From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.“ - Anson Mount via Twitter, April 29 2022

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — The High Country

When an experimental shuttlecraft fails, Captain Christopher Pike suspects a mechanical malfunction—only to discover the very principles on which Starfleet bases its technology have simply stopped functioning. He and his crewmates are forced to abandon ship in a dangerous maneuver that scatters their party across the strangest new world they’ve ever encountered.

First Officer Una finds herself fighting to survive an untamed wilderness where dangers lurk at every turn. Young cadet Nyota Uhura struggles in a volcanic wasteland where things are not as they seem. Science Officer Spock is missing altogether. And Pike gets the chance to fulfill a childhood dream: to live the life of a cowboy in a world where the tools of the 23rd century are of no use.

Yet even in the saddle, Pike is still very much a starship captain, with all the responsibilities that entails. Setting out to find his crewmates, he encounters a surprising face from his past—and discovers that one people’s utopia might be someone else’s purgatory. He must lead an exodus—or risk a calamity of galactic proportions that even Starship Enterprise is powerless to stop…"

Coming 8 November 2022.

Oh, hell yeah. Hit it.

Why do Trekkies react as if they're a cat that's been stepped on every time there's some minor continuity error?

It's a television show. Some of these changes may be due to ignorance of the enourmous 830+ episode and 13 movie canon, but most are informed changes made to better tell the story the new writers are trying to tell. It's been that way since Spock went from having "one of my anscestors" being human to being half-human. A throwaway line became a major plot point later on, and the situation was simplified to tell a story which included marriage between an alien and a human and established a 50/50 struggle within Spock.

They're making a new TOS show called Strange New Worlds? And they changed the designs to look modern?? And Pike is now comfortable with women on his bridge????

Obviously the world has changed a lot. 1960's attitudes and 1960's set design (adorable as the latter may be) don't fit anymore. If we've changed Pike so he's not a weird depressed sexist, why not ignore a few more bits of TOS too? Why not "re-cast" the Enterprise as we did the actors so she can look as amazing as 2022 can imagine? Spock never melded with a human before TOS... but imagine the story possibilities if we just ignore that one little line! Who wouldn't want that plot device to peer directly into the minds of the new SNW characters?

The 2009 Star Trek reboot didn't wipe TOS from the face of the Earth, and neither will Strange New Worlds. Yes, it's essentially another reboot and will adhere to classic continuity in broad strokes, but that's okay. Let them tell their stories and let them fall or stand tall on their own.

Same for the details of Jean-Luc Picard's youth. Same for Klingon bumpy heads.

And if you're upset that you're seeing queer characters in Trek, you are literally the 2022 equivalent of people upset in the 1960's that a white man kissed a black woman on TV and you need to get over it.
