Discovery at SDCC - Consolidated Thread

[fireproof78]

So why are they using port and starboard but forward and rear? That's so silly to me. Fore and aft are the words they couldn't remember or be bothered to look up.

That knowledge was lost in WW3.

^ I'm getting the impression that this is not an acceptable explanation to some.

Very true.

And that is exactly my point on why DSC doesn't have to look like TOS to fit in canon. ENT already showed, for better or worse, tech in the NX-01 that is seemingly more advanced than ships launched 100 years later. The JJ films show us two additional Prime, pre-TOS ships with touch screens and monitors galore (NX-326 Franklin and NCC-0514 Kelvin). Even though DSC takes place 10 years before TOS, the Discovery and Shenzou's registries (1031 and 1227) are smack dab between the Kelvin and Connie; retaining older technology and design is plausible.

The way I see it, the tech in TOS is advanced in function despite being retro in appearance.

Precisely so.

They can get over it.....or continue crying. It is what it is.

From Trekmovie twitter: "Jason Isaacs: Lorca differs from other captains in that "he's probably more f*cked up" Lorca has a lot of sharp edges. Trying not to look or sound like and previous captain.

And Isaacs says Lorca will be "more fucked up" than previous captains.

This almost leads me to believe at some point in the series Lorca might actually end up the antagonist to Burnham's protagonist. Interesting.

Doug Jones: Saru, as a Kelpian his feet are hooves. He's 6'8" in the show!

Maybe he had a bad encounter with the Klingons.
