New Andorians

[bigglesworth]

I thought both the new Andorians and Tellarites looked great. They looked more alien than the earlier incarnations, but recognizable as the classic Trek species.

I hate to say it, but the new look for the Klingons is actually growing on me (in a figurative sense, not literal... ).

Ok, you and I have different definitions of "little people" then.

Eh. "Shorter" might have been a more appropriate word. Not dwarfs surely. But a significant height difference nevertheless.

Meh. Genetics are weird.

The Andorian looked fine. I liked the new look of the Tellarite better than previous appearances.

Must be a pain in the rear being Mirror Universe SPock though, having to side-step the whole "Isn't your dad a rebel leader?" thing

In a comic, he ended up executing his parents, so that might be part of his story.

He probably betrayed him and that's why Sarek is on the run.

I could've done without them gluing shit to the faces of the Andorians.

And the Tellarites now look more like the annoying prisoner from "Canamar".

I could've done without them gluing shit to the faces of the Andorians.

That seems to be a Trek tradition, though.

I could have done without the Romulans as well, and yet here we are.

They look better this way.

And those additions look natural.

I love the updated Tellarites, but I don't like the facial prosthetics for the Andorians. I'm fine with it in theory, I just thought this particular design wasn't successful because it looks more mask-like. The more minimal Andorian design of Enterprise feels more authentically alive when you're watching it.

And they have blue skin and antennae! You don't need to keep adding things to make it feel alien. Reminds me of that famous Coco Chanel aphorism, before leaving the house look in the mirror and remove one thing...

(Mostly though, I'm just happy to see an Andorian! I love them)

I think the motivation in a lot of these designs is to reduce the human silhouette and make it more alien.

I can't recall seeing the antennea move. Did anyone else?

 

[Ovation]

Subtle movement but not as pronounced as in Enterprise.

Too soon to tell if that’s a new norm or a variation.

Coolcool. I'll try and keep closer eye on it next time.

 

[rhllot]

female tellarite!!

 

[Vger23]

I definitely remember seeing them move. I think it was a shot of an Andorian walking, looking from behind, where it was most obvious.

Nice, I am really digging those

 

[F. King Daniel]

Kinda weird we're only seeing these classic aliens in the mirror universe and (Vulcans and Klingons aslide), it's been 100% new aliens in the regular Discoverse thus far.

In a hundred years of redesigns, the Klingons will just be a lump of ridges. Hence my pet theory that the Horta are Klingons.


Gritty!

Edgy!

Modern!
