I for one am excited. I get there are issues with the show, but that's true of ALL Trek shows in their first two years.

TNG seasons one and two: TOS stories being told 20 years too late, with pompous, arrogant, and even stupid characters with no functioning brains

DS9 seasons one and two: Deep Sleep Nine

VOY seasons one and two: The Kazon. Need I say more?

ENT seasons one and two: TNG/Voyager retreads

Trek shows take time, but usually mature in their third seasons.

While true, basically I can skip Discovery Season 2 and wait for the 3rd season

You never know. Season two may break that three-season rule and turn it into a two-season rule.

I saw someone on TrekBBS that dislikes the DSC Connie, not because it's different, but because it's not different enough.

STO has given us a good look at the Tellar logo created for Discovery. Before DSC the only Tellar logos we had were in non-canon material.

The writing on it is based on Tellarite writing seen in ENT.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #365 on:** October 15, 2018, 05:02:51 PM »

Vulcan Sector perhaps? One of the areas they use in STO from the old galaxy map divisions.

This is bound to happen. We're the old generation of fans now, much like how the generation before us was with TOS. Realistically, a lot of people want something super pretty and modern and different than 60s/late-80s/90s looks.

I wouldn't have minded if they used the TOS design, I also don't mind the new design I love it.

Well yeah, of course people like you or I wouldn't have minded - we're long-time fans. This is the stuff we watched as kids and grew up with. The younger audience, or the people who just never thought Star Trek was "cool" until JJ Abrams did his movies, they're the ones that CBS is playing too who will want "new" or re-imagined modern versions of what we watched.

A little hair makes the Discovery Klingons look like Klingons.

A bunch of concept images for the DSC Enterprise. God it looks SO much better with the TOS Style straight pylons instead of the angled TMP style ones.

Allegedly the designer of the new makeup didn't want all of them bald in Season 1, but Bryan Fuller was adamant about all of them needing to be bald.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #373 on:** October 21, 2018, 05:56:56 PM »

Now if only they re-added the eyebrows as well, and we'd have proper looking Klingons.

Still a far sight better than the abominations we had in Season 1.

Straight nacelles on the Connie definitely looks better.

It's amazing how such a small change can make a HUGE difference. And it was an easy fix too.

Why they didnt just give them hair in Season 1 is beyond me...

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #375 on:** October 22, 2018, 09:53:56 AM »

I ran into a DSC fan that was really upset they gave them hair, he liked that they looked less Human, and putting hair on them was a step backwards.

Bryan Fuller demanded they be bald. You’d have to ask him why.

Though a bet it’s sonething silly like “To make them more alien”

There was a Klingon with eyebrows in the trailer. Not sure why they didn’t give any to L’Rell.

CBS plans on filing a dismissal against that game creator suing them

I'm not lawyer, but they seem to have very solid grounds against him.

Like, did he really think he could claim copyright on a scientific fact that tardigrades can live in space?
