Discovery in Variety
- Thread starter RAMA
- Start date
Looks like they're throwing gang signs.
I'm sure that will offend somebody enough for them to declare loudly that they will NOT be watching this show next month.

Obviously they've rebooted the Vulcan salute
Wait, we're not in a gang?!?
The Blue Sombreros
OK, whew, thought so!
Why aren't they in uniform?
Aside from the usual airbrushing, Michelle Yeoh's head doesn't seem to meet her neck correctly.
I know of one guy who flipped his lid because Zoe Saldana positioned her thumb incorrectly while doing the LLAP salute about a year ago.I'm sure that will offend somebody enough for them to declare loudly that they will NOT be watching this show next month.
Hmm looks like an engineering set in what I'd guess to be in the Discovery. Either way loving the cast, and can't wait for more as we crawl closer to the premiere date!
They're only pretending to be in the space army. Not really in the space army.

Here's the article!
The set for a third, a Klingon starship, cost $3 million
Wow!
Excerpts:
The average episode costs $8 million-$8.5 million. “It was like shooting a movie, the scale of it,” Yeoh says of making the pilot, which was directed by David Semel, who clashed with Fuller. “It wasn’t just ‘Quick, let’s get the shot. Move, move.’ ”
Only a handful of shows have ever had the kind of budget that “Discovery” has. And many, like “Discovery,” were dogged by reports of behind-the-scenes drama. Netflix sacrificed its more-successful-than-thou image to cancel “Marco Polo” and “The Get Down.” “Vinyl” contributed to the firing of HBO’s Michael Lombardo, one of the most successful programming execs of the last decade.
“We’ve been surprised by how well they’ve done,” TV business analyst Michael Nathanson says of All Access. “The idea is that there are all these superfans out there who don’t want to pay for [large cable packages]. If you’re able to identify people who are superfans or who are not part of the pay-TV ecosystem [but will] pay six bucks a month — it’s not going to be a meter-moving number today, but if they can grow their business to 4 million subs, it’s going to start being really meaningful in three or four years.”
though no renewal is yet official, the two have a road map for season two and the beginnings of one for season three. They are Trekkers now.
Given the show’s platform, it will be difficult to judge just how many people are being uplifted by “Discovery.” As is common with streaming services, no ratings will be forthcoming. CBS is unlikely to reveal detailed All Access subscriber numbers after the premiere. There will be no easy way to measure the success or failure of “Discovery” — save one.
“Our metric right now is Les Moonves saying, ‘I’ve watched the first six episodes, and I love them,’” Harberts says. “That’s the metric at the moment.”
