I'll have to find the image, but there's a shot of I believe La'an using it, and it still has the Discovery style grip and trigger. Maybe
Edit: It was Ortegas
Cronenberg, Quintin Tarantino, Nicholas Meyer, and maybe Ben Stiller if we want to stretch the definition of iconic to include Cable Guy.
I bet she's talking about Jonathan Frakes and Star Trek First Contact.
"One of the most iconic movies of the 20th century" and half of that tweet thread is picking Frakes - a regular on the NuTrek directing circuit since the beginning - for First Contact? Okie dokie.
If I could pick I'd go Tarantino, only because it's the only shot at Tarantino Trek we'll likely ever get.

I definitely prefer the SNW version. The DIS one looks too brute (like everything on DIS).If there is one thing Discovery did right, it was revamp the phaser and communicator.
I mean look at that. I feel like there going backwards with the TOS phaser remake.
The original design from the 60s is still unmatched, and SNW looks like a good modernization of that.
what have they done to the phaser other than change the color and replace the nozzle?If there is one thing Discovery did right, it was revamp the phaser and communicator.

I'm more dubious about Pike's 'do, to tell you the truth. He's looking a little like a middle-aged guy who's trying to be hip, or something.
*timidly raises hand*
You'd think that with millions of dollars and the adulation of legions of young fans that JK Rowling wouldn't keep doubling down on random transphobic comments. People are odd and often self destructive.
Like shoot outs, minstrel shows, human sacrifices, operating on patients without washing hands...
That name can't be helping her hide it...
Do you mean moustache?
I just find their choices odd. Obviously Pike, Una and Spock were unavoidable, and any crewmembers from The Cage would be understandable (though this is set late enough that they're all optional), any crewmembers from the expanded universe stories set around this time would be cool to see (but are obviously not expected), M'Benga's at least a welcome edition (though I hope they leave enough wiggle room to fit the Vanguard novels into his story), but Chappel and Uhura seem like really random fanservice, with Chappel already making fans worry that the writers forgot about Korby, and then having Kirk show up this early and a previously never mentioned Khan descendant...it raises my eyebrow as high as Spocks.
So Archer was also the captain of the ring ship we saw in the refit Enterprise rec room?
Sorry, but while maybe you can claim by the 24th century, the Federation no longer use the money; in the 23rd century of Pike and Kirk's time, the Federation definitely still used money and money was specifically referenced in many a TOS episode.
No, sorry. As far as I'm concerned Voyage Home trumps any joking reference or popular saying used in TOS.
What in the world makes you think Scotty has depression?
But... But, in TOS S2 - "Metamorphosis"; it was clearly stated that Zefram Cochrane lived in a colony on Alpha Centauri...
So how did he get radiation poisoning if he lived for so long another planet?
At the risk of giving an over-serious answer to a joking comment...he obviously moved to the colony sometime after he invented the technology that allowed Earth to found the colony.
Are "beard" and "moustache" in Englisch mutually exclusive?
In German "Bart" means all types of facial hair and then you specify from there ("Vollbart" - full beard, "Schnurrbart" - moustache, "Spitzbart" - goatee). So saying "Magnum has a magnificent beard" would be precise enough in German.
Does "beard" in Englisch always mean the full face has to be covered?
In this case - yes, of course I meant "moustache".
The Ringship came before the NX-01. We see a picture of it in the pilots bar flashback in "Enterprise"
Yeah, another one of those pesky American things ...
Beard on the chin
Mustache below the nose.
Isn't that also mostly considered to be a civilian transport?
I don't consider TAS as canon so I would be okay with that. Don't think of Lower Decks as canon either but for some reason I feel like Prodigy is canon I do also want Tom Hanks to do Trek someday and he to would be a good April but even if not April you can have him many other rolls. Make him that famous Admiral Roddenberry you see on all on the ship plaques.
The designers clearly looked at TOS a great deal while doing this show, and while they rethought and enlarged everything (conceptuall and literally), they work a lot of little visual homages into the sets and props that are enjoyable for folks like me. Here's one:
Everything that's exclusively created for this show looks absolutely fucking fantastic TOS-like.
The uniforms. The sets. The shuttle (outside & the 3-Windows cockpit from inside), the phaser/medical props.
Really the only thing I dislike is the big Enterprise CGI model. Interestingly I saw some fanart of the same model, just with a white hull colour, and it looked great. Sadly I don't find it anymore...
Morrissey has fans even in 2259.
Did I mention Pike will cry?
