Spoilers First hand behind the scenes information

Hey Hoity, a question: Has there been any inquiries or rumors of a Trek series being done on Pike's Enterprise? Has there been a noticeable reaction to the demand for such a show? People REALLY like Anson Mount as Pike and we all pretty much want more of him and the adventures of the pre Kirk Enterprise.

 

Or perhaps it uses a force field that can be made opaque, like @Hoity Toity mentioned about Sickbay?

 

That's the opposite of a reassuring argument. If there's no oversight for something this bizarre making it through post-production onto an aired episode, what's to stop it from happening again, or something even worse?

 

I guess we can add photon torpedoes being launched from the warp nacelles to that list where the ball was dropped. I guess they thought the two small holes are torpedo launchers. What I do not get is - while the scale of Discovery is apparently inconsistent within in the show - the CGI artists have a default scale in their software they should know something is off if a torpedo is the size of three decks.

 

Discovery seems to fire torpedoes from wherever the heck it feels like. In 'Into the Forest I go' and 'What's past is prologue' the torpedoes seemed to be coming out of random spots on the hull.

It's almost becoming a running joke at this point.

 

Variety is the spice of life.

 

Indeed and fully support Discovery's choice to fire torpedoes for wherever it wants whatever, i'm not discovery's dad.

I actually think they should make it a running joke,

 

It confuses the Hell out of the enemy. They'll never know what spot Disco's blasts will come from next. They'll just have to destroy the whole ship... if they can catch it!

 

Too bad they didn't take Discovery to fight Khan in the Reliant. He wouldn't know exactly where to hit them.

 

Considering TOS and its movies showed torpedoes being manually loaded, I think Discovery just has a group of enslaved torpedo crew solely to shoot torpedoes out of any space in the hull. Shortly afterwards, they revolted and in the future they weren't used and instead automated torpedoes were shot out of preconfigured locations.

 

The crew probably placed bets which direction Airiam's coffin would launch from.

too soon?

 

And it wasn't clear why they had a burial in space and didn't return Airiam's body to any family members. The next time this will happen, Sarek will throw a fit.

 

could be her stated wishes. Modern navies and coast guards have arrangements for it still , even though it is seldom strictly necessary, now.

 

Spoiler

Well so far you’ve been right about us seeing Pike in his chair, and him ordering the evacuation of Discovery

 

Spoiler

And the promo for next week's episode shows a brief glimpse of the Enterprise bridge, complete with Burke chairs and red railings.

 

Well then

 

Like I said upthread, I never really doubted any of it. I just wish I hadn't caught one bit of information in another non-spoiler thread.

 

Disco meets TOS. It was interesting to see how that combination worked on the bridge.

 

Now I want to see what a Disco version of the Refit Enterprise would look like.
