Xenforo Cloud upgraded our forum to XenForo version 2.3.4. This update has created styling issues to our current templates, this is just a temporary look. We will continue to work on clearing up these issues for the next few days and restore the site to it's more familiar look, but please report any other issues you may experience so we can look into. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I think you or someone else predicted this earlier in the season, but Burnham did end up being credited for making Spock the character he becomes in TOS...

Also, Rebecca Romijn's contribution ended up being negligible. Her taking the role would make more sense if it was suggested to her that it might lead to a spin-off series that she would co-star in.
It might've been me, but, honestly, I think that we all suspected that, much like we all feared that Burnham would end up being the Red Angel (and, for a time, it looked like that wasn't quite accurate, but nope, it really was the case in the end). Unlike a show like Westworld, where it's highly satisfying to figure things out ahead of time, this show is so predictable that it just doesn't feel like an accomplishment to correctly guess how it'll unfold.

Burnham finally became a Marvel superhero in the finale. They have always written the story like that and have drifted towards it off and on all season, but they finally embraced it in the finale, complete with her own power suit.

I know all the news out there is denying a spin off series, but I just can't see it NOT happening. They spent the last 10 minutes of the episode focusing on Spock, Pike and the Enterprise crew. They spent millions of dollars building an expensive Enterprise bridge set. The credits music was basically TOS mixed with Discovery music.
It's going to happen; they're just keeping it quiet right now because they want the focus to be on Discovery.

Pretty entertaining season finale. Some unnecessary drama or dialog that retconned Spock's future behavior way too much, meaning the fairwell with him and Burnham. At least they managed to tie into canon the absence of Discovery, the spore drive and I assume later on, Section 31. So good job on the people for covering the mess the original/previous writers came up with.

It's not. Anson Mount is going to be busy doing something else (just my hunch that he's going to be Reed Richards when MCU does a proper F4). It also took 8 months to shoot 14 episodes. He's be open to one but it would require creative conversations: Anson Mount Open To Pike Show, But Returning To Star Trek Would Require “Creative Conversations”

I saw that news report and that's what I meant in my post about the news reports.
It's going to happen.

Too much exposition for my liking.

Agreed. Just pay the man what he wants.

It's not a money issue with him based on the article I linked.

Wasn't referring to the article, just saying, pay him whatever he wants and let him lead a more classic ST show.

Well he clearly says it isn't a money issue but rather a creative one.

I'm not referring to the article with the money thing. Give the man what he wants for salary and then you can discuss "creative" concerns later.

Several of us said it because it was outright told to us by the Discovery production staff as part of the reason we should "enjoy" Spock being on the show this season. Because we'd all want to see Burnham's Space-Jesus-ness mold him into the franchise icon he would become.

That's right, but I think that the producers said just the first part, that we'd see how Spock came to be the Spock that we know. We still had to predict the second part, that Burnham would be personally responsible for it... not that that took any great skills, because of course Burnham is at the center of everything.

Nope, they outright said this would be Burnham's doing. The relevant post was by Ducks In a Row

If I had the time, I would photoshop that gif to replace Spock with Burnham.
Then replace Kirk with Burnham too.

D'oh! It's as useless to try to win an argument with you as it is with Burnham. Like her, you're always right.

Tomorrow in HF Star Trek Thread, we'll show how I made Blender into the poster we all know and love.
