Christina Chong supporting the cast Lewis Tan as Manu Noonien-Singh agenda. She’s a real one. 🖖🏻

#*#star trek: strange new worlds #christina chong #lewis tan #manu noonien-singh #la’an noonien-singh #i have so many thoughts about how trek could authentically pull it off and a whole bunch of aus to go with it #and especially upon seeing the gorn war that’s being teased in season two #he would just fit in so well #manu noonien-singh for mvp #also could you just imagine what a powerhouse siblings dynamic lewis and christina could showcase together?

a list of Trek things that I’d literally sell an organ to experience for the first time again:

-spock’s death scene and funeral in wrath of kahn

-the subsequent kirk-spock switcharoo that AOS trek pulled at the end of Into Darkness

-speaking of aos, when Spock Prime shows up in the ice cave in 2009 (no bc I literally SCREAMED like the sound that came out of me was insane)

-when Pike showed up in Discovery

-the sickbay scene where Kirk turned out to be alive in Amok Time (smiley spock🥰)

-the DS9 tribbles crossover episode

-every single time Spock swears in The Voyage Home

-when the enterprise rises out of the nebula behind Khan’s ship in WoK

-Chakotay begging Janeway not to do this to him and sobbing over her dead body in Coda (yeah I’m a masochist and???? what do you want from me)

-when Wesley showed up in S2 of Picard

~~Please add yours I wanna see~~

Shrimpies I'll be honest I did not actually give Spock/Chapel a second thought before today because obvious reasons but Ethan Peck SOLD that shit to me. I feel like I've signed my life away to a pyramid scheme because a guy with a nice jawline cried so convincingly my mouth fell open for thirty seconds straight. The minute I realised he had no grand plan and was only holding off on firing because he knew she was on the ship... I get it now.

#i guess im a spirk chock multishipper now #spock does have two hands...#unfortunately that leaves no hands for his fiance #i really like her but we know she's not sticking around im not putting my horse in that race #strange new worlds season 2 #star trek snw #snw spoilers

season 1, episode 7

the long game

man i hope they cast this really cool up and coming actor, simon pegg, in the new star trek movies being spire headed by jj abrams who's only doing that so he can get his hands on star wars, and once he does, that simon pegg will have to write the third movie that actually very good but no one went to see it cos the previous film was so bad

good episode tho

#jj abrams did horrible things to star trek #also alex kurtzman was left in charge #and like #we did get lower decks and strange new worlds beceause of him #but we also cos the 1st two seasons of both discovery and picard #and he makes spock kiss women human style and it's bad #anyway that enough star trek for this doctor who review

Genuinely depressing to see so much of the Star Trek fandom on Twitter pivot from “Like what you like,” to “If you don’t like the thing I like, you’re not a real fan.”

Insulting people for not liking musicals is objectively worse than not liking musicals.

#star trek #star trek strange new worlds #st:snw #s2e9 #there are two ways a franchise can go with a musical episode #make it fun and noncanonical like with a dream sequence or something #or awkwardly and implausibly shoehorn it in #they chose violence #and after more than one episode that didn’t didn’t advance the season’s story arc #it sucks that they made major moves in a very divisive episode #didn’t watch it read the synopsis #what you don’t like fun #i like lots of kinds of fun just not this one

okay so I was liking strange new worlds so far, and then last night's episode killed off the disabled character played by a disabled actor, the day before disability pride month starts

apparently it was planed from the beginning and the actor at the least is still going to be involved in the show somehow, but to me that almost makes it worse?

#strange new worlds #star trek strange new worlds #strange new worlds spoilers #snw spoilers #i really liked hemmer and thought he'd be around for the long haul #but i guess two not-red shirts wasnt enough of hit #i think there's just one episode left #so ill probably watch that and see if there's anything about hemmer or his actor cominf back #but then ill probably wait to watch season 2 til i know how it turns out #ableism

So La’an is back, Ortegas doesn’t get to have any fun, and Spock is even buffer. But WHERE is Una? And is that why Pike looks so … down?

