Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[The Wormhole]

Indeed, and given how massive and expensive the latest edition of the Encyclopedia released for the 50th anniversary in 2016 was, I imagine a new Chronology would be equally as grand, both in scope and price. Not to mention, I would think a new Chronology today would likely also have subsections dedicated to the Kelvin Timeline and probably even the Mirror Universe. I doubt many would want to spend money on this when they have all the information available for free on Memory Alpha anyway.

Back in the day, updates to the printed encyclopedia were (relatively) easy, as there was only one or two Trek shows going at any given time (if at all) and the occasional movie. Now, with the half-dozen+ active shows going on, I couldn’t imagine trying to keep all that shit straight, especially with the many canonical (ahem) adjustments we’ve seen in recent years.

They could just go all in with an official Star Trek Encyclopedia wiki. Not the half assed, poorly researched stuff they've done before but a proper one. Get Okuda to run it.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Agreed. Having it be an official extension of startrek.com. It would be a monumental undertaking, but worth it.

 

[Mudd]

They'd manage to piss off thousands of fans every day.

 

[cooleddie74]

Just like Trek itself.

And the down side?

 

[Mudd]

And the down side?

Those fans would come here and start topics.

Without paragraph breaks.

 

[cooleddie74]

As you said.

Some reference book showed that the Discoprise was between the Cageprise and the TOSprise, and people complained
They'd have to show the Disco Klingon stuff between the previous and following stuff as well...

Am I the only one who longs for another edition of the 'Star Trek: Chronology of the Future' by the Okudas?.

Only after the current crop of productions is done, and if Mike revises the end of Kirk's five year mission to 2270 in line with what Voyager established and moves TMP to 72 or 73, something Mike didn't do when he revised the Encyclopedia several years back.

And in the true Roddenberry spirit, they can make money off of it. The dry, basic text of the encyclopedia could be made available for any visitor to the site. But for a small monthly fee, you get access to character profiles, videos that specifically cover certain events or or story arcs. Behind the scenes info, etc. With new content added regularly!

Not seeing the problem.

Don't forget the 9 month time skip when they returned from the Mirror Universe.


It's not sloppy, people talk like that.

7 years is 'almost a decade' away.

This is the same mentality that leads to people thinking that, when a character says an event took place "two hundred years ago," it means that event actually took place exactly two hundred years before the episode.

Star Trek Into Darkness came out almost a decade ago. The Force Awakens came out almost a decade ago. see. it fits. it works. it's true

Over the weekend Star Trek: Strange New Words was honored by the Hollywood Critics Association with a special award and executive producer Henry Alonso Myers was there to accept, where he discussed how the show honors the legacy of Star Trek. The Star Trek Universe was also nominated for a couple of HCA Awards, but didn’t pick up any wins for the night...

Hell, right now a lot of people are talking about the "50 years of Star Trek..." when (if you go by the production of the pilot, its now 58 years, and really closer to 60.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Yeah, 50 (2016) came and went with a whimper. Parmaount/CBS/Viacom didn't really do anything of major significance for that rare benchmark. Probably because they were spooling up the merger business (not completed until 2019) and couldn't be bothered to decide who should do what. So they let it lapse with a couple of token merchandizing baubles and Blu-Rays that they were convinced would "please" the fandom. They know us so well, don't they?

55 (2021) also passed us by without much fanfare (that I noticed anyway). Here's hoping the 60th (2026) will have a little more thought put into it now that the merger dust has been given time to fully settle.

Sweet! Been waiting for this. Only 250 sets though? Ugh...

Harry Alonso Myers on the genesis of SNW: "In the first pitch document that we sent to the network… we opened with a question asking, “What if we just did Star Trek?” And they said, “Okay.”

I love it.
