Online Series: Star Trek: Discovery - Topic II

[RobBrown4PM]

Since this thread is being bumped, here's a friendly PSA that these are true Klingons:

 

[Very Stable Genius]

OH HELL YES!

OH HELL YES!

Meh, if Alex Kurtzman is involved in any way I doubt it will be any good.

 

[Osprey]

The way that he's making a big deal out of it and exploring "new dimensions" of the character makes it sound like it's a longer part than just being in one of those 15-minute "shorts" that were announced. It sounds like he's talking at least about a limited series of 6 hours or more. I'm very interested in seeing him as Picard again, though I'm dreading how it'll turn out if Kurtzman or anyone else associated with Discovery is behind it.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

If Kurtzman is doing this then it's going to burn horribly while flying off of a cliff and on to a concrete slab.

Again, ST has some REALLY REALLY good directing and writing talent that has been sorely underused since Enterprise.

- Wolfe
- Moore
- Behr
- Berman
- Beimler
- Echevarria

Moore alone went on to create the best god damn Sci-Fi show after DS9 aired and before just recently, The Expanse.

Kurtzman is in charge of all Star Trek right now (at least the TV side), he's involved in everything in some way.

While I am VERY excited to read this news, let's call it out for what the real motivation behind this is. CBS needs a star to lure people into buying their on-demand package. This may very well be it. Hopefully, Sir Patrick is getting paid enough that he can do the Fortnite making it rain dance from the set to the bank.

Yeah, I know. I was speaking more rhetorically. Still, he's not likely to be as hands on with everything. If Nicholas Meyer gets to do his anthology projects and this happens to be one of them, for example, Kurtzman may meddle with it less because he's too busy running the main series (into the ground).

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Apparently this mess of a show is going to change the look of the Klingons once again.

[Blackhawkswincup]

LOL

Its amazing how poor a job CBS has done

Why even bother to acquire rights to ST if your going to completely destroy it

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

They really don't f***ing get it .

I was hoping this would be a change back to how they should look, but nope, it's saying it's an entirely new look. Maybe the new ones won't be marble mouthed.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Maybe they're going to take their bumpy head pieces and put it on their butts

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Hetrick then went on to note that the way Kahless unified the Klingon Empire, according to past Star Trek canon, was “by cutting off his hair, and dipping it into a volcano and forging the first bat’leth and tempering in the ocean of Qo’noS.”

Kahless took a single lock of his hair and dipped it into lava to forge the sword of Kahless, he then cooled and tempered it in the Lake of Lusor. He sure the hell didnt shave his head.

There are entire episodes, over multiple series that cover the mythology of Kahless. There's even an entire episode dedicated to the sword of Kahless.

You think they watched any Star Trek to prepare for this?

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

I expect that at some point this season, we'll see that the Discovery has the emergency combat flight stick control like Riker used in Insurrection, and we'll get an emotional Spock flying and fighting the Discovery by himself while screaming "Yippee Ki Yay MFer. "

Ron Moore isn't doing The Expanse, is he? I thought he was doing Outlander, which I have not seen.

He is doing Outlander, but I was referencing BSG. I referenced the Expanse to say that it's eclipsed BSG as the best Sci-fi since it

Ah ok. I'm waiting for Season 3 to come on Amazon Prime, but yeah I'm enjoying Expanse a lot.

and we have our spock

I know this is a common complaint but...

Got damnit. The Star Trek universe is huge. Why do we always have to have a Spock?

I hate this world.

The good news is that if Quinto asks for too much, they can just cast the new guy in the movies.

 

[The Nemesis]

**** you, established timeline of events! You liked it when we had Enterprise encounter the borg in the lamest, canon-violation-skirting way possible that let us claim that we didn't contradict the episode of TNG where they debuted? Well you'll love this!

Watch them try and weasel out of it by claiming that this is some fantasy 3rd timeline that's not the abrams-verse (Which it can't be since Pike never really got to command the Enterprise except for in the first movie. And then he died) and not the prime timeline (which it won't be if they start doing what everyone hated about Enterprise: flipping the bird at established canon in favor of shallow, lazy, marketing-department-recommended fanservice winks)

EDIT: I'll at least grant that the new Spock doesn't look like a horrible fit. Obviously judgement is withheld until we see him in proper costume/makeup and actually acting the part.
