Jason Isaacs Interview

Yeah, so instead of a show that takes place in the Kelvin universe, we're getting a show that takes place in the prime universe but will look nothing like TOS. I'd be curious to know which option you think is better.
What's the diff?
Prequel means before the others. It's not a guarantee of faithfulness.
We already knew it wouldn't look like TOS. So the mere fact that it's in the prime timeline is good enough.
I don't expect or mind that it doesn't look exactly like TOS. And, I'm a huge TOS fan. I *am* glad that it is a direct prequel to TOS. So, I'm good.
If that twitter photo from Frakes is of the DIS set, it looks like a modern take on the TOS aesthetic, which I'm totally fine with.
To me, the story and the setting of the story is more important than the precise look.
I'll believe it when I see it, because it looks like a reboot to me.
That photo was from the set of The Orville.
That would explain the TNG style of it. The Orville looks like it is Seth McFarlane's homage to TNG era trek.
Ahahaha. Excellent!
Of course a show (based on a fictional future of 300 years) produced in 2017 should look exactly like a show produced in 1966 (based on the same fictional future)...most definitely. Even tho the cheapest mobile phone today, looks more advanced than Kirk's communicator.

Well, at least The Orville has a trailer. LOL
What an unnecessary--and arguably irresponsible--thing to say.
I have no idea who Ted Sullivan is, but this doesn't imbue with faith he has any idea what he's doing.

How so?
They can say it is Prime. But it'll be hard to swallow, at least for me. The technology of Discovery will be based on our understanding of technology in 2017.
I can't believe over and entire series run they are going to be able to ignore things like instantaneous access to information and DNA. Things that were central to some TOS stories.
I do believe that, if successful, Discovery will be followed by a new version of TOS.

At best it's nothing more than tawdry pandering. At worst, it promotes a false expectation that's only setting the show up to fail.
