RumHam Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 So no one but Spock from the original show was on the crew back then huh? Not surprising and I'm not sure what's been established in canon but I was kinda hoping Bones would be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s entirely based on the original pilot “The Cage”, which was later recanonised as happening 13 years before TOS. And yea, Leonard Nimoy was the only cast member who transferred over. But if we start wishing for other crew members, aren’t we just remaking TOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically Majel Barrett came over to the original series from "The Cage"...just as a different character... Despite the maddening insistence on doing prequels, this is actually the one show I'm possibly optimistic about...but I'm still sure it'll get mucked up.

Toth Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I just want Dr. Boyce, he had such an amazing chemistry with Pike in The Cage. But then again, the new Pike has barely anything in common with the original one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 McCoy wasnt even on the Enterprise in the first Kirk pilot, from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he only came in during the first season proper, although it gets a little confused because the second pilot (Where No Man Has Gone Before) got chucked into the mix randomly and aired three or four episodes in, so you go from Bones being around to disappearing and then coming back.

RumHam Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I've only watched TOS all the way through once. Of course I've seen individual episodes on TV from time to time, and I love a lot of the original movies. TOS is just too dated for me to really get into it. So my knowledge of it isn't great.

SpaceChampion Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm a few episodes into season 5 of DS9. I thought season 4 was really good. Pretty sure from here on out most of this will be new to me, though I know the broad strokes of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 The full drop of information is quite impressive (gathered there from multiple tweets). More information on Prodigy: set five years after the end of Voyager, on a Federation starship that has returned to the Delta Quadrant but something's gone wrong and the ship is abandoned. A bunch of alien refugee kids find the ship and its Emergency Training Hologram...which is based on Captain Janeway (voiced by Kate Mulgrew). Lower Decks Season 2 has more Captain Riker (w00t!) and features the gang taking command of a Miranda-class starship at some point. Drops in August this year. Plus, it's just been renewed for Season 3. Discovery Season 4 seems like same old, although they have more colourful, new uniforms. Targeting a 2021 release date, probably October/November. Picard Season 2 is targeting an early 2022 release date. John de Lancie is back as Q (he confirms his live-action return in his own Twitter feed).

Werthead Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Paramount has set a 9 June 2023 release date for the next Star Trek movie. Apparently this is absolutely nothing to do with any of the previously-announced projects (the fourth Pine/Quinto movie, the Tarantino idea, the Hawley idea, the Vazquez project) and instead is a whole new thing. It's being produced by JJ Abrams and that's all we know about it. Although to hit that date they need to get moving on it sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if it’s not New Star Trek 4, and it’s Abrams producing, it must be another ship in the JJverse? I hope it’s not New Next Gen, unlikely alongside Picard though. Based on their track record, I’ll go with “some weird idea that nobody was asking for”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aemon Stark Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 More likely, I'd say it will be a time travel story where Earth is threatened by an alien probe looking for extinct humpback whales. A crazy premise, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Reunification, there's nothing stopping any new films from using the Prime timeline, but who knows at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luzifer's right hand Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 On the TV series side of things what Disney has done with Star Wars and Marvel so far. Maybe they could buy the rights to Star Trek too? Or do they already own them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Disney would be allowed to purchase them by regulators in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
