Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[The Wormhole]

So this week's episode shows the usual story where the heroes are suddenly in an alternate universe and only 1 of them remembers the real timeline (in this case it seems to be M'Benga).

Where do you get the impression that it's an alternate universe? The only thing we know from the previews is that something has somehow changed the interiors of the ship and changed everyone's clothes and personalities, though M'Benga apparently keeps his personality and memory. All of this can have another explanation other than alternate reality.

All the more so once you factor in behind the scenes information revealing that

everyone has somehow turned into characters from the book M'Benga reads to his daughter.

The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is something like 20.1 miles per hour or 9 meters per second. Or so I’ve been led to believe.

cygnus-x1 is saying the last two episodes are called 'All Those Who Wander' and 'A Quality of Mercy'

Episode 9's title comes from 'The Ready Room', not sure the source of episode 10.

Babs Olusanmokun said we'll see a darker side of M'Benga in season 2 that is connected to a 'contentious relationship' with the Klingons.

 

[Kzinti]

Klingons.

BLEH we need less klingon in star trek not more
