Spoilers marsh8472's Consolidated Continuity Thread

[MakeshiftPython]

Or maybe they care ALOT about Star Trek and want it to have pew pew laser fights?

Didn't you know? Swearing and pew pews are a sign of immaturity because Gene's Vision!

 

[Mudd]

TNG "A Matter of Honour"


She let herself be captured like a frightened tik'kah cat, a mindless t'gla.

I know that this is a multinational board, but could everyone at least speak real languages?

 

[Nerys Myk]

yikes.

future thread:
"Why are they using 1200 thread count polyester vs 400 like they REALLY used in the 23rd century. Unwatchable Garbage!"

I thought all the blankets were made of orange bubble wrap.

Klingon(ese) is a real language, albeit a constructed one, like Esperanto.

 

[Refuge]

I'm all for changing the uniforms... and the rank pips on the badge? Does anyone really like that idea?

 

[Nerys Myk]

I've never liked the pips, no matter what the era or the show. Sleeve stripes are the best.

 

[marsh8472]

because this is iconic:

i think they should do something like they did with the kelvin uniforms: not black trousers, just darker trousers.

It's probably best that they get rid of the flip phone communicator. It's clunky and they have proven they have the capability of fitting a communication device within the badge. It's inappropriately teasing the fans into thinking they are trying to make it resemble the 23rd century. Except for the general shape of the phaser and the communicator it doesn't resemble anything from the original series.

they have proven they have the capability of fitting a communication device within the badge.

What?

 

[marsh8472]

What?

They can make the communicators smaller. Like the subdermal transceiver Archer used in ENT "Strategem"

erm. well. in 90 years they can.

but for now hand-held, ship-to-ship and (in the kelvin timeline anyway) interstellar communication must apparently be accomplished through the use of a clunky flip phone communicator (with antenna). or something.

 

[BillJ]

Exactly. I really don't get the point of these threads. I would rather focus on substantial things like writing and characterization instead of such minutiae.

But inevitable when CBS decided to try to cram this into the Prime universe.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Plus, as the Esperantinos would say...bonvoro alsendi la pordiston, lausajne estas rano en mia bideo.

And I think we all know what THAT means.

 

[Mudd]

Klingon(ese) is a real language, albeit a constructed one, like Esperanto.

And the TOS Enterprise is a real ship, albeit made of wood and plastic. I'm sure it floats.

Have there been any epic DSC facepalms?

No, and that needs to be addressed immediately.

Just made that one

 

[David cgc]

I still want T'Kuvma saying "Here it comes. Their lie," so I can post it whenever anyone flounces off the show. Yeah, you'll be back. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't post about it.

Inevitable no matter the series and timeline.

Do you see the odd one out? If you guessed the Discovery and Shenzhou's warp drive shown on the upper right you'd be right.

Something is very different there. We can see the stars are flying past them much faster and there's all sorts of distortions. The stars flying past quickly remind me of the Voth's transwarp drive technology and the distortions remind me of slipstream technology as shown below.

Which might seem out of the ordinary to suggest starfleet possesses this type of technology but is it any more unusual than the spore drive technology that allows them to teleport anywhere in the universe? So why does warp drive in Star Trek Discovery look so different?

 

[Borg]

Other: probably the same reason that the DSC Klingons look the way they do
