They look more Ocampa-Human hybrid to me. But who knows.

And please, please save the therapy sessions until after the crisis-of-the-moment has passed. Not while the monsters are ten feet away and have to halt their approach so so-and-so can have their breakthrough, or during a massive space battle where ships are exploding and more people dying than necessary because you have to tell your brother to buddy up with Kirk one day.

"Discovery" loves to use those random "emotional conversations" as filler to stretch out the episodes. I say this as someone who usually prefers more emotional character development. But my God, in the last season it was practically every other scene! Sure, it's great when its relevant. Of course I expect to see how Book's holding up after seeing his planet destroyed; but did you really need to stop the story to show me the entirety of Paul telling Hugh how his work day went?

I feel like if these writers wrote "The Best of Both Worlds," Locutus's attack on Wolf 359 would be followed by a full scene scene of Commander Shelby lamenting to her mom over the phone about what an annoying coworker Riker is, and Picard's dramatic rescue would be interrupted with a scene of Wesley describing his feelings about asparagus to Guinan over a game of chess.

I really do like "Discovery." But the new trailer really doesn't give me much confidence that the pacing will pick up. Michael's "never a dull moment!" was as convincing as Johnathan Archer saying, "We're all virgins here on the NX-01!"

"The treasure is...each other."

I seriously wouldn't put it past this show to spell it out that literally in dialogue.

Looks like Adira had pointy ears, I thought she was Human?

I'm happy to see Tilly back.

 

[warp-coil]

I mean to say they*

 

[Tuskin38]

Looks like Adira had pointy ears,

I'm not seeing pointy ears?

 

[warp-coil]

here, at the 0.22 mark

here, at the 0.22 mark

Just the angle, and some of their ear shape being blocked by hair.

Literally dying that they put a slide puzzle being done into this with epic trailer music like it's a big deal

Michael on Mad Max planet. I hope Paul gets more to do this season than the last one. And please, please save the therapy sessions until after the crisis-of-the-moment has passed. Not while the monsters are ten feet away and have to halt their approach so so-and-so can have their breakthrough, or during a massive space battle where ships are exploding and more people dying than necessary because you have to tell your brother to buddy up with Kirk one day.

While the Tilly stopping the group and having the full conversation at a dead stop was probably the worst scene of this nature, its actually fairly realistic for people when under fire and in life and death situations to have their breakdowns, their heart to hearts, ect. When I was in my 20's (Jesus that was 30 plus years ago), I worked at a VFW, and the stories you would hear when people would open up and express themselves, versus keeping a brave face, where almost always at periods of time when their lives were in immediate danger. When people would be far more emotionally honest than any other time. I find that vastly more realistic than how Trek traditionally shows emotional stress.

But I also thank its often done lacking the weight of seriousness of the situation they are in. For example the Tilly scene she could have had the full conversation while physically dragging the the cadets along. A couple scenes in the ship when this stuff occurs it should be happening in full chaos, and we should see and feel it.

So its nearly the end of the year, do you think we'll get any Discovery news before 2023?

 

[Commander Troi]

So its nearly the end of the year, do you think we'll get any Discovery news before 2023?

I hope so, but I'm not betting on it.

No.

 

[The Wormhole]

Probably not. I'm not expecting to hear anything earlier than January 17, which CBS celebrates as "Enterprise Day" (17/01). It was Enterprise Day 2022 when we got the premiere dates announced for Picard S2 and for SNW.

 

[Gary Seven of Nine]

/\I would love to see some SG-1 crossover casting.No reason,just for kicks.

If we got Claudia Black and Ben Browder it would be an SG-1/Farscape/Trek triple crossover!

 

[F. King Daniel]

They'll probably have new Disco news in ten weeks after Picard's had it's finale.

But with all the hype, expensive ad space, paid twitter stuff and whatnot, I fear Picard underperforming will have a very bad effect on future Trek projects. Disco S5 is already filmed so it's safe, but anything else could be in jeopardy. So let's hope Picard's last season is better than season 2!

 

[IMC Headquarters]

If they don't turn up the lights in the show it will definitely fade to black! Is Paramount+ avoiding a photon tax we're not aware of?

 

[Lord Garth]

Are lights the hip new thing to complain about? I'm seeing complaints about it everywhere now. Go watch SNW or re-watch the Kelvin Films. You'll find more bright lighting than you know what to do with.

It's almost like DS9, the TNG Movies, four seasons of DSC and two seasons of PIC didn't use dark lighting. And look out for when Voyager goes to Red Alert or Kirk's Enterprise in the TOS Movies goes to Red Alert. Oh no! It's not exactly a new thing. Now, if you complained about this in 1993 -- 30 years ago! -- then I could understand.

But this is not some recent thing. Complaining about it now, after all this time, seems weird.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Weird, yes. You could say I've seen the light about the trek into darkness.

Thirty years ago I didn't have access to this Board.

It's like everyone's forgotten the TNG movies. The Enterprise D had its lights off for the entirety of Generations, the Enterprise E was on emergency lighting for much of First Contact, and the fact that Remans can only exist in darkness was a plot point in Nemesis.

And how quickly everyone seems to have forgotten their complaints about the excessive brightness and subsequent lens flares in the Abrams movies.

Again, it's the simplest idea that when it's the newest it takes the most criticism. If old Trek did it, then it's water under the bridge. New Trek does it they should have learned their lesson, the bastards.
