No, there’s an offhand mention or two, but nothing impactful. The most important tie is Pike being aware of his fate, but they recap that pretty thoroughly.

I will always root for Trek to succeed. I’m hoping that by including Rachel Garrett, this isn’t too timey-wimey and we get a well written TUC-TNG lost era story.

He’s also been regularly compromised by sketchy backdoors placed by the manufacturer in his firmware and remote code execution exploits.

But to be fair, anybody on the bridge who knows how to work the consoles could kill everyone aboard if they wanted.

What if it’s a micro-replicator that makes marshmelons on demand? And what if I told you it could also make sausages, carrots, skinny cucumbers and taquitos like they have on those roller grill things at the gas station?

Not so stupid now.

It’ll do M&Ms too, you just have to shake it into your hand.

The Klingons oversell their whole honorable warrior schtick, especially to outsiders. They’re not a monoculture but it’s far less “cool” to be a nerdy scientist in Klingon society than, say, Starfleet, but they’ve still got them. They’re just not celebrated to the same degree. They pay for that by being a bit behind the tech curve, imo.

Fortune favors the prepared. Better to have them in your luggage and never need them than to need them and not have them.

I don’t think 24 episodes will be happening any time soon, but it would be nice to have 12-14. Ten is so few, and with the ongoing strikes, it’s going to be a while until another season happens.

I don’t think it had anything to do with the show itself and was a purely financial move.

Companies across many industries are being told by their investors to cut expenses yesterday and they’re abruptly shutting things down, laying people off, etc. Even if they’re profitable.

Pike is absolutely the kind of foodie who’d keep a supply of real bacon aboard. The good stuff keeps a while and they’ve probably got stasis fridges. I’m sure he’s got a whole network of food purveyors across the quadrant to restock with meat and dairy every starbase visit.

I’d really like to see them bring Bruce Hemmer back as a new character. That’s what I hoped for when I first heard we’d see him again in Season 2.

I would like to see a Short Trek of what went down during that 16hr+ road trip with Kirk & La’An
