Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[Tuskin38]

That's actually a thing? I thought that thread we had in our TOS forum was just silliness.

Yes? I thought that was well known.

According to someone in the comments, there is a description of the bridge in 'The Making of Star Trek' from '68 that does describe the turbolift being directly behind the captain.

So it's possible they tested it at one point, but preferred it being over the captain's shoulder. Probably made for a better filming angle when people were exiting it.

How many degrees is the cat's head in your avatar?

Close enough.

 

[B.J.]

And why isn't Patrick wearing a sombrero?

Oh no, not again.

Is that SpongeBob commercial pretty new? I just saw it on Pluto TV and it was quite fun. Nothing special or anything, but I like the randomness of the crossover.

Just a few days old.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Nah. A year can be one season or ten.

One season could be a 24-hour Earth day.

 

[Noname Given]

Holy shit, he's going on about the bridge being offset at 36 degrees. That's actually a thing? I thought that thread we had in our TOS forum was just silliness.

Oh, it's most definitely a thing and has been debated since fans started making their own blueprints in the 60s and again when the original STAR TREK Technical Manual and official 1701 blueprints (I still have my original copies of each bought back in 1975) became available.

[CorporalCaptain]

Brilliant!

It's both way too big and yet somehow will fit inside a Borg cube. And, oh, yes, there will be a Borg cube at some point.

You know it's going to be Pineapple shaped.

More likely ...

"WE ARE THE KAST OF KRABS, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, YOU WILL BE BOILED"

Cross discussion from the Litverse section.

But the official spelling for La'an's name might be with the second A being capitalized.

Nearly every article on the official website that mentions her capitalizes it, every twitter post I can find from CBS/Paramount that mentions her capitalizes it (posts from before and after the show started), and James Swallow said he was requested to write it that way in his new book. A previous novel also used it.

the Paramount+ Press page also capitalizes it

"Christina Chong as La’An Noonien-Singh,"

Edit: I just checked the subtitles on Paramount+, and it's the same there.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

I'm not sure how I feel about that, it just looks...wrong.

I don't remember if any of the graphics that showed her name were in all caps or not.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I'm on team La'an.

Only one I can remember is the PADD from S1E1, and it was in all caps.

I think all the computer screens are usually written in all caps.

I wonder if her mother, Sa'an, is also intended to be the same. But the only source of her name is the same PADD from Episode 1, so hard to say.

Teal'c. Hm. Guess not.

OK, I gotta ask.

When folks make their burgers, do they not... mix the onion into the burger patties before cooking them?

 

[cooleddie74]

I don't. Onions are always separate, if I even use any.
