I genuinely wonder what people who were very involved in crafting Spock’s character, namely Gene Roddenberry, D. C. Fontana, and Leonard Nimoy would think of Star Trek: Discovery with the additions and alterations it makes to Spock’s backstory, especially considering how none of them liked the idea of Spock having a sibling since they had always envisioned him as an only child, which I agree fits his characterization best. There’s something to be said about not feeling forced to adhere to the wishes of people who are long dead, but I think it goes to show how TOS canon should probably be left untouched for modern Trek shows and movies.

A little update: That's Kovich/Daniels standing in the background (or rather, a stand-in for David Cronenberg), and a Xindi-primate in white in front wearing the initiation medal that Daniels gives Archer in ENT: "Azati Prime" confirming the Enterprise-J location and 26th century era.

There's a lot to unpack on this little video, including lots not at all explained in it and only behind the scenes. Is it dreamy and ambiguous, or is there a solid background?

First of all, is Kirk dead and in heaven? Is he alive? A hologram? The answers are shown in the intro, prior 765874 videos and built from Easter Eggs in Picard season 3. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted Kirk's remains in the Section 31 Daystrom vault. The readout mentioned something called "Project Phoenix". James T. Kirk has been resurrected.

The park Kirk starts out in? It's not just any park. It's inside the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-J, just look at the Roddenberry Archive Ent-J interior. We're in the 26th century, that's why Saavik looks so old. And speaking of Saavik, the Roddenberry Archive say they consider the Vulcan's Heart novel canon. Which means Saavik is Spock's wife. And the Vulcan man next to her? That's Sorak, the son she had with Spock following the Pon Farr in Star Trek III, according to OTOY.

It gets weirder. The old man wearing a white TNG movie era dress uniform? He's credited as "Crusher". That's an elderly version of our time travelling Wesley, dressed as he was in Star Trek Nemesis.

This sinister character, who gives Kirk his badge back and takes him through time? Temporal soldier Yor, from Discovery 3.09. From the Kelvin timeline, he jumped forward in time and across timelines during the 30th century temporal wars, eventually resulting in sickness and an agonising death. Here he takes Kirk from the 26th century Enterprise-J to 23rd century New Vulcan in the Kelvin timeline.

But why was Kirk resurrected? Just to zip though time and be with Spock at his death?

And what role does Yeoman Colt (whose Starfleet serial number these shorts are named for) play? She's seen in all of them, even the start of this one in a Kelvin Universe uniform looking at Project Phoenix stuff. I guess time will tell...

underestimating the power of friendship is the single biggest mistake you can make as a villain in Star Trek. like “your friends will not come for you” bro you are cooked. wrap it up, babe.

Reblogging again because this came up and it got me thinking again about how we got a katabasis only (descent into the underworld) for River that resulted in her being trapped there, while we got both anabasis and katabasis for Moiraine and Philippa.

The tragedy of River is that when Clara and the Doctor experience another katabasis in the Name of the Doctor, we find out that River is still trapped in her digital afterlife and there is no taking her back.

River Song 🤝 Philippa Georgiou 🤝 Moiraine Damodred : there is a price to pay for not dying

YES Michael deserves to be happy and play with her Pokémon in the forest. I also forgot about the guy who tries to mansplain flying to Michael and then crashes into an asteroid lolz. Many good points in this love letter to Michael Burnham because I also love Michael Burnham.

Women at Warp uploaded an episode all about Michael!!! I'm about to start work though 😭

Ira Steven Behr, during season six of Deep Space Nine: For this season, I invented Section 31 as a cautionary tale.

Current Star Trek producers: At long last, we have created a lovely little action flick based on Section 31 from the classic DS9 episode Don't Make a Lovely Little Action Flick About Section 31.
