Akiva has said it will be more episodic than DSC and Picard, but will still be serialized in the sense that there will be character arcs, they won't just drop things between episodes.

He also said it will be more hopeful and optimistic.

they're still saying Strange New Worlds will be more episodic
There will be background stuff, character arcs and such that will be serialized, but the main plots of each episode will be self contained.

It's working fine on my end.

The TrekCore twitter link I posted though is down, CBS probably asked them to remove it.

Edit: Oh it's probably because I already have it in my browser cache. Now it should work

When they were updating the plaque to read "Starship Class: Constitution", I kinda wish they had replaced "San Francisco, Calif", with "San Francisco Fleet Yards". Since the plaque should be simply "Starship Class" (in this time period anyways), they might as well "fix" the other thing as well. I know some ships can be built on the ground, but it just makes more sense to build ships in orbit.

That being said, this plaque certainly looks a lot better (and no more split-delta BS)

"...to boldly go where no one has gone before."

MAN. It's Man! As in Human, Mankind. Not the gender.

Title: Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Post by: Tuskin38 on July 14, 2021, 06:25:59 PM

Trek dropped the use of 'Man' in that quote with TNG (except in Enterprise on the plaque, and the Kelvin Timeline Movies)

The use of Man/Mankind is outdated, I'm glad they removed it, the gender neutral 'no one', is a lot better.

Title: Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Post by: Darkthunder on July 14, 2021, 09:29:45 PM

I know exactly why they dropped "man" from the quote. To be politically correct. But that doesn't change the facts of history. The show might be made in 2021, but it takes place in pre-TOS era. The quote should be based on the quote from the same era as shown in the 1960s.

But alas, politically correctness must take priority.

I also object to the notion of "Man/Mankind" being outdated. Are we not HuMANs anymore?

"Hi! We're No One's from the Planet Earth..."

Title: Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Post by: Tuskin38 on July 15, 2021, 05:24:35 PM

Human is different from man/mankind.

Do you think Pike should still want to be an Orion slave owner then? Or find it weird to have a woman serving on the bridge?

Some things are allowed to be updated, they shouldn't be slaves to the outdated/offensive ideals of the 1960s.

Quote

"Hi! We're No One's from the Planet Earth..."

That isn't what I'm saying at all. We'd still use Human.

Wouldn't put Human on a plaque though, what about the non-humans in Starfleet?

Title: Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Post by: Darkthunder on July 16, 2021, 11:51:37 AM

"We come in peace for all mankind."

or... "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Yup, such outdated or offensive comments. /sarcasm

That being said, this particular plaque is onboard the Enterprise ONLY. And from what we know of canon (to those of us who actually still give a damn about such things), very few non-Humans were serving aboard the Enterprise. Spock being one of the exceptions. My assumption is that other ships wouldn't have the same motto, for example the USS Intrepid (a crew of ALL VULCANS).

"To boldly go where no man has gone before" is an honorific from the speech given by Zefram Cochrane in early 22nd Century, and likely adopted by "the flagships" of the Federation. Not as a motto used aboard every single ship (as we've seen other plaques which don't have the motto). Pike's remarks about women I'm perfectly okay with rewriting it (as it was indeed sexist), as well as him being a slave owner. All of which from 1 rejected pilot episode, so can be discarded. But the plaque of the Enterprise, was the same for all 79 episodes and should keep the original motto. Political correctness be damned!

Not all things in history need be rewritten, just for the sake of political correctness.

Mankind is an outdated term, I'm sorry.

Human is fine.

And there is nothing wrong with political correctness in the modern sense. It will help the world become more exclusive and welcoming for everyone (except assholes)

That's Huperson. :P

Mankind isn't an outdated term, it's perfectly fine. Political correctness is intellectual colonialism designed to control the way people think. It hasn't lead to a reduction in racism or sexism or any other ism. It's just box ticking so that the statistics look nice and inclusive. It's terrible. It kills individual and local cultures in order to create a world wide mono-culture where everyone is the same. Fucking bland.

Also, I think you meant inclusive rather than exclusive. PC isn't necessary for that. People are going to be arseholes no matter what. Everyone is to someone. Why? Because it's subjective. Nearly 8 billion people on the planet, you aren't going to get anywhere close to all of them thinking alike.

As regards to trek: I agree with you that some things need updating, but for that they need to do a full reboot with a new canon, not try to shoehorn it in to an long standing canon. Trek really needs to get over itself and start fresh with the 25th century or a full on reboot. It's become stuck in the same place, which is what has allowed Orville to be the better franchise atm.

Bit too green. And why 2 operator consoles?

Title: Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Discussion (WARNING: SPOILERS)
Post by: Tuskin38 on July 19, 2021, 10:33:08 AM

Why not two?

And the TOS set had green panels in the back for the first couple seasons, it's probably a nod to that.

Because it's suppose to have 1. Other than in the JJverse, the Transporter Room has always had 1 console. The green may be an homage to the original, but it's still.. "too green". The lighting like all things in nuTrek is overly dark, and then it's the goddamn black shiny floors!

You talk about "outdated" ... Well, imagine how difficult it might be for crew members of a certain gender to focus, when they can stare at the shiny black floors, and see underneath crew members of a different gender?!? Especially if those crew members are wearing miniskirts.

No release date yet, I'm going to assume after Picard season 2, since that does have a release date (well month)

Since they didn't show us the Enterprise in the video, we'll have to do with this out of focus computer screen.

It could just be how the wire frame is rendered, but the shading/shadowing on the bottom of the saucer, it doesn't look like it's flat anymore like it was in Discovery, I think they put the curves back in from TOS.

Strange New Worlds Set Photo Leaks

Spoiler: show

They filmed an anti-war protest scene a while back that I never mentioned, at it appears to be on an Antaran planet, since all the aliens are wearing that make up.

&t=1s

The Antarans come from a single episode of Enterprise, they were a species that were once at war with the Denobulans, and still had a big beef with them. The Cerritos in Lower Decks also has a couple Antaran crew memebers
