I mean, we all love the classics, but none of the series were perfect. SNW is excellent trek for me.
Comment on One of my favorite Star Trek tropes in any series
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months agoI have some minor quibbles with it, but compared to Picard and STD, it’s really spectacular that it even exists.
High praise that I’m not even bothered by the Kirk or Spock recasts. Even if their version of Kirk looks nothing like Shatner, I like the cut of his jib.

I was a little worried about how I’d feel about the recasts.

Without saying too much, I think their personalities are true to their TOS selves, until the caricatures the recasts were in the Abrams movies.
Nurse Chapel is the only classic character that’s been completely reimagined. She’s more more active, and motivated. She’s still got a thing for Spock, but she isn’t just some hopeless wilting flower. This does clash with TOS, but I accept it as overriding TOS Chapel.
Dr. M’Benga, who is a very obscure reoccurring TOS character is the ship’s doctor, and as is Trek tradition, has a lot of screen time.

That’s interesting… So no Bones yet?
I wasn’t ever clear on the timeline for when they all met.

Well Bones didn’t appear in the pilot or first episode of TOS, so I dont think well get more than a cameo if he shows up at all.
