Hang on, was that Sonequa Martin Green very briefly in a spacesuit there? Watched this on my phone so I'm not sure...

I think it's Celia Gooding in unusual makeup, but how fun would it be to give Spock some Burnham closure?

[–] SiliconAvatar@startrek.website 8 points 2 months ago

Could well be Gooding, the lights in those helmets play tricks with my ability to identify the faces inside. I guess I'm just jonesing for some more Burnham. It would make sense to have a Michael cameo since she more or less told Spock to find someone like her, and here we see Spock reaching out to Kirk.

Also, in the trailer she's lifting up a drone-ish looking gadget with red lights in it. Thought it might be the last red signal from Disco s2.

I've been hoping for them to bring Sybok into the mix like they teased in season 2. Imagine if they did both at once, and we got a full dysfunctional family reunion?

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That Sybock thing demands follow-up, for sure.

They just have to make sure none of the eventual TOS cast meet him...

[–] SiliconAvatar@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago

Self erasing time travel! Dream sequence! Mind wipe!

I trust Akiva Goldsman to come up with absolute nonsense to twist continuity for an indulgent fanboy stunt.

[–] SiliconAvatar@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh, both of Spock's secret, let's never talk about them, siblings? I wouldn't be that mad about it honestly.

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Discovery implied that Sybok was out of the picture before Michael came onto the scene, meaning they might even be secrets from each other! Would it be too much for both each sibling to echo fan kvetching that Spock wasn't more forthcoming about the other?

[–] SiliconAvatar@startrek.website 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll have to read up on how Sybok fits in. He was the result of Sarek having an "indiscretion", yes? But I'm not clear on how early that was, or if he and Spock were raised together.

Oh well, time to rewatch The final frontier, I guess.

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Just a prior relationship, I think. Not sure how much prior… could be quite a bit given Vulcan lifespans.

[–] TransDesiTrekkie@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m so excited for the new series but I don’t like the current owners of Paramount.

[–] inverted_deflector@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same just gunna get it through the high seas and not give them money. A shame this is where star trek fell

It is very unfortunate. I’m glad that you aren’t giving them money.
