Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

It’s not so much ‘omission’ as it is ‘actor’s interests bleeding into the character.’ Like when Picard suddenly had an interest of driving fast and dangerous jeeps when he showed zero interest in that in over ten years that we got to know his character, because Stewart likes driving fast cars. I guess archaeology (which the character was very much into) got boring.

Is that the real reason we got the Argo Dune Buggy in ST:NEM?

To satiate Patrick Stewart's love of driving fast?

That’s what happens when you let the actors have creative control over the production.

That and the fact that the Director had no idea how to handle a Star Trek movie, since he had absolutely no interest in the IP beforehand.

That's why it feels so disjointed compared to the TV series.

If he sprinkled that in through-out the TV series, I could see it fit.

But they never mentioned JLP love of going fast.

Rock climbing Kirk

Remember. Picard wasn't driving the dune buggy. He was piloting it.

Water polo Archer was ALSO rock climbing Archer when he wanted to impress Captain Erika Hernandez.

 

[Yistaan]

Remember. Picard wasn't driving the dune buggy. He was piloting it.

If Picard wanted to get thrills driving dune buggies, nothing was stopping him from doing it in the holodeck instead of violating the Prime Directive. Yet all previous evidence indicated that Picard's idea of a good time was pretending to be Dixon Hill.

Picard also liked to ride horses. Also fencing though he didn't seem to do that in the holodeck.

I think the horse thing was mentioned in that episode where terrorists try to take over the Enterprise during a baryon sweep. However, he's never shown riding in TNG because Patrick was not a horse rider and in Generations Shatner had to help teach him about horse riding.

 

[cooleddie74]

He's shown preparing to ride a horse on the holodeck in "Pen Pals" and later we see his saddle in "Starship Mine." He doesn't ride onscreen until he goes into the Nexus in GEN.

 

[Tuskin38]

Well, Kirk showed zero interest in riding horses until Generations, where he was basically playing an idealized version of Shatner than Kirk.

Meanwhile in SNW we got Pike riding a horse because it was established in The Cage that he had two back home.

You’re saying that like there’s some kind of difference.

We saw his horse in The Cage, didn’t we?

 

[Tuskin38]

We saw his horse in The Cage, didn’t we?

We saw the two mentioned in the Talosian illusion, but the horse in SNW season 1 wasn't the same breed as either.

 

[fireproof78]

saw his horse in The Cage, didn’t we?

Yes, his horse Tango.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Yes, his horse Tango.

and Cash?

They just recasted the horse.

Picard was riding a horse on the holodeck in Pen Pals. Also, there's The Loss where Picard is trying to convince Riker to join him riding horses on the holodeck, even offering to program a "docile steed" for Riker to ride.

 

[Finn]

Do they look the same...mane, the tail, everything?

Edit. No. Dang it, they can't get it right!
