Scotty would already be 37 in Season 1 of the new series. By the time he'd surface he'd be even closer to 40. He was the oldest of the main characters on TOS.

I thought Bones was the oldest?
A clip for 0103 is up. A little more on the "I'm a genius" scene.
Could it be.....a transporter shenanigan episode?

People always say things like that, but really, on nearly every TV show you know the main cast is always going to have a "positive" outcome and that there's no real risk to them. The only time there's a chance of anything different is if the actor is leaving and that is always made public well in advance of the episode airing. Even shows which have a high turn-over rate among their main cast like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead usually only write characters off in certain key episodes like the premieres, finales, or midseason stories. You still go through a majority of the episodes knowing everything will turn out okay.
Nope. McCoy was the second-oldest. He was born in 2227. Scotty was born in 2222.
Ion Storm creating interference? Sounds like Star Trek
So far...I like Strange New Worlds so much that I immediately watch it again after first seeing it. And then again the following day. I do the same with Lower Decks, too.
I can't say that I have done with Discovery or Picard. I honestly think there's something to be said about adhering to the an episodic format; with a beginning, middle, and end. It just feels so complete and satisfying. I feel like I've actually gotten somewhere.

Until now the only CBS Trek I've made a habit of repeatedly rewatching as a lump collection of episodes was Season 1 of PIC. SNW is so far guaranteeing I'll be doing the same for it.
They're shorthanding a fair amount of that stuff, since we know and expect it by now. An approaching ship is not necessarily worth a dramatic beat in and of itself.
This show really does assume that the viewer knows all about Star Trek.
Good. We don't need eight pages of exposition for every species that shows up. Do what TOS did and give us just enough to understand what's going on in the context of that episode.
SNW is great. LD did all of that, already.
pretty insulting
If people are fans of this or any other new shows and have twitter it wouldn't be a bad idea to comment on Alex Kurtzman and other creative's timeline and tell them or show them some love. Just happened to see some suggested tweets from Kurtzman and pretty much every comment on all his posts is a personal attack. People are even attacking Strange New Worlds and blaming him for ruining it. I haven't seen anything positive.
The reason for that is D&D ran out of books (well, not really - Season 5 was based upon books, but they ignored a lot of it and did what they wanted).
Still, in the book series, characters serve a story role, are allowed to make big mistakes, and then die for those mistakes (which is why the deaths seemed "shocking" - people aren't used to consequences for main cast TV characters). But once they weren't constrained by what GRRM's vision was, they could continue along fan favorites until they just ran out of story and unceremoniously ended them - which is what TV typically does.
Hey, Spock was obviously carrying the Science/Medical Tricorder 'combo pack'.
These SNW tricorders are one of the best Trek props of the past thirty years. Damn, are they beautiful.
