Enterprise. The series will feature fan favorites from season two of Star Trek: Discovery, Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the decade before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.    Posted:   May 15, 2020 - 8:52 AM     By:   Nightingale   (Member) https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/spock-led-star-trek-discovery-144532165.html I will say that I have disliked (and some hated) all of the new Star Trek incarnations of the last 15 years, but I will say this about that photo for this new series. They have absolutely NAILED (IMO) the look of the show. It has the classic look of the original show, but updated to modern technology. Even the uniforms are a great looking update, but looks like the old show's. Wish they could have captured this look for ST-TMP. My compliments to the production designers and wardrobe dept. I will give this new show a try.    Posted:   May 15, 2020 - 10:25 AM     By:   Last Child   (Member) But who will play the old doctor (aka John Hoyt)? And Number One certainly doesn't look like the "walking freezer unit" (to borrow from Gary Mitchell, although he meant it differently) that Pike accused Majel Barrett of being. Are they going to film themselves via Zoom in their own homes in front of green screens?    Posted:   May 15, 2020 - 10:26 AM     By:   johnjohnson   (Member)    Posted:   May 15, 2020 - 10:31 AM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) Are they going to film themselves via Zoom in their own homes in front of green screens?

I have zero recollection of him as helmsman in "Arena" and "A Taste of Armageddon." He's listed in a film about Pike which was never released - read the sole review. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4669408/?ref_=nm_knf_t4 He does look abit like Jeff Hunter-    Posted:   May 15, 2020 - 5:05 PM     By:   Zooba   (Member) Rebecca Romijn minus the Stamos can't wait to deliver Number One?    Posted:   May 15, 2020 - 5:08 PM     By:   Zooba   (Member) I think they'll be delivering "NUMBER 2" again, if Alex Kurtzman as anything to do with it.    Posted:   May 15, 2020 - 8:40 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) So now they're gonna rip off The Orville? Because Orville is New Worlds done first and done right.    Posted:   May 16, 2020 - 1:21 PM     By:   Scott McOldsmith   (Member) Pike was so well done in Discovery. In fact, I found him to be the main reason I kept watching. So, because of Anson Mount, because of his quality portrayal and his absolute love for the character and his appreciation of the love for HIM, I will give this show a a hopeful try.    Posted:   May 16, 2020 - 2:18 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) I've heard he was trouble on set. Surprised they decided to give him his own show. Though I suspect it will become the Number One show.    Posted:   May 16, 2020 - 2:29 PM     By:   Spinmeister   (Member) Pike was so well done in Discovery. Mount looks very dashing in a Starfleet uniform, there's no denying that. It's just a shame what the anti-intellectual writers under Kurtzman's watch made come out of his mouth. So no, like Picard, I won't be watching.    Posted:   May 16, 2020 - 3:08 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Pike was so well done in Discovery.

Yeah, at the end of the day, same ppl with the same philosophy (in charge) will lead to the same results.    Posted:   May 22, 2020 - 4:07 AM     By:   CrazyQuark   (Member) Apparently there's a new article on startrek.com which indicates that the humbling of Picard was entirely by design. According to the article, Picard got Captain of the federation's flagship because he was a "privileged white male" - not because he was any good, and a hero even less. And that's coming from the official side. The show "Picard" set out to "fix" things and put him into place. I dunno. I was always a fan of Star Trek because I believe in equality. What we're getting right now from Hollywood as a whole is not that. The're just swapping things around while at the same time they take every "white male" hero from the past decades and deconstruct him - because a white male doesn't deserve to be a hero and we sure won't want some small white boys getting the wrong ideas. Thanks to that I really don't know what to think about the announcement of "Strange New Worlds". While what they're saying sounds good so far, personally I thought what they were saying (and showing) initially from both Discovery & Picard sounded (and looked) good as well, imho - but they lied a lot - that, and a lot of really incompetent writing. I fear they're going to "humble down" Pike even more than they did in Discovery while Number One and Spock save the day. And what's with the other "white male" crewmembers we saw on "The Cage"? I somehow suspect Dr. Boyce will be there at the beginning but during the season he'll die a horrible death so that he can be replaced by a diverse lesbian alien doctor, who can heal people with her thoughts. Or something.    Posted:   May 22, 2020 - 6:19 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Who's surprised? No one. Will they do the same to Pike, hell yeah. Number One will be there to put Pike in his place. They've already turned Spock into a man-child. Its in everything from films, television series, video games, anime, comics. I'm done with the modern entertainment industry until these decrepit show-runners and writers get booted out of the business. We're not there yet, despite the colossal failures and loss of revenue for these companies.    Posted:   May 22, 2020 - 6:27 AM     By:   Last Child   (Member) I fear they're going to "humble down" Pike even more than they did in Discovery while Number One and Spock save the day.

Or something. your crazy, quark. There's more mork in that hypothetical. Kudos for remembering John Hoyt's character name. In the version of THE CAGE with Roddenberry giving an intro and outro appearance, he said the Network was worried that sponsors and certain audiences would never tolerate a "mixed-race, mixed- sex" crew working together. Some people perceive a loss of social power when witnessing a more egalitarian society, which is how some complainers sound today. I haven't watched ST: Discovery so I don't know how they've rebooted some of these characters, but Pike was clearly uncomfortable with women on the bridge in THE CAGE. He respects Number One because she's sexually neutral, although ironically this could have implied she was a lesbian (the Talosians say otherwise). So they set him up for future growth with his attitudes. Kirk made similar comments about women on the bridge, but I don't think he makes sexist comments against women scientists, ambassadors, etc. Likewise Pike doesn't have to be "humbled" to accept non-white male characters in positions of power. In THE CAGE, his landing party to Rigel ends in disaster, and on Talos he can't rescue the "damsel in distress" nor make an alliance with aliens. That could be seen as humbling "the Man" rather than simply real-life limitations. It was probably just as subversive, albeit more subtly, as "an lesbian alien doctor."     Non-Film Score Discussion: STAR TREK STRANGE NEW WORLDS!    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
