I feel like this has always been the case. A lot of scripts start off with grand designs, but are cut down to almost unrecognizable states due to necessary budgetary limitations inherent in audio-visual media. The printed word has no such constraints and the mind's eye can envision visual effects far more spectacular than any CG server farm could produce.Thank you for saying that, and so eloquently. I was really trying to find a way to express what you said.
I feel like the novels really expand on Trek world-building, and really, with the exception of Tuvok, and maybe Pazlar, everybody on the Titan is someone Riker served with who he would likely have asked for (like Sariel Raeger and Ogawa, plus several novel-original characters).
Yep, well he's one of my favorite characters.Let me guess, your favorite character is Elias Vaughn?
There are many to choose from. I also like Shar.Yep, well he's one of my favorite characters.
My journey was something like this:I will whole-heartedly wave the flag of Elias Vaughn and Shar/Tenmei, hands down my favorite set of arcs from the books.
As someone who discovered the books less than two years ago, I can say with confidence that a Star Trek fan should at least give the books a try. I was a die-hard fan as a kid until the end of Voyager. I still loved Star Trek but there wasn't anything going into production that I liked (Sorry, Enterprise...I tried) Kelvin universe was exciting at first but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. But finding the books and seeing the prime universe live on is what made me an adult Star Trek fan! The books are 90% of the reason why I joined the boards in the first place. The review threads are what pushed me over the edge to actually diving into the books when I was still lurking.
You think TMP looks more advanced then TOS?
On TOS that had full color high resolution Graphics screens. On TMP a lot of these were replaced with CRT monitors going monochrome vector graphics <-- That's MORE advanced to you?
(And yes, I know production wise on TOS the 'monitor' displays were colored back lit plastic overlays - but the REPRESENTED high resolution flat color graphics displays 'in universe')
Ah, yes. The "anabolic protoplaser."Many of McCoy's movie-era instruments were straight out of TOS. See this little machine Chapel was using on Spock? That and other such devices were seen in TOS many times.
Alright after seeing the "Prologue" (as that's what it was classified as in After Trek) for discovery, I'm kinda disappointed they didn't set this in the Kelvin Timeline.
The writers and producers saying it isn't.How do we now its not? in the 2009 movie Vulcan gets destroyed in 2258, Discovery takes place in 2256 while Kelvin timeline Kirk would be in the first year at the Academy. Vulcan is Obvious around so what other indicator are there in Discovery (beyond tech and makeup) that this is not in the Kelvin timeline?
I know, but just speculating here based on the 2 episodesThe writers and producers saying it isn't.
How do we now its not? in the 2009 movie Vulcan gets destroyed in 2258, Discovery takes place in 2256 while Kelvin timeline Kirk would be in the first year at the Academy. Vulcan is obvious around in 2256 sin both the film and series, so what other indicators are there in Discovery (beyond tech, costumes and makeup) that this is not in the Kelvin timeline?
Of course the tech, costumes and makeup are nothing like the classic series either, so maybe its in its own divergent timeline.![]()
They should just have Captain Robau of the Kelvin call the Discovery.
