If I had a nickel for every time a main TOS character is said to be married/engaged only for it to never be mentioned in the show again, I’d have 4 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened 4 times

I wanna see Christine Chapel fall in love with Roger Korby in the next season of Strange New Worlds.

Chapel in Strange New Worlds S3 after coming back from her fellowship confessing to Uhura she never broke up with Korby but is still dating Spock:

Something that I want in SNW season 3 is to fall in love with Roger Korby.

I want my consent concerns of Christine as his student removed (maybe they met and fell in love before they knew each other’s names?).

I want the man he was before the machine he became to be kind and witty and fun and smart and a wonderful partner for Christine.

I want Christine’s future mourning for Roger to make sense as their could-have-been shone bright and beautiful.

I want so many of my long-held beliefs about this character to be upended as we truly meet him for the first time.

Roger Korby makes my skin crawl

Also when he’s talking about how the androids have full physical sensation and Christine says “how convenient”

And then he’s like “you don’t think I could possibly love an android” and she just goes “Did you?”

QUEEN SHIT

I'm intrigued to see whether Strange New Worlds will actually show us anything of Roger Korby beyond just the fact that Christine gets engaged to him; because I know that, in the old novelverse, they established that Noonien Soong used the technology from the Exo III androids in designing Data and Lore, and I think that they could fairly easily tie this into the Soong family legacy arc and the "Higher Synthetics" arc from Picard season 1.

Roger Korby

Much hotter than the original. Ok Christine, i'll allow it.

[pixiedane]

The only casting I’ll accept.

[neyafromfrance95]

i need an extremely sexy fancast for roger korby so that i feel a little better about him being christine's fiance.

he is old and a groomer and is probably going to exploit christine's work but he can still be charming at least.

any ideas? mine is gong yoo.

It's been a while, huh?

[Description:

An alignment meme. There are two columns: on the left, a column of booty shorts with bizarre text on them. On the right, characters from the classic era of star trek. They are as follows:

A black pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "god won't let me die." Next to it, a picture of The Guardian of Forever.

A pair of pink booty shorts with white text, reading: "Enemy of The State". Next to it, a picture of Sybok.

A navy blue pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "this is not a place of honor." Next to it, a picture of Dr. Crater.

A red pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "ceaseless watcher, turn gaze upon this wretched thing." Next to it, a picture of Anton Karidian

A red pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "The task ahead is terrible, and weakness cannot be tolerated." Next to it, a picture of The Romulan Commander.

A navy blue pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "You will live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension." Next to it, a picture of Roger Korby.

did i see a roger korby mention in snw s2e5??

[tabbyofwisdom]

They keep teasing Roger Korby and it’s like a ticking time bomb waiting to blow me up. I’m not prepared.

[marascout]

Okay, yes, musical episode. Fabulous. LOVED IT. 10/10 will watch again

But can we talk about how Carol is pregnant and JIM KNOWS???? That's literally an enormous plot point and I can't reconcile it with the original timeline. You can't just hand wave that. We have to be in an alternate universe and I don't know what that means for anyone on this ship anymore.

For Ask Trek characters anything: Seven of Nine and/or Christine Chapel

Thank you for asking, @isagrimorie! ❤️

I answered Seven of Nine here (the ask was in my inbox when you sent yours) and I also love your Q&A for Seven of Nine.

For Christine Chapel, my question might someday be answered by canon but, for now, it’s: “How did Roger change your life for the better?” We all saw the pain Roger Korby’s death causes her, but how did Roger make Christine happy, secure, so convinced of his gentleness despite the horrors of war she had witnessed that she planned to join her life to his in marriage?

I would hope Christine would tell a sweet story about falling in love, hard, and surety in her choice as she watched Roger open a window to shoo out a fly instead of smacking the fly with the papers in his hand. I would hope Christine would laugh as she reminisced about introducing Roger to Joseph — Joseph’s appraisal of critical importance — and, not even halfway through dinner, Joseph’s slight nod of approval. I would hope Christine would talk seriously about her mental state before Roger’s death and after, with Roger as someone she could truly share her fears with and he would listen.

And I would hope Christine would share how, even though it took years to mourn the loss of Roger’s love, that love continued to help Christine move forward.

It could be the opposite, though. It could be that throwing herself into an engagement was the wrong choice, Roger’s love less important in context than Christine’s own motivations for planning their marriage. In this scenario, it could be that by finally recognizing her own actions as not motivated by love that Christine was able to help herself move forward.

Bottom line: I don’t want Christine Chapel’s canon story to be one of loss after loss. I do want her canon story to be one of loss and climbing back, loss and climbing back, loss and climbing back because she’s not just going to survive, Christine Chapel is going to thrive — a strong, brassy, sassy woman whose core of care someday leads her to lasting joy. Maybe, just maybe, with an understandable delay to mourn, memories of her experiences with Roger could help Christine eventually find her version of happiness.

Send me a Trek character and I’ll reply with a question I would ask them — and, if you want, my hoped-for answer.

If you want to play this ask game, too, here’s the post to reblog.
