Thank God. It would make sense, wouldn’t it? Why would an Admiral in charge of Starfleet Medical not wear blue/teal/whatever shade they’re using these days, for example?

Random question: based on episode 2

The notion of going down with the ship is more a noble ideal than a rule or guideline. Captains tend to want to do so, but that doesn’t mean they have to. Indeed, Kirk tells Decker in The Doomsday Machine that he’s a valuable resource and that Starfleet is “stronger with you than without you”...

Isn’t the point of the Federation that it’s better than our world, though? In the 60’s, black people were being murdered just for being black people (I mean, arguably they are now, but it’s more challenge/less blatant and supported now), but TOS was largely a diatribe against those ideas and the...

It might be: but then again, one idea I had to make the Disco and Cage uniforms fit together in continuity was that the Cage uniform is like an undershirt, so, y’know, I’ll take it.

Is it just me, or is the guy in the middle photo on the right wearing something very, very close to a Cage uniform? Could this be the visual continuity missing link for those of us anal enough to want to link up all the visual continuity?

Almost certainly I’m being too easily impressed (I can’t say whether I’m being too “hard” on DISC because I’ve now seen all of it, and my somewhat mixed opinion is well and truly formed), but at the same time while irrational, these first impressions often shape a fan’s opinions of - well...

As more pics come out, I’m more and more excited for this show. I’ve taken issue with the “visual reboot” stuff on Discovery before now (both from the geeky fanboy perspective, but also from the perspective of someone who thinks it’s lazy to just change stuff with little-to-no regard for visual...

Not quite. Similar, but from what we’ve seen crucial details are different.

Ooh. AGT badges and a pseudo-STO aesthetic. Very nice.

Voted Lorca. I think he had a lot of potential, and as much as some people decry the “hard man making hard choices” arc, there’s something interesting about the concept of seeing that in Star Trek - the question on my mind before the reveal was, “how does a man like Lorca go back to being a...

A more traditional “Trek” show with Mount as Pike on the Big E is, to a degree, what i think Trek is sorely lacking. Look at people’s love for The Orville, a very “safe”, Trek-like series with some stunning moments, fun and exciting characters and still with a lot to say. It’s successful among...

7. Would have had more impact - much more impact - if Airiam had had character development before now (as opposed to maybe one line per episode). As it is, it feels a bit like they built her up to mauve shirt just for cheap feels. But kudos to the episode for actually developing Detmer, Rhys and...

To be fair, Star Trek Online had Combs return as an Andorian in the Discovery era (actually, he was literally Shran’s descendent), so it’s not like the idea’s beyond the realm of possibility. (Thankfully no block of code this time, and autocorrect is behaving)

Reading this, there’s a lot I like. Some of it I wonder if it’s crossing the line into the same sort of fanwank that one ought to avoid (such as Coombs as Ann andorian), but the notion of focusing on original concepts Discovery has introduceI might actually come up with my own take on this - as...

I’d argue a time where a lot of fans want Star Trek to be a Star Trek they recognise, Pike (and to a degree the entire tone of S2 so far) is a welcome change from the Kelvin movies action-oriented “blockbuster” style or the perceived relentless darkness of Discovery S1. I say that as someone who...

Schrodinger’s Burnham.

I voted yes, because Mount is awesome. OTOH I recognise that if they do have the Big E, and they make her look substantially different on the inside (they half-avoided that by only showing one door and one room), which we know they would, their supposed desire of making this show line up...

There’s presumably any number of plausible explanations: whether the warp cores of the pre-Cage era had some limit on how far you could go in one warp speed travel before time dilation occurred, or whether you couldn’t travel for more than X amount of time before dilithium went splat, or some...

“An Obol For Charon”? Perhaps some closure for Lorca’s death, given he died on the Charon and - whether the show addresses him as a two dimensional monster (likely) or seeks to offer depth to his character (again) by having some people miss him (I mean he was their captain for months, surely...
