Season is really good so far. But did anyone else feel we kind of got the reason why micheal is never mentioned before. The red angel is the reason she didn't die, a time traveling being changed history basically, so this might be a new timeline.
I would like a series like that too, although by today TV standards it will be serialized and not episodic (but for sure with some planet of the week episodes tossed in between).
But I fear the boat already sailed as it should be on profuction by this time if they want to keep the actors.
And what would you call the series? Star Trek the Pike Years? 😅
It'll probably never happen as they already have 4 shows in the works with Disco, S31, Picard and Lower Decks.
But it could also just be that they are waiting on this season ending before deciding anything. When was the S31 show announced with Georgiou?
As for a name, who knows. Star Trek: Pikes a boss for all I care.
Just seems too easy, its 1701, its Pike, its Spock. It surely just makes money provided it's not utter shit.
There are lots of changes on Trek that contribute to new timelines. It's not divergent like when Nero destroys the Kelvin, it's less severe. The events of the other series's still happen chronologically much like when Picard says "Mister Data, lay in a course for the twenty-fourth century. I suspect our future is there waiting for us."Season is really good so far. But did anyone else feel we kind of got the reason why micheal is never mentioned before.

During all these flashbacks I am just imagining a 17 year old Sybok in his room being a real emo.

The place they return to will have minor differences (Riker/Geordi being on the Phoenix mission) and people who died during the Borg attack that shouldn't have. It's still the same history. More or less.
Anyone making bets as to whether will get a Pike-Enterprise spin off set during that prior five year mission? Pike, Spock, and Number One are all great (the security officer and the dead guy, not as much, but they could be fleshed out). And it would give fans the alien/planet-of-the-week format they claim to want.
The difference with Kelvin is that Nero jumped technology ahead much quicker than otherwise seen in the Prime timeline. 24th century augmented Borg tech in the 22nd century made a difference. The Kelvin scanned that ship on first contact and the data went with the survivors to Starfleet.The timeline in Star Trek has always been pretty malleable and small differences never really had much of an effect on the continuity going forward. Honestly, the only thing that's notable about the Kelvin universe is that we continued to follow it after its first appearance. It otherwise wouldn't be any more notable than any of the other myriad alternate universes any random Star Trek episode has created. It would be more akin to the mirror universe than anything. That's a long-winded post to say that I wouldn't put any more stock into Discovery creating a groundbreaking new alternate universe that changes the direction of the entire series (or even just its own series) going forward than I would have of the previous example of Sisko taking the forefront in the Bell Riots.
Ha don;t wastre your time I do not tweet that often and its rarely of interest haha.
Star Trek is weird because it's both one single timeline that you can change, but there are also infinite parallel universes based on different choices being made.A good example of this is the bell riots ep of ds9 whare sisko had to step in and make sure he got things right, and iirc starfleet temporal affairs grilled him

Though D'argo did like one of my tweets about a Farscape rewatch the other day. Taat was nice.
Sybok's probably off at the Vulcan school of logic and telepathy, so we never get to see him.
It was interesting to see the Talosians employ Sybok's "show me your pain" method, even though he used it for manipulative "healing" purposes instead of a weird form of reality entertainment.
Sadly not , I'm at work, we've just finished showing the Man City game and then having a bunch of crazy foreigners calling in to talk shit about football. Here till 7AM.It's 9.08pm on Saturday night in the UK. You're as drunk as I am, aren't you?

Really hoping to get around to ST6 tonight.
Been doing it 15 years now, it's a piece of piss ha.
I'm with you. We got seven seasons of Picard so I wasn't that interested in a Picard Star Trek. Pike hasn't nearly been as explored.Call me crazy but I am more interested on a Pike show than a Picard show right now.
The reason they can't use Sybok is the movie rights issue, but who knows what will happen if a merger actually happens.Sybok's probably off at the Vulcan school of logic and telepathy, so we never get to see him.

This. This would potentially be more of an alteration then an outright new timeline. Like when Barry screws with time on the Flash. Suddenly Pip Piper isn't a villain anymore but now a friend or Diggle's newborn daughter is now a boy. A LOT is still the same. Some differences. With space being so vast have a few people alive that weren't isn't going to drastically change things. Michael's name would be on things instead of John or Joan Doe we never heard about or knew existed.There are lots of changes on Trek that contribute to new timelines.

Vulcan's Forge has usually been depicted as a harsh desert environment, kind of like the Nefud.

(I still don't get who owns the TMP theme, sing it is also the TNG theme...)
Ha, amazing work.This article about Star Trek and time travel/alternate universes is blowing my mind.

I don't see why he won't be? What could possibly stop him, delta particle radiation? *Scoffs* As if!

That's alright. I know Vulcan was never going to be a complete nuclear winter desert planet because how the heck would they survive thousands of years after the big Vulcan/Romulan split. But The Forge was depicted as Death Valley x1000 on TAS and Enterprise so to me, it didn't make sense for it have forests. I know DIS shoots in Vancouver so they have to use those Stargate forests everywhere.
The TV and film rights were both held by the same parent company at the time TNG was made, so that wouldn't have been a problem then.
I would assume that Paramount/Viacom own the rights to the main melody itself, with CBS perhaps holding the rights to the use of that particular recording/arrangement. I am not a lawyer though.
Maybe the rights are a bit confused; Alexander Courage's original Star Trek theme has been quoted by the soundtracks of both the reboot movies and Discovery, but Jerry Goldsmith's theme hasn't been used by either despite it being almost as iconic. I'd like to see his Klingon theme return too. It hasn't been used since First Contact.
There's a "give disco a chance" thread and someone said s2 is worse. I can't even.Another really good episode, this season has been a massive improvement
I think i prefer Ethan Peck's Spock to Quinto's
Can someone explain the intro to the latest episode? Time seems Lordran convoluted or something, I didn't fully get it.
Remember that CBS and Netflix are disappointed and it'll be cut back to 10 episodes next year /sThere's a "give disco a chance" thread and someone said s2 is worse. I can't even.

I usually take those comments to be trolls because it makes no sense otherwise. It's not just worse when it's said but it has no redeeming qualities too? WTF!?There's a "give disco a chance" thread and someone said s2 is worse. I can't even.
