kelvin we see in 2009; short of its destruction, that is what the Kelvin should look like in both timelines, is it not? It's not until after this event that the timelines start to deviate and things look different. I feel like that's not clear.
Both timelines have everything in common up until 2233. So unless they say or show otherwise, the USS Kelvin in 2233 would've looked the same. If they show the Kelvin in SNW and it looks different, it could be explained away as 25 years have passed and the ship was refitted.

My impression was that the Kelvin would appear the same. Also, the uniforms segue fairly well from ENT jumpsuits to the Kelvin solid color and then to the DSC's suits.
 
As much as I like TOS, I don't like how it's been weaponized online and treated as if God created it. It's not perfect, nothing is, so I'm looking forward to seeing the ways in which SNW can improve upon it.
Indeed. Some sacred cows are worth slaughtering and this is one. TOS will always be the oddball because it is so different. from what came eventually with the films and TNG and going forward.

I think SNW offers the chance to imagine TOS in a different way than what would have been imagined at the time of TOS' production.
 
I've seen the rumor of Kirk appearing in SNW pop up on this thread. I wonder how fandom will handle it when/if Kirk actually does show up on SNW, he and Pike meets... AND... it's NOT when Pike is getting promoted to Fleet Captain.

Oh noes! A Canon violation! What will we ever do?

Oh, just toss it into the pile.

Judging by how they reacted to Spock and the Enterprise in DSC, we'll get a thread that runs for thousands of posts, two-thirds of which will be filled with mock outrage and not getting things on purpose.

If they actually make Kirk bi, I know how certain posters will respond before I even open the thread. And we'll probably have some banned members register dual accounts so they can weigh in before getting banned again. And then one of them will work in how Michael Burnham is a "Mary Sue" even though it has nothing to do with the actual topic. Expect complaints about how "SJWs" have "ruined" everything.

Yeah, that sounds about right...

Cool. Well, now I don't need to wait for the movie to come out.

The forum is a stage and the posters are performers. Performers who know the script because they keep practicing. They're so good that when we shoot the movie, they have it down in one take. It's easy when you practice the same exact play month in and month out, year in and year out. With an occasional updating of the names. Though sometimes some of the performers get bored. So, to spice it up, they play the villain.

At the end of the day, it's all theater. Wrestling and internet posting both borrow heavily from it.

All the Trekbbs 's a Stage
And all the fans and trolls merely posters
They have their closed threads and open threads
And one dual in their time plays many parts
