Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Kirk was never stationed on Pike's ships, and Pike was some 30 years his senior. If they're going canon at all, it'll be a cameo. At the same time, if they're going canon, Pike was the second Captain of the Enterprise, held the role for 15 years, and Spock was there for the last 11 of those.
If they're going canon.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
I remember reading a paperback book on when Enterprise was commissioned and went on a secret mission against the Romulans with Robert April and Pike. Well before Kirk.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
That's why I find the very idea to be troublesome. I wonder how they'll handle it. It'd have to be something like them indirectly crossing paths before their first official meeting. Maybe they'll avoid meeting face-to-face. The idea of having access to Kirk though just feels like it'd be too much of a temptation for them.
They're already playing fairly loose with canon in Discovery. When SNW was announced, I was hoping that they'd just deal with Pike's command of the Enterprise and not touch any of Kirk's era at all. There's plenty to do there without invoking Kahn's wrath

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
It's been a while since I've seen The Menagerie, but I think they'd met prior to that, so there was no detailed 'first official meeting.' That leaves a little flexibility.

They have ships that travel faster than light, but the best they could do for Pike was a friggin’ chair with a goddamn light on it that blinked once for yes and twice for no?

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Alternative Canon maybe
But it's all based on direction they want to take things. The current powers that be, from the movies to the TV series, have shown that they're selective in what they consider canon. They'll only ever adhere to canon if it suits them.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Damn straight! Now if that movie were made today, Pike would be asking why he wasn't invited to the Horse Party. Could just picture him hanging back and saying, "Hey, what about me, guys? Sorry, I'm a little late to the Party. But I sure do love horses. Just ask Colm Meaney."

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
I'd been wondering a lot about the timeframe between Pike and Kirk and the time that Kirk takes command of the Enterprise. I found a great video that summarizes it. Apparently, by the time Strange New Worlds airs, Pike would already have been in command of the ship for more than 10 years. Boiling it down, the show is set in 2260, Kirk takes command in 2265. This means we could technically see Kirk do everything established that hasn't been seen on screen, ie his time on the Farragut, his meeting of Carol Marcus, and he doesn't even have to cross paths with Pike until he takes over.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
So they are going for a 5 year show instead of a typical 7? I suppose they could ignore the way time passes and say 5 years have passed when its 7 years later.
Also have they stated this Kirk is from Pike's universe? Could he be from another alternate one and only be part of the show occasionally or even once? I mean Anson is SUPER popular.
If they switch to Kirk in command Ill be proud I didn't watch it lol. Dont need to see that era..we have. Id rather see Pike stay the entire time and his accident never happening.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
There's nothing said about how long they'll go for, but I guess it could be technically implied just on the basis on the 5 year gap between Pike and Kirk. Also, with a TV show, they can always stretch it out. That gives them a little breathing room.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Also in TOS the Enterprise is on a "five year mission." If I had to guess they're going to say that Pike is taking the Enterprise on a five year mission which concludes in 2065 when Kirk takes over and starts a new five year mission.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
That's kind of what I figured from the start. If they're following canon, it's the only way it would work. Of course, we could see events from Kirk's career leading up to him taking command of the Enterprise.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
I just dont understand why. Just either set this new show back further in Pike's career or just stay with it. I want an Anson Mount captain Enterprise and I dont want it anything else. Course knowing me I wont see it anyways as I wont pay for it. No free money.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Yeah, ideally that's what I'd want too. Having Kirk in it is something they're likely doing to draw new subscriptions though, but I imagine it might be annoying to Anson Mount after being given his own spinoff. What's next, they're going to spin off this show into a Kirk show? Oh.. wait.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
I get the sense that a lot of studio executives are terrified to make something that ventures too far from something that was made before that made money. "Oh, people liked a show about the Enterprise going on a five year mission exploring strange new worlds with Spock, right? Let's do that. What else did it have - Kirk? Let's have him too."Daehawk wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:00 am I just dont understand why. Just either set this new show back further in Pike's career or just stay with it.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Two things about this trailer bother me.
1. I HATE hate hate seeing a ship like a heavy cruiser just sitting in atmosphere. They belong in space damnit
2. I dislike aliens that say something like "This site is sacred" then start shooting. They have NO idea how powerful or weak the one they are shooting at is. And Im tired of seeing Starfleet weaker than aliens. I hope to see Pike shoot holes in that type alien until they decide to talk it over after all.

Spock’s hair bothers me more. I want him to have a full mullet. Maybe perm the back of it, while they’re at it. I want a Spock who’s business in the front, but a party in the back.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Having Starfleet weaker than (or only the equal to, or outnumbered by) many aliens is what has always kept Star Trek from being an action series. They have to use ingenuity and diplomacy rather than just blasting holes in things. It keeps it from getting boring when they encounter alien after alien.

Come to think of it, it does look off doesn't it? I don't know what it is exactly. It looked fine in Discovery. But here it kind of looks flat, or like he's just gotten out of bed.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
I liked the premiere a lot. To dissect it I'd need to view it again and I'm not sure if I will. But it's very cinematic (in a good way, for a premiere). The characters seem interesting and worthy of development, specifically the secondary ones (in contrast to Discovery).
The Enterprise sets are visually interesting and have a familiarity without triggering a "That's not my Enterprise!" reaction. When I saw the engine room the first thing it reminded me of was The Motion Picture, which I thought was really cool. The theme music was unexpected, but I think I like it.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Better than “no one”.
I think they learned their lessons from the first season of Discovery and are incorporating more of the classic Trek approach found in the last few seasons of that flagship show. Which is good because Discovery has become a pretty darn good show in seasons 3 and 4.

Re: [Paramount+] Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
I think the idea is that Pike's brain is so far beyond contact that only binary answers are possible.
I mean, if they gave him a keyboard he could actually manage, the Fanfic would be Insufferable. (This is canon.)
Much prefer my Nazis Nuremberged.
