What robot?
It's on this page of TrekCore's screencaps. 3rd column, 4th from the bottom.
Obviously it's potentially a person with a helmet, but with the screens on the front and lack of vision combined with Fuller eagerly pointing out there were robots, it's a reasonably safe leap.
Thank you
. I didn't catch that in the US trailer and I don't think that is in the Netflix trailer.
Thank you
I had already seen it at the link, but thank you.
Looks like what they were going for with the Axanar bridge (you know, if they'd actually been about making a fan film instead of launching failed film studios and using fan funds to pay all their expenses)Stumbled on this neat gem. Redesigned Cage Era Bridge:

I don't know the full details of that story, but if people were donating money that is their own foolishness. Why would anyone pay for someone else's (who they don't know) fan film?
Because it looked like a reasonably good facsimile of 1990's Trek and used a cast of Trek veteran actors (and one non-actor self-insert in the lead role)
For the whole story, put aside a month or two and read this thread: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/cbs-paramount-sues-to-stop-axanar.278077/
That is not a very good reason to donate money.
I agree, but apparently it was enough to raise about $1.4 million... which was all spent on things other than making the movie that was promised.
First of all @King Daniel Beyond that made me rofl (The Axanar part). Secondly, lets please not let this thread go down the Axanar road (another thread for that in this place called fan productions). Thirdly, I'm really hoping the Discovery Bridge really sets itself apart design wise and isn't just a Connie rehash or a simple redressing of the Shenzhou Bridge. Take Pacific 201's bridge design for example. It's neat, new in its own way, but also hearkens to so many other design aesthetics that really makes it shine. Star Trek is all about making something new that evokes to the audience science, technology, space, and the future. Something that charms fans with throwbacks to the old, and inspires new audience members to look to the stars and go, "Man I wish I could be up there with them right now". It's about creating that magic. When I look at the TOS Bridge design I think 60's space adventure. When I look at the 70's and 80's film bridges I think an epic space adventure. When I look at TNG I think wow I'm at home here in space with all these folks (almost like a space RV road trip). When I look at VOY and DS9 I think survival, I think military, and the lighting and set design really evoke that pressure into the show (especially those desperate bridge scenes). Finally when I look at ENT I think wow this is the beginning, it looks so much like today, and NASA, and relates to the now versus some far off future. As much as I want Discovery to hearken to the The Cage and the pilot era and make that temporal relation for me as a fan I also want it to really set itself apart. Be what it can be, look as good as it can get, and hopefully (god willing) tell a phenomenal space story that once again draws me up into space hoping to one day say "Take her out".

I know this is beating a dead horse (or like playing wack-a-mole) but the ship created by both Ken Adam (of James Bond fame) and Ralph McQuarrie was concepted for the un-made film "Star Trek Planet of the Titans" from From 1975-1977, then it was shelved, and then Star Trek II (as it was called then) started production and the Adam/RMQ design didn't figure into anything else moving forward (as Ralph was busy on Star Wars/BSG/Empire) and Gene had been borrowing Matt Jefferies from Little House on The Prairie. It was never meant for Phase II.

Since it isn't your money, don't worry about it.
If it had been aiming for nineties Trek I might have liked it. It was definitely not aiming for that. It was a seventies/eighties TOS fandom wet dream with Fasa stuff. I will now come out of the closet....TOS bored me. The films and Bergman era was superior at the time.
And that's another "No."
I love the joy of differing opinions on occasion. I never enjoy bad spellchecks while hoping the site doesn't crash again.
I really missed Professor Bergman in season two....
Well, mine does on iOS. Until I prod it and tell it not to. It also offers Herman now. I write berman, it autocorrects it to Bergman.
