Binary Badger posted:Wasn't Kirk supposed to be fresh out of the Academy watching gas creatures suck the life out of his crewmates while serving on the Farragut around this time? SNW takes place years after that would have happened I don't see why seeing Kirk elsewhere is some big drama when the entire show is the crew of the Enterprise minus him already, and I can entirely do without the Abrams style "Kirk jumped from nothing to captain of the most famous ship in the fleet overnight" muck They've so far nailed it with character recastings so my default position is positive until proven otherwise

I still want the imaginary version of First Contact that had Sisko instead of (or in addition to) Worf.

whether you like it or not TOS is impressive for doing what it did in the time it was made with the resources availible, disco is notable for being an obvious sign of a culture in decline and a civilization's collective longing for the sweet embrace of death

TOS led to great things and I have great respect for what it was trying to do, and I love many of the actors and characters, but it's a loving rough watch these days. About half of it is solid, albeit dated scifi, and the other half is just soaked in misogyny. I was quite enjoying Disco for what it was until they hit the 'lol the evil genocidal cannibal is so quirky and fun' and it put me off.

McSpanky posted:God I wish, TOS needs to be re-remastered I've just had a thought, and probably everyone else has already gotten there, but I wonder if Strange New Worlds is trying to be that re-remaster. But on a fundamental level, like, "wagon train to the stars was a good concept but TOS had some reeeaall rough bits. Let's smooth it out and see what might've happened if it had come out in the 21st century." Oh Lord I'm gonna be so disappointed, aren't I.

It should be possible soon to remaster TOS by creating new cgi for everything except the actors' faces, even the uniforms and ship interiors, so it's all consistent with the new shows. I'm not saying it should be done, just that it should be possible.

I like Discovery and I like the characters and the plots in general I just wish every character were not trauma dumping in almost every scene. Everybody is ecstatically happy and excited or incredibly sad and emotionally destroyed, with almost no in between. It's like a Vulcan depiction of what they think humans are like

The Disco series finale is Jonathan Frakes in Vulcan makeup turning off the holodeck simulation in the 41st century. “This was our best reconstruction of the events surrounding the Discovery, extrapolating from our limited records and our knowledge of human impulsivity.”

Just do a sitcom with Tuvok in the lead and a wacky human neighbour or two. You can have the entire era show up as guest stars and break out a holodeck if you want to.

Monkey Paw finger curls, Old Michael and Old Spock spend an episode using trans-time-holos to reminisce in clipshow fashion of their respective hijinx with Picard and Kirk, with clips of them deepfaked into fan fav episodes of TNG and TOS.

Give it 20 years, and we’ll be able to download “TOS_ActorModels_16k.rar”, load the necessary patches in a speech synthesis plug-in, and we’ll be able to make our own Star Trek episodes that are indistinguishable from reality.

Payndz posted:Paramount had a phase of taking it down whenever they found it, but Foundation Imaging (B5, Voyager, TMP:DE) did a test render of a CG Spock, using Joe Pesci's "do I amuse you?" rant from Goodfellas for dialogue and mocap (or mo-imitating). Considering it's over 20 years old and was probably done using an ancient version of Lightwave, it doesn't look too bad in motion.
