#r/StarTrekS31 ...

... your home for discussion on the new film when it debuts Friday, January 24!

In Section 31, Michelle Yeoh reprises her fan-favorite role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou – a character she played in Star Trek: Discovery – who joins a secret division of Starfleet. Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.

By looking at this picture do you prefer old over the new or the new over the old?

I’m planning to dress as Pelia for a Comicon. I have the dress and the appropriate engineering pin. What other accessories would be good? (I have her hair naturally, so no wig needed.)

Legends collide

I have seen some people ask why is Una Chin-Riley only a lieutenant commander and not a full commander when she is first officer. I will just say that rank and position are not the same and you do not have to be a full commander in order to be first officer.

Since starfleet now knows that lieutenant commander Una Chin-Riley is an Illyrian do you think that will hold her back from being promoted to a higher rank and position in starfleet?

So we know that Pike was April's first officer. We also know that in this era the first officer has another role usually assigned to them. Spock was XO and Science. Una was XO and Helm ( though in SNW Erica is Helm so I'm not sure what her second role is). So what was Pike's second role. We know he was a pilot and also in security before he was XO. If we do not know by cannon, what do you think his second role was?

Lt. (j.g.) Ashton 'Ash' Steele

I'm curious on other people's opinions about their argument/what Spock did wrong/should have done differently.

T'Pring was angry that they had agreed to meet to talk about their relationship and Spock got caught up in diplomatic duties.

But what is the correct take away here? Certainly it makes sense T'Pring is upset. She's taken time off work to visit Spock so they could talk about their relationship. But equally it makes sense to me for Spock to desire a relationship where those kind of extraneous constraints on time and how they affect both people are understood. They both have duties that matter to them a lot. I wonder how he would react if T'Pring missed a prior engagement with him because of work? Would he be less annoyed than vice versa? Is that itself just further reinforcement of what T'Pring is angry about?

The details matter a lot I guess. Firstly it does matter that they didn't literally only have that moment (I don't recall how long that bout of negotiations took). It also matters Spock did not take time off work even though T'Pring was visiting. It's also true La'an did excuse herself from the exact same duty, though it seems her presence was less vital than Spocks because Pike then had to chase Spock down. He also didn't notify T'Pring he would be late. It also matters how often Spock does things like this (a lot, it seems*) I suppose I'm wondering if we are supposed to read Spocks relationship norms as simply bad norms, or simply ones that render him and T'Pring incompatible?

• In a prior episode he stops a very important moment because a friend is missing in the line of duty. Is that the same thing? It seems like a very good reason to stop, upsetting as it is for both him and T'Pring. I can totally understand why T'Pring would be upset by that, but equally I can't imagine being upset if I were in her shoes? Is that just a failure of imagination on my part? (Edit: tbc I mean I don't think I'd be angry at my partner, at worst I'd be disappointed, but primarily worried about the safety of their friend?)

Ultimately it feels like it's okay for Spock to value duty (both his and T'Prings) however much he does, and also for T'Pring to decide that's not what she wants in a relationship. But Chapel seems to give advice that's very opposed to all this?

Can anyone in this group do the Vulcan hand sign are is it hard for you to do just like it is for me?

always have a blast rewatching this episode

Hi All!

I should have posted this last year when I created the arrangement, but for some reason it's taken me this long to send it out publicly! Since sadly there was never any sheet music made for Subspace Rhapsody, I ended up taking it on myself! I just arranged Status Report so my ensemble could perform it, but I'm happy to share with anyone interested. I just finally uploaded it to Musescore, so if you are interested, here ya go! :)

When Kirk took command of the Enterprise he had Rand as a personal Yeoman. Is that a choice for the captain to make, since Pike does not have a yeoman.

Actually, now that I think about it no other captain we see in the series has a yeoman.

I'm finally getting around to watching Season 2. Is it just me, or is Nurse Chapel the most attractive character in Star Trek history?

stoned rewatching Those Old Scientists and now I want this.

for whatever reason they cant use the tracker beam so they have to use the plot convenient back-up grapplers, cam cuts to La'an trying to hide a smile and whispers "yes" excitedly

Do you think Una Chin-Riley will ever be promoted from lieutenant commander to a full commander?

From Ep 1 CAPT Pike is so good. He takes the recommendations of his subordinates, he applies rules without sacrificing the people they’re there to protect, and he takes every opinion with its own weight, regardless of whether he agrees with it or not. I am in awe. Best (portrayed) Star Trek Captain since Janeway.

Like, he encourages La’an to get sedation, without ordering it?

Every new encounter he takes almost every recommendation for Red Alert?

He is protective of his crew while always being more protective of the planet below?

He charges into eldritch Lizard Horror first?

So good
