And that's a good thing.
Don't let Prax see the holographic panels. Send them to me!
New Picard SDCC Trailer
- Thread starter Prax
- Start date
Cut to a few years from now when there is a Trek show that looks just like one from either the '60s or '90s.
It's filmed exactly like TNG and VOY, which is terribly flat and dated.
20 years is pretty long.
There are red Romulan bird logos as wellIs this a prison on a Borg cube?
Those look like alcoves in the back there and I *think* that is Romulan text to the right of the English.
Ten years ago smart phones were just breaking in. Now they are everywhere.
Yes, 20 years is a long freaking time.
And I wanna say Vulcan script, but that could easily be Romulan I guess. I can't remember what written Romulan looks like.
I was going to say the same thing. I find TheOrville highly enjoyable. It's Trek as far as I'm concerned, done in the style we saw for so long. If the new stuff doesn't sit well with everyone, watch that.
You’re complaining about fan service when almost everyone wants a Pike and Spock series. This series feels like one geared towards the 24th century trek fans and considering that was the time I grew up, I’m excited as heck. Bring on the Borg.
Yes, I'm complaining about fan service. I'm tired of fan service. I'm glad many are excited for this show. I am, in a way, but it's for the Romulans. The fact that the Borg are coming back disgusts me.
I'll not censor my opinion. Sorry.
that’s fair. It just feels like since Enterprise season 4 Star Trek has been more fan servicey than not. I just think it’s inevitable that’s where the franchise is now. Also we are in a time of remakes and nostalgia. This is treks version.
I do agree though. I’ve always wanted more Romulans because they are severely underused, so I’m glad they are also a focus of this series.
The Supernova is a 3 after that 15 years ago.
Oh okay!
The way to block, film and cut a film or TV show is a stylistic choice. If I remember correctly, Berman made the choice to shoot, block and cut TNG in a style that was also used in movies for the 1940s/50s to give the show a calm and elegant appearance. They also used hairstyles of around the 1940s/50s and only classical music to avoid dating the show by referencing 1980s/90s pop culture.
I think that's part of my frustration. It's a symptom of current culture to rehash nostalgia. We are, ironically, becoming more like TNG future, in which we do not see new art being created, but rather the crew exploring Shakespeare, Beowulf, 3 Musketeers, Sherlock Holmes, etc.
We are not longer making new art. We are becoming stagnant.
That's muy frustration. Star Trek is no longer "boldly going" and that makes me sad.
There might be something to this - the earlier teaser trailer established that Picard had been promoted to Admiral before leaving Starfleet, but Spiner's character refers to him as "captain".
