"There were fine people. On both sides."

 

[fireproof78]

Heroes on both sides too. Evil everywhere.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

 

[Lord Hierarch]

I'm big enough to be on both sides.

I love how they're changing Chapel's hairstyle every season. The bangs suit her.

But when are they going to give her the TOS haircut? Canon awaits!

 

[The Wormhole]

Canon be damned.

In TOS.

Christopher Pike, the "Galloping Gourmet" of Starfleet.

Christopher Pike, the "Galloping Gourmet" of Starfleet.

Heh ... I use to rush home at lunchtime from school (we lived a couple of blocks from my elementary school) to be able to watch Graham Kerr's show every day back then.
I'd usually have to run like the devil back, because The Galloping Gourmet was a half hour show and I'd have about 5 minutes to get back for afternoon attendance.

Oh those fun days of being a latchkey kid.

 

[Jayson1]

In TOS.

Okay the haircut can wait. But we do need to see how Scotty looses part of his finger or canon will be destroyed!

Scotty has all his fingers. James Doohan did not.

 

[cooleddie74]

Can confirm. Shook Doohan's hand in 1992.

 

[HotRod]

Canadian Bad Ass.

At least most us I know agree that if we don't see Dr Piper take his position as CMO then it will be a slap in the face of all fandom! We have been waiting years for more Piper. Time for them to give it to us!

I’m kind of liking this M’Benga, though. He has some amazing character depth and backstories, compared to his woefully underused TOS version. The subplots with his daughter and Klingon War PTSD have been brilliantly done.

 

[Jayson1]

I like M'Benga as well. But he still has to head to Vulcan eventually and shave his beard then come back to work under Bones. Which in itself makes for a interesting story IMO. Why did he leave and why did he come back . Maybe they will explore that in the shows final season.

 

[137th Gebirg]

I have every confidence that the writers of this show will figure it out, should they choose to explore that thread. They've done pretty damn good so far, IMO. If they do go that route, I would suspect that his TDY to Vulcan will involve finding a cure for his daughter in some way. What happens with that will be anyone's guess. Perhaps someone at the Vulcan Medical Institute discovered some possible new kind of treatment that will directly help M'Benga find a cure, prompting him to contribute his own research that he's been conducting for the past several years. Could be a cool side-story away from Enterprise for a season or two.
