Star Trek: Strange New Worlds [SPOILERS]

Those fuckers better not stop just before TOS, considering how much TOS cockteasing they've been doing.



There are 43,680 hours in a five year mission. TOS showed us less than 79 hours of that, and TAS added less than 11. There's sooo much left to cover.

Sure, but ... I'm also fine with this show being about Pike's five-year mission, and TOS being about Kirk's.

MASH ran for 11 years, so can SNW!

"Tonight on Paramount+... a Star Trek: Strange New Worlds epic 8-hour marathon!"

"Watch as Captain Pike rolls on his back in bed and starts to snore!"

"See Nurse Chapel drop a massive brick after being constipated for two hours!"

"Gawk at Spock taking a 30-minute sonic shower!"

"Marvel at Una Chin-Riley eating her breakfast!"

"All this and more on the next exciting episode of Strange New Worlds!"

And that was about 11 years too long.

And just when you thought Discovery episodes had too much crying and screaming and tortured whispering.

That's also the episode where they introduce the new version of Smell-O-Vision!

Yes. Would watch

I'd sniff her bike seat for crying out loud

with Paul Wesley leading the remaing two and likely second five years?

because if we reboot totally, movie 2 could be the Wrath of La'an and mix Khan with Carol Marcus for her motivation...
"in space, no one can collect on child support arrears"

My bigger concern is P+ going belly up before SNW season 3 even comes out. And then what? What's Star Trek's slate going forward? DISCO is cancelled (yay!), ST:Nickelodeon is disappeared, PIC is over. The cartoon show, the one with the purple hair guy and the lesbian, it's a cartoon so super cheap but also super disposable.

Somebody said that Paul Wesley’s Kirk reminds them of Jim Carrey… and now I just can’t unsee it. I keep thinking of Jim Carey’s spoof on In Living Color in the 90’s… The Wrath of Farrakhan.

At a pure guess, the powers that be likely are going to do some combination of Section 31 (spy stuff with Michelle Yeoh's character), Starfleet Academy and Legacy (post-Picard with some combination of Seven, Jack Crusher, and/or The Generation after the Next Generation since there's latitude for Wesley, Kestra Troi-Riker, Worf and/or Alexander, Data/Soji and other fan favorites from TNG-era Trek to star or make cameos).

Isn’t Kestra dead?

That's the sister. The daughter is Kestra 2.

Oh god, I was thinking of Seska.

Simpler still, the "an optronic memory core fell through a wormhole, got wrapped in a meteor burrito, fell to Earth in the past, and landed in young Gene Roddenberry's back yard" theory.

Yeah, I think the troubles with Paramount will kill Trek more than fan apathy like with ENT this time around. And that's honestly worse.

I'd have to believe that something that's this popular, Netflix and/or Amazon would be more than happy to pay P+ for the rights to pick up where they left off

That was me, Jim Carrey as Kirk was the first thing I thought of when Wesley appeared as Kirk.

I watched In Living Color when it first aired and am very familiar with that skit.

You two must have been ingesting magic mushrooms to make that connection. They're not similar at all.

Nah, a lot of people are making that comparison.

A lot of people are fucking idiots.

I have the receipts.

There's even a Reddit page.

I mean, if I squint, I can see it, but Carrey looks way more like Shatner than Wesley

Spotted on FB.

A 10 PM lost in YouTube thought...
Watched Star Trek DS9 where Worf states that being stuck in an excape pod was ok because it had good acustics for Klingon opera recently. Also watched Star Trek SNW singing episode where the Klingons sing in K-Pop. Now I want to know what other Klingon music genres there are. Klingon R&B? Klingon Death Metal? Klingon Country?
11 AM Update:
According to Memory Alpha there are the following types:
Klingon Acid Punk
Klingon Drinking Songs
Klingon Opera
