It looks way better than I expected. I was honestly thinking it would be fan-film level of quality, but this looks like they spent a lot of money on it. That being said, I don't like it. Maybe the money is part of the problem, the best Star Trek to me always felt clever and resourceful instead of overly produced like an episode of CSI. It was always about the characters and stories, the special effects were the frosting. While it looks slick, it feels hollow. It's clearly not a disaster on the surface, but I don't think the visuals will make up for all the stupid, eye-rolling poo poo they will cram into it. I think what others have said here is pretty accurate, this would be a fine show if it was called "Destination Nebula" instead of making it a Star Trek show. Just my two cents, I'm sure there is a big audience for it I'm just not part of it.

The Unlife Aquatic posted:The more I think about it, the more I feel like this continuity stasis is one of the things holding Star Trek back now. It's a franchise about the future...without a future. When the camera pulled away from Jake Sisko it became the last clear moment in Star Trek. Like a cliff face against the ocean. Star Trek needs a future again, new frontiers, not just endless prequels. Just my thoughts. Maybe they could go even further back and do a prequel set in the 1980s about the Space Shuttle Enterprise.

Knormal posted:Yep, they literally look up to see who on the crew has high ESP levels in their Starfleet personnel file, where that's apparently just a stat listed along height, weight, and everything else. Of course after the pilot no one ever mentioned humans having any kind of telekinetic powers again, so who knows what they were thinking. McCoy can give anyone telekinesis with an injection of kironide.

I think it is funny that some random planet wanted to charge everyone to use the wormhole just because it was around their system. It's not like they built it. If I see a magical portal that just happened to open up in my neighbor's backyard that could instantly transport me to work everyday, you bet your rear end I would just jump the fence and use it.

I can't WAIT to not watch Discovery. Like, as a lame and impotent protest that no one will care about. No premier on TV, no All-Access, no illegal download, just never watch it ever. It is going to feel so good to me to never see it.

The Bloop posted:“In different versions of ‘Trek,’ the Klingons have never been completely consistent,” he said. “We will introduce several different houses with different styles. Hopefully, fans will become more invested in the characters than worried about the redesign.” I wonder why they lied about the Klingon redesign when it got leaked.

The food thing goes back to Charlie X KIRK: On Earth today, it's Thanksgiving. If the crew has to eat synthetic meat loaf, I want it to look like turkey. I'm thinking it comes from NASA in the 60s. Astronauts snuck a corned beef sandwich onto a Gemini mission because they didn't like "bite-sized cubes, freeze-dried powders, and tubes of semiliquids." They even had a congressional meeting about it. So once TOS (and real life) kinda established that space food sucked, TNG had to follow that even though it had better technology. Plus it is always fun for writers to have the characters bitch about food, it is an easy way to make them relatable.

Cojawfee posted:TOS is the one literally everyone on Earth has heard of. If you go into the least nerdy venue you can think of and ask people if they've heard of Star Trek, they will reply "is that the one with Captain Kark and Mr. Sprocket?" So whenever a new Star Trek thing happens, the execs need to make sure they mention how it relates to Kirk and Spock. This is very, very accurate.

Jeb! Repetition posted:DATA'S LYING I really am enjoying your posts as you watch TNG, it makes me remember the first time I watched each episode. That exact moment when I figured out that Data was lying, wondering why, and knowing that people were starting to suspect him. It is like going back in time before Star Trek slowly slid into unwatchable garbage (Voyager) and being able to enjoy the old show all over again.

Speaking of Vulcan colors, Spock was originally going to be painted red. And have a tail. And be from Mars. And didn’t eat but absorbed energy through a plate on his stomach.

Isometric Bacon posted:In my mind I always see the result of those time travel episodes always being ' this is what actually happened' in a weird causality loop - i.e in their own timeline the Borg always invaded the past / the Enterprise crew always helped James Cromwell, Sisko was always Gabriel Bell, that one whale and the lady always disappeared in the 80's, etc, even in their own tinelines. It helps explain why minor mucking with the past isn't always completely loving up the future. JJ Trek excepted from the rule because Red Matter whatever. Wasn’t it two whales?
