Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[Jack Wolfe]

Has anybody noticed on the bottom of the saucer section, right in front of the neck, there's a structure I've never seen before on any version of the Enterprise. It's not a reflection because you can see it from the reverse angle as well. Is that just on this model... for cooling or maybe a speaker? Or is it on the actual CGI production model as well?

It's the Giant Reset Button for all those horribly written episodes some people keep insisting are inevitable.

Or it's a speaker for when Starfleet uses Enterprise as an ice cream truck on Saturdays.

Now that brings back some fond memories...

It's not on any of the shots from the trailers that I've noticed.

 

[Belz...]

Yeah it's not in the official trailer.

At 01:11 you briefly see the bottom of the saucer and it isn't there, as far as I can tell. Probably specific to the miniature.

It looks to me either like a speaker for playing sounds or a fan vent used to cool down the interior lighting. Cool looking model otherwise, though.

 

[Belz...]

If only the CGI model we see in the trailers was as light. As it stands it looks too dark and that's my only real complaint.

 

[The Wormhole]

unfortunately, living in Canada means I can't get it streaming legally.

I stand corrected. I will look into this further than I already have, then.

Here's the schedule for CTV Sci Fi on May 5. In my time zone (Atlantic) SNW is on at 10:00 PM with a rerun on 4:00 AM Friday May 6. In Eastern Time, that would be 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, respectively.

 

[Belz...]

Yep, but I checked and it's only broadcast and I need a TV provider to log in. So CTV's out.

Crave is streaming but the only hint of SNW is in French. It's my first language but I despise watching translations. I'll have to wait and see if it updates.

This proves she's the right color, more or less looking like the TOS Enterprise. She's just lit in the DSC style which, let's face it, is not often very pretty.

That seems to be confirmed by the short scene in the dock at the end of DSC S2.

 

[cooleddie74]

Which, lighting aside, was a pretty scene.

If it's broadcast, can't you just put up an antenna and watch it live?

Not in the traditional sense. "Broadcast" doesn't exist here anymore. There are no "airwaves" except for very local stations, maybe. You need either satelite or cable/fibre, and I never watch TV anymore anyway.

 

[Belz...]

Interesting picture here. From this angle it's clear that the cutout at the back of the engineering section has a new structure now. Maybe the cargo bay?

It's where they keep the fighter squadron.

 

[UssGlenn]

Reminds me of the big blue glowing space on the Excelsior.

But… but… Where will they put the bowling alley?

Next to the funhouse.

 

[cooleddie74]

I just want 78 decks running straight up to the top of the ship or I'm boycotting...
