Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[JoaquinSlowly]

Excellent. So we agree that surprise new family members happened only once before Burnham.

And before you claim again that this isn't what we were talking about:

You seem to believe that the words “unrevealed relative” can only mean that their very existence was an unknown quantity before their introduction. ‪‪I meant that the introduction of his relatives has always included a reveal, something ‪‪I have expressed repeatedly and many other posters have had no problem understanding.

And please don’t try to make it seem like I’m moving a goalpost by cherry picking and deleting entirely relevant portions of the quoted post to remove the context they provide.

The same post you just quoted in it’s entirety, with a portion at the end I put in bold now:

There is nothing ‪‪about Michael being Spock’s sister that is at all far fetched, or ridiculous. There is nothing about her that makes her any more unnecessary than any other Star Trek character, something that is just patently presposterous to say.

Spock having an unrevealed relative he never mentioned before we see them onscreen is 100% in character. And Sarek, who married two humans and has a Vulcan/human son, adopting a human child isn’t the slightest bit ridiculous, illogical, or far fetched, it would be again, wholly consistent with his character.

Michael being Spock’s sister doesn’t contradict anything, or strain logic or believability at all, without applying a standard that ignores literally every instance of Spock’s family and past that has ever come up in the history of Star Trek.

‪‪I’m now, and always have been discussing Spock keeping his family and his history private, setting a precedent that the introduction of Michael upholds, and in no way clashes with or contradicts.

That is what the words mean, and how an idiot like me understands them. The rest of your post doesn't contradict that.

I think we've both made our cases to the best of our abilities. I think it's time to rest our cases and let everyone else judge who is in the right. We should, I believe, get back to discussing SNW.

So supposedly we are going to see this graphic somewhere in SNW

Looks like it could be the Sickbay biobed readout aboard the Enterprise-B.

It's not the first time I see something that reminds me of Star Trek V's computer screens.

Nice homage. These are, to state the obvious, very consistent with the touch interface that Michael Okuda designed for the TOS-based films after ST IV, in color and shapes and layout. The corners of the boxes and buttons are at most slightly more rounded than that style.

Don't know where they'll use it, but the middle section of the graphic references the TOS biobed overhead diagnostic screens:

 

[Belz...]

I prefer those to the layouts of TNG, myself.

The top line is shows 2022 and 2023. 2022 has readouts; the 2023 elements are dark.

I hope this is not an omen.

Time travel some 30 years into the future?

 

[cooleddie74]

That's definitely a 1701-A and 1701-B Era medical display.

 

[Noname Given]

Just think of it like a Microsoft OS.

Microsoft often returns to previous elements in their 'new' OSes.

 

[Tosk]

The ship exterior (arguably) now skews closer to the movie era, I'm not surprised to see other design elements do the same.

 

[mdtauk]

It's as if the thinking is, the Refit Enterprise is what the original would have been with more budget and longer design phase. The Phase II designs show the middle ground between the two.

Spock is so private he barely even talked about his inner turmoil when V'Ger was in telepathic proximity to him. And that was a mission where Spock spilling the beans about all that was happening inside his mind would have been fairly helpful.

Spock weeps for V'Ger as he would his sister... if only she wasn't classified information. Or would he weep for his brother... well, technically his half-brother.

 

[cooleddie74]

Nobody wept for Sybok. He knew good and well what he was doing.

Maybe Voyager VI is a distant ancestor of Spock's.

Kirk did say in the transporter room confrontation in "This Side of Paradise(TOS)" that Spock was related to a computer or had more in common with one than with a feeling being.

I almost posted that.
