Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

And where did IMDb get their information?

They sometimes get things right, which I think is the case of the actor or their agent/casting agency putting in the info.

The actress who played Kestra in Picard Season 1, she was listed as playing Kestra on IMDb months before the episode confirmed it. She showed up in a couple trailers, but none of those trailers actually named her character.

Yeah. A few years back I watched all of Trek in canon order, and it's in a lot of ways a very smooth transition from TOS Season 3 to TNG Season 1.

TNG became a much better series once it realized that it didn't have to just do TOS stories with a different cast.

Exactly. The show had a TOS sensibility about it in that first year; less so in the second, but it was still kind of there. It was like the people behind the scenes hadn't worked on a show since the original series and so when they are brought back to do TNG, it was the only way they knew how to do it. There was still very much a camp to the show that first year which is more or less gone by the time the third season starts - which is when I think TNG became the-then modern Trek that we knew right up until the end of Enterprise.
 
Well, according to TrekCentral:
Actress Gia Sandhu will play 'T'Pring' in 3 episodes of 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds! It's highly likely that this is the same vulcan T'Pring from TOS episode 'Amok Time'! T'Pring, who was bonded to Spock, was originally played by Arlene Martel.
I really don't know how reliable the site is.
Who knows, maybe we'll now find out the reason why Spock's parent's weren't at Spock's Pon Farr Ceremony 10 years or so later... ;)
 
If I'm ever independently wealthy, I'm gonna' retire and do this.



Aren't there two seasons of a cartoon and 6 movies in between?

Wasn't TAS not canon for a period before becoming canon? Regardless I watched TOS followed by TNG a few years ago too and TNG S1 definitely felt like TOS. I think I enjoyed the cheesiness more because of the lead in.
 
Yes. There's a small bit about it in the TAS Wiki. Basically came down to money, control and egomaniacal pissing contests, mostly instigated by Roddenberry (shocker!) trying to maintain ownership (read: profits) over his creation.
 
If Strange New Worlds starts out right after Discovery leaves for the future that would be 2258, and Spock would be 28 years old. That's a multiple of 7, might be the time to convert that betrothal to an official engagement?

The episode will be a story about how T'Pring and Amanda failed to get along; and as a result T'Pring, bars Mr Spock's parents from the Ponn Far ceremony (whenever it occurs) ;)
