Ugh, actually that's my bluff. I meant to say landing party. FP* Always had that habit.
Fixed.

It's a warp core byproduct that the baddies were trying to steal from Enterprise in "Starship Mine". So I suppose retroactively it couldv'e been around as long as there have been dilithium-powered warp reactors. (Never mind that in early Trek it was just called "lithium"... I don't know if canonically that was the same as dilithium).Just watched the episode. Pike mentioned "trilithium resin" in the Enterprise's warp core, but isn't trilithium a 24th century tech?
That guy!...
I'll take one last whack at this. Spock, when finally telling his Captain what the heck is going on with him, talks about how he had hoped to avoid the pon farr due to his mixed biology. The wording in the scene very heavily implies that this is his first pon farr (as he has to mate or die and seems to have done neither prior), and now that it is upon him he must return to Vulcan to marry his betrothed and mate. T'Pring, when he asks her why she does not want to marry him, speaks of having followed his career and seen him become a legend and does not want to be the consort of a legend. They haven't seen each other, haven't corresponded. At least since he left for the Academy. Vulcan propriety also seems to place a very mid-century American value on no premarital sex. So I highly doubt they were hanging out down at the malt shop or Lovers' Lane between age 7 and when he left.Was it? I can't find any transcripts that specify that in that episode.

I have not seen the new episode yet, but if that's a dead Sam Kirk, we seem to be pre-empting him dying a decade later for his brother to find him. That... sorta puts the nail in the coffin of this being the same continuity as actual TOS. In which case, forget everything I was bringing up about Spock and T'Pring. Open season on continuity. They can do whatever the hell they want.
Who's making you watch them? Wait, I thought you didn't watch this show and were done with this thread?Godsakes, every single clip from these shows makes me cringe.
I remember a book from the 90’s (I know, not canon) where it was mentioned that biologically, Vulcans HAD to mate every 7 years for the Pon Far, any other time was up to their discretion.
Ignoring me but still posting to me.
Only for the next ten seasonsEpisode 2 was also a lot of fun. I'm quite enjoying the show so far.
Pike is perhaps too good looking though.

See if he was to re grow his Hipster Beard he wouldn't look half as bad..The most agonizing part of this future envisioned by Pike was when he realized that no one understood that “9 flashes” meant “more hair gel, please….”
In this hellish future, he would be a rockabilly no more and dry, flat laying hair would be an integral part of his suffering…
With that style he would be hell on wheelsSee if he was to re grow his Hipster Beard he wouldn't look half as bad.. View attachment 1575464
Oof!With that style he would be hell on wheels
