This Side of Paradise and Pike
- Thread starter Control Voice
- Start date
As long as we're on the subject of Trek ignoring miracle cures it's established, what about the transporter? Transporters could be amazing for medical treatment -- if you can edit someone's pattern in the beam to filter out disease organisms or deactivate weapons, then it should be possible to edit an injured or failing organ back to a healthy state, replace a lost limb, etc. Trek writers so rarely consider the potential of transporters for more than transportation.
I wrote a fanfic where McCoy finds out, much to his chagrin, that he has to have his new tonsils removed, too.
Leila Kalomi is about due to turn up and meet Spock...I can totally see that happening in SNW season 3.
I mean, TSoD takes place in 2266, Leila met Spock 6 years before that, and I believe SNW has now reached 2260, so...?

They should leave that alone.
Meh, it could work.
I'm liking the suggestion that Leila had an unrequited crush on Spock after they met but otherwise they didn't actually get involved.

The CBS/Paramount shows already wallow in nostalgia to a sickening degree. I don't need every character that appeared in TOS to appear in SNW.
Having the parallel of both of them in alternate pairings would be an exploration - Chapel's relationship that took, until Korby was tragically lost, and Spock's, that didn't, until later when spores intervened,
I doubt he was there long enough for his tonsils to grow back. He was only under the spores' influence for maybe a day or so. It's not magic -- even if the spores could restore a body to perfect health, it would take time for the body's metabolic and cell-growth processes to complete the work. By analogy, even the implausible fountain-of-youth energies on the Ba'ku planet in Insurrection only gradually regenerated Geordi's eyes over the course of a few days.
Actually they did grow back:
KIRK: I've heard that word a lot lately. Perfect. Everything's perfect.
MCCOY: Yeah. That's right. That's just what it is.
KIRK: I'll bet you've even grown your tonsils back.
MCCOY: Sho'nuf. Hey, Jim boy, y'all ever have a real cold Georgia-style mint julep, huh?
Oh, I forgot that part.
Surely someone's written up a list at some point of everyone whose lives Kirk has (allegedly) ruined?
There's a whole comic series putting Kirk on trial. Quite interesting follow up.Surely someone's written up a list at some point of everyone whose lives Kirk has (allegedly) ruined?
Thank you, CLB and "Cap'n Claus"; just seeing this thread, I knew that quite some time ago, somebody had publicly suggested Omicron Ceti III as a possible source of healing for Pike, but couldn't remember who or where.
I've read it.
I was a little disappointed that in the end they dodge the question, IIRC.
Not really. They explore the consequences of his coming, how there was eventual peace on Eminar VII once they got over being at war again. Kirk saves the Klingon ambassador's life, and remarks how despite his more physically frail appearance compared to others he gets things done. Maybe not the best way, but with results.I've read it.
I had a similar thing happen with the DC Comics adaptation of Star Trek III written by Mike W. Barr. In the scene where David tells Saavik that he used protomatter in the Genesis matrix, he explicitly says that his mother knew nothing about it. For years I remembered that line of dialogue being in the movie because I'd read the comic far more than I'd rewatched the movie.

I'm certain that they won't. SNW doesn't really pass up any chance for Spock to get emotional.
I've only seen a few film clips of SNW, but my impression is that they never miss a chance to put Spock in a relationship with a hot chick. From J.J. onward, Spock seems to be all about the sex, with no ponn farr required.
