Picard and 25%

CBS released a PR statement a few days after the '25%' thing started circulating saying they owned the TOS Connie design and that the DSC changes were for 'creative reasons'.

Not to mention the fact that the Discoprise is actually 100% different from the TOS Enterprise, not 25%. The overall shape is similar, but there isn't a single specific attribute of the design that matches the TOS version completely.
 
I've never like the TOS Enterprise's thin Warp Nacelle Pylons, I've always preferred the TMP Angled Pylons.

So Discoprise being angled made me happy =D

I like my Warp Nacelle Pylons to be a little bit more Beefy, I like them to have a "Sturdy" looking feel relative to the mass and volume of the rest of the body.
 
Well the straight ones on the DSC Connie are just as thick as the angled ones. All they did was change it an angle.
 
But you're interested enough to watch YouTube fake news / nerdrage videos about it, and to post threads here about topics that are at least 75% bullshit.

Did interpret correctly, 75% of my posts are bullshit? Is this the percentage which all moderators have agreed upon? Or just the moderators of this Picard forum?
 
But, since you seem to put stock in YouTube videos, here's one that tears all of the ridiculous fanboy conspiracy theories to shreds using facts and logic.

Perhaps I trust people too much? But for some reason that particular linked video is to be trusted?

Trust whatever you want. Go ahead and believe in flat Earth theory for all I care, as I'm sure Midnight's Edge Lord would encourage if it made him money. The video I posted actually uses facts and common sense as opposed to wild and baseless conspiracy theories that the poster pulled out of his ass.
 
Watch the source material first, then look at the videos second. It's not that hard to do.

Then you have a basis for comparison. Without being able to compare the videos to the source, human inclination will be to believe what confirms their biases.
indeed, yes. Primary experience is preferred rather than relying upon secondary or tertiary sources that have their own biases.

Just like I tell my mother-in-law, be weary of what you see on YouTube. Most folks there will post anything to generate clicks because that gets them paid. Not everything is bullshit, but you should hold it all to a very high standard of proof.

Agreed. Evaluating sources is extremely important.
 
I heard the likes of Midnight's Edge say this but is it actually confirmed?
Yes it's confirmed as utter BS - IE CBS/Viacom (now emerged with Paramount) have full control over the IP (and BTW did for any Star Trek retaliated TV production - Paramount was LICENCING the film rights too to create the JJ Verse films - they never explicitly 'owned' anything <--- And again, this went away after the merger) - so again, the whole 'needs to be 25% different' claim is BS. Don't watch/read/feed the Trolls.

I was referring to your source material, which is bullshit YouTube videos.

Are you here to post about the show, or to post about what some assholes on YouTube are saying about the show?
 
As a rule of thumb we don't generally delete threads other than spam. But we can close it if that's your request.
 
This thread is useless waste of everyones time based on YouTube videos I thought were trustworthy.
I don't see it as a waste of time since you learned something from it. I mean, probably not the most fun someone has ever had on a message board but learning all the same.

Your choice of course. I just don't see it as either useless or a waste.

So embarassing.... I think I need to change my username. :)
