People mature, but I am once again wondering about the Enterprise. There has to be another wave of Luddite paranoia that causes the Enterprise bridge and technology to get retroed out of existence and turned into something that looks like a cheap TV series from the 1960s. I thought Pike disliked the computers on the Enterprise and that's why it was being retrofit with more analog controls.
I predict they will just ignore their anachronisms and go with a more modern ship.
Probably, as this is sounding like Yet Another Reboot. "Star Trek: Enterprise" had a bridge that was a much more cramped affair even though it featured better User Interfaces than the Original Series bridge.I predict they will just ignore their anachronisms and go with a more modern ship.
Khan and his group launched from Earth in a sleeper ship in 1996. This series takes place in 2258 or 2259...
Well maybe because this is at least 10 years before the original Nurse Chapel played on the orignal Star trek series. This Nurse Chapel is much younger and probably would explain the spunkiness. She hasn't got beat down by life, Just kind of looks like it.
I'm guessing they'll bring him in as a mid-grade officer (2nd officer perhaps), setting him up for his eventual captaincy when the current 5-year mission is over.
It wasn't great, but looking at what has been announced, the vibe I am getting is that this is way more like the Original Series. Mostly just stand alone episodes. A "planet of the week". Some are going to hit, some are going to miss, but I much prefer this to the dreck that is STD and to Picard, which seems to be written based on who can do a cameo fan service, rather than for actual drama.
It sure hasn't looked that way so far.
I remember a STNG episode called, The Chase, which sounds a lot like what you describe. I loved it because it explained for the first time why everybody in known space was humanoid in body plan (other than the obvious reason). Was there another similar episode in TOS?
