Then they should have.
Why are mommy and daddy always fighting?
But, why? How can everyone know that, especially if they are not keeping up on all the news, and only found out about DSC through the trailers?
^ Common sense. Nobody should have ever expected DSC to look like 60's Star Trek. If they did, then that's their own damn fault.
There's nothing so uncommon....^ Common sense. Nobody should have ever expected DSC to look like 60's Star Trek. If they did, then that's their own damn fault.
I think they could have probably tried for something just a tad-little-bit closer to a TOS look, or at least evolving more towards it, but with using 21st century technology production values to make it appeal to a modern audience. It doesn't have to look like crap (paper maché wrapped around chicken wire made to look like an enormous schlong) in order to look "retro-futuristic". Is that a thing?

You sure are taking this personally. Like someone shit in your yard or something.
They were very clear about their intentions to reimagine the look. I don't see how that changes anything. Knowing something will happen and liking it aren't remotely the same thing. They could have avoided this issue for the most part by avoiding the TOS era. That said, it definitely is Prime timeline, or at least not the Kelvin timeline. They've been quite clear about that, and I'm sure we'll all get used to it if we haven't already.
This should be the title of a history of Trekkies.
When the Kelvin universe is held up as the standard that is being wished for, when 8 years ago, Abrams was the worst thing on Earth, it is highly amusing to me.
Me too.
Then why say it's the Prime timeline at all? Star Trek fans more than any other can handle the idea of parallel universes and alternate timelines. Just do a new show however you want with the basic Star Trek elements and it's fine. Why declare that said show takes place in a 50 year old timeline with all that baggage, a distinct visual lexicon and tonal expectations--when the show obviously does not? All it does is cost them dollars and word of mouth.
^ Common sense. Nobody should have ever expected DSC to look like 60's Star Trek. If they did, then that's their own damn fault.
Common sense says that the new show with the new look is a reboot and not fully integrated into established continuity. Common sense says that there's no reason to alienate fans by kludging New Coke into classic recipe bottles when there's a market for New Coke.
Common sense. Common sense says that CBS's Discovery will be set in CBS's Prime Timeline and not in Paramount's Kelvin Timeline. Common sense says that CBS's Discovery producers will do their own thing and not have the extra trouble of having to reach out to Paramount's Kelvin producers to match and coordinate things. Nobody should have ever expected that to happen and if they did, then that's their own damn fault.
Here's your source. The same guy who was insisting a new Trek series was secretly in production and would debut Jan 1, 2015. He now thinks Bad Robot are secretly pulling the strings behind Star Trek Discovery.
Thanks. Yeah, I saw the latest uber depressing midnight's edge video last night. If anyone is really excited and optimistic about DSC, stay away.Here's your source.
