SNW truly respects TOS continuity!

I would think physical displays would be more dependable. Never understood the reason behind displays that float In the air.

I would think buttons are more dependable than a touch screen, he says typing this on his iPhone.

I love holographic displays. Screw practically. I love that for futurism.

 

[shapeshifter]

Each successive generation of Trek rebooted elements of the previous. Disco’s was extreme, yes. But it’s not a lot different from the TOS to TMP changeover. The future we saw in TOS was based off of a future extrapolated from 1966 just like TMPs was from 1979, like TNG was from 1987, like ENT was from 2001, like Trek 09 was from, well, 2009 just like Disco and each successive show was from 2017.

What has happened before will happen again.

And physical buttons are more dependable then entire touchscreen interfaces; yet TNG controls were 99.99% full touchscreens.

It's all fake, so it doesn't really matter. And someone will come along 20 years from now and make a new show which will look nothing like this show and claim it's in the same universe too. And people will slavishly accept it because the 'studio' says so.

And this is problem how?

 

[Dukhat]

And this is problem how?

Well it probably won't be a problem for me; I'll be 70 and most likely dead anyway.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I'm 63 and I've never had a problem with that sort of thing.

 

[Tuskin38]

We will see what they do for Worf next year....

Doug Drexler said he isn't a Discovery Klingon, and Terry Matalas said he looks like Worf.

So take that as you will.

 

[fireproof78]

And this is problem how?

CBS is evil. Other than that, I don't see the problem.

 

[Dukhat]

CBS isn't evil. They just have a different definition of 'continuity' than I do.

 

[fireproof78]

CBS isn't evil. They just have a different definition of 'continuity' than I do.

Ok...well, then...

I'm 63 and I've never had a problem with that sort of thing.

I'm 36 and neither have I.

 

[Dukhat]

I'm so happy for you two.

TNG used touchscreens within hardware. Disco.and SNW....holographic displays...

 

[Dar70]

Dead at 70?? You will be nostalgic for 2020's trek by 70 and than by 90 you will be nostalgic for both 2020's and 2040's trek. By 2060's...ok you will definitely be dead...

Yup, and yet holograms are the future. Marvel uses them to great effect.

 

[Mudd]

I'm...older than 63, have watched Trek since 1966 and think teeth-gnashing about continuity is bullshit.

TNG still used touch displays. In 1987, this was very much future tech for the masses. Now they are quite commonplace. Most of us carry around a touch display in our pockets.
Regardless, they still can fail. The point that @Noname Given and I were trying to make was that a physical control is more reliable than a touchscreen.

At the same time, holographic displays could be commonplace in 25 years. Just like the touchscreen is now.

 

[Ronald Held]

By 2060's I expect a 100th anniversary "reboot" of TOS.

 

[Dukhat]

Then you’re the third person I’m so happy for.

 

[Tuskin38]

and SNW....holographic displays...

Where has SNW used holographic displays on a Federation ship?
Even Discovery has toned down their use, which is weird considering it's 32nd Century.

TNG used touchscreens within hardware.

TNG used some intangible holographic displays in Season 1, in the captain's ready room. They stopped because of cost IIRC.