#star trek snw #strange new worlds spoilers #star trek day #i wish I didn’t have adult responsibilities and could have watched the live stream 😭#like technically we know where Una is but this better be like episode one or two #cause I’m not watching a whole season without my girl

I have seen Kathryn Janeway face down the Kazon, the Borg, the Hirogen, Species 8472, and many more. I’ve seen her sprint into fire, fly her ship between binary stars, and break time itself to protect her crew. She literally beat fear in a battle of wits and told death to go back to hell.

But a fold in subspace that causes uncontrollable emotional honesty?

I think she would turn tail and run.

on Strange New Worlds and fate

i have some thoughts on this theme, particularly relating to Una and Ortegas

because the last episode of season 1 really leaves us with two big questions to be explored in season 2: is it Una’s fate to be imprisoned for being an Illyrian? and what happens in the intervening 7 years for Ortegas to be such a different person?

now fate is a big theme in season 1, specifically relating to Pike’s struggles with what he knows to be his future. should he try to prevent the horrible accident that he knows is coming for him? he gets his answer in “A Quality of Mercy”: no he shouldn’t, because in his own future!self’s words: every time they try to change that path, Spock dies. in the same conversation, almost in the same breath, his future!self acknowledges that paths do diverge, there’s just no diverging from this specific one without terrible consequences

i think this is a very important piece of dialogue because it basically preemptively denies that nothing can ever be changed. some things can, but not this one, not if we care about the consequences anyway. this is particularly relevant re: Una, who we know has been imprisoned for years in the alternate timeline and is arrested at the end of this episode. i have already seen people questioning how Pike could even try to change that after accepting his own fate. i think the show actually went out of its way to tell us that it IS possible and that it is Pike’s specific fate that shouldn't be changed, not necessarily everything else (though you can never be sure of the consequences of changing something)

i think the biggest question for season 2 is not actually should he try to free her but can he? assuming that his alternate!self already tried, and i don’t see why he wouldn’t have, he obviously failed. is Pike having that knowledge and having accepted his own fate enough of a change that he will be able to free her this time around?

the second big question is about Ortegas. her alternate/future!self is obviously a much hardened version of her, and quite shockingly one that doesn’t seem to get on well with Pike. what happened in these 7 years that lead to that? and will it also happen in this reality? or will Pike accepting his own fate make him a different person who will make different choices and prevent this particular fate from happening? i think narratively they will have to show us what could lead her to become like her alternate!self, but is it inescapable?

while pike’s own struggles were neatly wrapped up at the end of season 1, fate seems to be a theme that we’re not done exploring in Strange New Worlds

#star trek strange new worlds #strange new worlds #snw spoilers #i love that the two big question marks for season 2 are about female characters #i can already feel how bittersweet this show will become for me as time goes on #because right now we have more female characters than male ones #and they're interesting characters who are treated well #but inevitably the show will lead to TOS which is... a huge step back re: female characters #but oh well #right now i have no complaint and i'm gonna enjoy it for as long as i can

God it hurts me every day that they bunked up the Kirk/Spock casting and characters so epically on Strange New Worlds that I can't ever get my TOS-adjacent needs met. Forget Spirk, can't I just have characterizations that don't chew up and spit out and then MURDER some of my favorite TV characters of all time? Is it too much to ask that they just leave these characters BE.

#I'm allergic to the idea of this K/S #much less the bits I've seen #which SUCKS because some of the other cast are really cool and I'd rather we just followed them rather than ruining iconic characters #Lower Decks is the only new trek that doesnt give me hives #tho I'm willing to give Discovery another go #especially since it seems like they have an interesting concept for the last two seasons #and that cast is full of weird eccentrics who have the capacity to tug at my heart #strange new worlds #new trek #Lower Decks is actually really proper trek and its a chaotic combo of parody and homage strung together with space ooze and friendship #it shouldn't work but it does #I'd venture to say that it actually is created by fans #Lower Decks #star trek: discovery #one of the worst things about Discovery is that Burnham reads as QUEER AF but the show doesn't serm to know that which is super awkward #like when everyone at the dinner table knows your sibling is gay (or hell - half of your siblings) except your parents
