I actually wish the debris action sequence with the breaking glass and killed off cocky officer wasn't beat for beat rehashed from the Kelvin movies. I'm guessing they're trying to draw the audience of those films on to this now.
Some of the tech was also going a bit overboard, especially that suit that generates around the user like Iron Man. Very superhero-ish, but makes the other shows look so low tech in comparison.
This is the kind of thing I would have been cool with for the post-Nemesis show, but pre-Kirk....errr
I agree. The suits were very much like iron man or power rangers. I even wondered where did the helmet go. It just seemed to disappear and appear out of thin air. And yeah, post-nemesis, they could introduce new suits that are more high tech. But pre-Kirk, it feels like a huge retcon. I know they are just modernizing the show to meet today's expectations of what we consider to be cool. And I am not suggesting that they make the show look like a 60's show just to fit with TOS. But clearly Discovery is going for a Kelvin movie style with a focus on flashy cool action and quick, quippy humor. It's what's "in" right now in terms of what producers think make a successful scifi show.
That's what it looked like it did! If you follow the helmet being retracted, it looks to go around the collar line and fold down into the upper part of the raised back section.Looked to me like it came from the top of the backpack.
For better or worse, though...people have to go with what's "in" to have a chance at surviving.
No clothing company is doubling-down on thin neckties, acid-washed jeans, or leisure suits right now. Unfortunately, companies that produce things for the public need to keep with the trends of the times, or be irrelevant.
Star Trek can handle it, though. We've been adapting / updating / evolving for 5 decades!
That sequence is something I'm suspending disbelief about. I have to watch again, but did they mention they dropped shields before letting that asteroid (made of an unknown substance that may have had a disastrous effect on the ship upon being brought aboard!) in?Yeah the suit doesn't come out of nowhere.
The EV Suit makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is that tractor beam they assembled in the shuttlebay.

Watching a third time, Burnham's quarters are very small compared to Spock, considering she is a Commander and he is a Lieutenant.
Considering that the Enterprise had space for 400 crewpeople but during Pike's 5 year mission only 203 were aboard the ship, it kinda makes sense that their quarters are double the size they normaly would be.
even bigger - that additional personnel needs something to do which also requires space inside the hullsConsidering that the Enterprise had space for 400 crewpeople but during Pike's 5 year mission only 203 were aboard the ship, it kinda makes sense that their quarters are double the size they normaly would be.
Did they say what it was in dialogue? If so I missed it. And saying next like that, it's very condescending.it's not a tractor beam but a gravity simulator, next ...
yep, tilly orders one from engineering to the flight deck - that was not intented to be offensiveDid they say what it was in dialogue? If so I missed it. And saying next like that, it's very condescending.
Also there is a multi-quote function.
I do not understand humans who do not want to admit there are other humans on the planet who are not replicas of their DNA and who also watch TV and spend money. Ignoramuses.The silly thing about the complaint about PC casting is that naysayers seem to think CBS is only doing that out of trying to appear altruistic for liberals and SJW, when the truth is that it's really just all about money. If diverse casting has proven anything, it's that it appeals to a larger group of audiences, thus more people are likely to watch it. It's a huge part of why THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise has become so big internationally because of its diverse casting.

Have we seen Burnham's quarters since she got her rank back? She's not still bunking with Tilly?Watching a third time, Burnham's quarters are very small compared to Spock, considering she is a Commander and he is a Lieutenant.
