Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

I posted it already in the thread dedicated to casting.

Their source is an IMDb cast listing.

 

And where did IMDb get their information?

 

No one knows. IMDb is rarely a reliable source.

 

They sometimes get things right, which I think is the case of the actor or their agent/casting agency putting in the info.

The actress who played Kestra in Picard Season 1, she was listed as playing Kestra on IMDb months before the episode confirmed it. She showed up in a couple trailers, but none of those trailers actually named her character.

 

Exactly. The show had a TOS sensibility about it in that first year; less so in the second, but it was still kind of there. It was like the people behind the scenes hadn't worked on a show since the original series and so when they are brought back to do TNG, it was the only way they knew how to do it. There was still very much a camp to the show that first year which is more or less gone by the time the third season starts - which is when I think TNG became the-then modern Trek that we knew right up until the end of Enterprise.

 

Who knows, maybe we'll now find out the reason why Spock's parent's weren't at Spock's Pon Farr Ceremony 10 years or so later...

 

If I'm ever independently wealthy, I'm gonna' retire and do this.

Aren't there two seasons of a cartoon and 6 movies in between?

 

They're off in another universe.

 

I definitely hope not. There is just no way anyone will stand up to Arlene Martel.

 

Wasn't TAS not canon for a period before becoming canon? Regardless I watched TOS followed by TNG a few years ago too and TNG S1 definitely felt like TOS. I think I enjoyed the cheesiness more because of the lead in.

 

Yes. There's a small bit about it in the TAS Wiki. Basically came down to money, control and egomaniacal pissing contests, mostly instigated by Roddenberry (shocker!) trying to maintain ownership (read: profits) over his creation.

 

It's very important to me that Giant Spock Clone and the Megas Tu magic universe be official Star Trek canon.

 

^ also those shrieking alien dragon creatures.

 

If those are not canon then nothing is canon! It's all meaningless!

 

They are everywhere! XD

 

If Strange New Worlds starts out right after Discovery leaves for the future that would be 2258, and Spock would be 28 years old. That's a multiple of 7, might be the time to convert that betrothal to an official engagement?

 

Spoiler

The episode will be a story about how T'Pring and Amanda failed to get along; and as a result T'Pring, bars Mr Spock's parents from the Ponn Far ceremony (whenever it occurs)

 

I hear spin off idea.
