Was that Patton Oswalt as a Vulcan? Maybe he’s Sybok! And Rhys Darby looks like he could be playing Trelane.
I adore how campy this looks, but I’m so frustrated by the constant shoehorning of Kirk into the show. Maybe if the performance were interesting or there was something compelling about him it would be different, but he just seems to drag down the show whenever he appears (outside of the episode with La’an, but really, she was doing all of the work in that one).
I agree he’s not the best Captain Kirk, but I did enjoy his performance in the time travel episode (might have just been the writing and La’an performance like you said, though).
Now what we need is more George Samuel leaving crumbs and annoying Spock energy. I mean, the dude’s only got 8 years or so live… Give our boy some screen time!
It’s still so weird that they got the one completely charisma-free actor on the show to play Jim Kirk, and yet Sam Kirk lights up every scene he’s in
I have no beef with Paul Wesley - young Kirk was described as “a stack of books with legs” back in TOS, and I think that comes through in the performance.
But Sam Kirk is an absolute delight.
This is a very good point. We’re supposed to be seeing how he becomes the Kirk we know.
I cant wait. I’ve loved all the Star Trek series except Discovery. I just couldn’t get into it, and I tried hard. Maybe I’ll give it another go before this comes out.
The only part of Discovery I enjoyed was the time with Pike’s crew, SNW is a far better show and I’m excited to see more.
@[email protected] that’s because Discovery is just bad fan fiction.
It makes Enterprise worth watching.
Perfect. After Discovery, Enterprise is the next weak link. Everything else is pretty great.
Enterprise getting a second lease on life by virtue of no longer being the worst? I’m here for it 💪
@[email protected] it’s been a long road, gettin’ from there to here
I was waiting for this to be busted out reading down that comment chain. Surprised it took so long.
Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.
You mean perfect, right!?
Oh my yes.
Please more Andorian content, please more Andorian content, please more Andorian content, please more Andorian content…
Not to be that guy (I am 100% that guy), but that’s an Orion.
There are blue Orions with antennae?
In this case, yes. The character Kirk was fighting in the gif you posted was surgically disguised as an Andorian to disrupt the diplomatic talks regarding the dilithium mining world, Coridan, in the episode “Journey to Babel”.
The Andorian in the screen grab in your second comment is an Andorian.
Good catch. I’m going to have to re-watch TOS.
