I'm a little surprised by own non-reaction to it. I'm mildly curious, it looks nice enough but doesn't really excite me (nor do I hate it, just kinda...eh). Maybe some longer scenes with some context might change that. I'm surprised that it looks as much like Enterprise as it does though I suppose it should.
The Kilingons will take a little time for me to get used to. I am used to the "Worf looking" Klingons. Tell me who are the "Ancient Klingons?"
I actually don't mind the updated visuals. But I hope the show will have those ingredients that made Trek so great: optimism about humanity and the future, some fun adventure, and some thought provoking scifi concepts. And some seriousness is ok but I don't want the show to be super dark and serious all the time. Basically, I don't want Stargate Universe or nuBSG.
Did anyone notice..the bridge actually looked closer to a dome..like this: http://ottens.co.uk/forgottentrek/w...bridge-concept-art-by-Pato-Guzman-870x773.jpg Also, Trekcore caps: http://discovery.trekcore.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=11&page=2
I suspect that the show might explain the new klingon look that these klingons are awoken from the sarcophagus ship. So these klingons might be really ancient klingons, sort of "neanderthal klingons". That would make sense.
Agreed. We haven't seen a star trek TV series since 2005. HDTV was just starting to become standard in TV shows. Everything looked like a TV series(duh) Even Enterprise for all it's trying to change things looked like a TV show on a network. Now we have HD in everything and shows don't look so much like a TV series. They look like mini movies due to better camera's We can't go back to 480p "Voyager" level effects and TV standards.
I was surprised how strongly the uniforms, ship interiors, etc. reminded me of Enterprise. I guess that's how they're getting across the "prequel-ness" of the series. Not pre-Cage, but post-Enterprise. Michelle Yeoh's captain seems so much like the traditional Starfleet ideal -- "Starfleet doesn't shoot first" -- that I suspect she won't last long and our hero will decide that a more hard-nosed approach is required to survive, and that's where all the talk of "grittiness" comes in. Honestly, though, my strongest impression was that I could be watching any generic Star Trek-ish science fiction TV show. Maybe that's because it seemed kind of flat to me. It satisfied my curiosity, but it didn't rock my world. Still, you can't judge the whole show by the trailer.
Same here. So far I still havent emotionally connected to this new show. It still leaves me cold. I have responded more emotionally to the Orville trailer. It feels more Star Trek to me.
Because Orville looks like Star Trek you remember fondly. The new series hasn't had a chance to establish an emotional connection with you, just yet.
Same here (lurker) super excited to get new trek. I watched it with my daughter, not that she will remember cause she's 1
Well that was certainly better than I expected. Curiously there are no good shots of the Disco herself besides that of her whooshing out of the clouds, which isn't that good since you don't get a clear view of her. Even if it looks radical. E3N, how did you survive?
