Toshiro Mifune really should have been in so many 70s sci-fi movies. I love Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan but I would kill to see what Mifune would have been like.

That looks terrible. The longer I watched the more Disco grew on me. I keep meaning to buy the deluxe Eaglemoss model but I don't really have a good place lined up to display that inevitable rabbit hole.

TBH as a model it's not bad but if you like the bells and whistles old school Hallmark ornaments used to have get ready to be dissapointed. It has like 1 or 2 lights that barely light up and that's it.

Supposedly they just use the TNG theme, no changes. Edit: They should have the credit sequence should be the same as TNG, but with Picard's face in place of the Enterprise.

Yeah it has a "mixed" rating on imdb so I assumed reviews were out but it's just people who've seen it and liked it (lot of 10/10s, so take that with a grain of salt. I can count the number of perfect score shows on one hand) and straight up poo poo for brains who haven't seen it giving it zero stars because Stewart's an America hating communist. So basically no useful info yet.

Yeah, like you I have severe reservations about the creatives. If the stench of Akiva Goldsman (who ran Discovery Season 1's writers' room) and Alex Kurtzman wasn't attached, I'd probably be more optimistic. I don't have All Access and I burned through my trial a couple years ago, but my approach is basically "prepared for the worst, hoping for something decent."

Actually I just went back and checked out the imdb reviews, aside from the couple of 10s and 1s there's a single review from someone who's actually seen the show. It's a positive review at least... e: Tighclops posted:Is there actually anybody around here that doesn't want to be pleasantly surprised? I mean I thought it went without saying You'd certainly hope so. But you still get the occasional poster drop a "you just want this to be bad" take so I guess that's where the defensiveness comes from.

When the first episode of the Doctor Who revival leaked in 2005, the theme tune on that wasn’t the new arrangement, but the original 1963 theme.

MikeJF posted:Fuller's Disco would probably have been more TOS-compliant than the Disco we got. Fuller was very much a TOS fanboy, which is why the show was set when it was, but the people who took over clearly didn't care about fitting into TOS that much. I think he's on record as saying he intended it for to look explicitly like "The Cage," with the muted-color turtleneck uniforms and such, and ship design elements based on TOS.
