Dang I was actually near that truck today but forgot. I'm not too bummed about missing the tie-in promotion, but it was hot and I was craving ice cream and that would've helped me justify it.

Payndz posted:I suppose they have to do it sooner or later, since Kirk clearly knew Pike pretty well (if not as closely as Spock), and Spock and Kirk need to have time serving together to become besties. As soon as season 2 is a bit surprising though. Once he's done with The Boys, he'll probably be in the right age range relative to Ethan Peck and Paul Wesley to portray a proper TOS-era McCoy too.

From what I've heard, Antony Starr is not the kind of person you want to work with twice.

holefoods posted:If I have any complaint about the sets it’s one that I think carries across all of the nu-Trek shows and it’s that I don’t really have a good sense of how the ship is laid out. I can imagine myself on the original Enterprise, the D, Voyager, I would know how to get around them. I never had a sense of how Discovery is laid out and connected and so far that sense has continued to the SNW Enterprise. I think it feels way more inviting than Discovery and the sets are beautiful. Maybe this is just a weird complaint that’s specific to me or something that’ll be alleviated as we see more of the ship. I don't have any better sense of the spaces in the classic shows than the nu ones, it's just the old ones had more reused sets and less CG spaces. The rooms themselves also just looked like rooms, nutrek rooms look like SciFi Spaces. The logic of the space was still made up, I vaguely recall an animation of some folks entering an elevator and the insane route it would take to get wherever it was supposed to take them according to where the destination was on a technical schematic or whatever of the ship.

It was incredibly telling when basically the whole cast of The Boys was asked at a press conference "Who's the most like their character?" and they all practically in unison without need for a second thought went "Antony!"  He also beat the poo poo out of a waitress and might have to do time in jail soon for it

I Am Fowl posted:Genuinely, he'd be great as your classic TOS-era captain/admiral gone space-mad. I nominate Starr as Captain/Commodore Decker, especially if they roll through doing a remake of TOS. He can do both the hot shot up and coming captain part, as well as the broken by grief for his crew shell of a man as he meets his end. An interesting dynamic for SNW to use as a long-term thing is a rivalry between Pike and Decker. If Pike doesn't end up in the beep-boop chair, does he get the promotion to commodore ?

It just doesn't fit the show. You know what? I bet SNW can pull of cursing just fine and the only reason it sucked over 6 seasons of NuTrek is because those were 6 poorly written, poorly directed, and poorly acted seasons of terrible television.

SNW has cleared the hurdle that no other live action modern Star Trek has yet; I will watch it again some day. I can feel the characters growing on me and it's easy to embrace the cheese when it's in service of an actual good episode of TV. I like TOS, and I view it as a product of the time when it was made. I don't think it needs to be erased, but making a new show that's good doesn't really erase it, even if the timeline or details don't match up. TOS didn't care about that stuff and I don't think we should either. If the show keeps being good then they should just keep making it, canon be damned.
