Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium"

[Fateor]

It wasn’t just the make up, it was also them using the correct Marc Okrand Klingon language pronunciations.

When Voq/Ash spoke Klingon when in human form he sounded nearly the same as he did with all the makeup on.

Same with Mary Chieffo when she played L’Rell again in voice over for Star Trek online.

No, that's just the excuse they gave after finding out how difficult it was for the actress/actors to speak with the prosthetics on.

Which we know because their way of speaking audibly changed after the makeup did. Also... Because... You know... Interviews where the actress admitted it...

Why is it laughable? The Enterprise bridge looked fantastic in 66 and is a iconic set.

Really? Look at many a shot in HD on the Bluy Rays and you can see sanded down and repainted areas of sections of the 1701 Bridge in 1966. And yes, they are derails that the DP knew would NEVER be discernable on broadcast TV in 1966 but stick out today.

The SNW Bridge set is a very faithful and wonderful update to that set design and NOT 'disrespectful if TOS at all. It's also better that ANTYTHING they did for the feature film era from TMP to TUC.

The SNW bridge is what that soccer pitch- or parking lot-sized monstrosity in DSC should have been, or something a lot closer to it.

 

[Sketcher]

If the TOS bridge was so perfect they never would've updated it for any of the movies.

 

[cooleddie74]

ENT did a masterful job on the TOS Connie bridge, but even it updated static images on screens to be dynamic and you could do more with the control interfaces than you could on TOS itself.

The ship had a refit. Thats what happens when a 30 year old ship gets a refit. It looks different and updated.

I think that means they will engineer another meeting between the UFP and the Gorn, with different parameters . And through that meeting how the Gorn are perceived will change. (Arena)

Increasingly, we see frequent examples that media comprehension in the twenty-first century is piss-poor. Unless the narrative explicitly spells things out in simple language and figuratively holds one's hands and leads one to the correct conclusions, you're going to get bizarre takes like, "The Metrons said they're gonna erase everyone's memories of the Gorn" or "The Metrons are gonna alter everyone's perceptions so that Kirk (and the crew watching on the viewscreen) see the Gorn as a guy in an unconvincing rubber lizardman suit." instead of the sensible, logical take above.

"How dare you say we piss on the poor?"

It shouldn't need it if it's perfect. It does not fit at all.

The TOS bridge was fabulous for its time, but that was almost 60 years ago and not only have TV shows moved on, but we as an audience have as well.
(well, apparently most of us have)

I mean, the TOS bridge was even jarring to me when it showed up in the holodeck in TNG in "Relics." And that was over 30 years ago and not seen (when first aired) in HD.

It's nice to see in 1 or 2 episodes as nostalgia bait, not for an entire modern TV series.

Advancements in technology on 20 plus years, general wear and tear etc. Ships are refit all the time to keep up with advancing tech.

 

[Mr Awe]

One word explains it all ... METRONS

That could explain it. But the characters didn't know that at the start and should've been surprised. But, like I said, common mistakes in SF. No biggie.

ADR, for Christ's sake!

 

[Tuskin38]

in the pilot episode even when T'Kuvma did speak English, he was still impossible to understand.

That was probably also intentional.

 

[cooleddie74]

Yeah, that specific dialogue was looped. Not recorded in real time.

Picard: So whose idea was it to turn the ships into 1960s style playsets?

Scotty: Pelia's. She got stuck in that hippy timeframe, being a roadie back in the day and all that, and eventually she snapped and tried to turn all the ships to fit her desired aesthetic. Unfortunately as the oldest engineer in Starfleet she had so much power that no one could or would overrule her.

The two do not fit together was my point. One does not look like it leads to other, especially not within 18 months.

Cleverly foreshadowing or clumsily retconning? After an Arena rewatch I'm going to have to go with the latter.
