Season 2 Episode 1 is free to watch on the CBS All Access Youtube Channel (USA Only)

To what in-universe precedent do you refer? The only one I am aware of would be the Antares crewmen in TOS.

The Antares, the Romulan Neutral Zone Outposts, DS9 uniforms and TNG uniforms (and not just in Generations), and even on VOY.

Is it that implausible that a uniform could vary from assignment to assignment? :shrug:
 
People have been posting in the comments thread under the video about the show being cancelled? I'm at work and can't do much digging. Does anybody know what the hell they are talking about?

There was a tweet from Anson Mount (Pike) stating he was experiencing unemployment:

Some took it to mean: "Hey, Discovery has been canceled..."

It was more likely that "Hey filming of ST: D Season 2 has wrapped."

No decision has been made either way as yet; but honestly, I would expect at last one more Season renewal of ST: D at this point - but time will tell.

Thanks for the clarification. I hope it stays.
 
I find it unlikely he'll be Captain in Season 3, but I wouldn't be surprised if he came back for guest appearances.

The "Balance of Terror" outpost guy could be a similar situation to DS9 vs. TNG.

Other than the Antares (which was specifically identified as a cargo hauler and thus possibly oart of a different command), we haven't seen fleet vessels vary in that way.

Again, I am not suggesting no explanation can be created, just that it isn't as if there's a good one just laying around handy.

We never really saw vessels treated the way Constitution class were treated either.
 
"Very special" applied to starships generally, though unfortunately the distinction between mere spaceships like Merik's SS Beagle and starships like those in Starfleet service got lost over time.

Yes, but only the Constitution got called out as having "only 12 like her."

But, even so, there are plenty of reasons or ways to rationalize the different uniforms. Even the US Navy test drives uniforms prior to full release. I don't find it that outlandish.
 
In "The Way of the Warrior", Worf is wearing his TNG style gold uniform when he comes over DS9, until the end when he's officially taken assignment and switched to a DS9 style red uniform. Likewise, Pike wore his gold uniform for most of "Brother" before we saw him switch to his DIS style uniform. In fact, when Sisko took temporary assignment on Earth he switched from his DS9 style uniform to his old TNG style uniform he hadn't worn since "Emissary". While we've seen crew like those on the USS Lakota wear TNG style uniforms, we'd see the crew of the Equinox and Voyager wear DS9 style uniforms.

So what DISCOVERY is depicting isn't all that different from how past shows handled uniforms.

DSG2k just doesn't like Discovery. If DSC does it, then it's bad, even if previous movies/shows did it.

Discovery won't be cancelled, even if S2 doesn't meet CBS expectations.

It would be bad press for CBSAA and negative for investor confidence.

More likely, S3 will get a significantly reduced budget. Especially likely after the excessive spending on S2 and the behind the scenes drama.

Oh please the behind the scenes drama of S1 was way worse (Hell, Smallcock and his cronies were claiming ST: D S1 was viewed as "so bad" CBSAA cancelled it - was rushing the "Kahn miniseries" into production; and ST: D would never be shown/streamed to the Public <--- Remind me again...how much of all that came to pass? ;)); and ST: D still got a budget bump for S2 (Plus an extra 1 episode order.).

If S2 is good enough that CBSAA gives a renewal for S3 renewal, they're not going to suddenly cut the budget as this IS their CBSAA Flagshjp show at this point in time..
 
No, but Discovery did it so it is bad and requires an in depth explanation.
True, my bad.

The writers of DISCO are out to destroy this franchise, because they hate Star Trek and its fans. Gene is rolling in his grave. True Star Trek fans reject this show. Netflix stopped funding it because they were unhappy that the show didn't adhere to canon by looking like TOS. They should hire Alec Peters to make his Axanar film, for that will truly save the franchise because the only way to appeal to fans and non-fans is depicting the Battle of Axanar. Because Star Trek isn't about 'splosions and war, it's about peaceful exploration, conference room sessions, Worf casually walking into action during an emergency.
