The first species we see in the new show will be the Sm'iths.
And they’ll exclusively refer to Pike as “This Charming Man.”
It's art. Designers want to outvtheir own touch on it.
I like the TOS phasers but they always looked too small.
Reminds me of my dad's hair, from the 1950's to the 2000s. He never changed it, it just got gray.
I wish I still had hair LOL
Mine is actively leaving.
With the Pike teaser up now, I wonder if they’re releasing another final 30 second teaser for the entire crew/the series as a whole, or maybe the Enterprise tonight, and then the full trailer on Tuesday/First Contact Day.
My hair had its delta radiation moment years ago. At this point flashing once for Yes and twice for No would be an improvement.
I think once they're done with all these character teasers; perhaps there may be a lull and then they'll release a trailer at Star Trek Mission Chicago at some point
I'd love to be wrong and see them release a lot of marketing promos from now to the premiere date; but I don't think they can do that for the next 32 days.
But I guess we'll find out as time moves forward.
I would think at least something will come on Tuesday, with it being First Contact Day, and a lot of what happens at Mission: Chicago I would think will be exclusive to the convention, and they could get the entire first episode screened.
I think you’re right that the steady stream of promos will die out sooner than later, but a brand new promo being released midday on a Saturday isn’t their usual route either, and so far they’ve all been in pairs, otherwise I wouldn’t even dream of another one coming today. I know it’s a longshot, but it seems more plausible than usual today.
I think they may show a rather long promo at Mission Chicago; but I doubt they're going to Premiere/screen the full episode at the convention itself.
With only 10 episodes per season I'm sure they want to keep a lid on major unauthorized leaks, reviews, Etc until just before or actually on the date the episode releases on Paramount+.
I mean look at how fast they clamped down on the promo trailer that was done for the Paramount media event last month. If you caught it live and got a copy of it you're lucky. If you tried to post it or even post screencaps from it; such content was almost immediately DMCA'd.
But once again we'll know one way or the other by the end of next weekend.

At some point in dime it needs to stop. This past week has been rather unique for a media blitz, far more than I actually expected, though the timing is certainly right with being a little over a month out from premiere. But, I will be skeptical that we will see more, beyond spots, leading up to the release.
I don’t think they’re more likely than not to screen it, but I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s fairly common practice these days at conventions, even with big series premieres.
But of course, as you say, Paramount has been fairly…strict(?) with their promotional tactics for this show in particular, and they’re not super easy to predict for the most part as a result.
I was half-surprised to see them release the Pike trailer today. It isn’t just uncommon for Paramount+, it’s just not really common at all to release a promo on a Saturday midday/early afternoon. It was only because of the frequency of these 30 second character promos that I had even considered it.
Since we're flooding the show with TOS characters, it's time to move onto TOS movie characters. I fully expect to see young Carol Marcus, Kruge, Sybok, Gorkon, Chang, and Cartwright running around. Then bring in young Soran, pre-disfigured Son'a, Krall, and Admiral Marcus. That's enough for a few seasons worth of stories. :P
Admiral Marcus for sure.
I get that but someone was comparing SNW to DSC phasers I think and saying one was better? How? They both look good.
And I wish new designers didn’t have to justify their existence by making changes to things. But that’s me.
Aesthetically pleasing? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Better is a matter of personal perspective. In my opinion, treating a design as the only way to do something is rather short sighted.
As for designers, they are not justifying their existence. Their artists who want to explore and be creative within a setting. To leave a mark of self-expression rather than just recreation. That is the nature of an artist. Otherwise, you might as well have a computer 3d print out all the props and tell the stories.
