Poll Do you like SNW and Discovery? (Poll)

Absolutely love Christine/Spock. It's the core of the show.

 

maybe I will find out one day

 

Actually no. Because there are so many things that different between SNW and Discovery season 2 in Aesthetic department. Specially the looks of Klingon. The Enterprise uniform also different, although they have the same design. And the Enterprise Interior, where in Discovery they looks so red.

For me, it feel that they come from 2 different dimension. Although both of them share the same events. But even with that, there are a lot of tiny difference between the two of them.

 

SNW is nothing like Discovery.

 

So...TOS to TMP to TWOK.

 

The looks of the Klingons also changed from DIS S1 to Dis S2 as well. And there’s nothing preventing the DIS Klingons and SNW Klingons from sharing the same screen at once. It would be better that way, seeing as they are an empire and empires are diverse.

Which were just Disco uniforms spraypainted to resemble TOS. Even though they should have look more like the uniforms specifically from The Cage/WNMAGB, but that’s a different thing.

The Enterprise was also really dark. The red was to liven the ship up.

 

They did, briefly. It was the second season SNW episode with the Klingons, the "new" Klingons are in the foreground, but some background Klingons are definitely in the DSC prosthetics.

 

The sides of Dak'Rah's bald head felt pretty DSC-like. More Season 2 since no elongated head.

And it was the same in DSC Season 2. Any Klingon with a full head of hair used the new makeup, but there were still some bald or mostly bald Klingons still using the Season 1 makeup.

 

They feel similar because of the newer effects and similar set quality, but I feel they're completely different tonally. SNW I enjoy more because of the ensemble cast and semi-episodic structure, and DSC I dislike (generally) because of it's serialization.

 

SNW: Yes!
DSC: Dear god, NO.

 

I enjoy SNW very much- I am not a subscriber but purchased the discs when they were released. I saw some clips on line and was very impressed.

I respect STD's visuals and SFX, but I do not care much for the stories and characters. I have also seen a lot of clips, much more than SNW, and nothing I saw made me want to watch a full episode.

 

I like both, but SNW much more than DSC.

 

It's odd, really. I liked the first two series of Discovery but thought the setting(2200s) was wrong, and generally find the most recent 3 seasons underwhelming but the setting(3100s) works much better for me.

In defence of the latest season, I do find the search for the TNG macguffin quite fun, so it's already the best of my least favourite seasons.

SNW just hit all the right notes from the get go.

 

I like 'em both, although I prefer SNW. It's my favorite Trek series of all time.

As for the visual differences between DSC's treatment of the 23rd century and SNW's:

I suspect that if the creators of DSC had known that SNW was ever going to be a thing, they would have made DSC look a bit more like TOS.

I mean, SNW only ever arose because of all the fangeeking about Pike. There's no way TPTB could ever have known the fans would demand a Pike series AND GET IT. Given this, I'm having a hard time blaming DSC's people for not having enough of the TOS aesthetic.

I'm down with the explanation that:

- The DSC Klingons are the result of a botched attempt to cure the Augment virus

- The reason S1 L'Rell looks so different than S2 L'Rell is that, as Chancellor, she had easier access to treatment to reverse the above effects.

 

I always felt the Discovery era starfleet ships looked more post TNG in design. They had some cool ships but I just couldn't see them as evolutions of the Enterprise Era.
Pike's Enterprise fits better, still higher tech in appearance than Kirk's but not super sleek wedgie like the USS Shenzhou..

 

The Shenzhou looked nothing like a wedge? Nor does it look sleek.

I agree that the other ships looked too advanced for the 1960s version of the TOS era but not for the visual reboot version., but in no universe do they look more advanced than TNG.

They’re too blocky, they have TOS movie era style phasers emitters and decals, and TOSish round bussard collectors

 

There definitely a little NX-01 in the Shenzhou's "DNA"

 

Will do
