That’s classy. Very well done. Every TOS episode should get a poster like this.
Once again someone didn't realize the 3 color divisions were present (just subtle) in the first pilot.
I only just noticed the poster has the Enterprise with flames coming out of its nacelles.
That's just awesome.
That's just awesome.
1965 sci-fi was all like: "THE FUTURE WILL BE SO BEYOND ALL YOU CAN IMAGINE RIGHT NOW. Except rocket plumes and exhaust trailing for miles. That won't ever change."
Its the sort of thing that used to crop up in the Gold Key comic. The "Star Trek" logo on the poster is also from the Gold Key comics.
Is that Peter Falk as Hemmer?
Good spot and yes, I think it is. That’s rather clever of them and Falk would actually have played a great Hemmer.
When my first episode ran, I of course taped it - and the second time I watched it, I turned the color off and watched it in black and white as I'd watched TOS as a child.
It's a bit mad that for all the flak the 2009 movie got for changing things, it's SNW that's full on changed characters like Nurse Chapel and that's meant to sort-of* be the same continuity as TOS.
*Eugenics Wars etc

SNW didn't change the timing of the Eugenics Wars. 1996 did.
Bad premise, there. Because context matters.
Technically the Romulan temporal agents trying to prevent the founding of the Federation changed the dates of the Eugenics Wars but if that's a synonym for "1996" then, hey, that works.
I mean... didn't TNG change the timing of the Eugenics war? Wasn't there a line in Space Seed about the Eugenics War being the last of our "great wars."
Then comes Encounter at Farpoint with the "post atomic horror" or WW3 being in the mid 21st century? Further cemented in place by First Contact.
SNW is only following TNG's example of Eugenics Wars = World War 3.

Damn 1996, messing with Canon, showing no respect for the Star Trek content that came before it. I should start a YouTube video shining a spotlight on what a heinous criminal 1996 is and how it ruined Star Trek for its flagrantly liberal approach to Canon. I hope Kurtzman gets fired because of 1996.
Yeah, I wasn't sure I had that quote right, but I didn't have time to check.
Regardless, my point still stands. Besides that one mention in Space Seed, and Khan mentioning 1996 in WoK, every other peice of the Trek franchise puts World War 3, and by extension, the Eugenics war, well into the 21st century.
No one on SNW is any more different to their original version than Chekov, Uhura and Scotty were to theirs in the Abrams movies.
