the artical was made before the trailer, and it looks better than the last 3 movies to me

I'm sure at this point they've seen the fact that the trailers have at least 1/3rd dislikes, they know that a large number of Trek purists are displeased with the way Discovery has turned out. They're just trying to save face at this point. Fact checking the plot to make sure it adheres to canon is all well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that the visual design hasn't adhered to canon in the slightest. The uniforms don't feel like a natural evolution between Enterprise and TOS despite the show being set only 10 years before TOS, and neither do the ship designs or special effects. I saw rapid fire phasers in the trailer, that's not consistent with any of the other Trek shows except for the Defiant in DS9, which was a special case. The Federation ship designs are passable as being pre TOS from the exterior, but the interiors aren't even close to feeling consistent with Enterprise or TOS. And then there's the fact that most of the footage in the trailers is action footage. The spirit of Star Trek will always be exploration, not war. Sure wars happen in the Trek universe, but with the exception of the later seasons of DS9 and one season of Enterprise, war has never been a main focal point in Star Trek. Star Trek has always put exploration at the forefront, not action. To this day DS9 still remains one of the most divisive Trek series due to how much focus it placed on War. |
There was a 4 year war before TOS, after that then there was peace and exploration. If these fact checkers is doing their job right, then there have to be a logical reason why the trailer looks the way it does.
They didn't check shit. It's really obvious they are aiming at the JJ crowd. It's PR talk.
Honestly, as someone who's been fan for some 30 years, I'm not too fixed on absolute canon facts (well except that Klingons look abysmal)...but Trek should be about exploration, science, different societies, cultures and morality, and from what I've seen from trailers, STD so far looks like Jar Jar's crap instead.
It's similar in many ways how they ruined Stargate, wanting "serious" post-BSG show, hoping for "wider audience", instead of sticking to campy show SG-1 and Atlantis always were.
That's really great that they hired "fact-checkers". Too bad they missed the part about there already being an estalbished canon of how Klingons look, or act. This is JJ Abrams garbage, with modern trend trappings, no matter how they try to play it up as being "canon".
And it doesn't matter anyway, because most people won't see it, being on CBS' exclusive streaming garbage and all.
“If you are a fan of Trek you are going to see a lot of things which hearken back to the original series and elements of the original series…I’m not just talking plot, but the spirit of what that show was. We are going to be revisiting a couple of things on Star Trek: Discovery that I think people are going to find familiar."
This is the same thing everyone said for Enterprise. It was never perfect and had a lot of issues and it couldn't recover viewership. Doing these PR comments isn't a good idea. It's better to just keep silent. If you believe so much of the STD vision. Then let it speak for itself. Because right now, the head show runners can't. They can't spoil plot right now. They need to accept a lot of people so far, do not like the appearence of the show.
| Nem said: Well... it's a rebooted universe... they only really need to check the movies... but it's nice of them to care about the old continuity. |
It's not the reboot universe though.
From complaints i've heard that is the problem. It looks like the reboot universe, it acts like the reboot universe, it talks like the reboot universe yet its the old universe.
It's like CBS is trying to grab both pies and eat them, yet pissing off both parties. The old crowd wants it to be more about exploration and not wham bam pow special effects big war. The new crowd doesn't know the old universe and thus doesn't know its history and these fact checkers as teh article is about means nothign to them cause to them all those facts are wrong.

Exactly and why this show will be the shortest lived Star Trek show in history. Sad thing is CBS won't look at their mistakes but think no one wants Star trek on the small screen anymore.
