No, the registry doesn't appear in the secondary hull. Only in the saucer section. Having said that it doesn't appear like a kitbash ship to me. On another note, many have commented that the Discovery's saucer is similar to the Franklin's saucer. Personally I don't see it at all. To me the Discovery's saucer looks like an enlarged and widened Oberth-class saucer.
Indeed. The University of California, San Diego is by far the most brutal and oppressive regime in the entire California state university system, and their Geisel Library (named for famed WWII propagandist Dr. Seuss) is just a front for burning books. Why, it was only seven years ago that the Governator General of Kaleefornia attempted to destroy the rival Oviatt Library at Cal State Northridge with his orbital death ray.
It's been confirmed as 'the hero ship', which doesn't necessarily mean the only hero ship, but not crewed by antagonists.
I hope we get some better shots/renders of the ship with better lighting so we can see more clearly what the ship looks like.
Turtleman747 made this sketchfab 3D study model of the Discovery. It's very accurate from what we've seen so far and it will help you visualize it better. I know it made me like it even more. https://sketchfab.com/models/a4731d96aa9d48849f4f7085965be9bf
It'll look like a better lit turd. I showed the trailer for the first time to my college freshman Trekkie son yesterday: "Ewww" and "It looks like the Klingons stole Federation designs." They have to be doing that on purpose.
Colonel Tigh is far from an antagonist, an awesome XO but slated by alcoholism but we saw when sober he was exactly what was needed and given the circumstances he did incredibly well. Even when his foundation was shaken he remained a dedicated, loyal and fierce officer. BSG spoilers- If STD has characters as deep, well written and as well portrayed then maybe it can an unquestionable part of Treks story.
Tigh's one of my favourite characters of the show. The best highlight for me is the very simple and calm moment between him and Adama when he arrives from new Caprica (and his speech about the rules of war on NC), but that development came much later and he was far more failure of an officer (leading to very large scale failures) and flawed antagonist than anything to start with, from his first shot of being the resented drunk and follow up scene of starting a fight. His job - both in screen and in script - was to piss people off. He was a hero, and had heroic moments, but he was also an antagonist used to drive plot by being a bit of an arsehole. Didn't make him a terrible character, nor a villain, but his role was clear. Much like Rush was in SGU - thoguh far different as Rush was pretty much the lead.
No, because it's not some small, minute feature of the ship, and certainly not one that changes because of superficial nonsense like that. It's more than 50% of the ship itself that's effing hideous. Not the background music. Not the color of the ship. Not the little doohickeys pasted to it. It's big, honking, fugly-as-sin triangle trying to anally rape the saucer section that's the problem.
LOL. I'm sure if they played Sabotage over the trailer, everyone would have liked the ship much better.
It took me a little while to get onboard with it, but I think I like it. It works well as an early Federation / pre-TOS design.
I facepalmed a little, when someone is citing Klingon design, which is brutalistic, as an argument against brutalism.
