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.
