The 10-minute Pahvo pitch
That was funny. That was actually the network said “We need to go to a planet and we need to go now. We want to get off the ship, so you need to go somewhere.” And so the writers called us and said “We need to go to this planet and they gave us some parameters and said pitch us something—in 10 minutes.” This is a true story.

Holy fuckballs!
Are you seriously telling me, the ONLY planet you visited in an episode of a show that has "explore strange new worlds" in it's
premise was a network mandated rush job?
What fucking morons did they hire there?
"Make a science fiction show." "In a franchise that had 'exploration' at it's core theme!" "But never actually show anything else than starship corridors." No wonder the Pahvo-story went nowhere - they absolutely had no interest to do it in the first place.
Q: Will we see an actual engine room in season 2?
A: We might. We’ve expanded parts of the ship. We’ve added a corridor that we didn’t have so now we have like a loop corridor. We went a little more mechanical with that corridor which I’m pretty excited about.
Yeah, right. I'm so fucking
enthusiased to once again see their one starship corridor again and again and again, and nothing else of the ship, let alone alien worlds...
It’s impossible. So, when I started out I was like “Wow, this isn’t TOS.” You can never go back to TOS. Those were charming, lovely sets made out of cardboard and sticky tape. You can tell if you watched them what they did. Like when they went to the Mirror Universe, they literally took a Terran logo – which we did use as a basis of ours – and slapped it on a couple walls and called it done, called it Mirror.
So your complaining that the original did minimal re-dressings of their main sets to stand in for other places? Tell me, HOW many times have you used the same dark grey starship corridor set to stand in for every human/terran starship on your show?
Also, the original Mirror universe Terran logo is iconic. I already forgot how yours even looked like.
A: Yes, we are pre-dating TOS, but no we are not going to offer you TOS again fifty years later.
Q: At a panel last year it was mentioned that the colors on the show may evolve to be more like TOS, instead of the more darker tones. So, will we see that evolution in Season 2?
A: Boy, you guys are really digging around! I guess it depends what we build! But we really did go very dark when we went to the Mirror Universe. I left some of that.
Ah! So the show was deliberately set in the TOS timeframe - only to NOT evoke the design language of TOS
in ANY fucking way. And don't tell me you can't "modernize" a look.
That's your fucking JOB! Has anyone of them actually
seen, like,
ANY of the TOS- or the JJ- Abrams Trek movies? Shit, everyone said the vibrant colors of ST09 were one of the highlights of the movie. And nobody's complaining MARVEL movies are "too colorful" or praising DC's "darker" tone.
It’s a darker show in general terms compared to all the other Star Trek shows. Part of that is the technology and the way we light the sets and use LED lighting which makes it darker. And also it’s what people expect now. They expect darker parts.
What the fuck are you talking about? You're designing a fucking
starship. Not a Darkroom. It should look functional. Like a piece of technology. Not pitch black. The ENT-set was pretty "dark" (IMO way too colorless) - but it looked like an actual
real thing.
Good god. Get some professionals on this show. Fast.
