[Official] Star Trek: Discovery Thread

Why does the new ship look like an NX class got raped by a Klingon D7 and spawned something truly unholy?   I hate it.. Hate, hate, hate!  It's more boxy than a Volvo!

It's growing on me.

Read somewhere that the number 1031 might be a reference Section 31 or it just can be a number

No Enterprise apparently. Its the USS Discovery. are they getting away from the old school Enterprise?

if it's meant to be in the tos era, why does it look like something from enterprise? big step back in ship design. would've like miranda class ship like the reliant or maybe an excelsior class, something's that never been a main ship in a series.

Agreed.  The show is meant to be TOS era, so the ship should at least resemble known TOS era ships, not this.. abomination. Hell, even the fan-designed Steamrunner class would look way way better than this... thing.

 

*sigh*  Well, here's hoping the casting and plot lines are actually good.  I do like the idea of getting the science and discovery back into Trek rather than all this hard hitting action we've been getting in recent movies...

i hope it's not a hybrid ship as that sounds like a silly idea, something the new movies would do. not sure which looks worse the enterprise or this early cgi poop. i really hope that is just a rough design and not finally as it doesn't scream prime universe tos at all, all it screams is enterprise era. (not that that's a bad thing, the ships looked good in that)

In fact, "Star Trek Discovery" will be set before Kirk and Spock's adventures in the Alpha Quadrant.

I don't understand why producers are so afraid of doing anything post Janeway/Nemesis.

 

Prequels and reboots aren't a popular way to get a series going. We've seen that time and time again, especially with Star Trek.

 

The only good thing I see so far from this is maybe a Romulan War.

Ugh. Why, why can't they go post-TNG. I don't get it either.

Is there an official abbreviation yet? I'm not comfortable with STD.

One word.

 

Janeway.

 

She screwed everything, for all of us.

 

Although, a series about the timeship Relativity would be pretty awesome.  This will be very unlikely, because you would need to pay royalties to the people involved with that episode.  I doubt the original contract wording specified giving up their royalty rights if a spin off series was made from that episode.

I'll bite...

 

Seeing as I genuinely disliked VOY, I agree the show spelled the demise of TrekTV, and ENT was nothing more (for 3 seasons) or wishful thinking executed poorly.  How did Janeway screw everything?

Those episodes were never aired because of explicit sexual content.

Voy was kind of bad but yeah don't see how Janeway particularly screwed everything. The show was just not great. The one who got on my nerves the most in this show was Neelix. But overall most the characters were not interesting and did not have any kind of team synergy.

I thought the poster was referring to something in storyline that screwed it.

I wanted Jeri Ryan to assimilate me. I liked Voyager.

I believe he's talking about the whole future part that Voyager showed, and Janeway being admiral later on etc, so if she's shown as being a very important character in the future, because when they're out of ideas on trek tv shows they like to pull the time travel stick, then any post voyager trek would have to have her part of it, and I'm guessing the way they showed it, it wouldn't be easy to write around?

 

I hardly remember much from voyager anyways, so maybe I'm totally off, but lets, for the love of all that's pure, stop with the damn time traveling/skipping/whatever trek stories, enough already!

AMEN!

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

how about one last time travel episode where romulas isn't destroyed and spock doesn't have to go back in time / to alternate timelime. because X captain prevents it all and trek continues in the prime univese.
