Poll Which Enterprise do you think we'll see?
- Thread starter Lord Garth
- Start date
Not just from the comic. It was also in the tie-in novel, "The Last Best Hope", which the production team has said is canon. This may well change, but for the moment, the current team producing the show have told us that what happens in the novel can be taken as the official backstory. Ergo, until we are told otherwise, Geordi was at Utopia Planitia.
I'd like to see the Defiant with Kira, Nog and Garak!
Not that I can think of any reason that we should, except for Garak, maybe.

No they haven't. No novels (or comics) are canon.
Kirsten Beyer (IIRC) said you can 'consider it canon' if you want. But that's not saying it's canon.
Thanks for the info about the book; I hadn’t read it so I didn’t know that Geordi was in it.
However, as @Tuskin38 stated, the book isn’t canon, only what is shown in the shows are.
I can't recall the article, but last year before the series aired, and before the books or comic came out, there was an interview with one of the production team who said that it was the officially backstory and that they had worked very closely with Una McCormack to draft the novel. The marketing around the novel even stated that it "leads into the new series". If it is not intended to be taken as the official continuity (for now) then why have they gone to all the effort?
So it's consistent with the show.
They did the same thing with the DSC novels, but they've all been contradicted in some way.
Except maybe the most recent one, since it's been released between seasons, so no new content has been released to possibly contradict it.
I want to know what you've been watching/reading that makes his work generic looking. I haven't seen any other designs as unique as his.
If you can find me a member of the production team who has officially said that "The Last Best Hope" is not canon (or until the show contradicts it), then I will agree with you. However, until then, I will chose to believe that officially produced and released by CBS as a tie-in to the series is to be treated as the official continuity.
And I speak as someone who would normally agree that novels are not canon.
If you can find me someone from production that officialy said it is canon, I would agree with you.
Also all novels are looked over by CBS, even those not advertised as a 'direct tie-in', they're not written in a vacuum.
I will see if I can find the article from last year.
Yes.
All of those except the Enterprise E were designed by Alex Jaeger.
Unless they recast Nog with a different actor (which would be, in my opinion, quite tasteless), you're not going to get your wish.
It's not that I don't like his work. He's a professional designer. It's that he uses similar design elements for things that really shouldn't be similar, or that the design was meant to represent something from a much earlier time period but looks too similar to something he designed for a later time period.
Yes. I got his new book cause I love his designs.
As you know, design changes in PIC don't cause canon issues.
Not sure what that has to do with anything.
There’s only four ways it can go:
1. The Enterprise will not be seen at all.
2. The Enterprise will be seen, and it will be a new CGI model of the 27-year-old Enterprise-E last seen in Nemesis.
3. The Enterprise will be seen, and it will be a refit variant of the above ship.
4. It will be the Enterprise-F, a new design.
Of those four possibilities, the most likely scenarios are 1 and 4. 1, because they will want the focus of the show to be about Picard and not about the name of a ship he once served on, and 4 because of the reasons I’ve already mentioned.
Did the Discoprise work out well in your opinion? Why - or why not?
