I don't own anything. All right goes to the Paramount+ Star Trek

I really hope an episode in the future focuses on the Kirk brothers. There’s so much to mine there, especially considering how little was done in TOS and how tragic the end will be. Great sibling chemistry. And I’m happy for the Sam actor that he finally got something a bit more to do. Aside from a moment in episode 9 of last year where he saves Spock he’s not been given much development.

In the TOS show....Kirk had to kill his own brother....

For those who wonder where this "Fringe" theory probably came from In the early days of Space Opera sci-fi writing, E.E."Doc" Smith was writing his Lensman series of novels. In it he had several examples of extra-dimensional beings (also referred to as Nth-Dimensional beings) whose native environments were so hostile to traditional life forms that, to survive, they evolved to being partially out of phase with the natural universe into other spatial dimensions. So Star Trek is indirectly referencing one of the oldest examples of its genre here.

Neat!

@@Simmons8519 They use a simple explanation too. Think of a piece of paper as a 2d plane, now crumple into a ball. It's still 2D technically, but it's protruding into the 3rd dimension. So some Lensman aliens are 3D but they have "crumpled up" into the 4th dimension. This allows them to live on PLuto-esque worlds/dwarf-planets.

so nice to know the crew doesn't need to walk to the nearest com. (communication console) installed into the wall and press the button to talk to the bridge, like in TOS.

[@spiralx6249]

I must admit, I'm curiously awaiting the explanation of how this huge, glossy Enterprise downsizes to the TOS version...

[@mikemullen8174]

@@spiralx6249 It won't because history has been subtly changed. So a lot of details are different even though the overall flow of time stays the same. Real world explanation is of course that doing that would make their systems significantly less advanced than 2023, I mean wouldn't the Enterprise have wi-fi?

[@spiralx6249]

@@mikemullen8174 - but if you move a lot of period tech and detail forward, the knock-on effect means TNG, DS9, etc., must also upgrade... or just look like they stood still for a coupla centuries...

[@MadSpectre47]

@@mikemullen8174 Those data "tapes" they used in TOS could be super advanced SSDs for all we know, capable of storing billions of gigabytes (OK, maybe not billions, but you get it). Were they meant to be? No, in TOS they were just... tapes. Basically standins for what would, in what, 15-20 years(?) become floppy disks. But today, you can recontextualize them to be super advanced SSDs. I'm sure you could do the same with wi-fi etc... or come up with a reason why it wouldn't be practical to send invisible signals throughout the ship for communication, maybe it resonates with dilthium in subspace, maybe the frequencies wifi uses disrupts the actual dilthium crystals. Bullshit, sure, but dilithium is bullshit too, so... just go with it.

[@TheBigExclusive]

​@@spiralx6249- Most fans have given up trying to explain why everything is different. They simply just assume SNW is an alternate universe at this point (even if CBS yells on Twitter that SNW is canon TOS). There are just way too many inconsistencies to properly link SNW to TOS.

[@andromedach]

the idea they aliens are fuel is straight out of the old video game Starflight , the aliens/fuel there was called Endurium

[@kayseek1248]

Don’t forget about Equinox.

Shaky cam does not make the scene more interesting. Stop with the shaky cam please, Kurtzman.

[@buddyr3]

Is this sam Kirk’s brother susposed be bones?

[@suzygirl1843]

That makes sense, actually. When does Bones come in? Chekov arrives in S2.

[@cesaralejandrocannilla6754]

Odio el Cannon no matena Sam PLEASE

[@JohnMinehan-lx9ts]

Probably a "Spoiler" at a very fundamental level . . . .

[@lawrencehawkins7198]

Is Theon Greyjoy the showrunner of Strange New Worlds? If yes, makes sense. He and the Woke types are going to fuck Strange New Worlds right into the ground...just like what they did for Discovery.

[@TheAwesome45]

Bro Star Trek has always been fucking woke. It literally had the first ever US TV interracial kiss.

[@lawrencehawkins7198]

Newsflash, Einstein. There’s nothing Woke about the male/female of the species kissing. It was controversial because of racism and the simulated kiss. Now? You’re just a parrot.

[@rl-cx6kf]

You know, the only people who use 'woke' are no-nutting incel white supremacists, right? This is a great show. Relax.

Hey you’re drooling on your keyboard again, Chief.

(Yawn) That’s just your speed.
