Crusader posted:given this is post-temporal cold/hot war, you could justify showing his ultimate fate in the kevlinverse; e.g. eventually starfleet time agents were able to find the right timestream he landed in blahblah and for historical completeness recorded the rest of his life and returned to the main timeline... hell, you could unify the whole kelvinverse that way really I quite like this idea.

Clem’s back in the 23rd century, so the only real way he can appear now is if he pops up in Strange New Worlds.

If this season really is Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek: Andromeda, then they should go full 'Rommie and just have Ash's N'th-level grandson show up and he just looks exactly like Disco Ash. It's how they got Steve Bacic back on Andromeda after they killed his character in the pilot

You know, given how violent, subjugatory, and expansionist the Klingon Empire is outright stated to be across basically all of Star Trek, I'm surprised its taken up to Discovery to even obliquely touch on the fact that "Klingon" is probably an umbrella term for a whole melting pot of conquered races, many of whom have probably by now been irreparably borked genetically thanks to generations of Klingon inbreeding or some poo poo. Like how everyone in the Roman Empire was a "Roman" no matter where they lived, or how Ghengis Khan is the ancestor of like 0.5% of all humanity because he and his sons were that prodigious rapists. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Oct 27, 2020 |

They kinda did that with the Romulans, but I hadn't connected it with how the Romans became like that.

Alchenar posted:Mirror Soong made people who act like androids (I have no idea if a book did this or something, but it's obvious evil-Spiner) Soong’s grandfather, Arik Soong made a bunch of super humans because he was an rear end in a top hat and he really admired Khan, only whoops, they all went crazy so the NX-01 Enterprise had to swoop in and blow them all up. He then went “gently caress this, Imma do robots instead, but it’ll probably take until my grandson or something before one actually gets made WINK WINK DO YOU SEE HOW CLEVER I AM AUDIENCE, said the writer.” And it was just Brent Spiner in a tweed jacket. So yes, you were more correct than you thought.

Well, not everything has a direct correlation, though I'll bet the Romans treated some slaves that bad. That's just reminded me that for a short while the Romulans were ruled by a human clone that lived on Remus (and, never forget, played by Tom Hardy of all people). Now that's multiculturalism!

Erulisse posted:What are remans then, romulan inbreeding with dogs that evolutioned into a race of moon slaves? According to The Lore, the Remans were the native species of what would become the Romulan capital star system. They just had the incredibly lovely luck to be born on inhospitable tidal locked hellworld instead of the beautiful garden paradise world that was so close they could literally see in the sky at night but has no means to reaching themselves. When the Romulans got kicked off of Vulcan and settled on Romulus, the first thing they did was conquer Remus too and made the Remans into their first vassal race. e: Actually apparently this hasn't been established anywhere in The Lore because Nemesis was so poorly thought out no one has bothered to go back to that well and try to paper over all the stupid choices done in the making of it, so that's actually just conjecture.

FlamingLiberal posted:The Remans haven't even really shown up outside of Nemesis They showed up on Enterprise briefly, and got a mention in Lower Decks, but yeah, that's it. That was one of the things that Picard dropped the ball on and apparently the Star Trek: Titan books, at least the first one look at was "Okay, let's examine the fallout from a literal slave race rising up and knocking the government of one of the most powerful and fascist entities in the Alpha Quadrant flat on its rear end." The Remans are actually a rather fascinating and possibly sympathetic race to explore and yet no one has figured out seemingly how to do it properly yet so, gently caress it they all died when Romulus exploded, I dunno.

Strong Convections posted:It's unclear, but I took it as they did give Reno something and she was correctly following orders to take it easy until they could give her proper care. When Culber shows up in engineering he tells Reno off because he'd told her to come see him if she was in pain (which is at least 2 hours after she initially started keeping an eye on Stamets) - so she's at least spoken to a doctor. I just find it very hard to believe her back is so put out that she's lingering around talking but not really doing. I know I could point to an equal amount of examples of people conveniently being out of commission in TOS vs a miracle drug fixing something serious so perhaps that's not the best direction to go. For me a lot of the drama seemed contrived or unnecessary. I thought the parasitic ice was lame when something more reasonable could have been just as effective. It's enough that they're crashed on an ice planet without knowing what the hell is going on without another doomsday clock ticking away; there's marauders, the ship is maybe sinking, life supports are failing. Plus it seemed like show's over the minute nightfall hits, but they still had time to sit around and chat after Tilly pointed out the sun went down. The ship's hull was audibly crunching under some of that ice weight, but it's going to go into space, then perhaps even Earth thru spore drive? Whatever, they'll be fine. I think I just find the show picks and chooses too much when the stakes matter, so after two seasons of the absolute worst happening to them in every episode I'm just worn out when the end of a season comes along. The phaser fight through the transporters was cool in the last episode because it was over the top but used existing tech in a way I hadn't seen before. But in this episode, everyone on the ship is pretty pissy about what's going on except Saru and Tilly, which is understandable but doesn't make for the kind of Star Trek I wanna watch. Often times I found the dialogue itself wasn't good enough to pull me through the ship storyline. Now with that said, I do wanna stress I mostly liked what happened in Saloontown. The Coridians were cautious but willing to have hope and ideals, and I actually felt sad when the one guy had his blue running down his face as he died in agony. The preview for next episode gives me cautious hope and ideals - I just hope my eyeballs don't bleed for it.

When the Romulans got kicked off of Vulcan and settled on Romulus, the first thing they did was conquer Remus too and made the Remans into their first vassal race. Fan lore for the Remans is weird since they were late additions to Trek canon and people had been writing Romulan backstory for literal decades before they showed up on the scene. I think in the more recent Spock novels written by Joseph Sherman and Susan Shwartz they establish that both Romulus and Remus were settled by the colonization fleet that left Vulcan, but the colonists who settled on Remus ended up separated from their brethren who settled on Romulus thanks to the difficulty of space travel during the initial stages of colonization, political differences within the exile community, and finally good old-fashioned biological mutation. The books establishing all this came out in 2006-7, and as such ended up being adopted as the "official" background for the Romulans and Remans by the modern novelverse and by Star Trek Online. Funnily enough, STO is the only Trek property that has actually tried to do much of anything with the Remans, with a few plotlines about the Remans trying to establish new lives for themselves after the fall of the homeworlds while trying to fend off the predations of the Romulan Star Empire as it grows more grotesque and inhumane in its death throes.
