Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

I think he was going into shock due to all the events transpiring at once and the lives at stake...

That shouldn't happen to a starship captain.

GOD that hair is ridiculous. It just gets higher and higher. The Human to Vulcan/Romulon transformation was done before in the original series.

The Human to Vulcan/Romulon transformation was done before in the original series.

IIRC, all TOS transformations were makeup alterations limited to appearance changes. Subsequent Star Treks (in real time, not in stardate) engaged in surgical alterations of appearance.

More recently are we seeing temporary genetic alterations of appearance (Strange New Worlds S1E1).

Spock has lost control of his emotions several times (making him more Romulan than human). The SNW episode Charades (S2E5) is the first time a comprehensive Vulcan to human transition was made.

AFAIK, this is the first instance where a full racial and cultural change from human to Vulcan is achieved (although we haven't seen them bleed green blood yet).

Damn. I wonder what it was that I posted?

If I remember correctly, it was Pike deciding what to do with his impossible situation. To which he responds, "Release the Moopsy" or something like that.

You're lucky, I found that I texted it to my Trekkie friend last year.

 

[TheKrell]

Wow. I had forgotten that and had to look it up. From Lower Decks and I guess at least a crossover comment from the future in SNW.

10 new episodes coming this summer

A couple of those scenes remind of the musical episode.

Yeah, I really hope they don't do anything like that again. Been waiting almost 2 years for S3 and with only 10 episodes comprising a season now, I really don't want to see a dud again. A semi-comedy, ok, but man, please not a musical again...

 

[Foxbat]

Been waiting almost 2 years for S3…

Sadly, my one Trekker friend died after the Season 2 Finale.

Sadly, my one Trekker friend died after the Season 2 Finale.

My dad was looking forward to SNW. Unfortunately he passed a few weeks before the premiere. However, we were able to watch many shows while he was in the hospital that he wanted to watch but had put off until he had time as he didn't think my stepmom would like them. The Mandalorian was the first thing we watched.

Someone is sticking their neck out for an August 1 premiere. It is about time.

The wall was supposed to eliminate most of the post-shooting CGI so what's the holdup?

The strike delayed things, to resume filming, had to wait on some of the actors availability.

The wall only helps with background shots, it still takes about a year for the special effects to be done/finished.

The good news is, they are already filming Season 4, so should be the typical year's wait

Are you speaking of the actor's strike that ended three months before filming began, or are you talking about the writer's strike that ended three months before that?

The good news is, they are already filming Season 4, so should be the typical year's wait.

It seems like the only time that happens is when they do two seasons in one go.

It isn't like the transporter effect has become so much more involved in 60 years.

I miss the days when shows had 20-22 episodes per season instead of 8-10...

Egads, I hope that's not part of an episode in the upcoming season...the musical ep was torture enough...

If that is real I can see skipping a few episodes of the next season.

I am hoping it is just a promo, but worried it is not, after last season's crossover and the musical, anything could happen.

Just thinking about the musical makes me nauseous.
