I cannot think of a single Trek series where the actors didn't sound a little uneven until they settled into their characters. Non-issue just like all the others. The proof will be in the story and its telling.
I watched the video I thought the new aliens looked like interesting characters. I like the new Starfleet Uniforms.. When it comes to the Klingons look being changed they look more like reptilian Xindi than the we saw Klingons in Tng or Ds9.
Your point being? Picard not saying "lieutenant" the British way is another instance of Hollywood either plain failing at a non-American cultural point or else overriding the non-American who actually knows the culturally-appropriate way."Lieutenant" is an American English word; Shenzhou isn't. It's a proper noun and name of the first Chinese spacecraft.
I'm fully aware of that.British English or rather... English...
Runs...

Wouldn't he be speaking French and therefore it's the universal translator's fault?Picard not saying "lieutenant" the British way is another instance of Hollywood either plain failing at a non-American cultural point or else overriding the non-American who actually knows the culturally-appropriate way.

My birthday, naturally.USS Discovery = NCC1031 = Halloween
USS Shenzou = NCC1227 = ? Winter Solstice? Long lines to return gifts at Best Buy day?
It's not hard to see the acting and delivery is stiff. It's not like there's zero context there.
Also, I've seen plenty of Sonequa Martin. She's a mediocre actress at best, and in this trailer she's bad. She also looks too young.
My birthday, naturally.![]()
Translator matrix from Doctor Who was worseThe universal translator is lazy. XD
This. The pulling apart of the trailer is starting to be very strange. It's like when the TFA trailer was dissected down to its pixel count in a major publication for details.So? I've seen Anthony Hopkins deliver lines badly. Look at Thor 2. But the guy's been brilliant in other stuff. As many have tried to explain to you, you simply CAN NOT conclude wether or not the acting is good from a trailer. You can claim you have these higher powers, but that doesn't make it true.
And looks too you?? Really?? Shatner was only 4 years older than she is when he was Captain. She's a Lt. Commander. If you really wanna complain about the age, please be aware you sound petty when you do.
Well, the DW one gave everyone a British accentNo, I mean that the translator is lazy. It gives everyone an American accent. XD
...sorry. I often fail to be funny.
The impression I got was that it was part of a Klingon ritual, and not daily garb in the Empire.Not really feeling the Klingon look, but physically they fall within the margins of the variation we've seen, the armor could be a style particular to one house, just wish they had the Mivonks to show a mix of the varieties from TOS through TNG
Which is as it should beWell, the DW one gave everyone a British accent![]()
Yes, all aliens speak with a British accent. Especially evil Imperials.Which is as it should be![]()
Even in Hollywood the bad guys are always BritishYes, all aliens speak with a British accent. Especially evil Imperials.
I'm fully aware of that.
But I chose the word "American" on purpose: The country of origin for TNG was the US. It was a word in the native language of the country origin correctly pronounced for the country of origin. I would have hoped that was clear without the need even to mention it.
Of course, it's the one that looks to be most likely destroyed.. haha.High five birthday buddy! Nice to get a ship in your honor.
