That's it! We blame the 1960's era cameras for not being able to show us the rich detail of, well, everything on TOS. It looked exactly the same as it will on DSC.
BECAUSE MICHAEL CAN BE A WOMAN'S NAME AS WELL AS A MAN'S! MICHAEL LEARNED, FOR EXAMPLE!!!! WILL MICHAEL'S FIRST LINE BE, "CHECK THE CIRCUIT?!?!?"
DEFLECTORS SAY THERE'S SOMETHING THERE, SENSORS SAY THERE ISN'T. Oh, this isn't a shouty Spock thread, is it?
WHY NOT?!? MICHAEL AND SAREK SEEM TO HAVE SOME SORT OF A CONNECTION BASED UPON THE TRAILER!!!! Okay, I really don't know why this is so funny but it kinda is.
MAYBE THE STARFLEET ARROWHEAD IS SPLIT TO SIGNIFY THAT STARFLEET IS NOT A MILITARY WITH A "BROKEN ARROW." A BROKEN ARROW IS A NATIVE AMERICAN SYMBOL FOR PEACE. ALSO: I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!!!
Every other Starfleet base was made of two parts anyway....oh hang on.. EXCEPT TOS AND TWOK ERA..AND TWOK WAS MADE OF ABOUT HALF A DOZEN. I AM NOT IN A PARALELL UNIVERSE BECAUSE I HAVE DIFFERENT SOCKS
Except not. That was a post ST:TMP thing exclusively. TOS/TAS had the banana/boomerang shape, while Kelvin and her shuttles had nothing to decorate their cheat lines. The delta decorated certain UESF starships more than a century before it became a UFP Starfleet thing (and certain UESPA probes a century before that); supposedly there's a connection there, but we don't know what it might be. Delta = 1st Fleet = Homo sapiens Only Fleet? Timo Saloniemi
