Star Trek Discovery

[zamler]

That does look really bad, heck photographing a model from a hobby store would look way better.

You look at Mcquarrie and he's brilliant and rarely makes a misstep, but in this case, misstep. In the Star Wars universe that would be lovingly called an ugly.

So I guess it was just a rumor then that the new series was going to be about NCC-1701-B
.

Romulan and Klingon tech was relatively similar back in the day so I guess you could go either/or upon first glance of Discovery. I guess it kind of looks like an old Warbird.

I was Thinking an old D-7 which Romulans also shared the same technology. Just straighten out the warp nacels and bam, the Hull of Discovery.

K'tinga looks closer though.



Still think it is a massive deviation from traditional star fleet looks. But then again I've never delved into Phase II either. Still, for someone whos watched the series all their lives, it sticks out a bit.

I think someone was just trying to be cute and made it look like the Star Fleet logo. Which is dumb.

[Parallex]

Boo. I dislike prequels. C'mon CBS... set it 50-100 years after Voyager call the ship "Enterprise" and go.

[Strange Brew]

Other than the music, that clip makes me less interested to see this. Looks homemade and cheesy. Weird.

[OutOfTheCube]

Yeah the CG is pretty bad -- hopefully it's just a teaser/test footage type thing because it'll be hard to take seriously if it looks that bad in the actual show. Would look like a low-budget Sci-Fi channel show instead of latest series of the flagship Sci-Fi show of all time.

[Sr. Mints]

Don't get me wrong, I was as happy as a pug in an air-conditioned kitchen stocked full of food that we got Star Trek news, but that teaser felt really underdone and half-baked.

there are rumors it's a starfleet/klingon hybrid ship with a cloaking device....uuggh

Of course it is, but can it travel through time on its own or does it have to bank on the unreliable 'sun-slingshot' technique?

[craigwd]

It's been mentioned a lot that none of that was close to final thing.

Confirmed, it takes place 10 years before The Original Series.

Today during the Television Critics Association panel presentation for CBS, showrunner Bryan Fuller confirmed new details on “Star Trek Discovery,” including when the show will be set.

According to Fuller, the show will be set 10 years before “Star Trek: The Original Series.” Due to its proximity to “TOS,” “Discovery’s” look, design, and ships will closely resemble Captain Kirk’s. Putting “Discovery” in this timeline will also bridge the gap between “Star Trek Enterprise” and “TOS,” something the series has never explored before.

Yes bring back the cheap velvet uniforms and the cardboard sets.

IIRC the series should take place during the war between the Romulans and the Federation.

Someone in the comments of the article mentioned that the Romulan War took place right after Enterprise or 100 years before TOS.

Probably I'm not sure of the time lines for Trek. I would have liked to either see that or the Klingon War.

The whole exploring the galaxy thing, we're peace makers and explorers thing really dragged out TNG and Voyager. Where the Prime Directive didn't seem to matter.

As far as the cast, I think that we need

A physically handicapped Captain with mental health issues, once in a while he believes he's Peter Sellers.

A first officer who was raised by the Pirates of Persea Omicron 9. He continually shouts out "Shiver Me Timbers" and "Yar" while every suggestion he makes involves either forming a boarding party, or "rapin and pillaging"

A chief engineer with a degree from DeVry

A navigator who's sexual orientation can be generiously described as anyone any species any life form. His last name is Kirk

A angry doctor who's a firm believer in assisted suicide

A security Chief who was breast fed til he was 30.

Their mission statement

"Space . . . the final frontier, these are the voyages of the Star Ship Discovery, our ongoing mission, to deliver spare parts to the farthest reaches of space. To boldly deliver cargo on time and under budget.

This is absolutely ridiculous.




The people of Omicron Persei 8 don't remotely sound like pirates. Their love of Single Female Lawyer can attest to that.

Edit: Redacted. I read that wrong. I have no idea what the people of Persea Omicron 9 even sound like. My mistake.

So you want the next Star Trek to be a sequel to Red Dwarf? Because this sounds like something the Brits would make.

[CaptainCrunch]

I've never watched Red Dwarf so I couldn't tell you.

You are missing out.

One of the original binge watchable shows from the PBS donation drive era.

I would stop after season 6 though.

[Fuzz]

Red Dwarf is awesome. Gotta like British humour though.
