Chief Science officer seems reasonable. Probably moving towards a Kirk-Spock dynamic.
Spoilers Ah, the NEW uniforms...!
- Thread starter Blue Squadron
- Start date
That was my guess.
As for the colors in another thread I speculated that they might be going for a TOS films format for the divisions.
You can still see her wearing red in the shot where Burnham leaves the turbolift.
The blue in the other shots was digitally changed.
I've only had time to watch it once so far -- thanks for that.
I don't know why they didn't leave it as red for now; it would fit with the current situation and they could always explain any subsequent changes at the start of next season!
Yeah, it seems something like that...! Willa and her team earlier in the season were definitely wearing black so it would seem reasonable that they have split off the security (+/- Tactical) element and given them their own colour.
At least Culber is now wearing the same uniform as everyone else but with an appropriate division colour. I didn't mind the all-white but, like McCoy in the various movies, I always felt that should have been his "clinical" uniform, with him reverting to blue/silver at other times.
I still think in time they'll realise that the light grey is too featureless and bland for main cast (as is the bloody new combadge from any distance!) so I would not be at all surprised if this uniform "evolves" quite quickly going forward -- or if they do something like turning this into a more formal uniform and put the cast in a bunch of other variant uniforms for most of the time.
If you need to plaster the four-pip motif all over the place and add the black shoulder straps just to make your captain stand out then the uniform and badge design was probably poorly thought through in the first place...!
Yeah, it bugs me too. The collar and zip on the original Disco blues actually didn't bother me that much but this is just really, really annoying. It's one of those design features that's "just for the sake of it" and it's very, very irritating!
It also looks very wrong when Vance's uniform is very much symmetrical. I also really dislike the very different styling between the admiral uniform and the "standard" uniform. The one-piece version with the coloured shoulders / sleeves (like Willa, but there were others) actually works far better with Vance's uniform and does at least make sense. I don't know why they didn't carry the sleeves /shoulder feature of Vance's uniform into the rest of them. It's a MUCH better design!
It's possible... I would have thought that either Linus or Stamets would make more sense as the Chief Science Officer, as they have rank on her. Certainly Memory Alpha does Linus as holding the position at least briefly in 2257.
Nothing with the Tilly arc makes sense.
They're determined to use the character that way, so they will, but the storyline is utterly implausible. I have found it very jarring.

I followed her arc just fine. Like Burnham she is finding her place in the new world.
Why does Tilly look so much different in season 3? What happened to her?
I mean, I saw a clip of Tilly from the first season and she's almost unrecognizable. And it's not just the hair, either...

Quantum duplicate.
Is her hair different? She's been wearing it loose and curly since Season One. Looks like Mary Wiseman to me.
Don't be silly. She looks a bit different. 'Almost unrecognisable' is a ridiculous exaggeration.
She looks pretty much the same. Hair and weight change a little bit, and even being a few years older can change the face a little, but that's pretty much all of us.

My guess would be that it was a relatively easy change and it save time in future scripts, time that can be used elsewhere.
by pure chance I saw her very first scene in season 1 just yesterday. She did definitely look younger, but hardly unrecognizable to me.
Burnham's appearance has changed just as much as Tilly's from where they started to where they are now.
I think it’s totally reasonable to point out, especially since SMG was in fact about 4 months pregnant at the end of the production season. She had her second child months later.
It could simply be a demand of all the new old worlds rejoining - "Alright, we're back, but only if you change those things! We're not gonna wear that!" XD
When I was a kid, I was sure Scotty was recast for TMP and suspected Riker was recast in TNG S2
In the Captains briefing scene in 'Scavengers' there were lower ranked officers wearing red. One of them is seen briefly behind the asian female captain.
Personally I don't think the crew will be in these uniforms next season. I reckon there will be a new, more colourful uniform that represents the rebirth of the Federation.
