Actually they said they recorded it phonetically I think so they can actually piece together words. http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-voice-of-star-treks-computers-could-be-coming-to-bo-1786251988
I'm guessing it would sound like Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer, except with Majel Barrett's voice.Oh so they can put together a full text to speech voice synthesizer? I didn't realize they'd gone to such trouble...It wouldn't sound as convincing as regular human speech...
Well it's good and bad to me, Is the series going to focus on cold war style submarine stories? It's a great ep but I wouldn't consider it the best "touchstone".
I'd prefer they had said The Corbomite Maneuver or The Immunity Syndrome, stories of encountering the unknown and "Discovery". Since
that is the title of the show after all.
What could this mean for Star Trek: Discovery? We already know the series will be set a decade before the five-year mission of the Enterprise and it sounds as if the Romulans will play a major role in the series which debuts in January.
I though that enterprise did pretty well with Romulus and the secret chameleon ship arcRomulans, ten years before TOS? How would that work? Time travel? Secret mission?

No matter what they do, it would feel contrived. Just like all the times ENT brought in things from other Trek series. The Borg episode was possibly the worst offender in that regard.
I loved the episode. And I love the thing. That didn't bother me.I give them a pass on the Borg episode because it was a clever way to tie it in. I never once thought if Borg survived from the sphere. However like a lot of Ent episodes, it was an overall story rip off, in this case The Thing.
...
The issue is that tng made first contact with the borg, not the nx-01.
Perhaps the 'touchstone' to Balance of Terror may be the establishment of the Neutral Zone?!
Can it be safe to say that all of the shows were from different time lines? Did TNG contradict TOS in any way?

There's so much trek out there that I can't call myself a trekkie. So these contradictions don't really bother me.TOS contradicted itself half of the time. [emoji14]
Everything post-TOS contradicts TOS in some way, because it was a regular show from the '60s, not intended to be scrutinized and form a huge universe canon 50 years later. To me it's all the same universe, and when there's a contradiction, I generally accept later series as overriding TOS for that reason. Of course it's not perfect, but sometimes you just have to roll with it instead of getting too crazy with the "head canon". That's half the reason S4 of Enterprise was such a mess. [emoji38]
