To Boldly Go? | Continuing the Five Year Mission
With Strange New Worlds boldly going where no one has gone before, rumors are swirling that co-creator Akiva Goldsman wants to continue where The Original Series left off. But what would that actually look like?
On this week's episode of Strange New Pod, the crew breaks down what we'd want — and not want — from a potential TOS continuation. Would it take place before “The Man Trap”? After “Turnabout Intruder”? Could it even pick up post-The Motion Picture? And what about the characters we haven’t seen yet in SNW, like Bones, Sulu, Chekov, and Yeoman Rand?
We talk casting, timeline possibilities, tone, and where a new series like this could, and should, fit into Trek canon. Plus, your thoughts in the Mailbag!
