I know I'm on the fringe with this opinion, but the dialogue from Star Trek has been consistent with the notion that removing the nacelles (in the eps mentioned above) make complete sense because of the original intent being that the nacelles contained the equivalent of the m/arcs in them. They were supposed to be the big dangerous massive energy creating "power pods" per various concept sketches AND per the dialogue of the episodes.

I actually did key word searches for every episode, that involved words like nacelles, power, matter, anti-matter. Things of that nature. And it was clear to me that the nacelles were the engines. And aside from internal batteries and back up power systems, engineering was the power distribution centre. Not the place the power was created.

Taking into consideration the dilitihium housing in Engineering, I figured that was similar to a traditional m/arc in that the power from the nacelles, would be routed to that housing specifically so it could take that immense raw energy and distribute it to it's various needed sources like PHASERS, PHOTORPS, life support, impulse, et c.

Long story short, jettisoning the nacelles would turn the ship into nothing more than a very slow life boat.

It all makes so much more sense. Especially when we get to TMP. The same principal could be applied.

But that's all been retconned away (somewhat unofficially for 1701) since everything post TNG. Not that it's a bad thing. I just don't really have any issue with Constitution Classes (and perhaps others), have a different power layout.

Heck, if you think that perhaps post Enterprise, Starfleet tech jumped leaps and bounds with the connie design. NEW immense power sources were so dangerous, that putting them in the nacelles made sense. And thus was born the new class of incredibly powerful Constitution Class.

Oh well. It doesn't really matter. It's just something I've always had fun with thinking about.

Well, that is true- it seems that it was more spite for Korby than any connection with Spock, Spock just happens to be a coincidental bystander.

Then again, maybe returning to the homeworld of his species mortal origins is Trelane's equivalent of 'being sent to his room' after the events of Squire of Gothos; maybe he's even been there for a while, and just hitched a ride- with his expanding, now-machineless powers- when Korby showed up. (Or, could be he went there- as some sort of locus of power left in the wake of his race ascending to pure energy beings- to train up and strengthen his powers in the first place, and elected to test them out when Korby showed up and got his attention...)

We did see Q after he "died" in Picard S2 come for Picard son and say his race isn't bound to the same flow like a time lord is also we know Q can shape shift at will so Tralane might be Q2 "playing with the 23 century enterprise crews in reverse running from his parents the reason why the mom sphere is missing fits with the voyager episode Q2 where Q said the lady Q ditched him and he had to settle for annoying small pastel equines who got him stoned twice and he dated a yellow one, it could be Squire then mom rage quits then this episode the single dad Q comes and takes him away and decides the only force in the universe that can set his son straight that's available is Janeway his God mother because the Sisko is with his mom and he's scared of Sisko and Fluttershy. Twilight Sparkle reminds him of Picard "get the buck out of my village"

Yup, if Trelane lives "outside" our time-space bubble, brane, whatever, then there would be no interference. But still... It seems Korby visited Trelane's homeworld. If it is Gothos, then maybe there would Trelanes of different ages living there at the same time, quite a complication. The main problem, the way I see it, is that TOS and SNW Trelane versions are quite mean and vengeful. So, if he's coming back to "play" with Spok, I think his actions would be much nastier than helping him to marry a steaming hot human female...

Added a few lines about Q and Trelane (anything more would be mere speculation and a waste of time).

I don't think we necessarily have to count Trelane as a 'change'- only if this takes place for him chronologically before Gothos as it does for the Enterprise crew.

But, admittedly, yeah, the Gorn are a debacle. Especially the nonsensical shift from strong and slow to fast and agile.

Well, it doesn't seem like their memory is erased, since everyone is talking about it afterwards.

Also, it can't really reframe Squire of Gothos because there is too much Trelane doesn't know there that he does know here. That's why I would reframe this is a time travel episode- at least from Trelane's POV. Perhaps in Squire of Gothos, he is 6000, or somesuch; now he's 8020, and traveled back to poke around his species' old homeworld when he spots and dislikes Korby, etc. (Him being older in his own personal timeline would also explain why he no longer needs technology to help him accomplish his feats).

