First Look at Captain Lorca (blurry bridge of DSC)

Memory Alpha refers to that as a "Dress Jacket." It appears to have a v-neck, not a zipper.

Memory Alpha had one data point, and didn't have Discovery as a second opinion. So, I think my point stands. It works, don't fight it!! Jeebus, do you want continuity or not?
 
Even if we don't know for sure that it's a dress uniform, it clearly isn't the standard service uniform. Not that it matters, since the resemblance is vague at best. If the new uniform takes a cue from anything in The Cage, it's the excursion jacket.

You argue this like it's some real life thing. I suggest you reflect on the fact that this is make believe and is supposed to be post-Cage and pre-TOS, and pretend that it makes sense from a continuity standpoint.

All Star Trek is fiction, and it all matters equally. The use of gold strips and epaulettes on that uniform is definitely a similarity to the Discovery uniforms, but it isn't enough to make it the same uniform in my eyes or, for what it's worth, Memory Alpha's.
 
So, have any new image from EW appeared online yet? I couldn't find anything. Knowing EW, those articles usually have several new shots revealing interesting tidbits.
 
No.

This is all excuse-making for outdated and self-congratulatory nonsense because it's familiar. In fact, it's just bad.

Well, atleast you're giving us good arguments to back up your concepts. ;) Because, you know. Fact. No wait, sorry. Opinion. As in, yours.... Not fact. Opinion. ;)

What, you're suggesting that shit I post on the Internet about Star trek is a matter of opinion and taste?

You wound me, sir. I would never have thought of That!

Altogether different from believing that this "metaphor" crap is still worthy of respect and attention, or that offering up such a tired excuse for timidity is observant. ;)

Anyway, it's good to see that in all the early publicity the regular cast is pretty much alien-lite: you got Sarek as recurring, and then the one who's being masterfully presented as a smoke detector with legs.

Oh, and the nazis/terrorists/whatevers that are being used as bad guys to drive the phaser-shooting part of the plot - Klingons again, right?

I'm asuming you ment wound you?
 
Yeah, was hoping for some new tidbits, too. There seems to be a steady drip-drip of information now, so I'm sure we're getting something new soon.
I'm sure we'll get a somewhat larger info dump from the 2017 Las Vegas Star Trek Convention. <--- That's the tailor made trade show to do larger promotion for ST: D.
 
Yeah, Comic-Con is July 20th to the 23rd.

Don't know if they're going to have any presence there or not.
 
Nice hazard stripe around the door.

He looks very smart. But I wanted him to be Andorian!


More Andorians! When I saw the new trailer and saw the blue Alien I was all excited.. until I focused..then I was like.. What the heck is that? Cmon CBS! Gimme an Andorian!!
