[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8395389, member: 177"] Hm. You know, there's a chance that they're recycling one of Roddenberry's ideas here... Anyone watch [I]Andromeda[/I], back in 2000-2005? Remember the character Tyr Anasazi? [spoiler="some bits about Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda"] This was originally a Roddenberry concept, re-adapted by Robert Hewitt Wolfe, and produced by Majel Barrett. In it, there's "The Commonwealth", a generally beneficent interstellar union, that is brought down by treachery. One of the ships of the Commonwealth Navy, the titular Andromeda Ascendant (which is sentient) and her captain Dylan Hunt, wind up launched into the future, to awaken to a fallen Commonwealth, which they then proceed to try to revive. Now, much of this we have seen on Discovery - launched into the future to find a fallen Federation, a ship becoming sentient, and trying to rebuild. But, we can also look back to how the Commonwealth fell - at the hands of a eugenics-minded, genetically engineered people (originally of human stock) called the Nietzscheans, who are really a continuation of the concepts introduced to us in Space Seed and Kahn Noonian Singh. So, like they are reusing some of Roddenberry's ideas in Discover, they may be using others in Strange New Worlds, where La'an is playing the same basic role as foil for Captain Pike...[/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
