Discovery at STLV. The massive info dump

[RAMA]

STLV will have more info from more panels than even Comicon, despite the lack of a trailer.

4 Panels on the very first day:

Production info straight from the producers. I've asked Ted Sullivan about this and he promises insider info that fans want to hear because "he is a fan".

Neville Page also promises a lot of information about the designs and makeup to me. I've never seen anyone involved with Trek more eager to give out information.

Comic book tie-in cover and information revealed

Novel tie-in cover and info

Later in the week Ben Robinson promises announcements and new Eaglemoss ships. I'm expecting some Discovery prototypes.

Can't wait! Hopefully we'll learn some new cool things! This is always such a great time leading up to the premiere of a new Trek series or film, the gathering of new bits and pieces of info..!

*crosses fingers that we will get to see actual Klingons and Klingon ships*

There is a lot more stuff of course..Todd McFarlane himself will be revealing some Trek action figures. Some are supposed to be from DSC.

 

[SPCTRE]

can't wait for STD action figures

I don't collect them myself, but I know a lot of people do. I think there are no less than 3 companies making action figures or models of figures.

Does this dispell rumors about toy business people hating Discovery designs? Every day another annoying rumor pops up and I have no arguments to counter them because I know next to nothing about said industry.

Looking forward to the comics and books - will probably get a Funko figure if they get one, and tempted to invest in a model, or at least a poster, of the Discovery itself.

Also considering swapping out my usual calendar for the Discovery one.

Surprised, but flattered.

 

[Titus Andronicus]

Definitely looking forward to seeing all the news roll in! Wish I could make it to STLV (one of these days) but one of the best parts of the internet is getting these updates from events going on in real time.

According to something else I read, John Eaves was paying tribute to Joseph A. Walker, the first X-15 pilot.

If that's true, I love it!

I will be there and looking forward to it a lot. I'm not a fan of the novels or comics so it's really the first three panels I'm really interested in.

We already saw those in the trailer

Oh don't....

That was just a hypothesis someone who posted in the reply section of that site wrote, without any evidence to back it up. It's more likely that the name is a joke reference to The Walking Dead.

Eaves said it on his Facebook page.

Cool, didn't know that; thanks. Actually I'm glad it wasn't an in-joke.

I'm going as well & going to all 4. Waiting at BWI for my flight to Vegas now.

I'm still waiting to see if they were able to use Majel's voice for the computer in DSC. She recorded phonemes and last year there was a report that the team was working on making it happen.
