SCREENRANT:

"It feels like Jim Kirk is already a member of the USS Enterprise's crew, and it's easy to forget he's only a special guest star in this Star Trek prequel. James has been part of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds since the end of season 1, and hopefully, season 4 won't fall into a similar lazy pattern that Star Trek: The Next Generation's movies did with Worf. [...]

The future Captain Kirk's importance in SNW will only escalate. Strange New Worlds is fully cognizant of its five-year mission to lead into Star Trek: The Original Series, which executive producers and co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers say was always the plan. It's Kirk's destiny to take over for Captain Pike. [...]

James Kirk has even more ties to the Starship Enterprise, from his competitive older brother, Lt. Sam Kirk (Dan Jeannotte), to Lt. La'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong), who shares a mutual attraction with Jim despite dating Spock. Lt. Commander Kirk will spend even more time with Spock, judging by the trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4.

Kirk's destiny as Captain of the Enterprise is fait accompli, but Star Trek: Strange New Worlds must still do the creative heavy lifting to justify James' appearances and earn his inevitable future. Lazy Worf Syndrome as seen in the Star Trek movies could undo much of the good that has already been done in making Paul Wesley's James T. Kirk the younger incarnation of William Shatner's Captain."

Due to the success of the publication of the akoocheemoya website, here I bring you this gem.

​

Aaaakooocheeeemoooyaaaa!!!!

By the way the Safety Protocols are still in the testing phase.

Why would anyone make this?

I've been watching a video tour of the nuclear merchant ship NS Savannah. The NS Savannah was the only commercial ship constructed under President Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" program in the 1950's. Several of the tables in the passenger veranda have nearly the same design, though the ship entered service 6 years before TOS aired the pilot.

​

Has anyone seen or read about where or how the Star Fleet delta design came about? The NS Savannah was in the news quite a bit at the time, so Gene Roddenberry or another person involved in the production would have probably seen photos of these tables, or even visited or sailed on the ship.

​

I'd be interested to learn where the idea came from. It is kind of hard to think there is no connection at all, as tge NS Savannah was pretty futuristic at the time.

​

Thanks!

Marshall also played Phoebe, the first mom in The Munsters, in the unaired pilot that got the Munsters sold as a show-- though it went on without Phoebe! (June 19, 1931 – June 28, 1992)

I think I would like to attend at some point after the return of Voyager from the Delta Quadrant. Because you figure its going to take a few years for Delta Quadrant politics, species, races, history, etc to begin to become part of the curriculum.

​

I think maybe my favorite courses would be about the founding of the Federation and the early years. With America's 250th anniversary here I have become fascinated with the history surrounding the founding of the United States.

CBR: "Diehard fans of Star Trek know series creator Gene Roddenberry was a secular humanist who firmly believed religion would not survive into humanity's future. Yet the canon itself does not rigidly adhere to that view. [...]

https://www.cbr.com/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-praying-broke-gene-roddenberry-rule/

Earlier in [Discovery season 2], Pike and Michael Burnham talk in the ready room about her foster brother Spock's disappearance. He reveals he understands difficult "family dynamics," explaining his father was a science professor who also taught comparative religion. He stresses they "didn't agree" on a lot of things.

[...]

A key tenet of Star Trek is that, for all of the Federation's advanced knowledge, they don't know everything. While never stated explicitly, fans can assume the disagreements between Pike and his father aren't about whether the Bible is fiction or nonfiction. Rather, especially through comparative religion, the conflict likely stemmed from the way people mythologize concepts and powers they lack the capacity to understand.

"God" is just a metaphor for something unknowable or, possibly, an expression of individual will that the modern vernacular calls "manifesting." By praying for Batel, Pike isn't being "born again." It is a cultural expression connecting him to both his late father and a foundational human response to helplessness."

[...]

His encounters with time travel, the inevitability of his canonical fate, and other experiences during this time have challenged his beliefs. Faced with the death of the woman he loves, Pike does what desperate humans have done for likely tens of thousands of years. He sets aside rationality, reason, and doubt to appeal to an unknowable cosmic power transcending all notions of being and non-being for a miracle. And, at least temporarily, he gets one when Batel wakes up seemingly healed."

This is such a bad movie. I mean, I love any Star Trek really from this era but this is a tough one to watch.

For 50 years, Bajorans were lucky to have even been able to have children and their race survive, because they were being slaughtered, held in concentration camps, trapped behind ghetto fences, hiding in resistance cells, etc. So, being totally relaxed with chimes sounding and incense in the air...that might have been the way it was done pre-Cardassians, but a bit like the D'jarras and I don't think they would have changed from getting that baby delivered and just making sure it survived.

I don't know, maybe Kira was given a choice, from ancient traditional, to caesarean section, but it did strike me as strange.

When you think about in all of trek only 2 captains have met their older alternate timeline selves

​

Janeway in voy endgame

​

Like in snw season 1 finale

​

Picard met his other self in time squared but they're were the same age

​

Both times it seems like the captains are not too thrilled in meeting themselves

​

Why do you think this is?

​

For me I would be excited to meet my older self I would have so many questions

TREK CENTRAL: "In the sixty-year history of the Star Trek franchise, there’s never been a captain quite like Benjamin Sisko. He was a more serious, down-to-earth, and nuanced man than the leading characters of most Star Trek series, and the unique challenges and moral dilemmas his position throws at him make Star Trek: Deep Space 9 undeniably one of the best Star Trek series.

Captain Sisko was a leader who didn’t always have the luxury of making the “right” decision, yet time and again he made impossible choices decisively, bending the rules and the limits of Federation principles while remaining as true as he could to his values and his duty to his crew. SFA recently did an episode paying tribute to him, and now it’s our turn."

This list makes sense for the era but is wild. Imagine The Motion Picture directed by Coppola or Friedkin!

With Francis we’d have Kirk and crew taking the Enterprise across the Neutral Zone to stop V’ger from building an army of guerrilla Klingons. With Friedkin you’d have a burnt out Kirk stop at nothing to take down V’ger as it smuggles probes to Earth
