Me: Star Trek needs to stop bringing back old characters!
Also Me: SNW has done a fantastic job with every legacy character they’ve reprised!
I wanna see Curzon Dax in SNW. Pretty sure the timetables match up there, given he negotiates the Khitomer accords.
Emony Dax got handsy with Bones in the 2240s, and Audrid died in 2284.
In SNW’s 2259ish setting, it should be one of those two.
Emony (the gymnast) appears prominently in the Discovery novel ‘Die Standing’ that tells MU Georgiou’s journey between seasons one and two.
In the book, Emony had a covert identity as an operative for Starfleet Intelligence and was paired with Georgiou for a mission.
So, I have been hoping that Emony might appear in the S31 event movie.
While Chase Masterson’s Leeta took on Emony’s identity in the Trill zhian’tara ritual, there’s no reason to think she couldn’t be very different looking than Chase. So I am hoping Emony might be one of the yet-to-be-named female main characters.
I have not yet read this one. Would you consider it a good read?
I enjoyed it. It helped me see how Georgiou’s had already begun her journey even before season two of Discovery and it was a fun ride.
Simon & Schuster has been careful to select the best of its established ‘Relaunch Novelverse’ group of authors to write the tie-in books for its new live-action shows.
If you like the action focus of John Jackson Miller’s other tie-in fiction for Star Trek or other franchises, you’ll definitely like this one.
Definitely above average among Trekbooks, but there are some outstanding by some of the others that would place higher.
I love that idea!
They should never have brought back James T Kirk.
That’s what I originally said too but I really can’t argue with the result.
Same. SNW has been an interesting pattern for me. The powers that be will make creative decisions that I find dubious when announced (Kirk, musical episode, La’an being related to Khan), but each time, the show pulls it off. I think Paul Wesley has done a really good job, “Subspace Rhapsody” is just so much fun, and La’an is literally my favorite character on SNW.

Yeah, all of the recasts have been spectacular with this one exception; I’m fully stumped by Paul Wesley and his take on the character. I don’t need anyone aping Shatner and I love the idea of highlighting the more bookish actual Kirk as opposed to the pop culture image of him, but Ozempic Kirk spends 90% of his time looking bored out of his mind and 10% of his time doing a terrible Han Solo impression that just comes off as creepy. I cannot understand spending so much time on him when literally everyone else on screen sparkles and he has the charisma of wet felt.
I agree completely, and it really didn’t help that they introduced him in an episode that took place during an alternate version of the TOS timeframe. I’m can deal with him as a younger Kirk, but as a version of Kirk in his prime? No way.
I’m with you on the first part.
I really wish they wouldn’t continue to grow the cast. We’re starting to get into game of thrones levels of simultaneous story arcs. The original core cast was so good.
In this case, I think it would have been weird not to include Korby.
