Reveal: New transporter design!

[Michael]

Why are those rectangular gold wall panels all uneven looking?

There are no gold wall panels. It's a series of black (!) panels over a gold-colored background.

Is this like The Dress? Are some seeing it as blue panels?

Ah, I see that now that I view the full-sized jpeg.

So...why are the black panels all uneven looking?

It's to enhance the cohesion of the pattern buffers.Without them you get goo.

It's actually anechoic tile. To muffle the screams of those being "transported".

There was Wrongway Feldman he was in five episodes.

No.

 

[Jayson1]

Fespite the numerous nitpicks NBC had with The Cage, they made the extraordinary and extremely rare move to order a second pilot. That doesn't happen with failed pilots. If a pilot fails then that's the end of that. There's NO second pilot and NO subsequent series.

I agree and if Herb Solow did sale them on it he was still still using the first pilot as a example of the type of show they wanted to make, only he just convinced them it could f be done despite their concerns. None of their concerns seem to have anything to do with them thinking the pilot was badly done or the premise wasn't intresting.

No.

Wrongway Feldman should be a reoccurring character on Discovery.

Wrongway Feldman should be a reoccurring character on Discovery.

Only if he's made into a Klingon.

 

[BeatleJWOL]

everything to do with the idea of trying to make it look hip and modern

Or just actually being modern and reflecting modern culture because it's 2017, not 1966.

Wrongway Feldman should be a reoccurring character on Discovery.

Yes! After he went to Hawaii and didn't like it, he gets pulled into a wormhole while trying to fly back to the Island for a third time.

The wormhole deposits him out in space, becoming a foil for Lorca and the crew. Mayhem ensues when Feldman activates the waking sequence on a Klingon sleeper ship...

 

[Kor]

There's a big difference between something designed today with a big budget that is made to look old, and something designed decades ago with very little money.

Actually, Metropolis' production costs came out to be notoriously high. It was an ambitious project that cost ten times as much as the average Hollywood film of the time, and it was the most expensive German silent film ever produced.

I think you figured out the plot of Discovery!

Captain Georgiou: What am I looking at?
Saru: Object of unknown origin.
Wrongway: The Earth-Romulan War? So that's what that was. I always wondered what that noise was.

 

[publiusr]

It might have been a great set for turnabout intruder..

 

[BillJ]

The more I look at the transporter, the more I wonder if what we're seeing is something rigged up for a long-range transport? Like transwarp beaming from the Abrams films.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Oh dear, someone from the set assembly crew are going the be in trouble when the producers see that they have put the transporter floor on the back wall. lol

 

[cultcross]

I like that they did something a bit different with the transporter. The bridge set is a bit 'seen it all before', and I guess there are only so many ways to do a bridge, but the transporter set has rearranged into something still familiar (console in front of pads) but cleverly different.
Maybe at this stage in the technology development, it just needs emitters behind each pad to function - you get that impression from the wraparound design of the transporter in ENT and on the Franklin. The TOS layout with several seperate pads in the same cubicle is an upgrade.

Awful. Like the rest. Unlike The Orville though, I think they mean it. They are not trying to be funny with these awful sets, uniforms and make up.

Orville strikes me as a TNG fan film............

Pretty much.
