Episode Seven sounds like it will be a transcript of a TrekBBS thread.

Well I think I already know which is going to be the worst of them.

Episode 10's title gives me an end of series vibe.

I hope not. Ending on an episode named after a phrase from the opening monologue hasn't worked out great so far.

The one with “time” or the one with “Vulcan”?

 

[Tuskin38]

They’re currently filming season 4

The Vulcan one.

Of course I could be completely wrong. Maybe it's only second worst!

 

[Tuskin38]

None of the titles scream murder mystery, so I wonder which one it is

 

[Saul]

They’re currently filming season 4, so it isn’t

Which is why I said "vibe".

That's the optimistic spirit Star Trek is known for! No matter the silver lining keep pulling the clouds in!

Was thinking the same thing.

I think we all have some kind of weird PTSD from "These Are The Voyages" - a similar kind of title originating from Kirk's opening monologue, associated with series "finality" and... other bad things.

Hey, for a guy who didn't like season 2, I reckon I was being fairly positive!

I didn't say any of the episodes would be bad, I just said one would be worse. Which is entirely subjective I know, but certain episodes tend to fall to the bottom of people's rankings.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

It makes sense if that's the Federation's 100th anniversary ep.

 

[DarrenTR1970]

I hate to say it, but thanks to the strike and the long wait between seasons, it's seriously dampened my enthusiasm for the upcoming episodes. I might just wait until the first reviews are in to decide whether or not to reactivate my subscription to Paramount+.​

I interpreted it as meaning we're going to see a handoff of the ship from Pike to Kirk.

 

[UssGlenn]

"Five year mission" should be the title of the first episode of Paul Wesley's Kirk series.

Episode 7 Part 2: Is Starfleet Military?

I think we all have some kind of weird PTSD from "These Are The Voyages" - a similar kind of title originating from Kirk's opening monologue, associated with series "finality" and... other bad things.

It'll turn out this show was just one of Tom and Harry's holodeck programs.

They may have been hedging their bets. Yes ST:SNW got it's S4 renewal order during S3 production; but at the time the writing room did the season 3 overview/outline of what stories/where, they didn't know they were greenlit for S4.

(Of course, like a few here, I too am reading a lot into that S3 Ep. 10 title. )

 

[Daedalus]

I interpreted it as meaning we're going to see a handoff of the ship from Pike to Kirk.

I suppose there isn't anything preventing that.

That can't happen at the end of season 3 because Mount is still in Toronto filming season 4.

That can't happen at the end of season 3 because Mount is still in Toronto filming season 4.

Season four is mostly Pike grabbing the arms of the chair and shouting "NO NO NO NO NO!"