I don't think tying it to the Temporal Cold War works well, especially after the Gorn and Trelane changes. Someone would have to go back in time to the Gorn homeworld and completely change the evolutionary history of the species if not of the whole planet. Even if we assume TOS Gorns were fungoid and presume TOS Gorns also "always were supposed to look like that", its a shift from a slow moving creature to a fast, agile one. Also, somehow temporal agents would have to somehow have changed the timing and circunstances of first contact with the Q/Trelanoids. Quite unlikely, I think, based on what I can remember from ENT.

So, its a Star Trek reimagination. I can think of it as a new universe if I want to keep the whole ST series/movies package as "real".

I hope the cookies are good... See, regardless if I consider SNW a reimagination/reboot/multiverse/timeline/whatever, the main factors causing my grumpyness are the rip-offs and the uninteresing plots. The lack of creativity quite often makes me fell like watching AI-generated content. Yes, DISC was much worse (my opinion), but I don't see this as being a redeeming factor...

The medical officer mentioned that the field was also running through space time so the Discovery S1 BOP might just be a House verient built by cult and was out of fashion post war. The show runner answer was trolling the Fandom. One ship becomes a barge we last saw in the Klingon under world.

In 2379, a medium-sized dispute broke out between the Kromsapiods and the Talarians over two planets in the Goliana system. The Talarians wanted to found a new colony there, unaware that the two planets serve as traditional hunting grounds for the Kromsapiods. Starfleet agreed to serve as a neutral mediator for the two parties, but due to the repeated outbreaks of violence on both sides, they wanted to play it safe and sent a small fighter escort with the diplomatic ship.

The fact that Klingons don't take prisoners, as stated by Ortegas at the end of #StarTrekSNW's "Shuttle to Kenfori"⬆️, was originally established by Captain Kirk in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"⬇️. Speaking of that: #StarTrekKHAN will be released on #StarTrekDay! :-)

Here are some of the shots not seen clearly in #StarTrekSNW's "Hegemony II" or "Wedding Bell Blues", as they only appear very briefly or upside down in the episodes. There's Trelane as the Vulcan bartender and Andorian wedding planner, the bouquet in bloom and the partially devoured Gorn victim.

This blinking display, made up of colourful horizontal and vertical lines (here in #StarTrekSNW's "Hegemony II"⬆️), is based on one of the M-5 multitronic unit displays from #StarTrekTOS' "The Ultimate Computer"⬇️. Surely an older duotronic/multitronic model by Dr. Daystrom! :-) 2/2

Here's a cool detail in the new science laboratory set in season 3 of #StarTrekSNW ("Hegemony II"⬆️, "Wedding Bell Blues"⬇️) that I only noticed yesterday: Look at the upper display between the two large wall interfaces, above the rows of vertical white light-lines. Seems familiar? 🧵 1/2

I just wanted to say: Thank you for being nice and kind and open-minded and understanding and curious and willing to stay positive (or neutral!). This really helps! Live Long and Prosper! 🖖

I found a cool new detail in a #StarTrekSNW season 3 episode, making me rewatch a #StarTrekTOS episode, I noticed a tiny but explanatory blooper (ready room) in a #StarTrekTNG episode, I found something new to love in the #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy trailer. All today. I ❤️ #StarTrek!

Inhaltswarnung:#StarTrekStarfleetAcademy trailer spoilers

I think my favourite shot in the #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy trailer is this one. Of course because it features Tig Notaro but also because I love the Starfleet Academy campus set. It seems to be massive and alive - like the Promenade on #StarTrekDS9. I also love the colours! Very much like a school/university should be and thus very different from the almost clinical and very functional Starfleet/Federation Headquarters set on #StarTrekDiscovery. 👌

I find it cool that the standby logo is still a thing in the 23rd century, at least on one part of the contraption that Scotty built in #StarTrekSNW's "Hegemony II". :-)

Here are the warp streaks, seen through the ready room window in the original ⬅️ and remastered ➡️ versions of #StarTrekTNG's "The Most Toys". Late season 3 of the show really had many warp streak ready room window FX shots, shots like that became much less common in later seasons.
