Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

That crowd in particular is one of a few reasons I'd like to see the show be wildly successful for a long time.

Just to spite that crowd.
With Discovery and Last Jedi you get the sense with people who REALLY hate it that hearing anyone say they like it is such a threat to their world view that it causes them visceral pain.

In 2023 they'll be like "STD won't get a seventh season, for sure!!!!" I'm already looking forward to it.
 
So I found a couple peices of Discovery Bridge concept art with some interesting uniforms

Weren't there rumours that there were uniforms back when Fuller was still on that had duller TOS colours?

There is also some Shenzhou bridge, transporter room, brig and Klingon Sarcophagus interior concept art in there.

I heard about this but I'm glad they didn't go with modified TOS uniforms. It doesn't really seem to fit the show. Those uniforms should be on a brightly lit set.

Looks like they toned down the curvature on the Discovery bridge. That was a good move too. I'm glad they didn't go with that design. I think it would've looked way too 24th Century. A couple more modifications and it would've looked like a good update for the Galaxy Class.
 
Interestingly, the uniform design seems to be completely different between the two images.

Guessing they're different revisions of the same concept, as some of the computer screens are different as well.

Also, a more traditional looking Klingon D'k tahg. I think this is official DSC concept art. It does say green harvest on it, which has been spotted on other DSC concept art.

I never realized till looking at those pics, that the floor of the Shenzhou Bridge had windows looking out into space.
:eek:

I watched Vulcan Hello last night and still didn't notice. I guess it's something I will look out for with Battle of the Binary Stars.
 
The title of this thread gave me a mental image of a superhero with the power of endless disco dancing, while wearing a military uniform. Let's all chat about General Disco!

He's the head Chaplin in the Starfleet Marine Corps and serves on the Budgetary Oversight Commission.
 
I started a Discovery Rewatch the other night and I was confused about something. Did Kayla get injured at the Battle of Binary Stars and they just didn't really show it. That seemed to be the case considering her reaction to Burnham when Michael first arrives on Discovery, but Detmer seemed fine even after the big battle.

Also, The Federation seemed a little dumb in BOTBS. They're getting their ass kicked, and they still thought they could get the Klingons to the table to talk. It almost seemed like they got too complacent and deserved to lose. Despite that though, my reaction to the first three episodes was a lot more positive now than originally. Lorca was really a fascinating character in the early part of the series.

It's never said for certain but it looks like Detmer was injured at the time. They dont actually show the evacuation of the ship or what happened to the crew afterwards. There was dangerous radiation in the area of space they were in, though. Or maybe she got hurt later.

And yes I agree. Admiral Anderson looked silly trying to discuss peace once shots were fired. Ceasar had a term for his method of warfare, especially seiges, "murum aries attigit".. the Ram Has Touched The Wall. In other words the time for negotiation exists up until hostilities begin. If Anderson didn't understand that from his own perspective, he should have from the Klingons'. All he did was give the Klingons time to ready their next wave of attacks, which was what Tkuvma wanted.

If Anderson had gone in all badass and overwhelmed the sarcophagus ship with his reinforcements Tkuvma would have been caught in mid-monologue.

The performance by Isaacs is even more fascinating and nuisanced now that we know the character's true nature. Just watch all the little things he does with regard to Burnham, being manipulative, or covering his tracks. Pretty good stuff.
 
I've been dealing with some Real Life Insanity. It's been really stressful. Compared to that, I have to say: give me the worst Canon Debates any day (not an invitation to start one here). Overall, if the worst someone has to argue about is a show (or a collection of shows), then it's a great position to be in. I'm serious.
 
Anyway, Disco. Lorca did a great job trying to fit into the Prime Universe. He proved Spock wrong who said something to the effect of, "It was far easier for you, as civilized men, to act like barbarians than it was for barbarians to act like civilized men." Spock then went on to call the landing party's MU counterparts "splendid examples of Homo Sapiens, the very flower of Humanity. I found them quite refreshing."

If Lorca could (almost) blend in, then I guess he wasn't so splendid. Mirror Georgiou, on the other hand. That's a splendid example.

I look back on how some of Lorca and Stamets's exchanges went...and it always surprises me that Lorca somehow held back from snapping his neck given his MU origin.
