Emotionless blank slate Vulcans stink anyway, there's a reason why the most memorable ones are Spock, Sarek and Tuvok. You never look at any of that trio and think they're unfeeling. Discovery's Spock and Sarek did this a million times better than Quinto's movie Spock

Having just rewatched the first season, I really dig James Frain’s Sarek as well. No one’s ever going to beat Mark Lenard, but he’s better than the guy from ST09.

Anovos has been advertising their Disco uniform replicas recently and actually put out some fairly interesting tidbits about the real uniforms. I’ll spare you the merchandising push, but just read this nonsense;quote:The uniforms from Star Trek Discovery are some of the most complicated uniforms ever created for any Star Trek series. As cool as they look - their intricate nature created challenges for almost every department on set, behind the scenes, for the people wearing them, and when it came time to create our replica. The new grey unis are boring as hell, but good riddance to the old skintight pajamas that only looked good on Saru and Culber.

If they'd been smart they'd have taken the L on the design after the first season and just used the "new" TOS uniforms Pike had as part of him taking over the ship.

That wouldn't change much, they're the same uniforms just with a different colour scheme

Part of it probably has to do with them not wanting to waste money making new uniforms for all the cast and extras in Season 2. https://twitter.com/TrekCore/status/1359330594619031562?s=19 Folks, it's Michael Burnham.

There’s probably a whole lot of spandex or some other stretchy material in them to keep them so crisp and form fitting. They look every bit as uncomfortable as the TNG Season 1 outfits. xerxus posted:https://twitter.com/TrekCore/status/1359330594619031562?s=19 Hahahahahahahahhaha holy poo poo That Saru finally arrived today and he looks decent, though he has the benefit of not requiring one of Mego’s godawful likeness sculpts.

Didn't someone in the production team get smug on the uniform being difficult to replicate by fans at one point, too? 'Look at how impratical our costumes are, plebes!'

I loved all the breathless coverage of the new designs like "the lining is a million nanoprinted starfleet insignia! This is invisible on television and overheats the actor after minutes of shooting, but! A million dollar proprietary tech had to be developed for wait this was supposed to be the 'pro' list"

The STD uniforms do look comfy and like something a real future spaceship crew could wear though. The TNG-era uniforms all look like cheap, uncomfortable and ill-fitting halloween costumes, htbh. e: I guess the post first contact grey uniforms do look somewhat decent when they actually fit, but those were made on a movie blockbuster budget so they were probably $10 trillion a piece custom made or something too

You'd think that once a franchise evolves past the need for boom mics, having somewhere in the costumes to stash a battery pack would be near the top of the design requirement bullet points, but there you go.

In the event of a tie, winner(s) will be determined based upon the first Eligible Entry to attain his/her score. After six deaths, it prompts you to enter a password. This is likely the "cheat" that will allow you to win the game. Notice how 7/10 high scores on the leaderboard won after six deaths. The timer also resets if you relaunch the game, so if you figure out the fail states that trigger learning the password, you could speed run to those points and then rush to the ending. It looks like the guy in first place figured it out and has the #1 and #2 positions. Pretty lovely how the leaderboard doxxes your first and last name though. Considering the value of the top three prizes, it doesn't seem like a bad way of wasting an afternoon if one of you is bored.

quote:One example - the superhero-like, smooth, form-fitted costumes presented problems every day for the sound department as there was simply no place to hide the microphone battery packs that every primary actor is fitted with. This often meant that when an actor simply turns around, all action on the set has to come to a stop to reposition a prominent battery pack. Wait, is that really how they record dialogue? Don't they still use boom mic's and/or ADR?
