While I don't agree on the "That Was Dumb" portion of this, or even if this was the "right" decision you do write this very well.
Spoilers Season 2 Trailer
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
They never said they couldn't grow hair.
All they gave were reasons why the Klingons saved their heads.
That last pic...I assuming this guy is a Dahar Master
Makes me think of the Vulcan Katra Ritual, but Klingon style for some reason.
Perhaps Ash is going to get more of his "Voq" back in Season 2???
What if L'Rell just pulled Voq out of Ash and into herself when she supposedly "cured" him??
Heh...
I could see this particular version of Mudd, taking Klingon scalps as trophy's.
Maybe after meeting him they all decided to shave their heads!
Well, the best solution is then to pretend Enterprise got it wrong (or never happened). Either way, I'm happy to give the nod to Discovery here.
In terms of the trailer: AWESOME! Who cares if Kelvinverse Trek 4 never comes out. This is all the Trek we could ask for. Still teasing us with no Enterprise bridge, but the Spock reveal at the end was a surprise. He resembles Quinto more than Nimoy, but it still works.
I watched the trailer again and the Klingons looked liked those Aliens from the Voyager 2 parter Basics, the inhabitants of the planet.
I hope they call that D7 anything besides D7 because that is nearly too true to the design! I'm more excited for S2 than I was for 1.
Gluing some wigs to the existing makeup isn't throwing away millions of dollars. Hell, it probably saves money overall, because they don't need the level of detail on the back of the head any longer.
I do wonder if they toned down the teeth a bit. Supposedly they really didn't work from an enunciation standpoint. Mary Chieffo needed to overdub 80% or more of her lines later. It's also pretty clear because Latif gave a much better performance as Voq when he was unencumbered by makeup later in Season 1.
I'd really prefer if they futzed with the skin tones of the Klingons a bit to make them look less corpse-like. Bruise purple and grey just don't look great IMHO. If you don't want them to look too human, you could mix more yellow into the skin tone or something.
Could this be Stamets and Culber?
No.
The hand on the left is connected to someone wearing a Starfleet uniform. The hand looks feminine (notice the long fingernails) and the skin tone is brown. It's Micheal's hand.
The hand on the right is white. Gender is harder to determine, could be male or female (though it looks older). Key issue is they are not wearing a Starfleet uniform. If I had to guess, Micheal is holding hands with a member of her family - Spock or Amanda most likely.
I read that in Dwight Schrute's voice. Jim: Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
At the time even the ENT showrunners weren't happy with using it - and they consider it a mistake as they did it to save production time and get the episode finished (saving money too as it was a pre-existing 3D ship model.) They've said to 'fill it in' with one of the other Klingon ship models (that do look more primitive) that they made and used for later episodes.
Wow, that was a fantastic trailer. I love the whole tone and theme of the season exploring the intersection of faith and science, and I'm glad to see the "Red Angels" are apparently benevolent beings (unless that's a red herring) rather than villainous. Loved all the Pike and Spock and Number One stuff but I'm glad to see their addition is not taking much time away from our existing characters.
Don't know what was getting pulled out of Tilly and put in the containment chamber. Some kind of spore infection?
Hairy Klingon Darth Maul for the win.

Don't you remember that drop of Spore Stuff falling on Tilly's shoulder in the last season 1 episode?
It's got to have something to do with that.
Might even be Culber's Spirit.
It is interesting though - all the flack I took last year for continually suggesting the show was drenched in biblical metaphor and here we are.
I don't remember phoenix like, spiderleg winged Slenderladies in the Bible. I'm not reading the damned thing a fourth time.
It looks like fun, although when I saw the Klingons all I could think of was the dreadful photoshops we've seen here on TrekBBS
The classic D7 always looks nice, but it's maximum pandering and Spock is a hipster now.
Yup. Everyone's under 35 and most of them look like they're 20. My juvenile frycook jokes won't be going away for a while, sadly.
But the actual fact seems to still remain, the writers are doing little more than fanservice - taking old Trek scenes and stuff, a couple new bits after studying potential audiences to see what makes them squee and squeal the most, shoving it all into a blender, and pressing the "puree" button. STD has the better feel compared to TNG1, but TNG1 (which also did some fanservice) just didn't plop all over the place with lunacy. It got us into their universe (and didn't take the easy route of pandering nearly as much as it could, thank Gene Roddenberry for that as he didn't want TOS to be used as a crutch) and kept us there.
And, yeah, but the photoshops have more creativity.
