The split delta shield - why?

[NOVE9]

Deflectors at full intensity to deflect a rational response?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

That's it! We blame the 1960's era cameras for not being able to show us the rich detail of, well, everything on TOS.

It looked exactly the same as it will on DSC.

SOMEONE ACCIDENTALLY *cough* *cough* This whole screaming really doesn't do my throat a favor. I hope you don't mind if I continue talking in a normal tone.

Respect. I mean, RESPECT!!!

WILL WE HEAR MORE MICHAEL BURNHAM SHOUTING?!?!??

WHY IS A WOMAN NAMED MICHAEL?!?!?!?

 

[Campe]

WHY IS A WOMAN NAMED MICHAEL?!?!?!?

BECAUSE MICHAEL CAN BE A WOMAN'S NAME AS WELL AS A MAN'S! MICHAEL LEARNED, FOR EXAMPLE!!!!

WILL MICHAEL'S FIRST LINE BE, "CHECK THE CIRCUIT?!?!?"

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

AND MICHAEL STEELE, BASS PLAYER FOR THE BANGLES!

MICHAEL, ROW THE BOAT ASHORE! HALLELUJAH!

 

[The Wormhole]

DEFLECTORS SAY THERE'S SOMETHING THERE, SENSORS SAY THERE ISN'T.

Oh, this isn't a shouty Spock thread, is it?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

IT COULD BE A SHOUTY SAREK THREAD!

 

[Campe]

DEFLECTORS SAY THERE'S SOMETHING THERE, SENSORS SAY THERE ISN'T.

Oh, this isn't a shouty Spock thread, is it?

WHY NOT?!? MICHAEL AND SAREK SEEM TO HAVE SOME SORT OF A CONNECTION BASED UPON THE TRAILER!!!!

Okay, I really don't know why this is so funny but it kinda is.

 

[The Wormhole]

Okay, I really don't know why this is so funny but it kinda is.

THERE'S A REASON THE SHOUTY SPOCK THREAD LASTED NEARLY TWO YEARS IN THE TREK XI FORUM

 

[WarpFactorZ]

Oh, this isn't a shouty Spock thread, is it?

SHE'LL FOLLOW IT UP WITH:

"THE WOMEN!!!!... WHO CAN ALSO BE NAMED MICHAEL!"

 

[Campe]

I THINK I MISSED THAT ONE! I FEEL LIKE AN OVERACTING WILL FARRELL. MEANING HIM ALMOST ALL THE TIME.

 

[Tosk]

After all, it has not been used as such in TOS, TAS, the assorted flashbacks to the era, or the 2233 scenes of STXI. It's merely what the heroes wear on their chests.

And on the hull of the ships?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ WHY, BLUE WARP NACELLES, OF COURSE!

 

[CorporalCaptain]

MAYBE THE STARFLEET ARROWHEAD IS SPLIT TO SIGNIFY THAT STARFLEET IS NOT A MILITARY WITH A "BROKEN ARROW."

A BROKEN ARROW IS A NATIVE AMERICAN SYMBOL FOR PEACE.

ALSO: I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!!!

Every other Starfleet base was made of two parts anyway....oh hang on..
EXCEPT TOS AND TWOK ERA..AND TWOK WAS MADE OF ABOUT HALF A DOZEN. I AM NOT IN A PARALELL UNIVERSE BECAUSE I HAVE DIFFERENT SOCKS

 

[Jinn]

^MY SOCKS ARE ALL THE SAME, DOES THAT MEAN I AM IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE?

ONLY ON TUESDAYS. FIZZBIN. I TOO AM GLAD TO SEE YOU COOP.

And on the hull of the ships?

Except not. That was a post ST:TMP thing exclusively.

TOS/TAS had the banana/boomerang shape, while Kelvin and her shuttles had nothing to decorate their cheat lines. The delta decorated certain UESF starships more than a century before it became a UFP Starfleet thing (and certain UESPA probes a century before that); supposedly there's a connection there, but we don't know what it might be. Delta = 1st Fleet = Homo sapiens Only Fleet?
