Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Hey just curious: when will there be an official SNW board in the Paramount section of the forum?

2 weeks before premiere.

What is more likely:
- Pike doesn't know that his own uniforms aren't new in the main show
- Pike is lying about old uniforms being new
- They used existing main show costumes in the filler show

Or maybe not every single line of dialogue is meant to be taken so literally.

 

[Dukhat]

Pike said the uniforms were new.

Later, there is a Short Trek showing that the uniforms were not new.

New canon takes precedence over old canon. Therefore, Pike's statement should be ignored.

I guess Starfleet decided that keeping the monster maroons for 80 years wasn’t a good idea.

They were born a bad idea.

No reason to apply strict literalism.

Is this your first day as a Trek fan? Literalism is our bread and butter. If a character says something happened a year ago, it means a year ago right down to the second.

True, but I am all for evolving.

Warp 10 here we come.

Anson Mount in the SNW Enterprise transporter room set.

My God, that thing is HUGE. How many people do you think can stand there together at maximum?

It's gotta be WAY more than 7. Having only 7 Transport Pads is kinda wasteful, but also understandable to a degree.

Especially given Computer History where Computers were HUGE back in the day and got smaller as time progressed.

So to see SNW's Transporter go from that size to what we see in TOS, it does make sense.

But a Transporter Pad of that size should be able to handle ALOT more people in the future in my 26th century Head Canon.

So long as it sounds as it should I am good.

That's normal size.

Actually, it makes no sense whatsoever, because the differences are more than just making the transporter room smaller.

They also made several other improvements by the time of TOS, like putting carpet down so that transporter operators weren't blinded by the reflections.

Yes, the requisite equipment underneath the Transporter Pad needs to also get smaller.

Same with the entire Technology stack that operates the Transporter Room.

 

[GNDN18]

Maybe these will help.

 

[Dukhat]

I get the feeling that my point was completely missed. Oh well.

 

[DaveyNY]

Heh ... I think the word you were looking for was 'Ignored' more than missed.

Always moving forward.

 

[Noname Given]

The fact is:

The original TOS sets of the 1960s were designed to look good in a 4 by 3 TV screen ratio.

The new sets are larger because they are designed to look good on a 16 by 9 HD TV screen, and are in fact designed for a modern Cinema theater screen ratio.

So, yeah of course they're going to look larger with more interior space.

Closer looks at the uniforms

There is Discovery Season 4 stuff in here too, so spoiler warning

If athletic wear in these patterns are not made it is a big missed opportunity.

I like the uniforms a lot. Interesting how the female versions have the black side pieces and the male versions don’t, even though they do have the separate bits there. And they replicated the branch insignia patterns in the fabric, straight out of the Kelvinverse unis. Nicely done!
