Short pants and shiny shirts.

I really expected that scene. Not so much synthetic severed heads...

Okay, here we are...and are those the Federation-Klingon border outposts I see on that screen? I want to say Outposts Delta-4 through Delta-8...

Apologies for the picture quality. Cellphone camera taking an image from the TV-PVR replay...

That image isn't loading for me. Doesn't look like you have it set to public.

Image shows up fine for me fwiw.

...The prospect of watching a show about the Federation’s version of Blackwater leaves me feeling like Star Trek will be the last franchise left riding the “dark and gritty” wave. (Tired: Doing your franchise’s Dark Knight. Wired: Doing your franchise’s Ragnarok.) I’m all for a show about the moral ambiguity of spacefaring on the frontier, but that show was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and I don’t remember seeing any vividly filmed alien intestines on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Like, Emperor Georgiou — based on everything we saw in the Mirror Universe — is a bad person. Not bad like Deadpool, bad likeStalin. But Michelle Yeoh is great! Let’s call this a draw.

Jesus Christ, yes.

I'm only seeing this

Looks like they added a basement to the Shenzhou bridge.

So someone on reddit pointed this out

L'rell's head gear here looks very similar to a concept for Into Darkness

Also that makeup design has sensor pits in the ridges like some of the ridge designs in DSC

Which is funny if you think about it.

Yeah, I've had problems with seeing images on other peoples' posts, too, so it's a valid and shared concern.

 

[Tuskin38]

Try using imgur or another image host.

Glad to read that, but now I'm thinking I made a mistake hosting it on Google Photos. Flickr might have been better for my purposes, maybe?

I was under a different user name at the time, but I remember the days of the Enterprise discussion threads.. it was full of hate for Berman and Braga. Also, there were many episodes of Enterprise that were rated pretty low on the polls here on the TrekBBS (something that hasn’t happened yet for DSC). Compared to back then, the 5 or so usual suspects who always show up in the DSC episode discussions to spout their blind negativity are not so bad.

The only thing I find more annoying now than the early 2000s is the toxic fandom propagated by some people on YouTube and other sites. But even when TNG debuted there was a loud anti-TNG crowd and then when DS9 and VOY were on the air together there was a war going on between fans of the respective shows... I guess the more things change the more they stay the same.

I well remember those 'Bermaga' bitch sessions

 

[DEWLine]

Trying again with the Flickr version...

Does that work?

 

[Tuskin38]

Ah that appears to be the same map from Season 1 it looks like.

Based off the 2002 Starcharts.

As GR would say 'they always had holocommunication'...just like ridged head Klingons

Except there's not a Post-TOS where they explicitly say "the klingons have always had ridges". In this episode they literally said only 2 people in the whole quadrant still communicate with screens: Pike and the captains grandmother. This is taking it to another level. Between TOS and TMP I was able to reason it out in my head that they added ridges.

 

[marlboro]

Yeah, I can see it. Here it is on imgur

 

[Tuskin38]

Do you have a time stamp? I could take a clearer screen cap.

 

[Agony_Boothb]

Are you serious? You do know what a joke is right?

Yes, to the Klingon make up. The also added teeth. This is not in dispute.

A joke is a...story with a humorous climax?
