I think we just need to accept the fact that this is a full reboot.

No, it's not. TOS was made at a time when computers weighed tons and took up whole floors. It would be impossible to design what would be OK by today's standards. Just live with it.

I'm in the easy with it camp, thank you very much. How the sarcmark never took off I've no idea, its not like there's no necessity.
 
I wish a Torgo's Pizza with complimentary crazy bread would solve the problems in the fanbase.
 
I stopped watching after episode 2. Have they explained why the Klingon's biology is different yet? Or why the technology is so advanced? Otherwise, I will continue to abstain from watching more episodes.

1: Because they changed make up, as they have done about half a dozen time
2: Its 2017, its not gonna look like the 1960's

Then it's not a Prime Universe show. Because this isn't what it looks like. I want to be able to watch, but it makes no sense.
 
Besides, David Mack said things will gradually evolve to look more like a modern version of TOS. The Constitution-class starships are said or heavily implied to be a unique subspecies unto themselves in terms of design and aesthetics. Since "The Cage" was the only glimpse of the Prime timeline in the 2250s we got before DSC we have almost nothing else to go on. The Enterprise was just one starship in a huge fleet, carrying only 203 men and women.

Seriously? Ok, let's spin this another way - you're the show runner of a new Star Trek TV series. You have to shoot in 4K for widescreen TVs. People have communicators in their pockets now. You have to impress them with your visuals.

So the first thing you do is colored buttons with no purpose just to appease people that can't get past 60s sets?
 
To be fair, I only Gave The Orville three. Sometimes you just do not like something

True, but this isn't an Orville BBS. I'm sure you wouldn't jump over to one and piss and moan about it ad infinitum. That's what I don't get about people here. We get it, you don't like it. There are other subforms to visit.

And I see yet another argument about the "future" sets has started. *facepalm*

Also a fair point. I would not go to their forum and whine about all the things I dislike, things I knew about for a year.

Why should they? As far as they ( and we) are concerned there is no change. The Klingons and the technology of the 23rd Century have always looked like that.

Did you also refrain from watching Star Trek between 1979 and 2005?
 
wait for it...unless we are evolving new brainwave patterns then yes but a given three brain waves forms a simple patter there by the trek cannon is now so close around this corner that we will fall into it. just

Wait for it.
 
We've got Rogue One on the telly right now and it got me to think, how much of the reboot nonsense arises from the visual continuity stuff like star wars, and it its ability to build a consistent single narrative?

Maybe its time to special edition the whole of TOS, and TNG etc, to match current TV expectations, and all of this will go away.
SW is a fantasy world, it doesn't have to worry about today's technology being miles ahead of the 1960's imagined 23rd century.
