Star Trek: Strange New Worlds [SPOILERS]

Seemed like Scotty came over from the Farragut.

Lies! He appeared, full-formed, in the engine room accompanied by the whiff of Scotch and haggis.

I looked up the Arena script for funsies, Kirk refers to the Gorn captain as "a creature the Metrons call a Gorn" and "a creature apparently called a Gorn." Back on the Enterprise, they're having no trouble accepting the name Gorn and wondering if Cestus III really was a Gorn colony.

It's not outside the realm of possibility to say that Kirk is using that specific phrasing because the Gorn he's fighting looks and acts nothing like the other Gorn he's encountered before or seen pictures of.

"Will Hemmer's death lead to Scotty becoming a character on SNW?"

Showrunners are on record that Scotty will NOT be the NEXT chief engineer. They had fun referencing him being there in 2266 but he's not coming on next season.

Same people who said Spock wouldn’t show up on Disco and who said that Cumberbatch wasn’t Khan.

Time travel?

Could be holodeck like "these are the voyages...".
It says it's animation interacting with live-action.
Holodeck would allow for that.

No. Just.....no.

Dear god no.

Worst case scenario, it looks like the Cher "I've got you babe" video with Beavis & Butt-Head, in which case, it becomes "so bad it's good".

Neither is a serious iteration; both are 'memberberry-fuelled, self-referential karaoke versions of Trek.

Why not?

At least Lower Decks isn't half-bad.

Hmm, a way to do it without looking like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" would be to have it be time travel, and keep them on their respective bridges.
On Cerritos, it's animated looking out on an animated Enterprise.
On Enterprise, it's live-action looking out on a CG Cerritos.

The novel "Federation" had Kirk's Enterprise and Enterprise-D stuck in the same black hole, and Kirk pixelated Ent-D to preserve the temporal prime directive, and they communicated by text, and didn't give names.

Something like that.

Funny you mention that because I got that video in my recommendations for YT a couple days ago

Strange New Worlds makes Lower Decks look like one of those half-assed Hanna Barbera series that they crapped out every other month in the 60's and 70's.

This.

Dumbest fucking crossover idea ever.

You are.

I for one am excited for it, if just to fuck with Memory Alpha. If Lower Decks appears animated in parts of Strange New Worlds, then in the eyes of some fans that will make it canon that for a period in the 2380s everything looked like a cartoon for some reason, and in 10 years we'll have a novel explaining that it was part of some Q war.

Strange New Worlds is good enough that I'll give them faith to do a good job, and the Lower Decks team have too much reverence for the live action to sign onto a terrible idea, so I'll give it a solid chance.

Seeing that Frakes is directing the episode, I'm cautiously optimistic.

That's pretty much how they're going to do it.

Cerritos crew will come aboard Enterprise, and be their live-actors.

Then Pike will come aboard Cerritos and be a cartoon.

Thats what I assume. Some of the actors look close enough to their cartoon characters.

Come on musical episode!​

Good god.

Are you sure about that? Because this happened:



And this:


And then there was a novel:

The Transformers crossover might pip that one. Especially with the transforming Enterprise.

The TOS/X-Men comic is dumb fun.
The TNG/X-Men comic is an abomination.
I've heard the TNG/X-Men novel is even worse.

TOS/Transformers is so goofy, you can't really be mad at it.
It's like trying to be mad at the cat when he unwinds the paper towels.
Yeah, the paper towels are destroyed, but it's so goddamned adorable.

They didn't transform the real Enterprise though, Fortress Maximus turned himself into a copy.

And this is somehow better?

Yeah and Optimus turned himself into a copy of a combat vehicle developed by M.A.S.K. in season 3 of Prime.

M.A.S.K. developed transforming vehicles, which in the comics was an attempt to copy Cybertronian tech.

So you COULD create a transforming Connie.

Incidentally, the human baby with a Cybertronian spark in the IDW 2005 run was going to be named Connie (since she had a Deception symbol on her face) if the author had his druthers.
