Oh, that's cool. I'm on the tail end of season 1 of Discovery now and loved Anson Mount in Hell on Wheels. Now I'm looking forward to season 2 and the new series!

Another prequel!!! The main problem with this is we already know the fates of the main characters. I get the fealing this show will continually foreshadow Pike's fate rather than do anything interesting. Hopefully though, this will be more episodic like TOS or TNG and be more reminiscent of the feel of thos shows rather than have season long storylines.

As for knowing the fates of the characters, we know the fate of Pike and Spock, and that's it. So at the least, we won't have to deal with dumb plots about either of them being in danger. But we don't know Number One's fate, nor any other of the crew. So, we get to see Pike and Spock become the men we know, and we get to explore new characters. I'm darned excited for this one, far more than the next season of Disco. |

I’m cautious about getting excited for any new Star Trek. What I’ve seen of this version of Pike I like though. If this is done in more of an episodic classic Star Trek style I’ll give it a shot. That promo has me hopeful.

Bring it on!!!!

re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount +) -- News and Rumors
Hallelujah!!!
I do hope it's more episodic than a season long arc. |

They do make the comment about being a more hopeful kind of Trek, so that's a good sign there.

Number One is Majel Barrett from the original TOS pilot episode The Cage. That’s all she’s referred to by. She didn’t reappear until Discovery as far as I know (she may have been in some novels but I’m not sure).

re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount +) -- News and Rumors
this happened all because of Mount and how he portrayed that character. he's got to be fucking pumped right now.
|
re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount +) -- News and Rumors
It’s also another way to use the character of Spock more, which I’m sure worked in favor of the show being picked up.

Great news! I hope that it takes place post-Disco S2 rather than being set before that.

More Trek Shows :up:

we’ve got approximately 7-8 years before we bump into Kirk time so we could get several seasons of stories done, there’s no real need to go backwards in time (barring a few flashbacks here and there).

Another vote for more episodic.
|
re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount +) -- News and Rumors
With the subtitle "Strange New Worlds," I would assume that we're going to get a more episodic, monster/planet/dilemma-of the week like TOS and TNG. I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of underlying arc structure (think Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but that's to be expected these days.
One thing I would like to see -- though I'll be shocked if they do it -- is to use an updated design of the TOS Klingons (make-up and costumes) if they have them appear in the series, sort of how they did the Tellarites and Andorians in DSC. Also might be interesting if they had a young Ensign Scott in Engineering, but that would probably get folks crying "fan service." :lol: |
re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount +) -- News and Rumors
I think in canon Spock is the only person who was a member of the Enterprise crew under Pike and stayed on board when Kirk became Captain. I’d love if we got alien designs that were closer to TOS instead of constant updates.
Really hoping that this series will have self contained episodes. If not I don’t think I’ll watch it. |
re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount +) -- News and Rumors
Given I'm not paying for CBS All Access, won't be seeing this until it's released on Blu-ray, but like Mike, only if it's more episodic.
