[NCC-73515]

If it's not Boyce or Piper, it should at least be Puri

 

[Tenacity]

. They should have a cameo or even a small role in the pilot episode for Laurel Goodwin [snip] She could play the new Colt's mom

At nearly 80 maybe more great grandma.

 

[Mudd]

You know what I would like. They should have a cameo or even a small role in the pilot episode for Laurel Goodwin who played Colt in "The Cage." She is the last living cast member from that episode. She could play the new Colt's mom or a Admiral who is Colt's mom and mentions it to PIke in casual conversation such as how is she doing on the Yamato or something like that.

She could just do a viewscreen thing and play Pike's mom.

I like that idea as well. I think it would also be neat if they could track down some actual props from the episode and put them in the show or shows as easter eggs. I wonder how much of it still exists and didn't end up in a city dump.

There are replicas being made for fan usage...

I know but it would just be so much cooler if it was a used prop actually used in "The Cage."

Would be interesting to see if Pike is the progenitor of the Talking the Computer to Death trope, or was that something started by Kirk.

Pike's hat sitting on an old CRT TV in his cabin or I'm boycotting.

I'm with you. Start writing to CBS now demanding they comply.

 

[The Wormhole]

I demand nothing less than Pike's cabin be a 100% faithful recreation of the set built for The Cage, anachronisms included, built with the same material as the set in the 1960s. And if for some Gene-damned reason it isn't, then I demand a minimal of five minutes worth of exposition delivered explaining exactly why it's been changed. My viewership and continued participation in Fandom is contingent upon this.

I agree, and I'll make a zillion YouTube videos to express my outrage at every single little nuance they "get wrong" because "they don't know anything about Star Trek".

Part one of my 11-part YouTube series about why this is essential will premiere this thursday at 8pm GMT.

It's Gene's (tele)Vision!™

Of course he is. He will do everything before Kirk. Just like Burnham has dealt with multiple things Spock did that we thought were unique when he did them.

Remind me, what were those again?

 

[fireproof78]

Remind me, what were those again?

Well, being Spock for one. For two, that hair cut...

I mean, obviously Spock needs that recognition.

 

[BillJ]

Remind me, what were those again?

Let’s see, she encountered cloaking devices first, came up with the solution first, time travelled first, encountered the Mirror Universe first, made first officer first, mutinied first, turned down the Vulcan Science Academy first, fought the Klingons first...

It just seemed like they had checklist of Spock accomplishments that they needed to have Burnham do first. I guess to give her some kind of credibility.

 

[fireproof78]

Burnham was more self doubting, damaged. Closer to Kirk in my opinion.

 

[Lord Garth]

Let’s see, she encountered cloaking devices first

Re-watch "Minefield" (ENT).

came up with the solution first

What solution?

time travelled first

In the past, you've claimed to like Enterprise. So you know she didn't time travel first.

encountered the Mirror Universe first

Eh.

made first officer first

She's older.

mutinied first

Damn. I must've missed the episode where Spock mutinied.

turned down the Vulcan Science Academy first

See what I said two rebuttals up. She's older.

fought the Klingons first...

Oh please. You know in SNW they'll say they ran into the Klingons before. Even if it wasn't during The War. Don't even try to say otherwise.

It just seemed like they had checklist of Spock accomplishments that they needed to have Burnham do first. I guess to give her some kind of credibility.

Sure.

 

[thribs]

Yeah the Mirror Universe thing annoys me the most. Should have left that be for TOS.
I don’t mind Time Travel but it was rather stupid to have the Red Angel suit designed in their era. Would have made way more sense if it came from the future.
