Trailer #2 - Consolidated Discussion
- Thread starter { Emilia }
- Start date
For about 8 million dollar per episode, the starship effects really look a bit "Star Trek Online-y", I have the feeling most of the shots are not quite finished or say, polished. No surprise, given the show airs in about two months which is still quite some time if you think about it.
Production values look great, obviously this show will have fantastic special effects of (expensive) near movie quality. But honestly, it's just a trailer, we still don't know a damn thing about what the show is actually going to be about, other than a Klingon war. But now we know the (new) Klingons have bad ass ships and new dressmakers.
The only real thing I got out of this trailer is that Mudd isn't going to be the stupid silly dumbass he was in TOS. And that right there is very encouraging since he's going to be in so many of the episodes. I'll give it an A- on that alone.

What are you smoking?
I'm guessing Burnham is on the Europa as a child when it gets destroyed. Sarek is there attending to her when she looks injured. I bet you he adopts her and that's how she ends up being raised on Vulcan.
How? I can't think of any time in TWOK that an air containment forcefield would have changed anything. If anything, it would explain how so much could get shot up in the engineering section without opening that huge room to space.
In Mudd's Women he seems like he's only pretending to be a silly dumbass when dealing with Kirk, he's more serious and ruthless when alone with the women - of course, they made him comic relief in I Mudd.The only real thing I got out of this trailer is that Mudd isn't going to be the stupid silly dumbass he was in TOS.

I thought the second trailer was good. The production values for this show will be very good if they look like the trailer throughout. I also like what I've seen of the Starfleet cast so far. I like Sonequa Martin-Green as the lead.
What bothers me is James Frain as Sarek. I know he's a good actor but something about his delivery is lacking to me. I wish they had gotten Gray Graham as Soval instead. I also think the technology looks too advanced for this era.
And I'm not feeling this take on the Klingons. Perhaps once I see them in action I'll be more okay with it. But they look too different than what we've seen before and their armor and ships look too different. I really hope the proto-Klingon idea is real. Though I would really like these guys to be the Hur'q.

There was a force field on the Ent-B. I think it was even used in ST:C. Again, just because things weren't shown, it doesn't mean it didn't exist. It was **1966**.
I'm not crazy about Frain's voice as Sarek. He sounds almost as if he's narrating rather than speaking in a character role.
Yeah, right.
This looks great. I'm interested now.
The line in the trailer "Challenge your preconceptions or they will challenge you" is used in an early Enterprise episode. Trip Tucker had a visiting Vulcan teacher in high school who repeated it to the kids.
As other posters have said, they did have forcefields in TOS, there was one in Where No Man Has Gone Before (pilot #2). That said, the do seem to love themselves some forcefields in Discovery. First thing I noticed the second time I watched this trailer.
^ Snap.
Wasn't Gary Mitchell locked behind a powerful force-field in an episode of TOS?

This trailer is amazing. Much better than the first. Really excited to see the characters. Rainn Wilson as Mudd put a giddy smile on my face. Sarek sounds awesome. And Sonequa Martin-Green looks like a very confident, capable hero. Goes without saying this will be the best looking Star Trek show ever put to film. Stunning visual effects.
My only minor frustration is we didn't get the glory shot of the Discovery that I was hoping for.
