Of course you can. They just chose not to. (For the record, I'm fine with them basically being props.)
Absolutely!
A number of years ago, I used the Thundercats logo to make a custom dash plaque for an acquaintance's 70s Mercury Cougar. He didn't use it, because he thought it was too cartoon-ish. Yet the front end of his car was from a Thunderbird, because they were easily swapped. I thought it was perfect. Oh well, not my car.
"Our species has evolved to sense liquor stores in any star system. I sense one now, captain."
"Hard about, full stop!"
If your cat looks like that... you may need to get her to the vet!
Disco-Prime have probably even more make-up. Anyway, I hope Saurian has something to do.That's Kelvin Caitians, who knows what Prime Caitians will look like...
Seriously? Those are supposed to be Caitians? I mean, I looked it up on Memroy Alpha and that seems to be the intent but never in a million years would I have guessed they were. Literally the only thing in common is the tail!Except modern Caitians look like this:

That was a weird-ass scene to put in a major blockbuster to begin with.
Like, complete, unreal 100% fratboy wish-fullfillment. Not even super playboys Tony Stark or James Bond were ever seen having a random threesome with two unnamed chicks just to show-off. Not even in a Michael Bay-movie (and that guy has issues).
I mean, I get it, Kirk is supposed to be this womanizer (though he always was much more the suave guy than the Football-teamleader bro-dude), and yeah, the future (and aliens) should be portrayed as much more liberal, but man, this is a weird scene to put in a movie - without any further context - if you want your audience to take your characterisations serious.

Umm, why would the director want the audience to take Jim Kirk seriously here? The whole point of the first one third of the movie is that Kirk is an asshole and a disgrace to his father's memory, and mistakes arrogance for heroism. There's payoff when it turns out arrogance carries the day - and then further payoff two movies down the line when Jim himself recognizes nobody took him seriously back then.

I really think they need to go the opposite way. The universe already feels way too small. I think they need to give us diverse characters in different parts of the galaxy, and weave them all together into a narrative. YMMV.
Yeah. Exploration.
Mysteries.
That is what made Trek a classic.
I miss the sense of surprise and innocence that TOS and TNG had.
Innexplicables phenomenon beyond the known space .. has changed to a political wars ...and that I don't find it funny.
The Trek universe is almost infinite... lets take advantage of it.
And yes, I would love to see Saurians and Caitians aboard.

They’ve season 2 will be more like that
Nothing like boldly going to the Enterprise!
I don’t see how any of that has to do with my post
That would also be coolI want to see caitian!
that and whatever species Arex was - actually I’m surprised they’ve not tried to do Arex (unless that’s coming in s2 as well!)He's either an Edoan (according to the TAS novelizations) or a Triexian (according to Star Trek: New Frontier). IIRC a New Frontier short story had the nice retcon that Arex is a Triexian but both species look similar so they're often confused, but Triexians are more animatedThat would also be cool
Ah thank youHe's either an Edoan (according to the TAS novelizations) or a Triexian (according to Star Trek: New Frontier). IIRC a New Frontier short story had the nice retcon that Arex is a Triexian but both species look similar so they're often confused, but Triexians are more animated
and that’s the kind of beta canon explanation I wanna see more of in alpha canon!But Arex was more alien with his additional limbs and such - now that we can make cgi creatures that look more real it’d be great to finally see him in Star Trek that’s not 2D!
I'm sure that in discovery they will use a lot of makeup and we can forget about this trashExcept modern Caitians look like this:
