The Bloop posted:There's talk of interspecies babies being all but impossible on Enterprise, so they're are advancements maybe by the time Spock is born? Should he already be born? Spock was born a century later. In Enterprise they try to medically assist and engineer a hybrid pregnancy and nearly get there and are all 'it should be possible now if anyone wants it'

The strategy alien's talking about how he doesn't like Riker because he's such a jokester and a loose cannon but that characterization's pretty weak.

I was expecting the Ferengi attack to still be part of the simulation and the strategy alien would reveal he paid them off.

Jeb! Repetition posted:Most of [The Emissary] was dull and predictable except the part where Worf wanted to get married, and the part where he commanded the enterprise to fool the Japanese Holdout Klingon soldiers without ever technically lying to them, which ruled. How dare you sir that episode is one of the best  Final act aside (and it did indeed rule), I liked the fact that she had to be packed into a coffin-sized probe because it's the only thing in the entire federation fast enough to get there before poo poo kicks off. it's a well developed story and I'll brook no further argument

Dude looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. I'm still pretty sure this is how the pilot's going to go, and the trailer only further reinforces it: - Burnham is first officer on the Shenzhou under Michelle Yeoh's captain - Yeoh tells her she's ready to spread her wings, and has her reassigned to Discovery, the newest ship in the fleet, under Captain Lorca - Lorca bites it in the pilot episode and Burnham is thrust into the captain's chair - Throughout the season the Shenzhou checks in on / babysits Discovery (since Yeoh's role is said to be recurring, not starring)

He has 112 credits on IMDB and to my personal knowledge he has played a good guy in five of around eighty of those.

It's not far enough to the side that it's clearly supposed to be asymmetrical (like the closure of the maroon jackets from the movies). It's just exactly far enough from the center to look like the person has it on crooked.

I really hope Jason Isaac's sticks around the whole time doing captain stuff just because the "another white hetero cismale captain!" Reddit screeds would be hilarious after all this build up. I also think that a show where the main character is the second-in-command just sounds a lot more interesting than "she was number one, but then the captain died so she's basically captain now." I've talked before about how I hate the cult of "the captain" in Trek and I don't think making the main character "acting captain" is any sort of way to get around that. They pulled that poo poo in JJ Trek and it was my least favorite part of the whole movie. Plus making the main character a new commander who gets dumped into the leadership role in a tense conflict area is basically what DS9 tried doing and they just gave up and made him the captain after two seasons anyway. If our main character is CO or acting CO for any length of time, it's pretty much garaunteed that we'll get a few episodes of her "learning on the job" and after that she'll be indistinguishable from "the captain" and the whole thing will just feel like a bait-and-switch. I guess it could work, but it still sounds pretty tedious. If Isaacs has to die, I'd much rather it be at the end of the season than the beginning, because a show where the XO is the main character instead of the captain sounds way more interesting than what we're likely to get.

Man, Sisko earned that goddamn promotion to Captain rank. He was the command figure anyway, DS9 was just supposed to be some shithole posting for him to wrap up his career at, and then a trailhead for exploring through the wormhole, and THEN--

FWIW, Bryan Fuller did say way back when that his intention was for it to be the first Trek series that wasn't from the POV of a captain... whether that holds true, we'll see, I guess.

The best solution would be to casually include that Captain Isaacs is trans two years in and watch the other half's rage melt the internet.

Timby posted:Keep in mind, as well, that Sulu and company are only on the Enterprise in Wrath of Khan for training purposes (and in cut footage, Kirk says that Sulu's due to take command of the Excelsior in three weeks), and obviously in III and IV they're on the lam so no one's getting any new assignments. It's The Final Frontier and arguably The Undiscovered Country where things get cocked up, as everyone's right back where they started even though there should have been some progression -- Chekov was a first officer in Khan and now he's back to being the navigator / security chief, Sulu's back at the helm until taking over Excelsior between movies, Uhura's still all "hailing frequencies open, Captain," etc. I mean, poo poo, in the last two movies the Enterprise has three captains on it (and then Scotty is mysteriously back to being a commander in Generations). I just assumed that after IV the Enterprise crew got the same treatment Kirk did. "Welp we can't punish them for their many many crimes after they saved Earth because the public will crucify us, so we'll just reassign them all to the Enterprise and make it sound like a reward, that way they're at least all contained on one ship in dead-end careers and aren't a danger to the rest of the fleet." *reasoning immediately validated as the entire Enterprise crew decides at the drop of a hat to follow a crazy Vulcan prophet on his quixotic quest to find God in the center of the galaxy*

I have a theory for why it took so long for Sulu to receive a promotion. In Search For Spock, after they steal the Enterprise, Kirk tells them "I intend to recommend you all for promotion, in whatever fleet we end up serving". My theory is that he followed through with that sometime after they finally made it back home. But because the promotion was tied up in illegal activities (stealing the Enterprise and blowing it up), the promotion was put on hold until Starfleet Command greenlit it and allowed Sulu to become a captain.

Well I'm watching it. I assumed the jungle at the start was the holodeck so I was confused for a second as to why Geordi was so worried about Riker's injury, or how he could have been injured.
