Amph "Hit it." - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds [Paramount+]

Well, let's be realistic- if Trek had the budget and access to the technology 40 years ago, plus the actors participation, they'd still be CG'ing Shatner, etc in as Kirk and co. to this day and would never have established any recasting precedent.

 

And now one for this obscure character...

 

Why doesn't Una look like Chapel? Why doesn't Chapel look like Una? Thanks a lot, NuTrek!

 

23rd century problems require 23rd century solutions.

 

Presumably the final adtier.

 

New trailer and poster, presumably in advance of First Contact Day:


I'm surprised that they put the biggest cast member in the back row.



That ship at the end- I'm assuming it's Orion, what with the spinning yellow circles being similar to the TOS scout ship:

 

My body is ready or some such.

 

This show looks great. Unfortunately it's on Paramount+. I just can't afford another streaming service. I might sign up for one month once the season is done and binge it and Discovery season 4.

 

That's sort of the situation with mostt streaming services these days- there's maybe 2 you stick with and everything else you rotate through as needed. I'm sticking with P+ because I did the annual, but then this is a good year to do it for me as of a few weeks ago since I needed to binge DIS S4 (now done), LD S2 (almost done), PRO S1.0 (just started) while PIC S2 (halfway done now) and Halo S1 (1/4th done) were airing at the same time, so there's enough overlap there to justify several months. SNW will just sweeten the pot for a little bit longer once PIC and Halo are done. And, of course, LD S3 & PRO Season 1.5 will be around later this year too. And this annual period will likely cover at least part of DIS S4 next year, if not DIS S4 & part of PIC S3, so, again, good timing.

Also the Trek shows have all been leaving Netflix over the past 6 months, with TNG leaving this month and DS9 being the last one standing until it leaves later this year. And since I'm watching DS9 with a friend, there's the added benefit there for my situation with the back catalog.

 

I think Quinto hit it a few times, particularly his line about “would you prefer I wander the halls weeping”

 

Also have to keep in mind that both the JJ and DIS/SNW versions of Spock are still younger, earlier versions of the Spock Nimoy played on TOS. So any perceived absent qualities can be things he grows into- especially things that are likely from experience (ie: I would see that twinkle as coming from bemusement at situations from the perspective of someone who has settled into their role after a few years at it). Quinto's version had to accelerate his development due to the timeline changes and events, so there was room for some of that without it being fully formed.

 

Definitely the same weaponry. Could just be Vulcan combat training or other action sequences happening on Vulcan. It being Pon Farr would require a larger time jump than i think we're expecting between DIS S2 (2258) and SNW S1, with Amok Time being set in 2267. It's definitely a SNW S2S3 event to anticipate, though (much like with Tuvok towards the end of VOY).

It'll be interesting to see how they'll handle that subject- so much of Amok Time is built around the secrecy and shame Spock has about it that if we were to see it again, earlier in the timeline, it would spoil the mystery moving forward. Maybe they'll just have an episode or two where Spock is away on Vulcan for an extended period of time off screen and hint at it without showing it.
