Consolidated Trailer Thread

[mdtauk]

There was talk about this being an Anthology series. What if it is constantly flashing back to Burnham's time on the Shenzou and her time on the Discovery? So it goes between a Kelvin style look, and something closer to TOS/The Cage? Literally bridging the gap between both time periods?

(or maybe I am just hoping there is an explanation for the interior styles)

Part of the problem is casting a bad actor as the lead. But I'll give her a chance to prove me wrong.

The uniforms have the Star Trek/Into Darkness uniform delta pattern on the side panels!

Seriously, if we had not been told otherwise I'd swear it's a series set in the Kelvin Timeline.

Did anyone notice the Shenzhou bridge seems to be on the underside of the ship? And: It has a Kelvin-timeline style bridge window. Prime timeline my ass.

Uniforms are like TNG and DSVGR uniforms, I guess?

In what way?

 

[mattman8907]

i'll give it the 3 episode rule. It has 3 episodes to capture my attention.

 

[The Grim Ghost]

Looking pretty cool. Of course there was some stuff that I liked and some stuff that bugged me a little (very little) but that is to be expected. I'm excited!

That flashback of the child. What if Burnham has Vulcan heritage?

Gratitude. This old TOS fan (watching since 1969 at age 6) LOVES IT!

- The uniforms are very nice (IMO) and fit the period.

- The Starfleet Delta uniform emblems are wonderful too

- LOVED the bridge set (Yeah, it looks more akin to the U.S.S kelvin Bridge set from the JJ Verse; but hey, the color scheme definitely harkens back to the Bridge color scheme of TOS - "The Cage" and I'm fine with that.)

- Loved that they did seem to keep elements from the look of the TOS era Transporter effect. It's different; but again, "The Cage" transporter effect was a bit different in sound and slightly different in look from what became the 'standard' TOS transporter effect.

- LOVED her Communicator.

- LOVED the overall tone of the characters and setting. This AIN'T going to be 24th Century 'Boardroom Star Trek" - we're definitely BACK in the 23rd Century folks,

- As for the Klingons, they too barrow more of their look from the JJ Verse - but again, I'm okay with it.

In the end: Damn I WAS going to wait for the Blu-Rays; but if the pilot episode broadcast on CBS does in fact look this good; and I find myself liking the start of this story; I may indeed pony up to see it on CBS All Access. And like most here, I too do not think the ship shown (and Commanded by Michelle Yeoh's character) is the U.S.S. Discovery. We'll probably see it a few episodes in.

But yeah, IMO it looks good; and it looks faithful to the 23rd century Star Trek era - but that's me.

Two new aliens that caught my attention.

Personally I never judge acting on trailer, bits from all over the place cut together don't give you a true reflection.

First thoughts: the production vales are PHENOMENAL!

 

[johnjm22]

Unfortunately, the dialogue and the acting appear lacking in polish. I know many series require some time for the actors to enter into confidence with their characters and that we didn't get to see much material about it, but that's the impression the trailer gave me...

Yes the acting is very stiff. That was the case with TNG initially as well. TV shows these days usually don't have this bad of acting, even if it's the first episode. This has me worried. If they don't get the acting/dialog corrected early on, this show will be in trouble.

It's a trailer. As @MadeIndescribable mentioned above, trailers are bits and pieces of scenes sewn together. You can't gauge someone's acting ability just from a 2 minute trailer that's trying to cram a lot of things in at once.

[Michael]

Yeah, looks like there's a personal connection between Burnham and Sarek, interesting.

Yeah, sure looks like it. Looking at this promo pic there sure seems to be a Vulcan connection.

 

[RAMA]

There are androids, enhanced aliens, and transhumans on the show. This might be my favorite Trek show already.

TNG, DS9 and VOY all got off to a rocky start to one degree or another. The desert dialogue seems a little awkward but that may just be how it was edited. Everything else looks pretty solid to me.

 

[Tuskin38]

Is that the discovery between the fingers?

 

[Amaris]

I just watched the trailer for a second time, and now the tingly feeling has kicked in. Also...

Yeah, sure looks like it. Looking at this promo pic there sure seems to be a Vulcan connection.

I may be in love. ♥

The "computer enable igniter" scene gave me some good feels like Spock heading into V'Ger kind of thing! I've always wanted to see a bit more EVA type stuff in Trek so this is cool for me.
