- Thread starter Commander Richard

BTW, when Georgiou complains about the orange colors, what is she referring to?
The console highlights?
Those are red to me.
Maybe it‘s a subtle reference to Terran‘s difference in light perception after all..

Caroline Bingly?
You have the eye of a production designer.
One of the Trek novels used that as a plot point for some Klingons. Some Klingons on Enterprise didn't see a warning that had been written red on black and they saw it as all the same color not being able to see that color difference.You have the eye of a production designer.
Pawns and Symbols by Majliss Larson, I think. Great book.
Ironic, because that's exactly what Section 31 IS.
I can't find the post, but someone mentioned here that apparently the paint looks more orange in real life, but since cameras record much less color range then the human eye can perceive it looks more red. The woman in charge of production asked that this part of the script be changed, but it never was.
Ya know, if ya think about it in that manner then the first 12 shows are also "set-up" episodes.
Hell, everything from the 79 Original Episodes and the Four Seasons of ENTERPRISE are also "set-ups".
I don't understand why that seems to always become a reason of detraction, instead of the enjoyment of the 'BUILD-UP' to the culmination of season's finale.
Why would one want to go specifically looking for a way to depreciate something one enjoys?
That's like eating four bowls of ones favorite ice cream and then telling everybody who'll listen you hated it.
She was talking about the colour on the orignal TOS set though which depending on the light sometimes appeared a bit orange. On the Enterprise in DIS there was no orange. I interpreted it just as a snide comment from Georgiou about the colourfulness of the bridge.
They certainly are afraid of Killer Whales.
Great Whites have been shown to clear an area very fast, with just the smell of a Orca nearby.
Canon violation. That should be Commander Gnomechild. Worst meme ever.

Agreed. If you think about it, the entire act of coitus is a set up until the last seven seconds.
Not sure that makes it cruddy or unenjoyable.
Maybe for people who don't like set-up I guess?
But they apparently matched the TOS paint.
"Deverell reveals, she had to go through multiple color studies to match what is known as “Enterprise Red” (...) “There is a distinct Enterprise Red,” Deverell explains. “I actually took that color from the CBS archives ... and it was orange! In certain episodes of TOS, the red became more of an orange. I went insane looking at different color tests. It is red. But, in canon, it’s also orange."

It seems to me that with the large size of Discovery and the obvious amount of energy it must take for its impulse engines, there's probably more than enough energy left over when in idle to power the EMERGENCY ESCAPE Platforms, since they are only used while standing still, in an Emergency.

Because pure setup episodes by their nature lack the structure of a story, in simple terms they don't have a beginning, middle and end, and often they feel like they are only a beginning. It's like acts one and two of an episode. It would be nice if there was at least a mini story going on within the episode so it had its own independent identity. The best arc episodes do that, so that there is something to part 1 that isn't just setting up part 2. BOBW1, Chain of Command 1, In Purgatory's Shadow, A Time to Stand, Scorpion, the Dogs of War, all work much better as standalone episodes because they have substance to them in and of themselves, they're not just an hour talking about what will happen next week. That's why 'setup episodes' get stick.
One would assume that back in Season-1, they came together at least once.
(of course, that would depend on how good Tyler is in bed)
This episode really started off well but got bogged down in dramatic goodbyes and farewell speeches that pushed it to the end of the episode. If I were to guess I would say this is the episode they split to make a longer season.
Enterprise bridge and interior. F'ing amazing. What a faithful update. This is what the JJ Enterprise should have been.
