Discovery in Variety

[Tuskin38]

Uh, the Discovery is 1031 and Shenzhou is 1227 so she's newer.

Registry numbers don't always line up in Trek.

Plus the Entertainment Weekly article that gave us the first look of the Shenzhou's transporter room said it was older.

We simply don't know that.

And this is all because RAMA posted an article upthread where they mention Discovery has multiple engineering rooms and cores. The one picture we have of the set looking so small kind of makes sense now.

The audacity of Star Trek fans talking about Star Trek!

So now we can't even agree how numbers work, by counting in order.

Honestly they cannot takes this out of the hands of fans fast enough.

They didn't go in counter order in TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY

Star Trek has always had numbering abnormalites. Where have you been?

Learning something called "counting." Try it.

 

[Tuskin38]

If there was only some way numbers worked...hmm.

That isn't how Registry numbers work in trek.

Unless you're telling me the USS Constellation is older then the USS Constitution.

Or the USS Grissom is older then the TOS Enterprise.

Don't blame me, blame the people making the product.

Yes, they did:
U.S.S. Constellation is N.C.C. 1017.
U.S.S. Constitution (the Class ship - IE first ship of the Class built) is N.C.C. 1700.

Just saying...

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

TSFS' USS Grissom (NCC-638) is obviously older than TOS' USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)...

 

[BillJ]

TSFS' USS Grissom (NCC-638) is obviously older than TOS' USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)...

The 1701-B is obviously older than the Excelsior (NCC-2000). Wait, what?

 

[Tuskin38]

Alright, you know why that is BillJ lol

Sure. But I can also count!

Norman, coordinate!

 

[Mr Awe]

I must of missed this one. That is most certainly not blue.

I think what we'll all notice after the show airs is that it doesn't look like we expect based on still photos and brief clips.

 

[Mr Awe]

The term 'Warp Core' was never used in TOS - nor the TOS films. It was the 'Matter-Anti-Matter Reactor'. "Warp Core" was a TNG era term.

[And yeah, if we hear 'Warp Core' in ST: D - the writers never paid much attention to the TOS episodes they saw, or give much of a dawm about the Trek era they close to set the series in (IMO)]

Man, that would so totally ruin the whole series for me. The gall of using the term warp core!

If they say "away team" instead of "landing party" I'm out.

Also it has to be "Time warp factors", "Vulcanians" and "space central"

If the organization they work for doesn't change every other week, it doesn't fit canon for the period.

Speaking of which is this actually called the federation, or were they using the United Space Probe Agency (Or whatever it was). It doesn't matter to me that much, but I would love to see some of the terms from the early years of Star Trek return.

In the clip they showed on Colbert, Burnham starts to tell the Klingon in the space suit(T'Kuvma?) that she is from the United Federation of Planets before he cut her off.
