Yawn.
Yaawwnn.
Yawning intensifying.
Approaching maximum yawning. Lockjaw imminent.It just makes Space Seed amusing (and awkward).
Perhaps they'll classify La'an Noonian Singh like Discovery Season 2. No one shall mention her again, or face the penalty of deathCanon saved.
More like maximum lockjaw already reached.
Leave Janeway out of this.
I disagree with this. I like the less militaristic look with the rank stripes that Roddenberry and Theiss went for in the TOS uniforms - I miss the dashed half-stripes from those uniforms.
I don’t like it for militarism, I like it because it makes sense and it easy to discern by looking at it quickly. The TNG (and onward) rank pips are based on this scheme just using filled in and outlined dots instead of stripes.
Yeah, but the TOS stripes were just as easy to read, if not easier, and made at least as much sense. The only changes that I would make would be to use the simple straight stripes - TAS style - and maybe to change the color. I liked the silver stripes from the JJ-verse, but I really liked the copper stripes from the Kelvin uniforms.
Yeah, many posters have mentioned it. But it seems to fall on deaf ears.
I mean, when they all sit in the Briefing Room and talk about Khan we hear Kirk, McCoy and Scotty all rattle off facts about Khan Noonien Singh so it's clear that a whole lot of people in the mid-to-late 23rd century knew who he was in history. Before then he was just a South Asian man from about two centuries ago who was found in a pre-warp Earth sleeper ship. To be fair he could well have been anybody given the number of humans who cryofroze themselves in the 1990s and early 21st century.
So there's no contradiction whatsoever in "Space Seed."

McCoy: I was hoping for Sonny Clemons.
Probably for the best. He'd have just complained about a martini from a TOS Era food synthesizer. They weren't as accurate as TNG Era replicators.
Not a problem. McCoy found Boyce's stash.
It's also pretty reasonable they didn't recognize him on sight, given the outcome of his reign and the historical era. For example, The majority of people in the world could identify a photo of Hitler. Many, could recognize Stalin. But I'd wager the number of people who could identify Mussolini is pretty low by comparison.
True and he was just one of several supermen who seized power. And according to our heroes, not the worst of the lot.
As I mentioned in another discussion Josef Mengele was still alive within the lifetimes of a lot of posters here. How many people would recognize Mengele's photo from his days as a Nazi? Or Martin Bormann's if he weren't wearing his distinctive Nazi party uniform (or even IF he were)? Hell, there are probably millions of people around the world who can't identify Idi Amin and they made a major Hollywood movie about him.
Really, the writer seemed to be working from the instinct to make Trek seem plausibly contemporary by treating history from centuries past as somewhat obscure to people in the present day (and by "people" I mean the 1966 American television audience). The average person then would not have necessarily recognized Wyatt Earp if he walked into a grocery store despite his having a popular fame at that time far out of proportion to his historical importance.
Like almost everything that has to do with the digital age, Trek did not foresee a world in which almost any image or bit of visual information can be recalled from a network in a few seconds.
